Engine off. Sorry, I should have included that important info!

The cheapest and easiest (well kinda) thing to try first is to bleed the system. First check the level of fluid. Jack up the front end till the tires are off the ground. Engine off: Then turn the steering wheel from stop to stop (left to right), pausing a couple of seconds at each stop till...

There are many threads on here with what folks have done. The popular ones here are: The Military winches (hydraulic) Warn ($$$) Other 24V "aftermarket" ones I went with a 24V Sherpa. While the Sherpa did come with a rope, it only had a wire remote. I also hooked up a three way momentary...

Sorry, I don't see any picture in your thread... This is of little help to you as mine was a M998 with a 6.2 and there was no harness for a tach. So on the 6.2, there is a sensor on the very back of the engine with two wires coming out of it. The tack connects to these two wires as the data...

Definitely have +24V voltage at the solenoid lead while in the “run” position”.

Ring size is what I thought also, so yet another case where something went bad while working on another issue. ARGH! I'll test the starter switch... Thank you!

Ok, I screwed up (again).I should have taken pictures and I would not have these issues. I removed the starter and put it back, but now the starter seems to run when in the run position! It did not do this before I started, so I am fairly confident it is the wiring at the starter that I just...

I often wonder why I subject myself to abuse trying to fix things I don't have a lot of experience fixing? I have been struggling to fix the HMMWV AC system. After replacing every single AC component in the AC system, some multiple times, it would blow cold for about 5 minutes and then hot...

Made this up based on the responses in this and other threads. I'll come back and update periodically, so if you have updates, please reply to this thread with the status of your state. Maybe one of the Mods can make this a sticky? Updated: 5/02/2025 NV - Friendly Updated: 4/09/2025 OH - Hit...

One recommendation - stay far clear of the Chinesium carp. There is someone selling the complete kit over in the Classifieds. I was thinking of getting that to replace the Chinesium crap I have but every time I save up enough dough, something goes on the fritz and the $ goes poof!

You sir, have some real chutzpah! Wrench turners like me could take it apart, but never in a billion years, get it back together - let alone have it work properly!

Yeah! Finally, my luck is turning better! It is fixed! I used the advice in this: After a lot of experimentation, I put two of the thickest half, cut-off shims on the outside of the starter, and it started right up, no grinding, and was much, much quieter than before on the original starter...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have some personal matters that eating up quite a lot of time. I was able to borrow a battery load tester so I did not have to remove and shelp those heavy things around. I tired each battery separately, and both together. And multiple times each. Disconnected...
