I have gone through everything I could think of. Mounts, brackets, etc and I have not found anything out of place or loose. when I get under the truck while it's running you can practically pinpoint where it's coming from. It resonates from the side of the block and when the truck is cold it is...
Although the timing mark is off I doubt that's my primary issue.
A while back I checked the cold advance for continuity and I thought I had something. I couldn't find any of my multimeters so I did not test continuity or voltage. One of my AM General Manuals says to turn to run position...
I was thinking the smoke on start up was a normal thing. I then started thinking maybe some kind of injection pump timing issue. Because I sometimes experience kinda like a blueish smoke while the engine is cold and I'm accelerating down the road for approx 20 seconds. If I smash the accelerator...
I have a feeling I know which cylinder it is. Tried the disconnect injector trick but not for long and kinda hard to hear when the engine is sputtering. Every time I try to record a video of it, its hard to hear over the motor running. But caught this video where you can hear the clatter at...
Posted on Facebook and the comments I got were "normal", "possible injection pump", "run 2 stroke oil in fuel", and "use ATF in the fuel". Wondering what steel soldiers think.
A while back I made a post about a smoking exhaust. I ended up doing all the glow plugs, all injectors, and fuel...
Took a drive and watched the thermostat gauge. It got to 220, stayed there for a bit then rose up to around 235 and the fan finally kicked on for about 20-30 seconds bringing temps back down to 220ish and then kicked back down. Happened again for about a minute this time. So I assume I'm good? I...
Tested ohm at each plug. Chinese glow plugs are 3.6ohm originals are 2.2. New Wellman plugs come Tuesday. Have not been able to test if 24v is going to all plugs. Changed oil, Ran Diesel Kleen, and a whole tank of diesel. Starts right up in the morning. Still, get a cloud of white smoke and...
Hey again Coug! We had this conversation about a month ago. I'm actually in Olympia. On the North East side.
I will definitely check glow plug ohm test. It has been on my to do list.
Picked up from Auction. So yes definitely no way to tell. I am leaning towards this being a brand new engine...
Hey all I just picked up my HMMWV and it acts kinda strange. On cold starts, (65-70f degree weather) I get a lot of white smoke and runs a little rough. After a couple minutes, the white smoke dies down but a misfire sound can be heard here and there but once it hits the operating temp the white...
Thanks! I love projects. So this is definitely a big one. My family says I'm cheap. So that probably paints a good picture. Ever since I was a kid I've wanted a HMMWV so I'm pretty excited but worried for what is about to be a tremendously expensive project.
From Yermo? It sure is!
Oh man I wish I knew about that beforehand. Already paid for the transportation to WA. Oh well.. I'll keep that in mind next time.
You're in Olympia? Then you'll definitely see me around. Haha, that's a good idea. Might end up just going 24 group Walmart AGM that has 710 CCA. Funds are now low so gonna stretch the dollar as much as I can.
Looked into Feltz Tire and I was completely blown away. Hardley used tires for...
Hey all!
Just won a M1123 at auction. I'm super excited, It's a little rough around the edges but runs and supposedly drives. I just have a couple of questions... or maybe a few. For background, I'm Active Duty and I'm a mechanic as a hobby. So you can say the HMMWV platform is not new to me...
