It does look nice. The engine compartment sure looks military. The body looks like it was mostly converted. What year is it?

From my limited experience- if you are not building a high performance vehicle, which is hard to do with a low HP 6.2, most any name brand is perfectly fine. You probably would be best to stay with stock type replacements. If you have not taken yours apart yet to see what is actually worn and...

I once unintentionally induced a slight run away condition- I was cleaning something in the engine bay with carb cleaner and the engine was running. The fumes in the general area were enough for the engine rpms to pick up. It was very minor but I was not expecting it. If you have a fuel...

I was researching this several days ago. Look for '1006307 HP-2C-18 UST.pdf' on the Drash web site. This manual covers the 18KW units but it should be the same as the 20KW ones. These are 12 wire gens- therefor you 'should' be able to convert to a 120/240 config. There is a diagram on page...

CFP240 Are you sure? I thought that Gen 2 is standard 194 bulb and gen 1 is standard 168 bulb? The generators only put out 12v, not 24.

I was going to lube my cable- but I bought a new one for only $18 from one of the vendors. The effort to take it apart to clean vs buying a new one made my decision easy.

You can't adjust the regulator, only replace. Check the voltage while the engine is running across the + and - battery terminals and not from the +24v to ground. This test does not check for bad diodes, but is still useful. Check the voltages at idle and when the light is on and report back the...

If I was rolling in Money I would recommend that you also just go ahead and replace the injector pump while you are at it. Sadly most of us are not rolling in money. It only takes 5 minutes to test the plugs.

You need to verify that the glow plugs are good before you do anything else.If you have a bad plug using the original configuration with the resister you are over power the remaining plugs- this may be why you said it started easier before. But, this condition will cause the remaining plugs to...

Sounds like low voltage or a bad ground on the circuit that activates the relay. What is the voltage on relay when it is chattering?

Since I have not read any of your other threads, I would start at the beginning. It seems that you changed out the entire fuel system. Have you properly primed your fuel filter- and you see the fuel coming out of the vent when you loosen it? When primiming the system you don't have to remove...

Overcharging the battery will ruin it. I suspect that the regulator or rectifier inside the alternator has failed. The only way to know for sure is to start testing. The use of the heater should not make any difference to Gen2 as it is on the Gen1 circuit. Maybe a bad ground or loose connection...

It probably was deployed to an area that had JP8 as their primary fuel. Diesel is a grade better than JP8 - it will run on diesel just fine.

You need to disconnect the "isolated" ground wire from the terminal, and the rest of the wires to be safe, and verify that there is no continuity from the post to the case on the alternator. Testing with the wire on may not give the correct results.

dp you have any shifting problems?

Just tell them to look up the rear main for a 1984 Diesel K5 Blazer. It is a two piece seal. Felpro BS40529 should work for you.

Since you are hearing a loud "clunk" it seems to me that you don't have an issue due to your fuel pump wiring, at least not yet. I wonder if your new batteries are not fully charged. You could try boosting one of the batteries with your car and jumper cables to see if it will turn over.

There is a document that contains many of the current generator specs, including the engines used: search for this, it has been posted here on SS previously somewhere MIL-HDBK-633A.pdf

I am curius why you would want to sync such a small generator to another bus. If you are just trying to do peak shaving for some reason I don't think it would be economical until you get into very large sets- and none of the smaller military ones can do this without a lot of re-engineering. If...

Try loosening the fuel cap- may not be venting somewhere?
