    M1123 Power Loss

    BAD NEWS........... you are not through...... if you have the square panel with 4 screws in the bed of the truck you need to remove the panel then the fuel sender (round thing with 5 or 6 screws 2 wires) and have a look inside the tank. If the bottom looks anything like your filter removal and...

    M1123 Power Loss

    I would be surprised if it was not a fuel issue. REMOVE the fuel filter from the truck and post pictures, bet it's ugly. The trans light is probably from low pressure from the engine not turning fast enough to keep up the trans pump pressure as it stalls. Algae grows in diesel fuel and if the...

    HMMWV ubolts 12339050

    Your local parts house could have provided the instal kit for this........ just take the joint with you. First time i've ever seen lock washers on a joint before........I'm positive someone else has though.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Let me clarify, I'm pretty sure it was HPG where I saw the kit. Factory stuff.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    If I remember correctly one of the big vendors sells a "kit" of these return lines, rated for diesel fuel.

    Rhino Tire Carrier - Washer Specs

    My two cents for what it's worth, Tractor Supply where I live sales a "shim" in the same size as the large brass washers. Cad plated I think, stocked with the 3 point hitch goodies,they work for me.

    Did all the 4 speed hmmwv come with the 4L80

    About what I found, no use on code for it. 1097 rebuilds in TX. 4L80e is one tuff box and the items to upgrade a 2000 and newer to 4L85e are available. THANKS

    What vehicle uses PN 12563695, 57K6233, NSN 2520016579861. Inquiring minds would like to know.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    For anyone that is a little geospatially inclineed I would be happy to explain how to align their truck. You need a relatively level floor, a torpedo level with a laser, a digital inclinometer (decent ones are available pretty cheap), some square aluminum tubing to make 2 jigs, a couple...

    Did I use the wrong coolant?

    I stand corrected, I know nothing about Fords except how to turn the key.

    Did I use the wrong coolant?

    This anti freeze is probably intended for the commercial type diesels with the wet liner. The anti cavitation is probably DCA that we added to regular antifreeze before the "long life" stuff came along. I know some one will correct me but i've never seen a "bored liner" engine that had to have...

    Did I use the wrong coolant?

    I've owned a bunch of them, I know what they are. I also know what "cavitation pitting" is...... don't ask!

    Did I use the wrong coolant?

    Now you did it! You're going to have to explain "wet liners" to them!

    M998 Generator Q: Can a 450 amp be used in a M998 or is 200 amp the only upgrade available?

    If you plan on putting a top quality electric winch $$$$$ in your truck IMHO the mile marker winches are the way to go. Don"t let the hydraulic thing scare you. Even a cheap winch that requires a generator and battery swap deserves to be priced out, you might be surprised. My two cents. A J

    Demilled deep water fording valve???? Look at the new one in the picture above it. Belongs in the hole in the dash at your right knee. My two cents. A J

    2003 M1123 Power steering refill.

    Remove large plug from the top, add fluid. You only need to take it apart to change the filter. A J

    How many miles are on it?

    Think "fork lift".

    How many miles are on it?

    80/90 is good IMO if you are fording creeks and such, change it regularly, no sense in expensive synthetics. I might point you to ARMY LO 9-2320-280-12 good reading. And FYI, these things have silicone brake fluid in them. DO NOT mix it with any other type! Beautiful part of the country you...

    How many miles are on it?

    Pull the hub inspection plate and check the big gear. If it has any significant miles it would show on the gear, easy to get to. With the indicated miles there should be almost no wear pattern. MY 2 cents.
