    Can a bad Glow Plug box stop your alternator from charging?

    Dude!!??!! My wires are white. That is not a generic statement. My point was that HMMWV’s have wires that are NOT BLACK.

    Can a bad Glow Plug box stop your alternator from charging?

    Thanks Springer! Like I said, its what I mean and not what I say. LOL Bottom line is the wires are white and not the rubberized black wires. Currently this original poster is asking about a white wire and I was trying to point out that there are some oddball wires in our trucks that are not...

    Can a bad Glow Plug box stop your alternator from charging?

    This thing we tie our Tachometers into. A more specific term might be dood-dad or thingy. It’s not the terms I actually write, it’s what I actually mean.

    Can a bad Glow Plug box stop your alternator from charging?

    Mogman… Wires on the oil flow sensor are white IIRC. Maybe others too?

    Glow Plugs

    You need to go underneath the left side of the dashboard and take a picture of the box. That picture will also have a picture of the label. Above your left foot as you were sitting in the truck and behind the dashboard there is a 4 1/2“ x 10“ box that is upside down. That has a label on it. Take...

    Anyone know what type of Schrader valve the A/C system uses?

    I’m concerned about dust and particulates that entered the system. It needs a cleaning IMHO.

    Stripped Geared Hub Drain Plug...good extraction methods?

    I have had great success with similar issues by ripping a straight valley across the top with a Dremmel and using a large screwdriver to twist in that valley like it is the top of a regular flathead screw. You can also use a hammer on the screwdriver if you place it eccentrically to force the...

    Can a bad Glow Plug box stop your alternator from charging?

    If you have a 200 amp alternator, there is a bypass so that electricity goes around the smart box/protective control box. That means you should be able to charge whether or not the box is good. I would think your alternator or your wiring is suspect.

    melton vs gep

    Others have told me that Melton had quality control issues. I am driving a 6.2 re-manufactured by melton and I am currently happy with it but in the back of my mind I am always worried.

    PCB/TSU so many choices which to buy?

    Back in the day, Cam helped me create these plans that I have referred to in Post number 51 in my former thread. He actually reached out to me in an attempt to help me create this stuff. He has also done this with several others. I was clear about his involvement then and I am clear about it...

    PCB/TSU so many choices which to buy?

    You can also build your own. Check out my thread with the schematic post 51 https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/how-to-bypass-pcb-i-am-aware-some-hmmwv-owners-have-done-it.182560/page-3

    HMMWV listed on Copart.

    Great as a movie prop. Post apocalyptic or something like wreckage seen in stuff like Suicide Squad and American Ultra.

    I sense a disruption in The Force. I sense alterations of the space-time continuum.

    Glow Plug Warm-up

    Until you have a good starter box, do not hook up the glow plugs. You will only blow them out again. If you replace them, which you should, do not make the electrical connections. Not until you have a new control box

    HMMWV upgrades

    That truck kicks ass. I can’t imagine why you think it needs to be improved. Enjoy the truck and drive it like you stole it.

    Plan B supply brush guard brackets.

    Super easy to straighten without a torch or heat. Just mount to the truck or a bench top vice and use a large adjustable crescent wrench with a three foot extension on the handle to bend back to stock. Or return, BUT a you have these in your house and they are repairable. Obviously the seller...

    M998 with Brush Guard - any off the shelf options for winch mount?

    Buy from retired war horses! I did and everything fits PERFECTLY and looks correct. My humble suggestion.

    HMMWV upgrades

    Buy what you want, but don’t try to turn a pigs ear into a silk purse. It is like you bought a 1969 Chevy Chevelle and you are looking to turn it into a Pontiac GTO because both are GM products using the same frame.
