It's a diesel thing. Preignition/irregular air-fuel mix or something. Doesn't scare me anymore and I drive with ear plugs/muffs/headset after warm up.

I’m sure it will but I’m not doing any offroading nor planning on it. I AM going to weld up a lunette ring to a disc harrow so ‘s I can drag it behind the humvee in a few years on my farm. Field can get pretty muddy, I’m sure I’ll be looking for a car wash that’ll handle the truck or buy one...

It say “diesel” anywhere in that ad?

I’ve heard both sides from many different sources. My sister and brother in law race corvettes, vipers, lambourghinis and several other exotic cars (they’re getting one of the first ten Dodge Demons shortly) - the sponsor an annual toys for tots run on Florida’s I-95 (I think) w/ Lambos upwards...

I bought two rolls of lava glass fiber and wrapped from the headers to tailpipe extension. Made a YUGE difference in sound and heat. Trick to applying it I found was to do it in 3” ace-wrap lengths or shorter. A whole lot easier than threading the entire roll around the pipes - which is...

That behavior is common with HMMWV’s when the PCB (old style, KDS or whatever) dies. New box (the one you linked from HPG) is what you need. DISCONNECT battery ground FIRST (might consider installing one of the switches, it’s an easy enough thing to do) before tinkering with anything...

I’d thought about that, then I’d have to get a new gasket or anneal the old one, bleed the thing, and it was a couple steps more than I wanted to follow. Have the socket though.

Confounding variables. The basis of scientific analysis is control the variables then pick one you’d like to focus on to see how it changes under changing conditions. All of us are starting with old - in some cases 30 to 50 years old - engines of dubious service and maintenance (Hey, private...

You changed the temperature sensing unit too? Glow plugs in good condition?

I had the same questions a while back and for similar reasons - spares, investment, engine still wasn’t running right (new S3 box fixed that right up) - and I got several answers, the most interesting being the length depends on the heads, there apparently having been two different style/depth...

Outstanding. Congratulations. sounds like it went to a good home. Keep the pictures coming. Norm

Man, where's that popcorn emoji when you really need it? Checked my stash, 25 gallons of RotellaT 15w-40 CJ4 and a half dozen of the ZDDP additive bottles. With one HMMWV, annual driving just a few hundred miles, I should be good for a few years. This has been entertaining, informative...

You came to the right place. Got pictures?

Curious how the synthetic would do taken slowly as the others were. Also, the MSDS for Head and Shoulders shows 1-5% Selenium Sulfide as an active ingredient. Which takes us back to SULFUR being removed from diesel oils and fuels leading to component damage. Thanks for sharing.

From the article: "So you hook it to one battery, then wire it to the transmission control light, giving you the 12-volt ignition source you need." Hoo-boy. Where have we heard THIS before. Hook anything 12V up to one battery and watch the battery/charging circuit failures begin popping...

Just spent yet another unfruitful hour searching for this topic related to HMMWVs (NOT Deuces, NOT M1008s, CUCVs or all manner of other posts NOT dealing with HMMWVs). aua Don't think it's me, the search function on this site is a little hard to narrow down even from within the forum searching...

Anyone looking for a set, PM me, I’ll put you in touch w/ a guy in Lothian, MD. His dad was Decodeme2 - died in a car accident back in April - his son’s selling off a boatload of hardware, parts, cars (Deuce, bobbed deuce, LMTV and several late model low mileage HMMWVs). I got pick of the...

This is good. http://www.comportco.com/~w5alt/antennas/notes/ant-notes.php?pg=9 Skip to the conclusion and read from the beginning for better understanding. NB

The whip antennas are generally dipoles (although how they do it - how it's wired, mechanically arranged - I don't know) and broadcast signals pretty effectively for their design and dimensions. On the base of the antenna is a switching circuit to select the combination of matching circuit for...
