Has anyone unwired their STE/ICE harness? Are there any known electrical impacts do doing so?
I’d like to use the plug for something cooler like power to my radio tray or secret ignition cutoff etc.
I’ve searched here and everyone agrees it’s useless, however, not many people talk about...
I've been dealing with the same issue many others here have,
My new to me M1123 failed to start when the weather got cold for the first time this year. It would crank and white smoke would come out... On some warmer days, I am able to start the truck and the white smoke goes away after the...
My m1123 has 12 bolt rims in almost perfect condition for a rebuild. The tires are totally dry rotted and I figured it would be most cost effective to replace the entire rim/tire set with 37 inch civilian tires and some black rhino rims.
My question is, is it even worth saving the original rims...
Hey Steel Soldiers,
I'm moving my hmmwv outdoors and I wanted to see if anyone here has an recommendations of covers that are really nice… or to totally avoid for hummer h1/hmmwv
I’m looking at the predator inc one but just wanted to see everyone’s thoughts here.
thanks!!
I have a new to me Barstow m1123 and everything on the truck is brand new. I’ve chained the oil, the transmission fluid, the transfer case, the rear diff no problems!
My front diff however, poured out a milky viscous nasty looking gear oil. It almost looks like water had gotten in. Has anyone...
I bought the following radio tray off of eBay:
NSN: 5340-01-413-1548 (lower radio tray)
And I’m trying to find the complimentary upper radio tray. I cannot find the NSN/ item number anywhere in the TM’s. Does anyone have any ideas how to find the proper upper radio tray?
thanks!!!
Hey Steel Soldiers,
So I finally got around to pulling my heater core to remove my passenger floor mat in my M1123 to clean out some moon dust... The plastic box that attaches to the heater core that diverts air is cracked and in crappy condition, I'd like to just replace it with a new one...
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 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...
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...
I'm planning on converting my m1123 from a 2 door to a 4 door.
I want to keep the high back seats for the front, but want to use the "padded cushion" seats for the rear.
I saw this item listed on ebay and I was unsure if this cushion works for the back of the seat AND the bottom (where ya...
I was wondering if anyone has (recently) set up 24v battery tending through the slave port. I saw some old threads here with old models for battery tenders.
I just got my hmmwv delivered today and wanna get that battery hooked up and given some love ASAP!
Has anyone else ever requested information about their HMMWV through FOIA? I just submitted a request for my M1123 I won out of MCLB Barstow. Hope to get deployment and maintenance records. Excited to see what comes back!
I noticed a lot of m1132’s on gov planet have the water fording valve punched out. Does anyone know why the marines would do this? I noticed the same on my m1123.
I’m trying to think ahead of how to fix it up. I won’t be flooding my HMMWV so I might just get a plate and rivet over it. Still...
Has anyone here gotten a m1123 from govplanet that was a Barstow rebuild around 2009?
My serial number is 183xxx which puts the build date around the late 90’s, but the plate on the vehicle says 06/09.
I’m curious what the SF97 will say for purposes of historic registration.
Hi all I have a simple question:
When I decide its time to part ways with my HMMWV a number of years down the road... are there specific rules / regs on how to re-sell the vehicle to the next owner?
In my mind future transfers of the vehicle can go one of two ways:
1) Something like a...
Hey All,
I'm planning on gathering some filters and replacement parts so I can do some of the basic routine service that is suggested when you first get a HMMWV.
I plan on
1) Changing the oil, filter etc.
2) Coolant flush
3) Transmission fluid / filter replacement
I came along these kits...
