My accelerator pedal has a lot of back and forth play and it's tough to get enough cable travel to trip the fan disconnect switch at full throttle (even with it adjusted all the way). It looks like there is a bushing in the housing where the accelerator arm pivots. Maybe it's working as...

I'm trying to understand the design of the electrical system on my m1123 and trouble shooting a battery balance issue. I have the 200a dual voltage generator. Everything seems to be working OK, but I have a pretty significant battery imbalance. It's not the batteries because I've swapped...

As I understand it, I should be able to temporariliy disengage the cooling fan for ~15 seconds by flooring the accelerator pedal. I think my cooling system is working properly otherwise, with the fan kicking on periodically and then disengaging after running for a minute or so. My assumption...

I am planning to swap all my cooling system hoses and do a coolant change. Is this hose shown below just a length of heater hose or is it a formed hose? It's the hose between the water pump and the thermostat housing. When I first looked at all the formed hosese I thought I needed, I thought...

I think I'm down to my last "missing" parts on my m1123. My truck has the jack storage compartment under the hood, but I'm missing the jack and whatever tools typically go with it. I found lots of scissor jacks available on ebay, most come in a kit. See pick below. Is this the kit I need...

I've fixed what was broken and I've changed most fluids/filters and maintenance stuff. I've installed new tires and rebuilt the rims with fresh o-rings and valve stems. My M1123 appears to have been sitting unused since a refurb in 2009, so there is some aging and sun damage but not wear from...

I did the spindle nuts on my front hubs earlier this week. It was really easy and the hub cover is easy to remove by just taking out the 4 bolts and rotating the cover out since the steering linkage can articulate. For the hubs on the rear wheels, I couldn't just move the cover aside since...

I've got a power steering pump that has a slow leak. I'm pretty sure it's leaking at the shaft. Power steering works fine, so I'd rather not do a new pump if possible. Is there a DIY process to put a new shaft seal in? It's one of the later style pumps on and m1123 where the reservoir is...

I've got an NOS bumper on the way, it seems they are widely available for pretty cheap. I'm struggling to find the mounting brackets for a reasonable price. I'm just looking for the basic brackets, not the reinforcement stuff for towing. Seco has a kit for $425 ($545 with the hardware) which...

I'm putting new tires on my m1123 that I recently got from auction. I wanted original hmmwv rims and decided to swap to 24 bolt wheels as long as I was messing with it. I also decided to go with the original runflats, so I had to figure out how to deal with those. I know some folks do without...

The folks at gov planet were nice enough to leave the main battery hold down bracket, but ditched all the hold down hardware. It looks like it probably takes a couple J hooks on the drivers side and I'm not sure what is needed on the passenger side (holes in compartment, but too high for j...

I am going through my recently recieved m1123. Doing normal fluids, filters, etc. This truck was refreshed in 2009 and it doesn't appear to have any use since then (32 miles on odometer). I got it from yermo, but I'd be surprised if it sat in the desert all that time. The seats and...

I've cleaning out the dirt/dust from the 1123 I recently received from auction. After folding the windshield down, I found foil tape over most of the defrost sections. I now know why I was getting very little airflow from there. Any idea why this would have been done? Mine was a 2009 refresh...

I’ve got an asymmetric bendpak 2 post lift in my garage and I’m wondering the best way to lift a hmmwv. The frame rails are so far inbound that the arms don’t really reach. It seems that everything else is mostly aluminum body structure and not a suitable lift point. Any lifting guidelines?

I need to order a CDR valve and hoses for my 1123 to fix the damage done by GovPLanet. The deep water version is only $5 more, so I figured I go with it. I have not decided if I"m going to fix/replace the DWF system that was removed by GP, but I would like to have the option later if I...

I just took delivery of a truck that has been sitting in Yermo for a while. It's full of that gritty dirt/dust, every nook and cranny. I was thinking I'd pull all floor/tunnel insulation, start with compressed air, then a hose, then a pressure washer. The pressure washer is my big question...

I've been waiting on my EUC since september, but finally have my M1123 home today. The condition exceeded expectations so far. 32 miles on the odometer and I'm thinking that's correct, there is no wear on anyting (other then age/sun deterioration. This is my first time even driving a HMMWV...

I just got my EUC released yesterday and the truck is on it's way. I need to fill out the SF97 request form and that includes putting in a model year for the truck. It's an M1123 wtih original serial number 192892. It went through IROAN refurb in 2009 and you can see the data plate below...

I am looking for transport from the GovPlanet location in Yermo to Central TX (near Austin). EUC released today and need to coordinate pickup. Thanks.

EUC finally cleared on the m1123 that I won back in September. Looks like the TSC folks really getting caught up, it's only been 5 months! It's in Yermo and I'm in central TX near Austin. Any recommendations for shippers? I got a bid from Veritread when I bought it for $1900, which seems...
