With the warmer weather today, I took the M1097R1 out for a ride and today the temperature got well over 230 and the fan never kicked on.
I got out the TM and went through the steps. When I disconnect power from TDM, the fan kicks on, however, when I disconnect 458B from the thermostatic switch...
I have a strange new coolant leak that I noticed today. There is a puddle of coolant under the transmission area. I crawled under and looked and coolant is leaking from a rusty looking bolt/nut just above the oil filter.
I looked for a disconnected hose but nothing like that I can see. It just...
Does anyone know the diameter of the windshield retaining pins? These type pins can be bought for a fraction of the price of what the HMMWV ones are going for, so if anyone knows the diameter of them or any of the other specs, please share them. Mine are all too rusted to get out in one piece...
I have noticed a knock or bumping sound near the front driver's side when turning and accelerating. It only does it during a turn really. I've pulled and pushed on everything under the HMMWV and can't find anything moving or lose. Just wondering if anyone has run into something similar or if...
Does anyone have or know where to find the instructions for creating an access panel for the fuel sending unit. I would prefer to create this access versus dropping the tank.
I think the kits come with instructions but I can build my own access cover for a few dollars, so prefer not to spend...
Put about 35 miles on my M1097R1 today. Runs and drives good now. I’ve fixed a lot of small piddling issues on it now. It ran well from day one after putting new batteries in it, but it feels to me it idles a bit high? Is that common for them to idle high or should I try to adjust it?
How...
I have been trying to get the headlights to work properly on my M1097R1. I finally narrowed my problem down to a negative voltage on the driver side high beam. This doesn’t happen on the passenger side and both low beams give a positive voltage and both work properly.
As soon as I hit the high...
I have rebuilt my steering gear box, but still have a small problem. I have it completely reassembled with the exception of the end cap. No matter what I have tried, I cannot get the cap to push in far enough to give me room enough to get the retaining ring into the locking grooves. I suspect...
The only major mechanical problem I have found on my new M1097A1 is that the power steering was not working. I filled it up with fluid and it started working but was very noisy. I think the noise was mostly air in the system, as the steering was working rather well for a about a mile. After a...
I just purchased the above machine and need some help. I can't seem to find a TM Manual with this designation, can someone point me in the right direction please?
This is my second purchase. My first was an S&S M1078 LMTV, and I have enjoyed restoring, tinkering and driving it, so I now wanted...
Anyone know where I can find one of the screw on knobs for the vent or defroster pull knobs? Mine is missing for the vent.
I also need a knob for the dash dim/brighten switch.
If anyone knows where I could find these, that would be great.
While this is not my first post here, this is my first post on my new M1078. I purchased it off of a Govplanet auction a couple of weeks ago as a non-runner with a flat on the front driver side tire. I took a chance on it since it seemed to have little wear and tear on the interior controls and...
