ASK = Acoustic Suppression Kit. Basically some add on or modified components that helped lower the sound output. Below is a pic I found of one with the ASK.

There are lots of reasons why the gauge might read lower than mfg spec oil pressure, not the least of which is the gauges aren't perfectly accurate. Without knowing what oil might be in it, or if there is anything else going on, it's hard to say more. It's a crap shoot buying at an auction...

Some of the factors to consider is whether it still has the 6,2l and 3 speed transmission, or if it got upgraded at some point in it's life to the 6.5 and 4 speed. Pictures of the doors would give us a better idea whether they are aftermarket, or original military doors with the supplemental...

Looks like the G7200 has been replaces with the Genius 10, a 10 amp instead of 7.2 amp charger. If you're willing to be patient get on their mailing list, and they occasionally send out decent offers, or do things like 30-40% off for black friday. (this last black friday they had all their jump...

Wet stacking is where the engine doesn't get hot enough to burn all of the fuel, so as it runs wet carbon starts building up in the cylinder, on the valves, and in the exhaust system. The fix is to run the engine under a heavy load occasionally to get it good and hot to burn out all the wet...

Carc is some pretty nasty stuff, so scraper would probably be safest, though I normally pressure wash it to keep the dust down. If it stays on after a few good passes of high pressure, I leave it alone unless it's got obvious bubbles under it where it's trying to come off, then I use a plastic...

This is a common issue, and there are dozens of threads started here on a regular basis for "HMMWV no start" That being said, sounds like you have a bad control box. This is a relatively common issue, the fix is to replace the control box with a newer version, and replace the temp sending unit...

I might just find some trees around here and hoist it that way, it's got 4 big eyelets on the top that I can only assume are there for install/removal as they're a lot bigger than needed to tie down however much the roof is rated for.

Yeah, I'll need to do something like that because during the summer I'll want to use it in troop carrier configuration for parades and such when I'm not suing it for work.

So likely I will need to remove the tie downs. Should probably do that first before trying to fit the box into the truck, as I don't have a forklift or overhead hoist, so it's going to be interesting to install it.

All I really need to make this work compared to my current setup is a cab roof, the BEOD seals to the cab in place of the back wall, though wondering how hard it would be to just get a sheet of aluminum and bolt it on top of the cab and add some velcro for the BEOD to fasten to. We'll see what...

Fine, I went out and took a couple pictures. It's dark and raining, and it's sitting on my flatbed truck right now, but here you go. Came with the 2 half doors, looks like they use the wire door latches instead of the post type, and has the roof rack for over the cab. There was an...

okay, talked to my EOD guy, he says there is no type of TM for this, and the install/removal happened at depot level so nothing on that either. Looks like it's 2 large bolts in the front and 3 in the rear straight down through the truck bed and probably through into the frame in those areas. I...

So I just picked up a BEOD (Body, Explosive Ordnance Disposal) and haven't been able to find any documentation on how it's supposed to get mounted into the truck. Does anyone have any type of documentation for install or even just general documentation on these? I didn't see any in the TMs...

Lots of things would be nice, but they trust 18 year olds with guns, not power tools, and no authorization to use tools to perform unauthorized modifications to vehicles anyway. More than a few people have reported the extra drain holes in their trucks are 5.56 diameter, or 7.62.

so a 30 amp aircon is passing 300 amps at startup? That seems a bit steep. Normally I would expect around 150-180 amps (5x-6x inrush), but it's not impossible. If it isn't a brand new unit I'd try replacing the start capacitors on it to see if that helps. If it IS a new aircon then I'd be...

Crimping tool can be had used on ebay, usually though it's at least $50, usually a bit more as new they are around $300 or so for a decent one. Personally I just use a little solder and a propane torch for them, it's quick, cheap, and pretty easy. I buy the connectors here (best price I could...

This is the one I installed. Have it installed right above the transmission diagnostic port. https://thosemilitaryguys.com/collections/hmmwv-parts/products/keyed-battery-cutoff-switch-for-hmmwv-driver-side-mounting For a little less, they have one for the passenger side mounting, but can't...

Yup, the cheaper generators rely on the residual magnetism inside the iron core of the rotor to start the power generation sequence, where MEP and many other generators use an excitation circuit to start creating voltage. If the excitation circuit doesn't bring the voltage high enough, the...
