I think that most of the M1123s had some form of shelter in the back of them, which is why they're lacking a lot of common parts. The Red dot would have been mounted onto the shelter body or an armor panel that's since been removed. As well, that windshield glass probably was armored glass...

Price is just a little bit high here, but they would be the right part for sure: http://www.hummerpartsguy.com/GLOW-PLUG-24V-SET-OF-8-HMMWV_p_14724.html Just make sure that you're buying a 24V plug, NOT a 12V plug. Amazon, eBay, Kascar, Erick's Military Surplus, Adventure 4x4, NAPA, and most...

Wipe everything clean, go take it for another spin, and see what's the highest point that now has Dexron on it.

They're probably swollen. This tool, or another similar to it, should take care of you: https://www.real4wd.com/zedSuite/catalog/partdetail.aspx?PartNo=GPRT

I just have to say...I really like this discussion being here. It's not talking about how to get around the law (as the worry usually would be), it's about why things are the way they are and some little tidbits about what we can do about it to try and clear the way for the future...

Difference in contract. The vast majority of the HMMWVs on GP are through the DLA service and there's a requirement from them to list all the HMMWVs as not road worthy. The M1123s are all from the USMC directly-not through the DLA service-and they made no such requirement. That's really all...

Heh, finally my turn! My truck was jammed full of goodies. Being sold as a non-runner with no transmission, transfer case, propeller shafts, doors, or inner doghouse cover shown, I was very pleased to find both doors (bad windows), the doghouse cover fully in-tact, a new-looking AMG 242 T/C in...

Found my Grill Guard parts. I'll copy & paste my writeup here: One of their engineers got back to me. I was wrong about needing bolts, nuts, and washers... It uses four straight retaining pins, 0.5 x 3.00". For the sake of not losing them, get a small cable to attach them together. These...

Have you put together any special brackets or straps for some of your usual gear, or do you just throw it all in the back? I'm fishing for some ideas on potential uses of mine...

Or to sway the topic a bit for my own purposes: My truck has one on it, too. Anyone have any good uses for one? Mine's on the A pillar instead of the hood.

Going back to topic....While it may not be the best truck for the job, what do you guys think of the HMMWV's potential to be an off-road recovery vehicle to aid other vehicles?

Alright, more work done. Pulled off the old exhaust completely and dragged it inside so that I can remove the broken muffler flange and replace it with the new muffler that conveniently came with the truck from the comfort of my basement. Pushed the truck back into its nest for the next couple...

Got my HMMWV finally delivered to me yesterday. There were lots of surprises inside the bed (shiny new muffler, new AMG 242 in plastic, once missing drive shafts, two doors, antennas, ESS shades, a Luverne brush guard, and more...). Removed the strap holding up the old muffler and put the...

That right there is top-notch info new guys like me need. That absolutely makes sense. I'll try putting a jack on a good point under the rear of the engine and putting just a little bit of pressure on it to see if it tips happily into place. Shouldn't take but ten minutes.

Thanks for the translation. A lot of that lines up with what I was starting to find. What kind of confidence do you have about UTRANS being anything to do with wireless networking? I saw a lot of google hits for "UTRANs" being something with wireless networking companies, but no references to...

Great point. So that makes it extra important for me to find the hardware specs so I can source them individually. :|

My new HMMWV has a Luverne guard and the proper mounting brackets installed as well; however, I haven't managed to scavenge up the bolts, nuts, keeper pins, or rubber bumpers for it in all the scattered parts I have. Does anybody know the specs of the bolts and pins or a good source of a cheap...

Finally! I was approved for pickup yesterday, inspected it this morning, and the tow truck driver relocated it across town to my driveway for me a couple hours later. I've found that there's a few more issues with the engine than expected, but I'm going to start trying to sort it out this...

Well, probably the best use under these terms is stripping them for parts to use for street-legal HMMWVs (late 90s auction; current M1123s) and Hummer H1s. I've seen some pictures and videos of people that have trailered their HMMWVs to off road parks to go have fun with. Lastly, lots of farm...

I think this is what you're looking for [page 2, talks about how to properly bleed the filter]: http://psmag.radionerds.com/images/1/1f/PS_Magazine_Issue_596_July_2002.pdf I had to go to the PS Mag DoD website, bring up the index (first 1990-1999, then the 2000+ index) and ran a search in it...
