I made a grounding harness when I got her, but I did run into some odd oil pressure reads a few weeks ago that was fixed by checking ground and some dialectic grease, so I’ll go do some cleaning of the gauge grounds, good call. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Also, good call on the...

So I got that backwards, when the thermostatic switch is unplugged it turns on, when it's shorted it turns off, I had that backwards - you are correct. I just took it for a little drive and the temp began to rise, then I pulled over and unplugged the Cadillac valve, and she was resting at the...

Right, and it does when disconnected, but when the truck is used normally, it does not come on, despite temperatures appearing to exceed 235 degrees per the famously inaccurate gauge. The question I have is how do I determine what needs to be replaced or adjusted without risking overheating my...

My M1123 has been giving me a few issues with the cooling system as of late and I'm having a hard time tracing the source. Pertinents- M1123- 6.5 GEP 506 - New TDM (April 2022) and Thermostatic switch (August 2022) from Midwest Military Equipment, Cadillac valve tests at 78 Ohms, Power Steering...

I’m running those Corbeau Moab’s as well (see pictures above). I’m a fan, they don’t offer amazing lateral support (not that the HMMWV really needs it) but are quite comfortable. However, after reading the above post about welding supports, I’ll say that one of the biggest benefits is the...

I figured I'd put this here, rather than starting a new thread- How much jumping/fluctuation do you guys experience with your cable driven speedometers? I see about a 1/16-1/8" wobble on my needle pretty consistently and am curious as to whether or not this is normal or something I need to...

I spent a couple days banging out the Tractor Supply 3/4" horse stall mats for the center tunnel. The detailed cuts took quite a while, but it looks pretty nice. There is a bit of intentional overlap in spots to try to direct rain that leaks through, I'm planning to test that out this...

Cool device, great acting in the video!

Took a few days of poking around and I found the source of the sound, turns out I was way off as far as location. The sound is coming from the brakes, there is an almost imperceptible amount of wobble in the carrier, but it makes a pronounced clunk when wobbled by hand. All the bolts are...

I've been chasing this sound for a few weeks now, it's a thunk/clunk sound coming from around the transfer case to the rear of the HMMWV. It happens when I'm making a 90 +/- degree turn , left or right, at neighborhood speeds, for example when pulling into my driveway. I've checked all the...

Cheap PX half tang tanto knife blade?

What year Armada 4x4? I’ve seen mixed messages on the year.

Have you hit the thermostat with a IR Thermometer to confirm temps on the gauge? From those symptoms, that would be my first guess.

Take pics of the process, if you would. I'm going to tackle this next week!

You’re approaching removal wrong- there is a nut on the underside. You need to free that if you want to remove it. You might get the head loose, but it’s just going to spin until the nut is removed from beneath the tub. The penetrating oil isn’t going to do anything from on top as it’s not...

Winch and Airlift bumper are the reason for the difference.

If those are like the ones on my HMMWV, hitting the nut on the underside got them freed up pretty easily.

If you’re not sticking to OEM parts, I rehabbed my HVAC setup in that spot on my M1123 (A2) with the original insulation, some HVAC grade foil duct tape and this- POWERTEC 70241 Heavy Duty 2-1/2-Inch x 10-Foot Flexible PVC Dust Collection Hose with 2 Key Hose Clamps, Clear Color...
