    Airlift Bumper question

    If I add an airlift bumper to my M1123 do I need the pintle extension bracket or is that for a different application? With an airlift bumper it looks like the pintle attaches to to the bumper with the reinforcement plate. Thanks.

    Torque converter/brake light switch

    My torque converter/brake light switch is messed up. Did Ohm checks on both and got erratic results.... While I'm waiting for a new one is there any bad, damaging effects if the torque converter lockup doesn't unlock when you hit the brakes? Wondering if I can still drive it or just let it sit...

    Glow plug control box question

    Excluding the Camoteksystems box, I was wondering if HMMWV's with the 400amp alternator would use any special or distinct smart start box and tsu. My M1123 A2 came with a 400amp alternator so I assume it has the upgraded wiring, etc. as you can't pass 400amps through the control box? Is this...

    80mph speedometer

    I have a 2000 M1123 with the 4L80E four speed transmission. Is there anyway to use the 80mph speedometer from ECV's? Are there any other options for Speedo's that go above 60mph and still retain the original look. Thanks.

    Spacers between engine/trans cooler and radiator

    I was thinking about putting 1/2" spacers between the oil/trans cooler and the radiator. My thought was by adding additional space between the two it might have better air cooling for the radiator and not run as hot all the time. Has anyone done this? and does it offer any positive effect. Thanks.

    Moving Injector Pump..

    I hate to even ask this question, but with my luck I felt I better. The IP is currently retarded and I want to align the hash marks. I bought the curvy wrenches and the tool to actually move the IP. Three - 12point nuts are loose.. I have an extension on the IP tool for leverage. Doesn't seem to...

    Tie rod end cross reference

    2530-01-197-2160 (12338311-1) this is a LH tie rod end for a hmmwv. Does anyone know if there is a cross reference number for NAPA, Advance Auto, O'Reilly, etc. I'm trying to plan ahead if the shipper is late and I won't get screwed over on my shop appointment this coming Wednesday. Like to be...

    Tie rod for M1123 question

    Are the tie rod/ends different than the M998 vs the 1123? I need a set for my truck and didn't know if they were designated as 10k, 12k or were the same. I was thinking these are it. Thanks. 12338311-1 NSN: 2530-01-189-2195 12338311-2 NSN: 2530-01-197-2160

    Truck was cutting off.... Not anymore

    Had a situation where my 1123 would be ok while driving then suddenly cut off like you turned off the ignition switch. Been going through the TM's and following the flow charts to no avail. Very frustrating. The previous owner said he replaced the fuel filter and I took him at his word...... In...

    Headlight question.....not LED's

    Burned out headlight on my M1123.... Bought two new oem ones. The right light has low and high beam, however the right one only lights on high beam...no low. The lighting wires are tied together so if the right low is working I'd think the left one would also. Maybe it's possible the the joint...

    Another IP timing mark question

    Been reading here on IP timing.... Checked mine, visually, and it looks like it's retarded, toward passenger side. Seems like alot, looking at it compared to the scribe marks on the housing and IP. Aren't they pretty much lined up with each other. Thanks.

    Will leaking fuel pump make it cut off?

    M1123 6.5L. Had the truck die twice now on two short test drives. Turned the start lever off and back on and it fires back up. Folks said to check #54 at the fuel cut off solenoid and check the fuel filter.... Just noticed that the fuel pump has a nice leak.... Obviously, going to replace the...

    Horrible general question.. Truck cutting off.

    I know it could be several things however..... 2000 M1123. 18,560 miles. I just got it. New fuel filter, engine oil and filter. Glow lights come on normally, go out and then truck starts immediately. Sounds normal..... On the way to my local transmission shop to get a fresh fluid and filter...
