Background:
New hmmwv owner, m1123 from yermo. 2009 rebuild. Tires are 37x12.5r16.5lt MT (not MT/R) date codes are 2006…. So these bad boys gotta go. They have some cracks and I don’t want a blow out.
Im looking at the most cost effective set of tires that could be directly mounted on the...
I have. Hence why I posted this thread. The measurements are off to where the rails aren’t even close. I didn’t even get to testing the bows because.... the rails wouldn’t fit.
Nothing is ever perfect, but these rails are outside the parameter of acceptable.
Second this.
They are not marked, they are clearly aftermarket.
My concern loosening up the windshield / b pillar to try and make everything fit, is going to throw everything else out of alignment.
I have to call SECO today again and see what we can agree on.
I’m willing to bet what you have matches me because I now have 2 from him that are the same (but wrong).
If you paid anything near what I paid, you might wanna try to install your rails ASAP cause if multiple of us are seeing the same thing it makes me sound less crazy.
I bought a 4 man kit from SECO parts and I’ve received a bad passenger side rail twice now.
First,
Has anyone had this experience?
Second,
Can anyone confirm the measurement center screw to center screw from b pillar to a pillar where the side rail mounts? I measure 33.25 on both driver and...
I bought an 1123 recently for 11k on Gov planet, after fees taxes shipping and some basic parts I’m almost at 20k. You might be best shopping for someone selling off of Gov planet.
Ill be honest it seems cheaply made and very thin compared to all other pillars. I'm not sure how "thick" the milspec c pillars are. Beggars can't be choosers I guess. I dont have fab shop available to me like I used to, so I'm stuck buying what others are selling.
It was also shipped on a...
This might be a dumb question, but are all MTR tired assumed to be catastrophically falling? I have an 2009 m1123 rebuild from yermo and my tires look dry and slightly cracked, nothing crazy alarming. Am I insane to drive on these?
I’m in complete agreement. I just replaced the fluid with dex III and as soon as I tried to turn the wheel, I was getting some aggressive grinding horrible noise and then came and looked at the valve and milky fluid spitting everywhere.
....peace of mind for vampire though.
I did just check my transfer case and it over flowed a small amount. I’m not sure if being on an incline / decline would be enough for this much overflow. I hope this all isn’t vampire. It looks like the transfer case was rebuilt in 6/09 by Barstow
It does appear to be over full. The line is between the cold fill line and the hot fill line (while cold).
I’ve been doing some additional googling, I sure hope this isn’t related to vampire in any way.
I should have added, the fluid is ‘pouring’ out. It’s significant enough where I heard it dripping and forming a puddle under the vehicle.
I appreciate your feedback!
Forgive me, I’m learning as I go here.
I just purchased a m1123 from govplanet that had a hack-job demil for all the water fording stuff. I’ve identified and ordered replacement hoses and CDR valve as that was missing.
Now, I have a leak of what I believe is power steering from what appears to...
