I've never done business with them because of their deceptive wording on a lot of their products. Things such as "meets OEM specs" but is also "25% stronger than OEM", all while being way cheaper than OEM.
Some of it looks like it's straight out of the shipping container from China.

As long as the fan is kicking on at that temp and cooling it down about 10-20 degrees then kicking off, then you should be fine.
Above 230 degrees is when you need to start worrying, but 220 is fine.
Water boils at 212 at sea level.
Under 15psi pressure (standard radiator cap) the boiling...
Found the craigslist ad for the same stuff, and has some additional info in it

Here is the manufacturer troubleshooting guide for the 200 amp generator/regulator.

With any situation where the gauge in the truck is telling you something is wrong, it's usually a good idea to use some other measurement device to verify that the gauge is functioning properly before you start throwing money at replacement parts.

It all really depends on your end goal. Running to a third battery does allow you to run equipment with the engine off without worrying about draining your starting batteries, which is very important in some situations. In this situation running a second Orion converter to use as the charger...
Since you already have one Orion converter installed, you can always add a second one. Victron website says that you can run up to 5 of them in parallel for additional power output.
That will depend on the condition of your suspension. If you have any sag, then best stick with 37"
If your suspension is in great shape, then 39.5" is the max. Interco made several tires in that size specifically because that was the largest that would fit on an H1, which was the exact same...
The pro 50 is massive overkill unless you plan on running the batteries down regularly, and then need the truck soon afterwards. You're probably better off financially to buy a pair of 12V lithium jump boxes and a noco gen 5X2 or 5X10. You can hardwire them in and have each battery charged...
No reason why those would not work. I'm running group 24 AGM for almost 5 years now and no issues.
They will bolt down with the original hold down bracket as well with no modifications, but if you get antsy about it you can always cut some lumber to go around them so they can't shift.
Going...
The black smoke out the exhaust to me says unburned fuel.
First things I would check are to look at the air filter restriction gauge on the dash and see if it shows any restriction. Even if it doesn't, I would double check that the air filter isn't filthy dirty, and that the mushroom cap over...
I've managed to replace my serpentine belt several times by just leaning over the top of the truck and using body weight to push down on the belt where it goes under the top idler pulley on the driver's side, and just slip it off. It doesn't work on every truck, but I've done it on a couple and...
second picture is the vent for the fuel tank. It's supposed to look like that; it's just a standard type fuel filter to keep dust and dirt from getting into the system.
plus the difference between 12 and 24V, so those 195 and 125 amp alternators would be the equivalent of about 60 and 100 amp in 24v
The only real difference is the aircon on the HMMWV has electric fans for the condensers, where civilian vehicles typically have it as part of the cooling stack...
Starter motor not turning and the alternator are 2 different things entirely. The truck will start and run without any alternator in it at all, and has zero effect on how well it starts.
The 200 amp alternator is still massive overkill for the power requirements of these trucks. Your standard...
max speed 50 and high RPMs is in limp mode and not shifting at all (stuck in 2nd gear)
There is also a circuit breaker behind the battery box with a button that sticks out. Try pushing in button and seeing if that changes anything. Use meter to check and see if you have 12V both into and out...
All A2 trucks SHOULD have 12k halfshafts and whatnot.
The way they labeled the parts was confusing. The A2 trucks all have suspension rated for 10k lbs, but the halfshafts are labeled as 12k. Wheras the A0/A1 trucks are rated 7.7k, or a heavy variant (M1097 series) is rated 10k, but all had...
