    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    Humpty, you just fell from your wall. I’m not interested in your self righteous attitude. YOU came to us. YOU asked for advice. YOU then spit at those of us trying to help. When you ask for advice, it is a request for ideas and not a demand for a guaranteed road map to success. After-all, we...

    Burning out directional flasher module?

    Use a multimeter to check alternator output, and input to the blinker module. Buy ‘Merican!

    Log of… a whole hodge podge.

    I will be starting several separate threads soon. Three of four EUC given at one time. Two M1114’s and one of two M1151’s are now granted EUC’s. One purchase Jan 20 and the other two roughly March 07, 2024. Await EUC M1151 paid for April 5’ish. The M1114’s are missing tops and doors and...

    Springer installed a keyed ignition on the steering column maybe three years ago and posted how he did it.

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    I have never liked the idea of airing down on pavement. This goes back to the Ford Explorer disasters. Ford was telling people to run 20 psi in tires. The tires flexed too much, the sidewalls degraded, and tire explosions caused many fatal and crippling accidents. This was worsened by the fact...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    The true way to place springs is to: Decide upon wanted ride height WRH Measure spings uninstalled lengh USL Install springs and measure Initial ride height. IRH Set up a simultaneous equation to obtain wanted uninstalled ring length WUSL. WRH / IRH= WUSL / USL Solve for WUSL. Remove and...

    Air Compressor/Opinions Please

    Works well in a pinch! I use one to carbonate my beverages. Cheap, easy to secure, effective as long as you keep it charged. Can’t use very long with power tools but great for tires.

    HMMWV Rolled on I75 North of Cincinnati

    I am saddened that someone protecting our nation has been injured. Hard for me to not take seriously. Some parents somewhere are crying.

    Your problem is an odd ball. In most cases, replacing glow plugs and pcb/EESS is the textbook way to go. I feel bad for you BUT you can now upgrade to a turbo GEP.

    Disconnect the starter wire from switch and place a hidden push button for the start.

    You have a cracked pre-cup, and very poor compression numbers. Fixing the engine would seem to be a fool‘s errand. The biggest bang for the buck would be replacing the engine. That would also probably work out to be cheaper.

    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    Compression tests should be performed warm. The compression in the other cylinders should not affect the cylinder being checked. When you add oil for wet testing, only add a tiny bit. Too much and you will hydrolock and bend things. Testing cold can give low numbers. Rings need to warm up and...

    Gotta wonder if that cylinder number on the injection pump is somehow farked. Also gotta wonder if the injector line is too long or too short or kinked.

    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    RWH is one of the most reliable sources of information here. He has seen and repaired almost everything. The OP has chosen to ignore his advice. My suggestion is reconsider and follow Retired War Horses information to the letter. I speak from experience. My M1165 now runs beautifully. RWH...

    2007 M1097R1 Project - New member introduction

    My experience with Seco was not positive. They were told to send a part “signature required”. UPS claimed to have delivered but no signature and my building cameras confirmed no delivery. Seco refused to refund and refused to launch an investigation into UPS. As buyer, UPS refused to respond to...
