    What does the little seal in the steering arm cover do?

    Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. I do see what you are talking about regarding the wear on that shaft. It's just barely visible right now but I could definitely see how the damaged seal would wear it down over time. Side note for anyone who just got their truck or will be getting one...

    What does the little seal in the steering arm cover do?

    My truck does not have CTIS. Think I can get away without it? I guess I'll see if it leaks somewhere weird without it installed.

    What does the little seal in the steering arm cover do?

    I am servicing the hubs on my M1152 and the steering arm cover on the left rear wheel was leaking from a bad RTV job. When I took the cover off, I found the little seal that goes in the cover was all mangled. I removed it but it goes in the area shown in the photo I attached. What does this seal...

    New manual start box install

    I also am wondering about this. I'm still trying to figure out if my start box needs replaced or not so I am considering this manual solution.

    Brief Wait to Start Light Flash Only at Night?

    You think the 5 second plug cycle on a warm engine will ruin them? Dang

    Brief Wait to Start Light Flash Only at Night?

    Okay all, I had some time to dig into this today and I think I got to the bottom of it (hopefully). I kind of focused in on the temp sensor when I noticed that I could duplicate the brief flash behavior after messing with the temp sensor connector. I could jiggle it one way and it would work...

    Brief Wait to Start Light Flash Only at Night?

    I have the KDS yellow label. I just "discovered" some interesting things about my issue and how the yellow label behaves. I am putting it together in a post right now.

    Brief Wait to Start Light Flash Only at Night?

    That thought crossed my mind. I guess I need to find a schematic that shows how that circuit works so I can get some readings during the day and again at night to see if there is something going on there. Good idea about the glow plug light. I'm going to hook up my oscilloscope and see if I can...

    Brief Wait to Start Light Flash Only at Night?

    I'm kind of wondering if that is the case. Cold solder joint, corrosion inside the box, something like that that is responding to changes in temperature. Sun shines and heats up the KDS box and it works. Night time and it cools off and stops working. Something like that.

    Brief Wait to Start Light Flash Only at Night?

    Hello everyone, I've spent a considerable amount of time scouring this forum for this specific version of a wait to start light issue and I've turned up nothing. I work at night so I get home around midnight (temps low 30s) and all week when I try to start my 2006 M1152, the wait to start light...

    3D Printed HMMWV Hood Side Bumpers

    I think your idea of PETG and neoprene or rubber on top would work fine. There are many different durometers of TPU filament available from very soft to pretty dang hard. The one I have was just a generic brand from Amazon but at 6 perimeter layers and 25% gyroid infill, the block is...

    3D Printed HMMWV Hood Side Bumpers

    Hello Everyone, Just got my 2006 M1152 and am currently going through it and repairing/replacing all the little things that are worn out and broken on it. After sitting out in the sun for years, the side hood bumpers were incredibly dry rotted and basically crumbling to dust. I found...
