Just purchased a M1123 on Gov Planet - Reno NV area

Hello Everyone,

Just purchased a HMMWV and getting ready to take the adventure! This seems to be the place for info so I thought I would start my research now, I am guessing it is going to need a new start box / starter / alternator or batteries since it won't restart without a jump (per the action info) so I'll be spending some time here seeing if I can find anyone else with similar issues.

Looking forward to this, although I am guessing to be 3-6 months before I can get my hands on it, we will see! Thanks everyone for the help in advance!

Thanks guys! This is what I got, seemed like a reasonable deal. This will be for moving heavy things in difficult off road conditions so I don't plan on doing much to it other than get it running well.

Already posting pics. Be sure to post some of your own when you go fetch your new toy.

It will be worth your time to spend a little time with the TM's (Technical Manuals). Especially the "Dash 10" that explains how to start and operate your new to you vehicle. That will save you some money (after you burn up your start box) if you read those few pages on how to start it...

Congrats!

Get yourself a CDR valve ordered now. They get removed during the demil process.

Thanks! Any preferred place I should be looking to pick them up?

Not particularly. Just make sure it's origianal and not a Chinese knockoff. Many people here swear by the vendors on this forum. I bought mine off ebay to save $10 because I'm cheap.

Also don't start your truck until it's installed and you've checked all the fluids.
