Is it displaying signs of overheating or just the temp gauge showing that? Gauges lie.
I don't have a 6.2L so can't offer more on the sensors that engine uses, since I'm not sure they're the same. If you haven't replaced the thermostat and flushed and filled the coolant, that's a great thing...
Glad it wasn't worse and you still have the friend. It's nice of him to pay for the cutout, that he doesn't get to see where it's installed (HINT) :-)

Will probably tool around town in the M998 a bit just because I can, but I have a full day of housework and maintenance planned too. My traditional 4th practice is to ride my antique Harley around town to get a cheeseburger. I haven't gotten the HMMWV completely folded into the routine yet :-)...
Just because the positive and negative terminals are solidly bolted on in the battery compartment doesn't mean they are solidly bolted on the OTHER SIDE of the big post. It has its own threaded side and nuts to check.
I second putting in a secondary grounding harness. Can get wire at home...
A quick Google check says that they should both be 6.2l's, so shouldn't be too hard. I have seen multiple references that say stepping up from the 6.2L to the 6.5L involves having to get a new wiring harness (several hundred $, apparently).
Doesn't mean I'm not thinking about it myself...
I actually had to resize and print mine twice, so third time was the charm, but the price of all three attempts is on the order of $0.50 total. Similar to your situation Wire Fox, the second one almost fit, but I knew I'd never get it back off if I pushed it on hard. Mine has no lanyard, but...
I have had a converter sitting around for a while not happy with my thoughts on where to mount it. I have a first aid kit in this spot at the moment, but it can be relocated. This gives me some ideas. Thanks!

It could be a lot of things without more information. But I would check to see if one of your hubs maybe loose. Jack her up at each tire and see if there is any play. At the same time you can rotate the tire and see if there is too much play in the jack shaft.

No awards. I thought we might have a chance with the popular vote. All the kids in attendance had a blast though. We were like a jungle gym.

Mine has the geared tab washers and seems fine, but now you've got me worried. Has anyone had these fail? Reusing the washers asks for trouble, but as long as they engage well, as an engineer I still feel safe enough. It's all managed risk at 60mph with 3 tons...
The locking nuts are an...
I pulled the voltage regulator off today. Everything was heavily covered with carbon from the brushes but the alternator brushes were at least at 50% so I wasn't worried about needing to replace one. I sprayed all of the internals in the regulator cavity with Lectramotive. Once everything was...
On the left rear inside of the lifting shackle which gives just enough space left to miss the pintle hitch (I like to run w/ mine turned sideways unless in use). Had to drill my own holes in mount and of course in the frame, but it has worked well and keeps the plate out of the way.

It may be a little while before I can report on that, since my almost immediate failure in the engine bay occurred on the LEFT side... I suppose it will be in the way for some stuff, yes, but it's not that hard to remove the three bolts, so if it's more than a half hour job one could pull it...
