Any chance you have NSNs? I hadn’t thought of this, either.

RWH- that was my mentality as well. If the other components function, it’s just down to the mechanical switch to complete the circuit at the appropriate temperature. That said, I will still need to get the gauge sorted before I’ll trust driving this around. Otherwise it’ll be pinned at full...

Update for today - Seeing 160 on the gauge, I'm seeing 1400-1500 Ohms at the sensor. Simultaneously I’m seeing the temp on the thermostat housing of 130 degrees and the temp gauge sensor of 130 as well. The block itself is reading about 160, FWIW. Based on that, I’m thinking that, while the...

Thank you all for the assistance here. It is appreciated. The fan is not coming on from my driving, but I’m also not seeing thermostat housing temps above 190 degrees. This truck has seen very light duty thus far- driving to Home Depot, taking the kids to the pool and on hikes, etc.- the...

Do you think I’m safe to let it run until the thermostat housing is at 220 degrees or so? I’m guessing that it’ll read somewhat lower than the actual coolant, but don’t want to risk friction welding my pistons to the block just to confirm that the fan does actually engage properly.

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!
