    thinking about auxiliary diesel tank(s)

    I am planning a tour to northern Sweden for February 2025. 1,800 miles one way. Since the fuel supply up there is sometimes difficult and the HMMWV is not exactly a long-distance runner, I have to think of a solution. A fuel can is certainly an option. But at -13 deg F and permanent darkness...

    Question of understanding: Decommissioning of HMMWV in the US forces

    I've had a question for some time. From my German/Swiss point of view, a vehicle that is taken out of service is removed from active service. It may still be used in non-critical areas, but no longer in active service in front (near) areas. This also has something to do with the supply of...

    how to detect a broken CDR-Valve?

    Hello together My rig starts burning oel, i think. Not dramatic but noticeable. I think 1 quart on 1k mils. At the same time, I imagine that I am getting more black smoke from the exhaust when hitting the right pedal. But my air filter is still clean. No oel on it. My motor has only 10k miles...

    air in fuel issues

    Hi togetherI I have, so I guess, a diesel / air / line poblem. The history: My truck ran after a long tour in quite warm outside temperatures and after very heavy rain only with about 80% of the power. I didn't notice it right away, but it was noticeable. So I guessed water in the diesel. It...

    how did the papers look like you stored in this folder

    Hi A friend gave me this folder yesterday. I had never seen a folder like this before. According to the labeling, these folders were probably used for all kinds of machines and vehicles. So I can imagine that this was a part of the vehicle history and maintenance protocols were included. For...

    DOT3/4 vs DOT5 - Solicone vs. Glykol based brake fluid

    Moin together Short history. My M1123 is from Barstow and was overhauled in 2009. After that it was in the desert and I got it with 2'000mi. For the TÜV a brake force regulator had to go in. The rear axle had over braked too much. Now the good man, who mechanically delivered a clean...

    heater fan motor would not start.

    Unfortunately, the motor of my heater fan keeps failing. Has been completely dead for the last few months. Electrically, this is fine i think. Had yesterday, as part of the diagnosis, removed the distributor (window/footwell) on the passenger side and gave it a push "on suspicion". There he...

    looking for the 2-piece seat belt

    Hi Everyone I'm currently looking for 3 or 4 seatbelds in the classic configuration. The version with two separate belts and a lock for two belts. I have searched at all my known stores here in Europe. But they seem to have disappeared completely. Do any of you know a source?

    M1123 did not shift in last gear

    Good evening together My 4 speed currently does not seem to shift into 4th gear or overdrive. Drove in the snow a week ago and on the way home felt like "I'm missing a gear"! I had manually shifted to "2" or "1" while driving, since very mountainous, to brake more evenly downhill with all four...

    can anybody decode these codes

    Hi there I have some codes painted on my hood. The last line I think is related to the rebuild date. That was according to the plaque in 04/2009 and CARC certainly refers to the color. But what stands the rest for?

    What is the meaning behind the cage code?

    Probably a stupid question... but I didn't really find anything useful about this in my search. What is the meaning behind the "manufactures cage code" on the badge at the HMMWV? Mine is 19207 - 87T0080. thx, Gerd

    which tire you would prefer

    Hello together I hope my question is not too stupid and has not already been asked 2000 times. I am just about to fill the waiting time for my 1123 with shopping. Besides the rims on which it will eventually arrive, I have ordered a set of 24bolt. Since I also assume that the tires on which he...

    Insulation mates

    Hello together I was just wondering if these mats are any good? Does anyone know them? Assume that these were original equipment. On ebay I find but unfortunately only individual pieces and not a complete set with fasteners.

    Hello together I am, together with a good friend, on a short road trip from Miami to Key West and back. Namely from Feb 09 to Feb 16 2022. What I also unfortunately never managed to do on my 8 weeks through the US, and what is still on my bucket list, is a local dirttrack race. And/or a...
