    Truck bought for parts, got it running, but…

    It’s on the passenger side near the transmission, same spot as the other number just on the passenger side

    Truck bought for parts, got it running, but…

    My melton has the same number and on the date code side it has "H100". Rather than being stamped on the block it looks like they are tags that were attached: =213031&hash=d05c64c6628a66570f141dd53522cdd1']Attach files

    What’s on the back of this patch?

    I was assessing the damage under this patch to see why it was there and maybe repair it. What is on the backside here?

    Fuel Injection Pump Slow Drip -- Anything to Try Before Removing the Pump?

    I ordered these same parts from finditparts ebay store last summer and had no issues with them. Mine was rusted just the same, maybe worse. Ended up getting a new rebuilt pump because the old one turned out to be unsalvageable.

    Fuel Injection Pump Slow Drip -- Anything to Try Before Removing the Pump?

    That seems to be pretty common, mine was rusted in the same spot after sitting in Georgia with water in the engine valley for who knows how long. Afraid you’re in for a pump rebuild.

    Geared hub drain plug removal advice

    Success with the Ridgid set. I think the vertical splines are the key to this set, it grabs really well. It also helps that it doesn't break off when extracting. I did try some Hanson multi spline extractors first but they didn't grab deep enough and ended up just widening the hole in the...

    Geared hub drain plug removal advice

    I don’t have a welder so I ordered a better extractor set that was recommended in an older thread: https://www.amazon.com/RIDGID-35585-Extractor-4-inch-2-inch/dp/B000WQYJIG/ If that doesnt work I’ll get someone to weld a nut on there for me. Thanks everyone.

    Geared hub drain plug removal advice

    So this morning I planned on draining my geared hubs and inspecting the locking spindle nuts. Got to the first one and the plug was already a little rounded off inside so I knew I was in for a good time. I got the torch out and heated up the plug, gave it a few taps with the hammer then tried...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    First I went at it with a dremel and a 3m disc to get as much rust off as I could, then I applied naval jelly and wire brushed it by hand. It looked pretty good after that. I used Rustoleum Engine Enamel for the paint.

    Restoring Deep Water Fording Kit

    That’s how mine was when I picked it up. I changed it to match the manual and now I wonder if I should put it back.

    Restoring Deep Water Fording Kit

    I'm in the process of restoring the DWF kit on my m1123. Most of it was left in place during demil, only the cdr valve and selector valve were removed, the lines were left in place but cut. My problem is what I'm reading in the DWF instructions doesn't seem to match up with the lines/hoses...

    DWF exhaust pipe question

    i haven’t tried to put mine on yet but I suspect that’s the situation I’m in. Will it not fit without the armor? I have an m1123 with the armor removed and the dwf pipe was sitting in the bed when I picked it up.
