it's also recommended that you use LED bulbs in the brake light position if you don't have the newer LED assemblies for the rear, to reduce the amount of current going through the brake switch which in turn reduces wear/arcing

The pulsing of the gauge isn't the alternator, it's the glow plug controller. The glow plugs are pulsed every few seconds in order to help warm up the engine faster, but can't be run constantly or they would burn up. Some controllers do the pulse method, others use a constant lower voltage. It...

If you run out of adjustment, you can always just bend the rod to make it shorter

That may be true, but when 6 cells are receiving less voltage than needed to properly charge and the other 6 are receiving more voltage than needed to properly charge, then rotating the six does help. It's just the nature of charging batteries in series that the first one connected to positive...

I've heard this said several times, but have never seen any evidence of it. I've also heard from Air Force load masters, and rail yard guys that they've never seen it used for that.

Not in the -10 as far as I know, but in a different manual

When my pump failed, I bought a cheap 12V pump off amazon or fleabay. I just remember it was cheap, like under $20 for the pump. 3 years later still works every time I use it. Would probably burn up if I tried to run the whole tank of washer fluid through it at once, but a few seconds here and...

Typically it's the forward battery that overcharges and rear battery undercharges. First in series charges more than later in series. Plus, no two batteries are ever perfectly identical to begin with, so usual recommendation is either install some sort of battery balancer, or swap the battery...

35 inch tires on 17 inch rims. Personally I just kind of want a set of the rims.

airing down and seeing when it hits the run flats while on a flat surface is going to be a lower pressure than when you are driving over obstacles. If you are planning on driving over obstacles, then I would say check pressure while the tire is sitting on a sharp corner of something that causes...

Typically they were an ECU at the front, and generator mounted between the fenders, though some other variants do exist. I believe military rated these as 6k lb trailers when towed behind larger trucks, and 4200 if towed by the HMMWV. Until you get to the big trailer they rated for 12k, they...

The only one I know of for bumper pull would be the larger DRASH type trailer, once you strip all the generator and ECU components off of it.

When they start the article with "6.2l turbocharged engine" you know it isn't going to get any better.

Either you still have a lot of air in the system, or somewhere before the lift pump there is a pinhole leak in a fuel line allowing air to get into it. Can't be after the lift pump as it's all positive pressure at that point (I say can't, but it's not completely impossible) That is what seems...

The gauge is there mostly as reference. I've used 3 different senders and 2 different gauges, and every combination reads differently. Oil pump system is entirely mechanical, and usually either works or it doesn't. As long as the gauge reads pressure, and moves between low RPMs and high RPMs...

the 700xxx serial number is more consistent with being an M1097R1 truck, as regular production HMMWVs are still under the 400xxx or so mark, and the M1097R1 trucks are 500XXX and up.

I don't know anything about them, but if the 4 studs that are longer are evenly spaced, then it would make sense that those 4 are for helping pull everything together, and the rest being shorter is so you don't have to spend so much time tightening all the nuts down on longer studs, especially...

Unless you have an air leak somewhere in the system, then there shouldn't be any way for the fuel to drain back into the tank.

His is a 3 speed R1 truck, and has the cast mounts. The R1s don't have a UOC that I know of, and I didn't want to just assume for him that it was the same as the M1097A1 for those parts.

I believe that you'd want the A2 progressive rate springs as replacements. You definitely don't want the M1114 springs unless you're using it as a shelter truck or something similar with a lot of weight all the time.
