    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    I went out to start my rig one day, turned the switch to run and in a couple of seconds heard a bang (sounded like a 22 going off) started looking and testing since I didn't even crank the engine. I focused on the glow plugs sure enough the plug in #2 cyl was bad so I pulled it and found the tip...

    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    If the injector is known to be good but looks wet when you pull it out you may want to check compression on that hole.

    Brake Light not working one side

    There are 2 threaded holes on the back of the light with a flat bar between them and the ground wire under one of the bolts. If I remember correctly the mounting bar (as its called in he manual ) is what supplies ground to both bolts. do you have the mounting bar in place?

    Torque converter not engaging?

    if the trans light comes on with the start switch and stays on with the engine running, you probably don't have an RPM signal from your engine. The N/A engine had a sender where the turbo now sits, The turbo engine has the sender in the left lower side of the timing cover. you will need to...

    Q:Where to place a fuel cut-off valve?

    As mogman said, When you hear of Detroits running away They are talking about the old 2 stroke Detroit engines (453 / 671) and they had a trap door that when tripped slammed over the intake of the blower to shut them down. trust me when say it takes a brave person to reach over and trip the...

    ON BOARD AIR?

    Years ago I built an air system from an AC compressor, It worked well but -- I found that I had to use a York Compressor ( it has it's own crank case and oil level) Had to remove the head and drill a drain back hole in the case so it would not pump oil out of the crank case. This was 30 + years...

    If the thumping started after you fill it up with fuel , check the weight on the front of your rear driveshaft see if its hitting the shield on the tank.

    Truck bought for parts, got it running, but…

    Wicked wheel 2 for the Chevy/GMC 6.5L I ordered from dieselsite.com their P/N DS.ww:ww65. It was $163.07 with shipping. But the big change came when I went to an adjustable wast gate. I bought one, but mogman did a great write up and pictures of converting a stock one to manual on the HMMWV hot...

    M998 with Brush Guard - any off the shelf options for winch mount?

    Ok so don't laugh, but I have a front mount winch and when I head off road I pull the cable out throw it under the truck and hook it to the rear bumper then pull up the slack and head out. If i need to pull backwards I free spool the winch and pull the cable backwards and winch, If I need to...

    Transmission- or differential issue?!

    I have seen sheared pinions but only in things with much more horsepower than a HMMWV could dream of. If it is the input i would bet its more likely the yoke got lose and stripped out it's splines. with that in mind if the diff turns when you turn the pinion I would look at the output flanges...

    Transmission- or differential issue?!

    If the rear cover is off, just turn the pinion if the ring gear rotates the problem is in the center section or outputs. If the ring gear does not turn then its the pinion.

    ON BOARD AIR?

    I included a link to a regulator like I use, it screws onto the tank and has a std air hose coupler on it. It is a fixed 150psi output so nothing else other than an air hose and tool is needed. CO2 expands something like 800 times it's compressed volume which is why it works for me over...

    ON BOARD AIR?

    this is the type of regulator I use will run my impacts no sweat, couple of bucks a year for tank rental, and your good to go. Yes there are better tanks than the steel rental units, but for under $100.00 you can see if it works for you...
