    M1165 Won’t Accelerate, Feels Like It’s Slipping

    Engine revs up, makes RPM quickly. Fluid looks good, I'm going to drop the pan this weekend and see what's going on. Thanks, I'll start reading through that thread.

    M1165 Won’t Accelerate, Feels Like It’s Slipping

    Thanks. I'm going to check power first because someone told me that the TCU light should come on when the truck is in run but not on and turn off once running, I don't think the light was coming on at any point but I didn't really check before starting. If that is working I'll try a short trip...

    M1165 Won’t Accelerate, Feels Like It’s Slipping

    I did not, was on the street so I didn’t want to leave it locked, I don’t know how fragile these things are. Safe to test for a short distance?

    M1165 Won’t Accelerate, Feels Like It’s Slipping

    Took my M1165 for its first drive today, didn’t go well. I couldn’t get it past about 10 mph, if I gave it more gas it would feel like it was slipping, didn’t feel like it actually accelerated. Transmission didn’t try to shift or anything. Any ideas what could be going on and what I should check?

    Corbeau Sport Seat Fitment M1165A1

    Hey guys, One of my trucks came without any seats or seat mounting hardware so I need to source seat bases and new seats. I was looking at the Corbeau Sport Seats as they look like they would be the most comfortable seat available that would still fit decent and retain a somewhat minimalistic...

    Print it Forward

    You can run everything over a local network to cut out their cloud, if you didn’t update your printer you can also still use orca slicer. I’m not happy about the whole Bambi cloud thing but I have the admit, the printers are fantastic.

    Print it Forward

    Agree on the printers, amazing how capable and cheap printers are getting now. I started with an Ender 5, using Bambus now. They are about as plug and play as you can get and prints are literally perfect with almost zero tuning. I was going to build a 4x4 low rider or something similar to get...

    Print it Forward

    Which one do you have and how do you like it? I was going to build one at some point but I was considering getting something like that to play around with for now.

    HMMWV DIY Post and Print forum

    I was surprised to see how few 3d files there are for hmmwv's in general myself. I don't have any armored parts or anything particularly special I can take measurements from but I'd be happy to help out however possible. I also can do FDM printing, some metal fabrication and have good...

    Print it Forward

    Hey guys, Just an idea I had, I know not everyone here has a decent printer and some parts are hard to come by/expensive. I don't really have the time to design anything for anyone other than maybe something very simple but if you send me a file of what you need I'd be happy to help out with...

    Replacement Bolts and Fasteners

    I've noticed all of the fasteners on the body of my M1165 are quite corroded and many are missing. Are you guys all using regular steel bolts and hardware from the hardware store, stainless, or another option for replacements for missing/corroded fasteners? I was going to start replacing with...

    M1165 Fording Kit Removal

    Alright so I got new valves, unfortunately I ordered the wrong valve (the one for non-fording trucks). Since I already had them on hand I decided to install them and will just forget about the rest of the fording kit. I guess the next step is removing/capping all of the disconnected vent hoses I...
