    It's alive!!!

    Need more help, please. Have had the M1123 rig for about 2 weeks now. Always have had power steering almost non existent. Fluid is topped off and always large air bubbles, not the tiny ones that make the fluid milky, but the larger ones like when pouring a soda into a glass. Just this morning I...

    Here are very similar ones, without the plate. But for the difference you could have those made

    Do you have pictures or a link, when you speak of "these"?

    NP218 questions

    Hey GY, according to the operators manual, TM 9-2320-280-10, chapter 2-11, page 2-108, that is the correct procedure to shift the transfer case in or out of any place with the transfer case. Keep in mind, transmission shifting and transfer case shifting are not the same and should be done in...

    It's alive!!!

    Hey again, Last night I started on the rear. The bolts were barely more than finger tight, and empty. So, I am now leaning, just like you, that it was supposed to be drained, but only the two transfer cases were done. I am digging in to the hubs next, let's wait and see what they have. Man...

    It's alive!!!

    That is what I thought of first too. Then again, the RTV seal was still stuck, the draiin plug is stripped and won’t budge, and all the other fluids were still full. So weird…

    It's alive!!!

    Now I would need help/advice on the differentials. Since I couldn’t get the drain plug out, I removed the cover on the front. The diff was completely empty, like it was drained. The cover was still stuck to the RTV, and the drain plug couldn’t be removed, HOW did the diff get THAT empty...

    Sooo, a few more troubles going on. While searching for Serpentine Belt, I found one on Fleabay with 3 pictures. The first had a government issued belt, with military tags and other marking for $42 +S&H. The other two pictures were from an aftermarket belt. The markings on them were PK82490...

    2000 HMMWV M1123 Project

    Hey mow***com, I just read your thread about your M1123 project. I too have a newly purchased '99 M1123, so that made me look at your data plate pic and compare... Your serial number is only 8 trucks younger than mine. 187408 vs 187416. Pretty cool rig, and like you I also had charging and...

    It's alive!!!

    Thanks for the info... I didn't even get that far. Removed the batteries, disconnected the canon-plug under the hood, next to the washer fluid container. Then wanted to take off the nut on the ignition stud of the regulator. Voila, the wire came lose in my hand. The culprit that caused the...

    It's alive!!!

    Not sure if my last post made it to you in time, there is 0 volts to the IGN stud with the ignition switch in the run or with the engine running. Since the fan is running at different speeds in hi and low (and sounds strong) I am suspecting the relay working. This weekend I will remove the...

    It's alive!!!

    Major correction!!! I took the measurement from the smallest stud. I must be tired from a long day. Duh. The 2nd smallest stud has 0 Volts... Hmmm, now I am needing to find out why the lack of power. So sorry if I mislead anyone.

    It's alive!!!

    I should have been more clear I believe, each battery has 12.4, for a total 24.6 at the batteries... So I am thinking there is a broken link somewhere, but I don't yet understand the charging system enough to know where each lines go, and where fuses or shunts are that could interrupt half the...

    It's alive!!!

    Hey @Mogman, good news. bad news situation. I only have 12.4 volts at that terminal. That is with engine off and running, so I am hoping it may be a quick fix and no need to purchase a new regulator... Do you have an idea where to look next for the other battery voltage? Thanks in...

    It's alive!!!

    Hey all, as time goes on, one finds things inop on a fresh bought rig. Same here. My voltmeter was not registering anything, so I dug in behind the instrument cluster. Found the wire to the meter broken. And after fixing that, the needle pointed (as it should) in the yellow. However, it does...
