    Picked up an 09 M1123 and the power steering is wonky

    The physical case of the pump housing and reservoir is the same. The internals are different. One of the items different is the piston as they can be different pressure. Not sure on the valve. I know there is aftermarket valves to lower pressure for the hot rodders out there using rack and...

    Picked up an 09 M1123 and the power steering is wonky

    Since you have a thermal fan, someone has tinkered with it using civy parts. The Integral reservoir pump is a standard GM Saginaw design but the hmmwv uses a specific to it only higher pressure pump due to the hydraulic fan clutch not used on Gm, Hummer, or civy models and some trucks can be...

    Footwell Armor

    Typically all the armor stuff is removed at demil so very few leak out still installed. I believe the dealers can sell the stuff new so should be no legal problems as it is just metal so to speak. Some do try to build their own up armored versions so there is a market to sell. There are...

    Armor armored headlight IR lens replacement

    Yes, For the IR, they had the red lens filter. There is a clear lens some of tthe fixtures had but many were just the beam without the lens. Those sealed beams are available in the civy world as spot, flood, wide etc in 12v as they were common to work bodies and agriculture before Led changed...

Truck lite and grote buckets should be interchangeable for LED and...

    Shock absorber length

    I don't think shocks are the problem and probably help more than you realize. It is the stiffness of those uparmored springs to carry the weight that is giving you the nasty ride. I would recommend using the stock m998 springs and if worried about the 6.5 motor possibly being heavier than the...

    Transmission oil cooler valve?

    I believe that is the Transmission oil sample port. The military uses lab analysis on its oils to determine maintenance intervals. There is usually a tube /barb fitting to push a hose on that appears to be missing from the petcock fitting on yours.
