Sorry for the delay. Been really busy lately. I actually had 2 things going on with the system. Several of the o-rings on the high pressure hoses had hardened and just not sealing. I changed every one in the system. I also had a self inflicted leak on the main suction hose for the PS pump. I...
Super appreciated! This was the kind of info I was looking for. As stated in my first post, that was my next step in the troubleshooting process. I never considered a cracked flange connection. I was really thinking the O-rings. But I will go through each connection, one by one. It will...
Appreciate the response. I have pretty much drained and flushed the complete system several times already. I was initially thinking the same as you. Water in the system. But after each drain or bypassing the PS cooler & rear diff cooler, it would immediately look just the same. I'm not sure...
So you believe my PS pump is the issue? I put a brand new one on when it began acting up. I realize that new-old stock part can be bad. But I experienced the same symptoms even after the new pump was installed. Do you have any info on the bypass tube for the winch? PN? I searched the...
I'm hoping for a simple/cheap fix for it! Steering gear is the most expensive part of the system. But I tend to agree with you. After it sits for a while, after start up. The brakes work flawlessly. It isn't until it runs a while and gets up to temp that the PS pump whines something awful...
I am running DEX 3 in my rig. The fluid looks milky after running it for a bit. I first thought there was water intrusion in the system. But there is no place to cross contaminate the PS system that I am aware of. The PS cooler is a small unit that bolts onto the bottom of the radiator/oil...
Well I have been having some issues with my 1123 power steering system the last few months. It is an 03 with the remote reservoir, and mile marker hydraulic winch. It has always had the normal power steering low whine. No big deal, its a HMMWV. It began whining more, and I noticed the fluid...
I know this is a little older thread, but what did you ever find causing your aerated/foaming power steering fluid? I been fighting the same thing for the last couple months. I changed the PS pump and all the low pressure lines. No joy! Bled & re-bled several times. Still foaming the fluid...
I like the look and functionality of the Ibis Tek bumpers. I have to agree with your pricing on them. Around 3K is what I'm seeing them go for. I plan on fabbing up a copy of the Ibis Tek myself. I won't use aluminum like they built them out of. Maybe 1/8" mild steel. I estimate 3-400...
Wow! That is worth the drive for the view! Gorgeous country up there. What winch are you running? Hopefully not the hydraulic Mile Marker. They are getting hard to find.
10 rounds are plenty. I only have a couple of those high dollar mags. At $150 a piece. Barrett wants $1200 for their soft mounts. I fabbed that one up out of 3/8" plate. Might have $250 in the whole shooting match. Rock solid.
I have seen pictures of M2's pedestal mounted on the bed of an...
Agreed. But they excelled in that role. That is what makes these trucks unique. They can be an ambulance, gun truck, troop transport. Whatever the mission required. I ran M2's on a pedestal and Mark 19's on a turret in the sandbox. We never had all the uparmored stuff in my day. I...
Well I guess its a go. If Admin have issue, feel free to delete. Here is the Barrett mount and the small M2 pintle mount. These work awesome, and make it what they were designed to be GUN Trucks!
All,
I am wondering if posting the gun mounts and swing arms I fabricated for my 1123 is allowed on the forum? Maybe an Admin can respond? I spent many hours engineering and fabbing them up. It would be a shame to not share these gems! This is the only reference to posting these items on...
Sounds like that would work. Any input on the amount that would work in some 37's? I wouldn't think it would take much. Not like a tractor tire, where it is used for ballast. I fill those up completely.
One other note. The old GM thermal cameras only display in white hot, and the resolution is not very good. They originally used a heads up display from the factory. It shined the video feed on the Cadillac windshield in front of the driver. Pretty cutting edge back in 2005. There are much...
