    M1123 vs. M1045A2

    Define armored doors...m1045’s have supplemental x-doors, basically a steel plate riveted to an X-door. if so, yes...they will fit, there is no difference in any of the trucks.

    Problems with my 1045a2

    The 14v from the regulator is required for 4L80e trucks to prevent an imbalance in the battery’s because the TCM is wired to the rear battery, the TCM and trans are 12 volts. Remove the 14v tap from the regulator and try it, if it fixes the issue, your issue is the regulator is bad. Your trans...

    Problems with my 1045a2

    Your ATF in the trans is how old now? Unless all fluids were changed after the auction, I would be replacing all fluids and filters. No idea what your saying on the lights and such

    6.5 engine swap

    Assuming your going with the detuned 6.5, you will notice no real improvement in anything. if it were me, I would go with a full A2 6.5 drivetrain and install TCM to make the 4 speed trans operable. more work and money for sure, but a detuned 6.5 will do nothing for you.

    LED turn signal issue

Nartron won’t work at all, this is the slim flasher unit, the others unit, “can’t remember mfg but larger unit” works with the LED bulb in the flasher lever. The larger unit is the what I...

    Has anyone swapped a 6.5Turbo engine into a 6.2 HMMWV? What is needed? Grocery list?

    NSS is in the shifter, not on the motor.

    what is this junk in the fuel cannister?

    Let me speak from experience...if I find a fuel filter that bad, I replace the fuel tank. Not far behind is the injection pump failing. these trucks unfortunately sit for up to 10yrs before they come to auction, and the fuel has done some serious irreversible damage.

    Upgrading the M998 older fuel tank to an A2 tank

    Yes, but make sure you still don’t have remnants of the old style e-Brake and differential support bracket installed. The A2 tank is made for new style rear brake setup.

    Hydraulic hose fittings?

    All the MM hoses are on eBay for cheap....cheaper then you can get them made AFAIC.

    Which of the 3 ignition switch wires can I use to power a relay?Which wire does what?

    I always wire BU lights on a separate switch, this way they serve as rear facing utility lights I can use and keep on and nit have to be required to put the truck in reverse to get rear lights.
