    Heater doesn't work

    2002 M1123 I changed out the heater core and blower a year ago since the previous one had a bad blower motor and I was doing the whole coolant system over at the time, I finally decided now to fix the heat on the truck so I can have proper defrosters but the problem is the heater doesn't work...

    2002 m1123 Brake Rotors

    Does anyone know if there's a napa number for the brake rotors? I'm considering changing them since Im doing the rears and already have one off. I also don't like how one of them look since I drove it a little with no pads left on one side

    Humvee Rear Brake Pads

    Anyone in here that changed the rear brake pads and not the rotors? I'm curious to know how hard is it and is any special tools required, I done the front last year but I had to take off the radiator to get the driver side done, I'm hoping the back pads don't be nearly as hard or tight like the...

    Custom hard doors on soft doors frame

    Just curious, has anyone ever built/fabricated a hard door on the soft door frame? I'm thinking about doing this so I can switch between soft and hard doors without worrying about the stryker, and to be honest, I'm not a fan of the x doors and starting to get a bit tired of them

    LA M35a2 Commercial Insurance

    2002 M1123 4L80E Strange Shifting

    For some odd reason my transmission is popping in and out of overdrive, it act as if it don't know what gear to go, the only way it won't do this is if I get up to 60Mph or really put my foot down. I've done a little research and see people say about some throttle control issue or the TCM, I'm...

    Mileage On Humvees

    Does anyone know if there's a particular way to find the actual mileage on the humvees? I'm assuming there's some sort of scan tool that be plugged into the 4l80e possibly? I'm just a bit curious to see how many mines have since I've been driving the truck a lot. My old Garmin GPS said I drove...

    FDC Bypass Hose Question

    I'm currently on the last part of bypassing the FDC which is routing the hose from the back of the filter to the hydrualic head but for some reason, I cannot for the life of me get the hose to seal up with the fitting, sleeve, and inserts. The question I have is do anyone know if there's a pre...

    Driveshaft bolt size

    Anyone has the exact size for the driveshaft bolts that connects the rear transfer case driveshaft to the rear axle? I'm hoping I can go to the store right quick and get them instead of ordering some, I lost the original when we removed them for a tow

    Batteries Blew Up & Caused A Fire

    I had a battery maintainer hooked up to keep the batteries charged up and this cause the batteries to blow up and start a huge fire, from the looks of it, it damaged the side of the storage building, melted a lot of the rear tire up, and the truck took some damage to the tarp and window. I'm...

    Barely Turn Right With MRAP wheels & Super Singles

    Title pretty much says it, I finally got my MRAP wheels and 395s on the M35, I love the tires and the ability to cruise 55mph easily but the radius on my right turn is very big. The tires rub on the pitman arm/drag link castle nut when trying to take any sort of hard right. I have the waterloo...

    M35a2 Bed Roll Cage Extenders

    I'm thinking about extending the height of the rails so I can walk freely in the bed without being crunched over. I would also like to put taller palletized items in the back without it being such a tight fit. The height of it from the floor to roll cage is 5ft, I would like to extend it to...

    Highway Cruising Speed

    Just curious on what you guys cruising speeds are in the humvee and in which model? My 2002 M1123 best cruising speed is 2,300 RPMs at 60Mph, I have the blocky radio communication top so it's a bit of a drag on it, but either way I feel the 6.5 is very comfortable at 2,300 RPMs and still have a...

    Not getting 24v at the batteries

    I finally almost finished hooking up my AC unit but ran into the issue of not getting 24V. I figured the one that I circled is where 24V is suppose to come from. My meter shows no volts at that terminal. The truck starts up and everything works properly, the batteries both charges at 14v

    AM General: Building for the Future Now - YouTube Just curious, what do you guys think about the Hybrid idea that AM General was showing as "Silent Mode" in the video?

    Lazy Man Weatherstripping

    I'm back with the M35 again, I'm thinking about sealing the heavy cracks I have in the windows and doors but I kind of want to go a different route than the OEM weather stripping. On the humvee I went with adhesive weather stripping on the doors and windows and shockingly it works very good. I'm...

    M1123 Low Power

    I'm having this strange issue where I'm barely having any power, especially at 45-55Mph. This happened a month ago and I thought it was my bad brake pads in front that was dragging, I changed them but Im still having the same issue. The strange thing is that everything was working properly until...

    Is there any MV trailer for the humvee that has 10 - 12 feet in length of cargo space? From what I seen, the original most used trailer for the humvee has a cargo space a little under 8ft in length, I would like to find something that's slightly longer
