I've seen some M1114's lately on GP missing the roof, doors, b/c pillars, etc. I believe most/all of these were originally probably slantbacks. Are there any challenges with putting a 4 man soft top and soft doors on these trucks? In addition to a b-pillar and maybe the windshield channel that...

I suspect idle rpm is just fine. My m1165 tach shows the same idle speed. I checked it with a laser tach and it was spot on. More info on it and most likely cause in this thread: https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/tachometer-inaccurate.205431/#post-2392463 Nice looking truck, congrats.

Update on progress... Two new brake switches ordered and installed. My M1165 is now working exactly as it should. For the M1123, I can't find a "sweet spot" in the adjustment range where both sides of the switch actuate when needed. I can either get the brake lights to work, or the...

10-4, thanks!

Thanks for the replies! The tach reads 0 with the engine off, so it isn't an offset problem. The rpm error is proportional to engine speed and I do have a 400a alternator with a fixed pulley, so that explanation makes perfect sense. I also have an M1123 with a 200a alternator and an...

I have a 2006 M1165, 6.5 turbo, 60mph speedo and a tachometer. My problem is that the tach rpm reading is wrong. The tach shows idle at 950rpm, but my handheld rpm meter shows 700rpm. And with the engine speed set and showing as 2000rpm on the tach, my handheld meter is reading 1500rpm. I...

I'll revive a year old thread because I'm fighting this on both my M1123 and M1165 at the moment... When troubleshooting these switches, I've found that leaving the switch installed, disconnecting the linkage rod and and actuating the switch by hand while testing w/ a multimeter can lead to...

This might go without saying, but make sure you check for any sort wobble in any of the pulleys while it's running. Even the smallest amount of wobble can lead to belt chirping...

For the 2 HMMWVs I've bought: EUC filed: 3/3/21 EUC approved: 5/13/21 EUC filed: 6/24/21 EUC approved: 9/14/21 Both trucks out of Albany, GA.

I appreciate the info. I did some searching and found pictures of the cradle mount you mentioned. Definitely looks like something I can work with, now if I can just find one... :) Thanks!

Has anyone installed a jumpseat in an ECV with the new style AC (vent box between the rear seats). I have an M1165 coming next week and my first order of business is figuring out a way to add a 5th seat. My initial thought is to build a frame over the AC box and keep the seat as low as...

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, no dice. I verified all the light bucket wire numbers (front and rear) are plugged into the correct corresponding wire numbers on the vehicle harness. I also unplugged the hood harness from the main harness to rule out the issue being in that connection...

Hi guys. Brake/running light electrical gremlin issue for y'all to ponder on a 2004 M1123... With my light switch in STOP LIGHT position, I have no marker lights, brake lights, tail lights, turn signals or flashers. With my light switch in SER DRIVE position, all the lights turn on - marker...

Thanks for the replies and guidance, guys!

Hi Folks, quick question... What is everyone running for trans fluid in the your 4 speeds? TM obviously calls for Dex3, but Dex6 is supposed to be backwards compatible and an acceptable replacement for (and improvement over) Dex3. Anyone have experience with the Dex6, or should I stick with...

I'm interested in one. Let us know what they say. Thanks!
