    Picked up an 09 M1123 and the power steering is wonky

    It fixed itself after I put some miles on it. Must've had air in the system, Ive been keeping an eye on the fluid levels

    Picked up an 09 M1123 and the power steering is wonky

    Brakes are very firm and extremely sensitive just like all the HMMWVs I've ever driven on post. Steering has a pronounced pulse of easy/moderate force required to turn the steering wheel in both directions both stopped and at speed. I may just replace the pump for insurance since it's integral...

    Picked up an 09 M1123 and the power steering is wonky

    Okay I found the reservoir behind the pump under the generator, derp. Mighty nice of them to bury it in there with no protruding fill neck. The level was in range on the stick despite the operation of the power steering itself having all the tell tale signs of being low on fluid, I'll attempt to...

    This is how it came from the USMC out of Yermo. When I get off work I'll have to look again to see how the lines are routed specifically and I'll snag more pictures- I was kind of expecting to get told I was dumb it's right by xyz use the search function better.

    Picked up an 09 M1123 and the power steering is wonky

    Down to what I assume is the power steering pump that also powers the brakes. It's a pulley accessory directly under the alternator. I can see a high pressure line and a low pressure return coming from that device. The lines feed the steering box, that Cadillac valve and the brake master. I...

    Picked up an 09 M1123 and the power steering is wonky

    2009 M1123 6.5 NA 4L80E in very good running condition. No leaks, none. Zero The only problem I'm having with it is the power steering feels very much like it has air in the system/low on fluid- however the black lunar lander fluid reservoir typically near the fuel filter on the top of the...
