Trying to do some research on sound proofing / sound deadening, best practices, areas to pay attention to and what to avoid. A preliminary search brought up some posts here on SS and online, but really no comprehensive collection. For all those that used Kilmat, Fatmax, Lizard skin, Dynamat...

Hey all, I thought to start a thread outlining information for parts for all HMMWVs, from the civilian market-side. It would most likely be super beneficial to the community if you would post a find for a GOOD and QUALITY part, maybe part # and cost of substitutes from civilian Companies...

All, last night we took the M1123 back out for a test drive after adjusting the tie rod ends. It ran great. Until.... ... 10 miles into the drive, we suddenly had ATF squirting into the cab from one of the holes in the deck coming from underneath. We pulled over and found a flexible...

Hey all, We had the M1123 out for a drive for the very first time yesterday, put about 30 miles on it (after getting Progressive insurance confirmed, great rate BTW). The truck drove great and better than we expected, but steering was a b*tch. The tires squealed like I was driving through a...

Hey all, I've been sitting on my M1123 from Yermo for quote some time now (purchased 3/20/24, released 4/26/24,picked up 5/07/24). It will be 2 months right after the holiday weekend since it was picked up, and yet the GP site still reads no update. What gets me a bit worried is that the 'Sent...

Hey all, I am finally getting to reinstall the front wheels, and the TM reads to run the lug nuts on all the way with finger strength. Well, with the lug nuts I removed, this will be an impossible task. I can't even get 5 of 8 on with a ratchet or the impact wrench. Looking at the cone end of...

Hey all, quick poll and looking for more insight into gasket maker material, and types. I am currently working on the geared hubs on the wheels. According to the TM, the gasket maker needed is an anaerobic (meaning it only cures in the absence of air), the differentials the TM called for RTV...

Hey all, I was wondering, in order to get the engine bay washed/pressure washed, what are the areas I need to pay attention to or completely avoid? I'm guessing most systems will be somewhat "waterproof" since it once had the deep water fording kit, but I wanted to know if you have...

Hey all, we finally survived the transport fiasco and managed to get the M1123 to the house yesterday morning. Not to mention, no advance notice, a quick text saying "We're at the gate". Probably due to some really spotty cell phone reception within 60 miles, or no reception for 4 hours if...

Hey all, tomorrow is the big day, the xxx is supposed to arrive ( I don't have a name for the M1123 yet). As far as I know the only issues are no batteries, powers steering is inop (fluid, pump, other issues?), the heater duct between passenger and driver is disconnected, no soft top, no rear...

Hey all, I was wondering who has had storage charges from the GP yard, and at what point did they start? My shipping company is slooooooowwwwww and I am afraid they may start charging me soon... Bummer. Thanks in advance. Lee

One of the pics from GP shows some extra parts in the back of my M1123. I know the door and doghouse cover, but no idea what the third part in the picture could be. Something fording? Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Lee

Hey, shout out to all experienced mechanics here... Question. My M1123 (still on it's way from the yard, not here yet) has the fan clutch control box (also known as the time delay solenoid) disconnected. I haven't had the chance to work on it you, but to save troubleshooting time, does anyone...

Hi All, new owner here with some questions (of course... :cool: ) First off, some info. I purchased a 1999 M1123 about 6 weeks ago on GP. The EUC just came back and I opted to look for a hauler myself. Ended up with a reputable company, but they are charging the cost upfront before pickup or...
