Update... beer fixes everything. I’m not sure if me using a multimeter scrapper some of the crud off the wire for the oil pressure sensor or if time did it’s thing but:
I cracked a beer in disappointment and started staring at the truck. Then I put the lid to the overflow tank on and opened the...
Hopefully I haven’t ran it too long. I’ve ran it for 4 periods of less than 3-4 mins. I do get a beep when testing the oil pressure sensor for continuity.
Since the truck last ran well and normal, I have done the following:
replaced the radiator with Spectre b850
New Radiator hoses
Replaced oil dummy light sensor rear driver
Replaced glow plug sensor rear passenger
Replaced coolant sensor front driver
Replaced coolant crossover with HMMWV coolant...
Thanks for the pictures. It was helpful. I’m still waiting on some parts but I can get to working on the bracket today. Did you have any trouble out of the transmission vacuum line that runs over the passenger side rear port for the paradox system?
also, does the desert turtle have an...
I just received the hmmwv crossover today. I thought the threaded port going to the water pump was going to be 1/2”NPT. But it seems bigger. Do you happen to know what it is?
Also aren’t the other ports on the top of the crossover 1/2” NPT?
Thanks Sharecropper, i looked thru the TM's and didn't see it listed in the parts manual. is there a better manual?
Edit: I found the correct manual that shows this sensor. Sorry to bother with a dumb question
Thanks! You don't need approval to view the thread, however you need approval to see the pictures in full size. Otherwise, they end up being 1" squares on your screen that you can't enlarge. Interesting build you have there. I am interested in seeing the final outcome. I especially like your...
When you installed the Paradox coolant system, did you have to get rid of the rear drivers GP controller sensor? It looks like the lines insert at that location.
Hahaha! I definitely don't need a truck that I have to name 16 gauge. I was however wanting enough gauges to monitor: coolant, oil, maybe vac pressure (haven't decided yet). I just got carried away with the oil temp and wasn't thinking about pressure. Since the beginning of this thread, I have...
I started trying to pull the crossover pipe and I am trouble getting the bolt closest to the IP bracket on the right side off. Honestly, I can't seem to get a socket and ratchet on it without taking down the bracket and IP. Thoughts?
Also, have you noticed a significant difference since adding...
Now that we have the oil pressure sensor issue corrected. How hard is it to swap to the humvee crossover? Does it match up exactly? Does the heater core hose still come off the crossover? Can you remove the existing 6.2 crossover without removing the injection pump?
