Fuse as close to source as possible, otherwise wiring/connections frequently sacrifice themselves in fire under high current draw to save the life of the fuse.

I put in an order with LCI back in September. Received part of the order - twice - they sent a return label no problem, but I never got the jerry cans. In December, I contacted my CC/bank and said, hey, I never got these. Within days, I had a refund for 2 “cans” and shipping. Great service...

I'm more of an experiential type mechanic. If I open a tap and no water comes out, I don't travel to the reservoir to see if there's water before backtracking from the faucet to the shutoffs underneath, to the mains to see if my basement's flooded, then out in the yard to see if water's...

there are diesel fuel return lines from the injectors you can disconnect and see if fuel's coming out of them or if it's another problem. I only know this because mine were so damaged they leaked all over the engine while it was running when I first got it. Good luck. Keep us posted.

2a - Code list says it should be to generator armature circuit. "Load dump", (from wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_dump "In automotive electronics, it refers to the disconnection of the vehicle battery from the alternator while the battery is being charged. Due to such a...

Thats what the TN says and those are the step i did. But i don't get voltage from the 5A output alternator wire. Question Can someone tell me what the 2A and 568 wires are for or where do that go? Somewhere in this site's bowels (can I say that on this board?) there exists a LIST of common...

Think this would fit a 6.2?

Welcome from Maryland (soon to be Tennessee). Post pics when you can. Enjoy.

Many years ago my brothers and I sat down with a JC Whitney catalog and added up all the gas saving/increased power/mpg features of all the water-injection, high-flow air filters, micro-atomizer screens for carburetors, hotter spark gadgets, all the rest, you could run a Camaro for a year on one...

Read EVERY post in the “what did you do to your HMMWV today?” Hold out for a 6.5L GEP engine. If you have no intention of cruising on the interstate, the venerable TH300 turbo 3 speed is good enough, IF it’s running through a 242 model transfer case. There’s more, much more, but read the...

Alternator should be putting out north of 24 volts. Could be alternator, regulator, PCB would be last on my list of concerns. Go back to the troubleshooting section on testing alternaotr, but clean up your connections/terminals first, check grounds. I’d connect the alternator housing - ground...

Um, not really. There’s a kit, #57K3520 that supplies all the parts you’ll need for the alternator update. It uses a different bracket, LONG bolt, much heavier duty cable to the + (pos) stud in the battery box, and more. I’m in the throes of getting mine installed, just painted the power...

Welcome from socialist occupied Maryland. Appreciate your candor. How many years sober? Welcome to the madness. Norm

Well, poked around a bit, got a line on a “kit engine” meaning clean, all parts ready for easy assembly. Cheap. Engine block # 12555506, date cole H020 (Aug 02, 2000). So far as I can tell this is far beyond the cracking blocks/bolt hole problems, don’t know about the heads. Doubt they’re...

Some of you might find this interesting follow on to my post about breaking my truck. I did some work with lighting and mirrors and a dewalt electric drill with a left-hand drill to get that broken stud out. I’d loosened one of the header bolts and I could turn it with thumb and index finger...

did a websearch for “HMMWV AND EGT” Several useful links. Might’ve answered a few of my questions with this article: https://www.flashoffroad.com/Accessories/Gauges/EGT_Boost/EGT.htm And this: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?170442-Max-egt-s-on-nhc250 aluminum melting...

Been following this thread for a bit now... Does anyone have GOOD, solid, data on what range of EGTs (and measured from what point in the exhaust system) are NORMAL for stock/OEM 6.2L DT, NA, TD engines and, likewise for the same of 6.5L series engines AS ISSUED TO MILITARY use. Seems to me...
