    M1165

    I got the passenger side intake off and started cleaning it up. So far it’s the easiest thing ever. I hope driver side will be the same. I will probably clean whatever valley I can get to before I remove the other side. I just don’t want to get stuff in the intakes. I cut up a pool noodle and I...

    Going to hook at my first HMMWV Today!

    Runs and drives is worth 15k to me.

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    Really after my question’s and my research my only concern is the timing mark. I see it on my new pump but I can’t see it on the old pump or the block. I only looked at it for a minute and I think once I get in there I will understand. I will turn my pump up before I install it also. I have...

    I have ground my flywheel trying to turn the headlights on.. hahahaha stupid. I had my m1123 that’s perfect but after driving it I wanted a turbo truck with all the bells and whistles. If injection pump fixes mine I will be looking really good! I have the turret hole and connect the b-pillar...

    I have the turbo intake and the center is opened up better than n/a engines. I’m glad you have a running truck!

    Did you need anything special to get the 3 nuts off of the block section? I seen some s wrenches but I don’t know if they are necessary or not. I can’t find a 16mm or 5/8 fuel line socket or sensor socket. I seen blackdog has one but I hate to pay 64.00 plus shipping for hopefully a one time...

    M1165

    I put 3 1/2 more gallons of diesel in it and that gives me 8 gallons. I cranked it over until I got new fuel to the filter. I removed the filter/separator and what a job. I don’t call that a serviceable item. I had to pull the drain hose off from the bottom and I didn’t think I could pull it off...

    2nd it. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a truck from Retiredwarhorses! I’m thinking about selling him mine and buying it back from him… lol I don’t want to buy someone else’s problem and pay a premium for it.

    I have about that in my m1123 with shipping and taxes. My truck was basically new. My M1165 I’m still working on but I have 1,100 more in it so far. 2,600 if you count new injection pump. Auction is nothing more than an educated guess.

    Going to hook at my first HMMWV Today!

    I wouldn’t buy a truck from but 1 or 2 people that I trust their work. Everyone wants to add a bunch of stuff and wiring nightmares… I would rather take my chances with GP. I’m happy with both of my auction trucks and I couldn’t buy them from anyone for what I have in them. How much are they...

    Tires!!! You will need tires. I got 1,000 miles before first blowout. I still haven’t changed my fuel filter yet. If someone wanted to buy it then I would have to tell them that it needs to be done. I bought a really nice m1123 with 132 miles on it and it runs great. I decided that I wanted...

    Cooling issues

    Every time I try to be careful with something is when I make the biggest mess.. I may be slow but at least I do sh1tty work! Hahahaha

    Cooling issues

    I think I will try to be quick and change it out. Put some Teflon tape on the new one and have it ready and stick my finger in the dyke and give it a try. Worse case it will drain on me. Maybe I will get a new 5 gallon bucket and just drain it and pour it back in like you suggested.

    Cooling issues

    I just ordered a set. You really have to drain coolant? I just flushed mine and I didn’t think about the sending unit…

    M1165

    Took a shower and got my second wind. Went and got 4.25 gallons of diesel and poured it in. Drain plug is not leaking and I hope it stays that way. Raining off and on today but I did manage to get my new fuel escutcheon on and it looks a lot better than the curly one that came off.

    M1165

    I took my new tire off of my M1165 and replaced with the bad tire from my M1123. I didn’t like changing them. I don’t like working on anything with a Jack under it. I had a Jack stand up by the frame where the a-arm attached but it wasn’t high enough for me to get the tire off. I didn’t see a...

    M998 Was Alive, But Now Is Dead

    Few times I have went to first start my m1123 and light goes off immediately and I try it again and it goes off. This was in 95+ days so I think you are right Mogman….

    Maybe this helps? You have the cover that goes around the fuel lines and held on with hose clamp? 15 and 16 in last pic
