Hello all, so in October I purchased a 966 or atleast it's titled that way here in ohio.
22000 miles on it. Titled as 1988, but engine states 1990 gm, and the plate says in service/delivered via sometime in 94.
It wasn't running well when I purchased and had to drop quite a bit to get it to a...
This is an older pic. I cleaned the area and glow plugs and now only have a small, very small dribble leak from back two injectors. Only spec of black spots sometimes on orange glow plugs

Additionally as I assume someone will mention the red spot on board underneath, it was a bad gearbox, which has been replaced. Install was about 3 hrs and alil tricky, but got it done %)
Oil pressure sits at 40 when running, temp sits at 180 to just under 200 idling. I've heard fan kick on a few times when I run it around. Seems to get close to 230 and then back down to 190ish

Thank you. When it does go uphill. It gets really loud and rpms scream, black smoke dumps out as well. So it not getting burned correctly. Leaning towards the injector side of things as well as pump.
Thank you. I did also notice that the goofball I bought this from never replaced the Injector fastener bolts on said injectors where leaking is occurring. Any idea where to find those?
So I'm brand new to this hmmwv world and recently bought my first one back in October. Its been an expensive education to say the least... replaced alot of key parts and still can't figure out the power issue going up hills.
I've looked at pump, and when I first got it it was caked in just utter...
