    A2 (M1123) Cold Starting Trouble

    just as it should be.......and no afterglow, that surging voltage gauge and generator drives me nuts, not so much when cold, but on the nartron yellow labels it does it on every start up...hot or cold.

    6.5 W/ Over Drive vs 6.2 W/ 3 Speed

    The GP M1123's don't have GEP motors....a GEP Motor is a GEP motor, but....the term is called "detuned" the v-belt trucks got "whatever 6.5 mfg,be it GM or GEP" a replacement motor that was equipped with v-belt pulleys, water pump etc, to be a drop in replacement for the discontinued 6.2. The...

    Shut hmmwv off and 10 seconds later wouldn't restart?

    A bad EESS will cause all sorts of unexplained issues...the list I have uncovered is so vast I can't even list them all. people ask all the time, "want spare parts should I have on hand?" Well, an EESS box and TSU is the number one on my list. It's easy for me as I have about 5 NOS S3's on hand...

    M998 Wiring "jumper" questions

    you never know, they very well started to remove the engine, or maybe it was cannabulized for parts. to start you don't need the box...you need to energize a few items. 1.fuel shutoff solenoid 2.cold advance 3.8 glow plugs The first two items will be a constant 24v, the last "glow plugs" will...

    6.5 W/ Over Drive vs 6.2 W/ 3 Speed

    M1123's are 6.5NA with 4 Spd trans....they are not turbos.

    Attempting spindle seals soon... any protips?

    you don't need the specific seal drivers, but it sure makes it easy and takes any guess work out of it. the tools are all over epay... The easiest is to do the input and output seal while the hub is on the truck, makes for a stable platform. The torquing is straightforward, the catastrophic...

    Broken glow plug tip removal, well kinda broken

    Except that tip of the plug is going to make quite a racket bouncing around the pre chamber when running..

    Hmmwv stands for "high maintenance money wasting vehicle"

    Question re: date / mileage markings

    This can be somewhat misleading, the newer spindle nut has 8 spots for foldable tabs, the old has 4, the new gets 2 tabs folded over the old only gets one....you want the new style.

    Question re: date / mileage markings

    Trucks got new motors during reset, many were done in Maine at the reset facility. Just depends on what program they went through, IROAN "inspect repair on as needed basis", or full body off...I have trucks done from 02-09. many have rebuilt 6.2's. Look for an MMA decal....may or may not be one...

    Humvee won't start

    No fuel at injector means fuel solenoid is not energized....or major blockage in fuel line from tank to IJ pump. make sure you have 24v to the rear center plug on the IJ pump, turn the key, touch the lead to the post and see if it clicks. no clicky, no worky....

    M1123 engine blocks chinese?

    US Engines is by far the worst company and product I have ever dealt with...period. As far as the M1123's, I wouldn't worry about if you have a GEP or GM motor, just drive it. Yes, the GEP is better, but if I were looking to buy a truck, the overall condition of the truck is more important than...
