That depends entirely on the design of the hood. If designed right there shouldn't be an issue, but often times that involves a lot of trial and error. Typically the gens I work with don't use a single point exhaust but use a long tube with lots of 1/8" or so holes in them for the length of it...

The pinball receiver would not work with my hitch, as my crossbar is one of the newer thicker ones a 2 1/4" thick, so the pintle is too short to add another 1/2" piece of metal in there ( With the safety chain eyelets, the pintle will handle 2 1/2" of mount, with the pinball I'd be at 2 3/4...

Looks okay to me. Coming from the RV and home standby world, there is enough air moving past the fan and out of the unit that you probably could have had the exhaust dump straight into the warm airflow out of the hood without any issues, thus removing the need to keep a flapper on the exhaust at...

you would know better than me. So is there any type of legal issue with using seats in a vehicle that aren't designed for it, or can I put a lawn chair as my driver's seat and still be fine if someone hits be and I get injured? Not trying to be sarcastic about it, I'm just wondering if there is...

One more thing to add about the hitch itself. It came with a couple holes that were too far over to mount the license plate, then has a steel plate you bolt to those holes that lowers the plate several inches and moved it over. I thought it looked stupid to be that low and offset from where...

Got the trailer light converter box in today. So first thing I did was to disassemble the plug portion, and add a pigtail for the 12V accessory wire I was adding. There was already a pigtail for the brake line, but it was only 14 awg wire, I replaced it with the 10 awg I had run back from the...

So to look at this from a broader overall picture, yes, they work, and should be more comfy than stock. However... from a legal standpoint, if you are in an accident of any type, then the insurance company can pretty well deny any type of medical claims you might have, due to...

I don't see one either, but it's probably covered by all the built up dust in the second picture. First picture looks good to me. If this truck was in the army, it would get checked off as a "class 1 leak" which is just a little bit of fluid seeping from the seal. It would just be noted on...

For oil check, pull the wheel off, then look for the plate on the side that has a bolt/plug in the middle of it. This is your fill plug, oil level should be right to the bottom edge of it. Whenever you are dealing with the hubs you want to make sure this bolt is the first one removed, because...

I started a thread on the brake controller install with pictures and links, as I figured you aren't the only one that's ever wondered and it's easier to find projects when they have their own threads.

A couple days back I installed the Federal Military Parts class 3 heavy duty 2" receiver I picked up from another member here who decided to go a different route. Doesn't work with airlift bumper, which is fine with me, as I don't have one. Got it installed and was waiting on the other parts...

if it isn't getting power from the battery, then you should figure out why it isn't getting power, rather than replacing the part you say isn't getting power?

could have stll had air in the system.

either see if it can be fixed, or upgrade to the 200 amp generator (if you don't have it already)

The shutoff click is the circuit breaker tripping from thermal overload. One side then the other having issues sounds like bad wire or connection in the hood harness. Try removing the headlights and seeing what the circuit does. For all you know you got a bad set of lights and one of them...

So that means you have a short to ground somewhere in the light circuit. There are a few different ways a short can be looked for, I don't have experience with looking for them in an HMMWV, but first step would likely be just looking at all the different wires you can find for the light circuit...

Blows smoke while cranking but not starting is usually a glow plug issue.

There is an auto resetting circuit breaker to protect the electrical. To me it sounds like there is a short somewhere in the wiring that's overloading the breaker and causing the shutdown. Is it only the headlights that stop working, or do other lights stop working as well? Remember, the...

Legally, the trailer is supposed to weigh no more than 40% of the tow vehicle weight, or under 3k lbs without needing working brakes. For 2700 lbs your truck needs to be 6,750 lbs. I know mine is above that with the BEOD on it, but a stripped down soft top truck would be borderline. Not to...

Installed the federal military parts Class III 10k hitch. Found out when I unboxed it and then took off the rear crossmember under my truck that I'll need the bracket for the pintle as well, as my truck had the thick cross member that doesn't use the bracket. No instructions with the hitch...
