    Oh yeah and make sure you are in "H" not "HL"

    Rear Wheels making binding noise when turning.

    Yes, mine did this when I first got it. I just got an alignment done (toe only, not camber or caster) and it fixed the problem. It also drove horribly before I got the alignment, it was WAY out.

    Well, I think I may have the only M1151 with manual temperature control now.

    M1097R1 from GovtPlanet has arrived

    If its sluggish could be the transmission not shifting at the right times. There is a linkage cable behand the doghouse that you can adjust if need be. My m998 had that issue, the cable was stretched over time and it was starting in second gear. Tightened it up and its like it gained 50hp.

    HMMWV Headlight Issue

    The wires should be labeled and the lights should be too. What lights did you buy? Aftermarket?

    Companies that rebuild these.

    Hmm, maybe you gotta up your game. All the girls tell me I have a cool "army car" lol.

    Companies that rebuild these.

    If you want to pick up chicks, buy a hmmwv. If you want to pick up guys, buy a jeep. Not that there's anything wrong with that....

    Elusive Electrical Gremlin

    So interestingly my m1151 does this as well, but zero other issues. Just the rear evap fan kicks off every once in awhile, then turns back on after a minute. The front fan stays on and nothing else on the truck malfunctions. It seems weird that something with the start box could cause this...

    No windshield M1123 - what parts do I need?

    I'm not positive about the m1165, but I know m1151's use a different windshield retainer than an m998. It's very similar, but its thicker aluminum and the holes are in different locations. It attaches with bolts, not self tapping screws. If your windshield frame has threaded inserts I would...

    Are there essentially only 2 different hoods?

    There are hoods with cracks, and hoods that are going to crack.

    HMMWV Headliner thickness & Hardness

    FYI, Mac Motors has OEM headlinders in stock. They are a little pricey (I was quoted somewhere between 350-400 for the 4 pieces that go around the turret hole) but it will be the right thing and you wont have to cut anything yourself or mess around with templates. Also, the front passenger...

    80 MPH Speedometer Backlight?

    You have the 80mph speedo? Is the light internal?

    80 MPH Speedometer Backlight?

    I searched and couldn't find an answer to this question...but is it normal that the dash lights do not illuminate my 80 MPH speedometer? Is there supposed to be an internal light in the speedometer itself? At night I can see all my gauges except the speedometer.

    Amgeneral direct parts.

    I would think at least the frame and body, but you're probably right that almost everything is is outsourced. I wouldn't make sense to make engine parts, ball joints, etc. I'm told they still make X-doors in batches, but they only make the front and not the rear, and they are stupid expensive.

    Amgeneral direct parts.

    Yeah, the few times I had issues with stuff from Mac Motors, they immediately remedied the situation. I highly doubt that Mac Motors is buying stuff from China. I assume that even AM General doesn't make everything in-house. They probably have vendors (and multiple vendors for the same part) and...

    Amgeneral direct parts.

    Never dealt with AM General directly, but Mac Motors is an official dealer and they have been fantastic to work with.
