    My ABS system finally works

    Mine did the same thing. You would hear a series of clicks but the light would not go off. I am glad it was an easy fix after all was said and done. You might trying to clean and then plug back the connections. It might be worth a try.

    My ABS system finally works

    Much like many other members here my M923 ABS light was on constantly. I had been checking the system and reading the TM's. I found the 2B cable was disconnected. After several attempts to get it to snap together it finally clicked together. So I went through the entire system and cleaned and...

    I scored a M923a1

    I am In the 5 ton family now. I got a pretty sweet M923A1 today. Went for a nice spin and got to know the truck a bit. It shifts out nice (a lot like a M985 I drove when I was in 6/27). It fired up even though it was below 32 with no problem. GREAT BREAKS!!! I got to get into the -10 and -20...

    my current government vehicle build

    the m151 mutt doors are too short. the m151 has a lip at the floor board that the dj5 does not. i could put in a panel at the bottom to match but it would make it difficult to get into the jeep. its taller to the floor now . i had looked at that but the hmmwv doors are a closer fit due to the...

    my current government vehicle build

    yep doors were one of the big problems i had. now i think i may have that solved. i have decided to keep it left hand drive so that makes the list shorter to finishing the project. i will be trying to find a 1/4 ton trailer when i get done but that is a while down the road. trying to decide...

    here is a little cut and paste i did to see about how the hmmwv doors might look. as you can see they bottom will have to be altered however i think that is not going to be to hard.
