    M1165

    Engine is running so smooth now. It sounds so happy! I’m excited. If only I had power steering! Hahahaha. Non runner is a crap shoot but I’m feeling better. I got this truck for 14,100 last bid. Other fees and taxes but I’m into it ok so far.

    M1165

    I’m getting black smoke when I give it skinny pedal. I turned the pump up from 12 o’clock to 2 o’clock. Maybe too much?

    M1165

    I have zero power steering. Wheel will not budge. It’s low on fluid and I don’t know what’s in there. Can I add Dex III to it? I don’t think fluid is my problem but it’s a start. Fluid looks clean and filter is good. I have a flat front tire but it should still have some movement in it. I can’t...

    M1165

    Let it run about 20 minutes and it’s not overheating or nothing. Front and rear ac blow cold but I think it might need a little charge. I can’t put the oil filler tube on until I get the 2 new studs. I couldn’t get them off and they came out with the studs. I need a new tire and some parts to...

    M1165

    This morning I pulled the turbo assembly out and I was able to tighten my injector line. I guess I just missed it or I was bound up on something. I was able to get maybe 3/4 turn on it but that was enough to stop the leak. I got underneath it and cleaned everything up around my transmission line...

    M1165

    I found the leak in front drivers side return line was off after I thought I had it on this morning. I got my borescope this morning and it made quick work of finding leaks. I was able to get it in the valley and see that the bottom line is leaking. I couldn’t get in there to tighten it up. I...

    Im completely lost

    biggest improvement I made was a 6 1/8” long piece of rubber 2” wide and wrapped the valve! Zero noise after. Follow the bleeding procedure. Wheels off the ground and lock to lock until you are exhausted.

    M1165

    I got most of it put together and I was able to start it and it ran for a few minutes. I seen fuel leaking from the front driver side injector and I believe it’s because I don’t have the return line on from injector to injector. I have a leak in the valley and I can’t see where it’s coming from...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Took my M1123 out for a little bit. Watched a high speed chase in the desert. Seen cops crash our cars and getting stuck. They were giving me stink eye when I was cruising around. I bet there were 20 cop cars and 2 trucks and a Ranger. Guy got away but he couldn’t have much vehicle left. You can...

    Oil Pressure "LOW" ? 6.5L non-turbo

    Because it’s 30” long and blocks everything! Overkill for my needs

    Oil Pressure "LOW" ? 6.5L non-turbo

    No that was me trying to help you get rid of the wimpy 200amp generator. I figured that if you wanted more oil pressure you would love more amps! Hahahaha I want to convert from my 400amp generator.

    Soften M1123 suspension

    Coolboatguy has this all figured out and I seen his stuff. He has a lot of money in figuring out what works and what doesn’t! Ask him what he wants for it!

    Oil Pressure "LOW" ? 6.5L non-turbo

    I would worry about that low output generator you have. You need to upgrade to the 400 amp so you can run your house! I have one that I will trade you straight across! Hahaha

    Oil Pressure "LOW" ? 6.5L non-turbo

    I think you are just fine and I believe that you are on the higher end of pressure! I wouldn’t waste my time or money chasing this. Many members would love to have the pressures that you are seeing. Drive the piss out of it!

    Oil Pressure "LOW" ? 6.5L non-turbo

    I have 60psi cold and 33 hot. That’s what the gauge says… it’s plenty!

    WARNING aftermarket doors from Global Parts

    I didn’t like how my x-doors fit on my m1123. I never used them after trying to fit them.

    Humvee Starter / Flexplate Teeth

    I believe I read that RWH said that starters don’t need shims. I might be wrong but he does everything we do in a year in a week.

    tip for geared hub maintenance

    Get the ones that are mercury filled… I can’t remember what they are called. I don’t think it’s centramatics Balance masters I believe and they have a lifetime warranty

    Advertising!

    I assure you that not the case here. I got camping ads and I haven’t camped in 20 years and I’m not a woman and I get stuff for that. The site finds their own advertising offensive. I’m done here. Seems like nobody cares
