From what I could tell there's no real load-bearing on that bracket, it seems to have been left behind when the 60A alternator was installed.
The bolt is a double-ended stud with a hex nut forged in the middle. Idea is to clamp down the header and use the extension for the bracket...
Thanks. New to diesels, none of those symptoms happening.
Was hoping someone who'd had direct experience with this might chime in.
Stud is broken off at/below face of exhaust ports so welding's not an option, more concerned this will be a bear of a project getting a drill in there to clear...
Broken part is #18 on figure 36 or 38 of TM 9-2320-280-24P-1, goes between mounting bracket for 100 or 200A generator, does double duty holding down manifold AND a bracket which, although I have a 60A generator, is there.
Thing snapped off pretty much flush with the head.
I have some...
Home fabricated antenna mounting plate
Dunno, maybe it was out of boredom, or just the challenge of the thing, but I plan on putting a 2-band ham radio into the beast when it's more "road-worthy" (fuel system, mostly), something like a Kenwood VM-271 just 2M and 70CM and, while the 30-512MHz...
Don't think so.
My first thought (as a very low time glider, SEL pilot but with several hundred hours of crew time as a flight surgeon long ago) was the radius of curvature for that airport would have to be miles long to give enough "straight" runway to approach, touch down, hit the buckets and...
AAAAAND, it worked.
replaced tachometer sender. MAN, what a chore, nut was frozen on the drive block, took considerable time for Kroil to soak in and judicious use of a rubber mallet to loosen things up. Ceaned threads, started engine to make sure the "drive" was working, then I installed...
Anyone actually using one?
Difficult to install (from parts/pictures, it looks deceptively simple, a lot like every other one hour project that's turned into a three hour grudge match maybe)?
In the interest of protecting the engine - dusty environment or no - and adding just a bit of extra...
That's what I was going on about.
Interesting that I've visited about a dozen sites and only found TWO that stock the HOSE (it's not to be found on eriks, easternsurplus, others) including Kascar and macmotors at $36 and $29 respectively.
I have it on good authority by a vendor here (and on...
Quick question about the hose, PN 12338591-1. I've also seen this listed as just 12338591.
What is the difference?
I went to several parts sites and entered first one, then the other, some sites found one, not the other.
Hummerpartsguy links BOTH parts to the same one (NSN).

Thanks, Ryan. In for a penny, in for 53 pounds. I made an offer, it was accepted, set's on the way. I figure if this saves me even ONE trip to a shop in future for a repair I can do at home (since I'm disassembling the thing anyway), it'll be worth the investment.
I'm printing this page for reference.
Over the past couple hours - between patients - I've been googling various combinations of "HMMWV + quick disconnect + MWO + fan clutch" and the winning combination was: "HMMWV AND fan clutch AND quick disconnect"
Which led me here...
