    Something rattling in my head

    Diesel engines inherently are easy to work on, i would say 10 times easier than gas engines as they don't have all electrical timing and so. Detroits are far easier and noisy, very noisy. Check your cold advance. When they start cold, it sounds like a coffee grinding machine or worse. Follow...

    Red Dot AC system on M1123

    Problem has been sold, the diagnostic electronic box was damaged. Bought a new one and is working flawlessly now. Bummer, the new red dot system y have in the office doesn't have the diagnostic box and no conector for it. It looks like the newer style is connected directly and probably not the...

    M1152 A/C compressor issue

    On my Red Dot system, i add the exact amount of refrigerant found on YouTube videos and now on the manual i found. Not familiar with your model, could be a expansion valve stuck? Or not opening/closing all the way? I remember not too long ago someone started a thread on 1151 or 1152 ac system...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Man, he is 9 years older than me and has always looked out for me. Most of what i have done and accomplished in life i owed to him. I am in this beautiful and amazing country, thanks to him. Is just a fraction what i am doing. So, he is not only a nice brother, he is amazing!!!

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Did a sacrilege here, but all for a good cause. A couple of months ago i bought a 1097A2 running but the hood was missing a chunk, after a long search for a M998 style hood to none available i decided to mount the M1114 hood and nose from my spare parts truck. This truck is a gift to my...

    Red Dot AC system on M1123

    This second one is for the M998 and M1038. Almost the same instructions but the freon amount is defferent.

    Red Dot AC system on M1123

    @Mogman, not sure if you want to keep these in the sticky. Thwre is no schematics but the instructions in how to install and the last page shows the amount of frein and oil to add. I went to the office to check since i bought a new red dot system as spare and it is a little bit different. The...

    Red Dot AC system on M1123

    Hey Mog, thanks for getting back to me. I have tried everything, power down, disconnect batteries, traced wire by wire and nothing. The only thing i noticed was the Positive wire feeding the unit from the batteries fried, not sure why the breker did not trip. The compressor does not seem to be...

    In regards to the water pump, if 6.2 is V belts and 6.5 is serpentine belt. The rotation is inverted. The most experienced can correct me if iam wrong.

    4L80E TCM Identification

    Great info, now i can change my transmission control with one of the spares. I have the 1123 but installed a turbo engine and never replaced the TCM. As is, it works ok but i have always felt it shifts kind of harsh. Also forth and torque converter are together.
