    My New Humvee tachometer installed

    Transducer I'd gladly take one off your hands. What's your price?

    My New Humvee tachometer installed

    Looks great - I've been waffling on where to put mine. However, I can't get mine to work. Wiring is done properly, but no signal. The 2 wires from the yellow transducer feed the signal - does the order matter? I remember reading that either wire can be connected to either of the signal...

    HMMWV Grounding Kit Install

    I'm a DIY'er to a fault, so this was a rewarding project. Electrically speaking, the more wires in the cable, the better, which means it will feel heavy and very flexible, similar to a jumper cable. I picked up a length of 6-3 electrical cable 6' long, then stripped the shielding to yield all...

    Hmmwv 6.5l purchased, turns out to be a 6.2l

    At this point, as far as interaction with GP goes, performance has NOTHING to do with it. It was advertised as a 6.5, but wasn't. Opinions on performance, while valid on this thread, are irrelevant to resolution of the GP error. Choices are (1) return for a refund, but expect to not get every...

    No Current to Injection Pump

    Final note: Gunny (yeah, I named him) started right up this morning. Fan clutch working as it should after replacing it. WTS light was on for literally only half a second and the engine started after 8-10 seconds of cranking. After sitting a few weeks, I suspect fuel was dropping down and...

    Will an old fashioned GM speed driven fan clutch fit the HMMWV?

    Trying to picture this... You have a pic to share?

    Hmmwv hydraulic fan delete, addition electric fan

    Thanks for the pic. Can you provide application info, i.e., year/make/model? There are a few possible clutch/fan combinations that would fit, and most turn the wrong way! Appreciate any details you can give.

    No Current to Injection Pump

    Fuel lines haven't been changed or damaged. Fuel filter is due for a change. I suspect lost prime in the IP - how do I know for sure? And how do I regain it? Does that happen after sitting for a few weeks?

    No Current to Injection Pump

    Agree with everything you said, Kurt. I see so many folks that are advised to replace the EESS under specific indicators of failure, and I'm not experiencing any of them. The WTS light hasn't changed in the 2 yrs I've been driving it; the GPs are dead, but I'm well above the target temp...

    No Current to Injection Pump

    I agree, it should be. So why won't it start? I'm in the process of making a grounding harness, mostly because it'll make me feel more comfortable, jut not sure if it's a contributing factor. I know this sounds stupid, but aside from controlling current to the GPs and housing the solenoid...

    No Current to Injection Pump

    Yes, found the IP power issue (operator error), but won't start now. I'm finding dead GPs, so starting there.

    No Current to Injection Pump

    Thanks for the tip. Fortunately, i found the problem. When I reinstalled the alternator, I might have missed the ground cable... Funny how I now have power. And fuel. Focusing on the EESS box now. No visible damage, but no way to test it without the STE/ICE, unless someone knows a way. GPs...

    No Current to Injection Pump

    Good news, I now have power to the IP. Don't ask. Now it just won't start. Aren't there resistance tests I can do on the box? I opened it up and there is no sign of obvious burnt components, so I'm hoping it's still good.

    No Current to Injection Pump

    Feeling pretty stupid today, but I'll swallow my pride and beg for help! Enlisted a friend's help to jump my M998A0, and he got the cables switched for a short time. No telling what damage was done, but I know for sure I am not getting power to the IP. Glow plug light cycles, starter works...

    M998 A0 Fan Clutch Reassembly

    Performing a minor rebuild of my fan clutch with new seals, friction lining, etc. Wondering how the needle bearings are lubricated and what, if any, petroleum products should be used when I put it back together. Any suggestions? Thx, Jon

    Hmmwv hydraulic fan delete, addition electric fan

    I added the flex-a-lite dual pusher, but only as a supplemental fan for Texas summers. The OEM fan pulls 10k cfm - there is no electric fan that even comes close to what you need. The article you read never explained they added the pusher IN ADDITION to the OEM fan. I suggest upgrading to a...

    Fan Clutch Seals, Friction Lining

    Ok, my apologies if this is a completely repetitive ask, as I see tons of Fan Clutch posts and don't really want to sift through the mountain of info to get the nugget I'm looking for. Looking for an affordable source for friction lining, seals and O-rings to rebuild my fan clutch. Best I've...

    Issues with SF-97

    For those that still run into a similar issue with other surplus MVs, keep in mind that states (like mine, Texas) don't give a hoot about SF97s or other restrictions - they care about collecting taxes. I do realize this is a general statement, but it has been proven out in a few states that I...

    After market seats or alternate seats for HMMWV / m998 ?

    Ok, finally got a few pics for the benefit of the brotherhood of vertically gifted. I'm 6'6" tall and the changes I made give me that "just right" amount of leg room. While not really that much to look at, it's effective. I removed the original seat, leaving only the base level frame. Added...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The 4L80e rocks. I use a Quick 4 (Baumann) controller, works very well.
