The wait light comes on when the lead to the light is grounded. (pin E on the dash side plug) Are you trying to reconnect a ESS that had the plug hacked off or are you trying to bypass the ESS all together? If your wait light is on constant, my guess you have it connected to the wrong pin headed...

Standard glass is just that.. standard.. same, maybe not even as good as a normal automotive windshield. The up armored vehicles had a bullet proof glass, but there are videos of those only stopping a few rounds of small arms fire. Sustained fire you're gonna wanna duck.

I have a 4 man soft top with big back window rear curtain. EVERYTHING seemed to end up in the bed and got sucked into the cab under that back window. I finally picked up some aluminum U channel for the curtain to sit in with a bead of silicone underneath (and a bit more in the dips) and between...

I feel like it’s gotta be because the windshield is vertical. Yesterday I was walking from the back yard toward the Humvee and a flock? of those same kinds of birds kinda dipped down and flew across the top. I could see how one could fall out of formation just slightly and SMACK.

This is the SECOND time in a just over 12 months that one of these birds has apparently flown right into my windshield while parked in my driveway. Just me?

With the cable popped off the injector pump solenoid cranking it over a few times with the injector out you may find that whatever is loose in the precup will get spit out the injector hole. I've heard from many military mechanics who said when the glow plugs got stuck they just broke em off...

Blue Ox tops fit like a custom tailored suit. The others out there fit like a Sears off the rack suit. I have one of the latter. They work tho and are quite a bit less expensive. One of these days after I get all the other stuff done (hard doors, new tires) I'll circle back around and get the...

Well.. then make it 1.5 ohms and it'll only try and pull 16 amps if it sends voltage?

I presume all the glow plug wiring is parallel in the newer HMMWV's as it is on my M998.. so if the box is looking for a load it couldn't be much.. 1.5 to 5 ohms per plug x8 plugs all in parallel it would be looking for a resistance of less than half an ohm. I wonder if a guy couldn't just rig...

I'd just unplug all your glow plugs and connect the positive lead to one of the glow plug wires, the other lead to ground. Turn the key and see if you get 24v while the wait light is on and verify the voltage goes to 0 (or under 1 volt) when the wait light goes off. That Camotech guy has a...

The H1 has a middle and rear roll bar, where the HMMWV has a B and C pillar. Your attach points are going to be completely different. The HMMWV C pillar has little turnbuckles that slide through eyelets/grommets on the top and the H1 top is a lot of velcro.

I'd be willing to bet you could achieve just as good, if not better results buying a sub $100 system off Amazon and adding the little HMMWV rubber shell connectors. All these are really doing is interrupting the ignition. If I had to pick one or the other of the two you referenced the Digital...

Firing the glow plugs only when manually activated is far more reasonable. It could come in handy if you loan your vehicle out to friends or family members or if it were in a fleet situation. For a single operator it seems like just another potential point of failure unless you lack the...

My concern with the timer is engine temp. It can be 25 degrees out, if I go to Walmart, spend 45 minutes inside, I don’t need the glow plugs to heat the cylinders to restart. She’ll pop right off with a quarter turn of the engine. In fact, I really only need the glow plugs for the first start of...

Two things. First, decreasing voltage to the glow plugs will increase amperage. I'd think the likelihood of swollen glow plugs would increase with them drawing *more* amperage. Second, are you guys really laying on your glow plugs? I hit mine for 1 mississippi 2 mississippi 3 mississippi 4...

You could tap off of something that is already switched.. like the power to the heater blower switch. Wherever you get power you'll need to run into a 24v to 12v converter. I just ran a fused line off my batteries to a switch that powers a 24v to 12v converter. The possibility I might leave it...

If anybody needs values off a KDS board for repairs lemme know. This intact board had a burned trace on the bottom that was keeping the solenoid engaged and killing my battery. (and eventually roaching the solenoid contacts) Converted the box to manual glow op and the info in this thread was...

Yeah.. I just grabbed cans of what they had in Cat yellow. Reading about it recently the quality of the paint (coverage, lasting) depends on the amount of Titanium Dioxide in the paint and something called VOC’s. On at least one tractor board the general consensus is that Rustoleum tractor paint...

This is the stuff.. painted mine directly on the carc below last fall in 50 degree weather in my driveway. Used a snow shovel to clear the snow off it last winter, power washed caked on bird crap off it this summer.. zero issues.. sits unprotected in my driveway in all the South Dakota...

Tractor Supply sells enamel based tractor paint in gallons or rattle can. Looks great, variety of colors, is bomb proof, and doesn’t feel like 300 grit sandpaper when you brush up beside it. Paint the bed and floors with bed liner.. but for the outside, there are better options.
