    X-Door Window Seals

    One of my doors had been redone using black silicone gasket maker. I’d imaging that there are small shims of some sort if you tear them apart to manage the spacing between the glass and the frame. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New KDS Box...No Wait Light

    I’ve been having starting issues when really cold all winter. Truck had a Nartron Smart Start box. Wait light worked normally. Batteries are brand new yellow tops with a trickle-charger. So, I replaced glow plugs and temp sensor and problem continued. I had a block heater installed and truck...

    Coolant System Component Testing

    I have replaced the thermostatic switch and temperature sensor. If the thermostatic switch is plugged in the truck runs hot and the fan does not engage. If I unplug the thermostatic switch the fan engages. I have the Testing Manual and I’m too dumb to know what to try next. Help appreciated...

    HMMWV No Start

    Today when I went to move the truck out of the garage the wait light started blinking. This was the first time it has ever blinked when turned on. Gear Report. Thanks for comments. Really like your site and all the info. A must read site after buying one of these from auction. After all I have...

    HMMWV No Start

    Yoursmiledoc. Thanks for the feedback. I would be interested in the quote to mod the box. What you’re describing is what I read on the Gear Report site as it described how the newest KDS box functions. I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    HMMWV No Start

    OK. I removed a glow plug and connected the threads to the grounding kit. Plug did not heat up. I reinstalled the glow plug. Then replaced air filter. No change. Sprayed one squirt of starting fluid in air filter housing. Truck started right up. Is this enough to condemn the smart start box...

    HMMWV No Start

    I have an M998 with Nartron Smart Start Box (with diag port). No start progressively worse as it got colder. Wait light turns on for 5 - 10 seconds then turns off. Cranks strong. Blows white smoke. From the threads I’ve read on this forum I thought it was glow plugs so I replaced them but the...

    Adding turn signal wiring to headlight housing

    A follow up thought. Did you wire in the separate extensions supplied with the aftermarket lights? There appears to be a built in voltage reducer which may also help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Adding turn signal wiring to headlight housing

    Rooster. Thanks for the feedback. I read something similar before and they said they replaced the bulb in the turn signal switch with an LED and it prevented the same thing from happening again. I got those bulbs for the the instrument cluster and ordered an extra for the turn signal switch in...

    Adding turn signal wiring to headlight housing

    I have added LED headlights and I am replacing the front turn signals with the signals in the new headlights. My question is where can I buy a couple of the wiring adapters that are in the back of the housing? Hoping I can source them less expensive than buying a used housing on eBay. Sent...
