    Not another blinking question

    i will check the connector. So the problem was the LED bulb in the stalk that came with the truck would very faintly flask once and then nothing. Could not see the flash with the cover on. But all the lights worked as they should (and the horn). Also, with the bulb out of the stalk things...

    Not another blinking question

    Well maybe. I have the blinking problem, can't get the turn signal lights and light in the turn signal switch to all blink when they should if the parking lights are on. But that's another post.

    hood markings

    it is a USMC truck. I have seen pictures of the UIC and this truck does not have them. It appears to have been painted at some point. Maybe they were covered up

    Map of States That Are or Are Not HMMWV Friendly

    I will get more pictures. What is the purpose of the tag on the bottom of the gage package with the truck serial number? Do all your trucks have this? Thanks HMMWV DAD

    hood markings

    Hello there are some faded markings on the outside hood of my new HMMWV. One appears to be the letter "S". The other are some words. Could someone tell me about their meaning. I have seen these markings before on other HMMWVs Thanks HMMWV DAD

    Attributes of a lower mileage HMMWV

    I'm looking for insights on where to look to get an idea about high versus low mileage on my M1123. I know that parts are changed out frequently by the military. The story (they all have a story but they won't talk!) was a quiet life in Yuma with little use. Why would a low mileage truck be...

    Another New member

    Hello steel soldiers Long time watcher but new member. Always have been interested in MVs, I'm a retired engineer and appreciated their design for a purpose. I finally purchased a 2003 HMMWV M1123. I had several close calls in my younger days (like when there were paper surplus listings)...

    Normal idle temperature

    I'm a new owner of a M1123 with the 6.5 engine. What is a normal temperature reading on the temperature gauge for a truck that is just idling? Thanks I have watched this forum for a long time and are impressed with the knowledge and willingness to help others. HMMWV DAD
