    Capacitor on alternator

    As time goes on, I've personally found those capacitors to cause more trouble than good. The horn cap failed, and the wiper caps were causing a slow wipe. I removed both of those and the horn/wipers resumed working correctly. I removed the cap off the alternator too. Given how advanced...

    Pushbutton upgrade for thumbless people.

    While the TDR setup I mentioned wouldn't monitor voltage and run an afterglow. Truth be told, my CUCV never after glows and it's not a problem. Outside of that, converting the temp sensor to a switch would make a simple TDR function much like the glow plug card. If you did need afterglow, you...

    Pushbutton upgrade for thumbless people.

    A time delay relay could be purchased much cheaper than the replacement card if one doesn't have one. Less than $10 on amazon. The rest is just wiring. While it wouldn't be as fast as plugging in a card, if one didn't even have the card housing, they're going to be addressing the wiring...

    86 M1009 Water Pump

    I've seen and replaced failed dampers. The level to which you're going to tear it down, you'd be better off replacing it if there's any doubt. Also replace the front main seal if you replace the damper. Check timing chain for stretch while it's apart as well. (Doubt it's a issue, but you're...

    Pushbutton upgrade for thumbless people.

    A time delay relay is absolutely a viable option. Just use it to power the glow plug relay. I'd recommend using a coolant temp switch though to provide ground to the TDR. That way it won't toggle when the engine is warm. You could also use that setup as a completely automated way to start...

    Well this popped up in my facebook today. Back when I hauled it from either Columbus or all the way over to durhamtown for the rally. I certainly have tested a CUCV.

    Frequency meter replacement?

    I've never had a 802, but here's a cheap one I've used for other things. Probably could make it work in place of the original. Backlit too...

    Tachometer hook up

    I used a optical tach sensor like chevymike shared. The tach by sound, well, isn't that precise. @Camolad best to start up a new thread or post in another alternator thread about replacement options. I don't think there's a readily available one at most parts stores anymore. But if you have...

    Tachometer hook up

    Correct. The pickup is to pick up the field changes to act as a signal for the tach. There's an adjustment method to these tachs. You will need a optical tach to set it up to start with.

    Does having a Turret add more value to the HMMWV? Turret owners... Could you live without it?

    I have one, but I actually use it for the various guns I use from it. If I didn't own brownings and such, I wouldn't own one, just no need for it. And it's one more place for rain to leak in.

    Arduino 4L80e controller

    I haven't ever gotten a 4l80e yet. So I honestly haven't done a thing.

    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    That's the function of a turbocharger.
