I've searched and read through all the spring threads I can find. Lots of good info, but little "follow on" reports of how the trucks ride. Right now I figure our M1123 has had at least 3k pounds of gear removed, so the springs are like bricks. Here is my goal, and I would appreciate anyone...

Thanks guys. I take it that hole is something I need to take care of right now. I'll look it over and figure out how far to go on it.

My truck has the fording kit that was de-milled. I don't understand the kit fully, so I don't understand what was done/removed in the demil. When I look on Ebay, there is a "full" kit and a much cheaper kit offered. Can someone explain what the de-mil entails, and also is the small kit all I...

So I'm hearing this box works fine...just some not fond of the afterglow. It's running well with the new plugs, as I move well into my 3rd month waiting for the SF97!?! I wasn't trying to start an argument over the trans pan. Just commenting...Engine oil and filter, easy...differential oil...

That is the case with all cars and trucks. Not having a drain plug has nothing to do with the filter, though. All the trucks (Cummins/Allison) I have owned have had drain plugs, along with all the upscale cars...Jag, Rover, Cadi. I've also had a lot of cars WIthout drain plugs. Bottom line...

My controller is the Nartron shown in your picture. Is it fairly reliable? Yep...NEXT fluid change I will be ready for adding a drain plug. This time I didn't have the time to dig one up. I am just floored that a truck wouldn't have one from the factory.

In general I have been impressed with the mx done to my M1123 before I got it. Then, there is the steering wheel. When driving straight, the steering wheel angle is all wonky, and there is a white line painted on the hub to show where straight is. I'll fix the alignment, but the question then...

The manual just specifies "GL80". There is no mention of modifiers.

Thanks, I'll get under the dash eventually...the last 4 days I have been under the floor changing fluids. Funny, I was rating the truck as one of the easiest vehicles I have ever worked on. Then I got to the tranny today. That sucks. I have owned Jaguars with the exact same 4L80 tranny that...

I don't know what's in it...still catching up on everything, but it's the one it came from the Marines with.

Thanks, Rapco had what I needed, and the prices are a lot better than mixing PPG...like $600 a gallon better. I have an ex Marine Corp with the 3 color camo. So as I read it I need 383 Green, 383 Brown, and Flat black.

Thanks! That brings up the question...I am not interested in going to a manual box, but is there a more reliable plug controller worth buying?

Rapco was perfect...thanks!

I checked the leads for good voltage, and I checked one for voltage cutout. Is there anything else you recommend?

I'm having trouble finding a source for camo paints, short of taking a panel into the local paint supplier and having them match. Is there a company selling military camo paints?

As I sit around waiting for my SF97, I decided to replace the glow plugs on my M1123. Being my first time, I was pretty surprised at how cooked they were. Only 1 plug was in decent shape. The rest were bulged, bent, cooked, or had holes. Now she starts and runs much better! So, what is it...

The Stearman was a low ball bid I won. It's a long term project that I am also using to get an Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic rating. Next month it'll be a year...I figure I have at least a couple more to go, but I enjoy it. It was purchased by a gentleman in Henderson TX about 2 years ago...

I would call. They do not start the SF97 until you have picked up the truck...and their internal communication between the depot and the titles department is non-existent. I had to call to tell them the truck was picked up and to start the title. I asked them why they wait until pick-up, and...

Thanks...I'll give it a try!

Before I start re-asking a lot of questions, can someone explain a way to limit the search to just the HMMWV forum? When I search it brings up all forums. The questions I am looking for, in case anyone reads this are: 1) What tire pressure are you guys running on the military Goodyears on an...
