Correct. My Trans light does work.

Took a drive and watched the thermostat gauge. It got to 220, stayed there for a bit then rose up to around 235 and the fan finally kicked on for about 20-30 seconds bringing temps back down to 220ish and then kicked back down. Happened again for about a minute this time. So I assume I'm good? I...

M1123 so that is correct. 4 speed

Tested ohm at each plug. Chinese glow plugs are 3.6ohm originals are 2.2. New Wellman plugs come Tuesday. Have not been able to test if 24v is going to all plugs. Changed oil, Ran Diesel Kleen, and a whole tank of diesel. Starts right up in the morning. Still, get a cloud of white smoke and...

Hey again Coug! We had this conversation about a month ago. I'm actually in Olympia. On the North East side. I will definitely check glow plug ohm test. It has been on my to do list. Picked up from Auction. So yes definitely no way to tell. I am leaning towards this being a brand new engine...

Hey all I just picked up my HMMWV and it acts kinda strange. On cold starts, (65-70f degree weather) I get a lot of white smoke and runs a little rough.

From Yermo? It sure is! Oh man I wish I knew about that beforehand. Already paid for the transportation to WA. Oh well.. I'll keep that in mind next time.

You're in Olympia? Then you'll definitely see me around. Haha, that's a good idea. Might end up just going 24 group Walmart AGM that has 710 CCA. Funds are now low so gonna stretch the dollar as much as I can. Looked into Feltz Tire and I was completely blown away. Hardley used tires for...

Hey all! Just won a M1123 at auction. I'm super excited, It's a little rough around the edges but runs and supposedly drives. I just have a couple of questions... or maybe a few. For background, I'm Active Duty and I'm a mechanic as a hobby. So you can say the HMMWV platform is not new to me...
