Not sure this adds any actual value to the thread, but this was one of mine halfway through the process. You can see the washers and standard nuts at this point, along with the tire soap on the edge of the tire, and the green slime bottle upper right. I was just about to air up the tire and...

Where the electrical wire hooks to the glow plug. Pick one.. you want to have a meter ready to check the voltage on it when you first hook up the battery, when you first put it to run (wait to start) and after it starts.. It should be 0V (disconnected?) when the vehicle is off. Should be 20+V...

Straighten them out by hand (gently). You might want to set them in the sun for a few minutes... Then use some 'green slime' (tire fix-a-flat).. put a SMALL amount in the grove, set the o-ring into the grove.. if it isn't holding, add a SMALL amount on top.. between the o-ring, the grove and...

I recommend the tool from Leroy Diesel.. looks like it's now about $65.. But with the counterfit plugs on mine, I ended up having to get the OTC one. Bought from amazon - "OTC 6005A Glow Plug Remover Tool Set".

If you do go down the path of glow plug replacement. Remember only buy from trusted sources, stay away from the ebay glow plugs. If the glow plug head is metric it is COUNTERFIT and will FAIL quickly! 3/8" hex, it's probably authentic. You may also want to look at one of the detroit deisel...

I've come to the point where I just have a container of the packard connectors. As I do things on the HMMWV. If those old connector is damaged in ANY WAY, I remove the old one and install a new one. The amount of cracked or broken boots.. or connectors missing the little ring on my rig was...

When I did my brakes, I took them off the lines and did them on a bench.. (of course silicon brake fluid all over from them being compressed) and needing to definitely bleed them back out... But doing it on the truck was nearly impossible with the hard lines on my M998. I used the one that...

Just an FYI, the inner seal, based on https://www.wbparts.com/rfq/5330-01-412-4447.html is an SKF 22532. I was having issues finding them Timken seal mentioned earlier in the post, but the SKF seal was readily available on RockAuto and a few other places online. (RockAuto was the cheapest, $25...

I repainted my HMMWV with Rapco rattle cans.. came out great, and easy to touch up. I plan to do the same with the M1101, however rapco's website seems to be horrible broken right now. It took about 14 or so cans (of various colors) to do the HMMWV outside and cargo bed.

Stock 200 AMP Generator uses the outer 3 V-Belts. If I was going to share a belt, it would be the 1st power steering belt (if possible). You really want to drive the generator with 3 full belts. As for routing, the outer 3 belts are all water pump, hydraulic pump and generator. I'd be...

I source most of my replacement parts from MacMotors or KASCAR (real4wd). I've not bought replacement lines though. A few of the 'bulk' parts, I was able to search the part info from the service manual and find the original hoses in bulk and buy them that way. (Usually Amazon, Rock Auto or...

I just stumbled on this, https://www.psmagazine.army.mil/News/Article/3056573/hmmwv-new-winter-tire-assembly/ , says that military has now approved the KO2 tires. But I don't see any in the standard 37x12.50R16.5LT size. The article sounds like it's sent as an assembly, which makes me wonder...

I did the rear brakes on my M998, and it was only a single tool to reset the calipers. I bought the kit: https://modmafia.com/product/brake-pad-replacement-tool-set/ (The T-bar snap-on wrench in the kit is well worth the money! Almost impossible to get another type of tool to the bolts...

Originally found on govtribe.com, this replaces the previous 1995 version of TM 9-2330-392-14&P.

Thanks, i didn't even know there was a TM Upload section. Unfortunately I tried to upload it, and it said the file was too large for the server to process. The TM is 44.6MB. Any suggestions?

I found a newer copy of the TM 9-2330-392-13 & 14 then what is currently available in the TM section. Date is 07-Dec-2012. It is labeled as "DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A - Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited." Assuming admins/moderators want me to, I can attach it to this post...

Don't know anything about the Atlanta area. But I found a diesel mechanic that knew Detroit Diesel and more commerical vehicles. Talked with them and got it scheduled that way. You may need to call around to find someone willing to work on a military vehicle, as well as mechanically injected...

I'm new to heavy trailers, and military trailers. I recently got an M1101, and I'm slowly trying to understand all of the safety features and make sure everything is working as expected. It's a 2010 Silver Eagle M1101. How difficult should it be to pull the breakaway brake cable and activate...

I found some recent photos from a GovPlanet auction that seems to have everything I'll need to paint my trailer properly. Does anyone have any idea how many of the Rapco cans this may take? (Black/Green/Brown), otherwise I'll gave to take a guess based on the HMMWV's needs. (This SHOULD be less.)

I've got the TB-43-0209 with a date of 31 Oct 1990. I've used it to layout the paint for my M998. I recently got an M1101 trailer, but I don't see that in the document. Is there an existing tailer in the document I should use as a reference, or is there an M1101 specific camo pattern...
