So I’ve developed a leak from my injection pump on the bottom. It looks like it is coming from an Allen head bolt. Any idea if this can be fixed or will it need a rebuild. Looks like it sucks to take out.
So I installed a boost gauge on the truck and I am not really generating any boost. Maybe 1 pound while driving up a hill. In addition I made an adjustable waste gate and adjusting it appears to not change anything.
The majority of the time it’s running slightly in vacuum.
I took the line off...
I have an M1152A1 that brakes fine when it’s dry out but add a little snow then the back end seems to slide out way earlier that expected.
Is there a way to adjust the proportioning valve or should I just leave it alone.
So I’m looking to add a winch to my M1152A1. It has the front winch bumper with the large hole cut out in the middle.
My questions are:
1. Is there another plate/bracket I need to add to stiffen the front bumper? or can I mount it right to the existing bumper and that’s good enough?
2. What...
So I’m looking to make a piece to close out my right fender. I believe the piece that originally was there is an armored piece. I tried a bunch of bolts I had laying around but nothing matched up. I also looked in some of the manuals but couldn’t find it.
Thanks in advance!!!
Is there a way to test the glow plug controller? I have read there is but possible only older controllers. I tested the one in my truck and didn’t pass any of the tests. I replaced it about a year ago so I’m assuming it is fine. I believe it is a KDS yellow band type.
Reason for testing is I...
So I developed a fuel leak somewhere on the driver side. It is leaking down the engine onto the oil filter and exhaust pipe from what i think is the injector(s). A couple of the injector look damp around them but it’s tuff to tell due to the slow oil leak it has in the same area. This leak...
So my truck developed a rather loud binding popping noise.
Back ground- drove the truck a few weeks ago on the highway and melted a fork in the transfer case. Drained oil- only had about a cup of oil in there, plus the pin was missing on the shifter fork. Fixed that cleaned it up put it back in...
So I took a trip with my 1152A1 today and the transfer case all the sudden falls into N this has never happened before. I was traveling around 65-70 mph and started to climb a hill on the highway and the transfer case went into N. I was able to get it home but I had to put my hand on the lever...
So lately the temperature has been dropping into the 20’s at night and 40’s during the day. So the truck sits a few days typically before I start it.
On start up it fires right up but blows white smoke that smells like diesel. When I say it smokes it fills my front yard with smoke. It runs a...
So I think my tie rod ends are mixed up on my front right of my truck. Went to do a string alignment and started to adjust things. Went and started to move radius sleeve and noticed that the thing doesn’t move the tire. The tie rod ends appear to be moving in sink with each other versus pushing...
So I have done some reading and can’t seem to settle on what led module to get. I have led front marker lights and some civilian style rear lights. The rears have regular incandescent bulbs right now. I also have the led bulb in turning handle. This gets the tears only to blink. Tried a bunch of...
So this is what I used to fill my holes in the truck.
I used approximately 50 stainless M10x30MM bolts and nuts. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D7YTQKQL?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
These are 10 packs with nut bolt washer and lock washer.
In addition I used rubber washers to keep the...
I keep having this reoccurring problem of my alternator pulley nut falling off. Not sure if anyone has the same problem. I put it on tight this time with some lock tight. See if it works
I notice while driving that there seems to be some play/wondering in the steering. I jacked it up and started moving/pulling things. I noticed some play in the idler arm and a small amount of movement on the pitman arm at the ball joint.
pictures of movement attached
I’m in need of a diagram/pictures or possibly a tm for my AC unit in my M1152A1.
The AC evaporator area seems to be clogged and I have condensation coming from everywhere and water on the floor. The water that does somewhat drip out the drain is really dirty.
Also when I turn I can hear what...
So I had to replace a seal on the hub and while I had everything off I decided to take the shims off. There were 3 on each side and there were slotted so I loosened the nuts and slid them out. I put everything back together and my toe in is crazy out of wack. No idea how to align this thing and...
I have an M1152A1 with the stock2 man A/C unit. I am just getting into the stage of fixing the A/C. The fan switch works on the dash. The vents blow air but it’s not blowing cold. I don’t hear the fans under the right rear wheel well turn on. I did hear them come on once before for a second...
Anyone have advice on cutting and buffing the orange peel, dead bugs, drips, and sags on a Hmmwv. Lots of rivets and weird body stuff to deal with.
3 coats of clear to work with.
