    Long Cold Start Cranking

    In warm weather and if the truck's been running in the last couple hours it cranks and starts instantly. If the air temperature is below 40 degrees and you are starting it for the first time of the day, I have to crank it for at least 30 seconds, getting several "bumps" before it finally takes...

    SF97?

    Today marks 9 months since I paid for my M1123. Still no SF97. If I had a dollar for every time GP told me "just one more week", I'd have the truck paid off. Is anyone else having this kind of trouble getting the Paperwork?

    Power steering pump noise

    Just making sure this is normal...The power steering makes a hissing sound all the time, until the steering hits the limit stop, then it changes tone, but still rather loud. It's funny that, in such a loud vehicle, the power steering is loud enough to hear over the diesel.

    Softer Springs

    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...

    Deep Water Fording Kit

    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...

    Steering Wheel Center

    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...

    Paint Sources

    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?

    Glow Plugs

    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...

    Forum Searches

    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...

    What do you guys think?

    I finally got my 1123 after 6 months. The passenger seat is navy blue! In the pre-purchase pics the seat was off a bit, but was most definitely green. Iron Planet says the seats change color like that in the "weather". Has anyone else had a seat change colors? I removed it in the second...

    Air conditioner

    I finally got the 2008 1123 home. It came with the air conditioner condenser assembly loose in the back, and some kind of roof mounted evap and blower assembly just laying between the seats. I have to assume all this was once mounted to a hard top, but I cannot visualize how. Does anyone have...
