I’ve been replacing the electric heater valve for years with the old style heater valve found in every hmmwv before the ECV/REV, you can easily add the push/pull cable as well because the mfg never ceased installing the hole in the firewall for the cable to pass through.

Going cheap on the very items that stop your truck is not one I skimp on, also….for shop owners, it’s a liability thing. just did a full rev brake job yesterday, to include new calipers, the Wilwood have an issue with pistons locking up, an Issue I don’t see with the older ECV brake caliper

like everything sold by ComTac…they are Chinese or Greece mfg, OEM pads are either made by Wilwood or Carlisle brake and friction.

very common…see it all the time.

Have you verified the TPS is plugged in at the connectors at the engine to body harness? It’s over by the fuel filter.

its not uncommon for some squeaky brakes on these trucks, the OEM pads on a 52 are a very high metallic content, you have solid rotors if you are a Serial number under 300k. You need to check rotors and pads for wear and grooving, a pad slap won’t do much unless you go to a softer pad, which you...

GL with all that…going 12v’s is a PITA at best, you will need do a bit more than just an alternator and a starter.

32vdc on the IGN? You have a bad regulator 17vdc on the 14v Tap? Bad regulator AC is a signal….not voltage. what is the running battery voltage? I would venture to guess 32vdc, same as IGN…. bad regulator.

that’s not for a hmmwv…its for the Alpha fuel tank.

anything is possible….but the question is, is it financially feasible, ballistic glass isn’t cheap, especially cut to fit the frame.

the rollover vent? It’s used on all fuel tanks…the valve is vented to the intake stack…

The ibistek is no longer authorized and is replaced with the other non- egress windshield system Used in most trucks. in the military, if a single piece of glass is needed for ibistek? You have to order the new kit with armor and glass.

6286 is the correct replacement for the 4879

you cant Just use a different model pump and expect it to work correctly, the 4879 is for a 1990-1/2 and above 6.2L engine. being there are so many auction trucks that were reset, verify you have a 6.2 and not a 6.5, it’s not completely uncommon for the military to have installed the wrong pump.

if a gauge is maxed out, you have a wire disconnected, the voltage gauge only has 2 wires, 24v and ground, use a multimeter to determine your true alternator output.
