    Wait Light works intermittently

    Check and see if you are getting voltage with the switch on run between the wire and plugs.

    Wait Light works intermittently

    Do a search on here for testing glow plugs. They should have a certain resistance with an ohm meter from the plug connector to ground. Can't recall off hand what the range is supposed to be.

    Wait Light works intermittently

    Leaving the switch on either killed your board or wasted the glowplugs as they stay energized. Unless you have the non swell, self regulating glowplugs. I'm guessing your glowplugs are toast. I would test your glowplugs first thing. I'm betting replacing your glowplugs about $60 with new...

    Tips for buying off GovPlanet/IronPlanet?

    Good luck. My experience was not too good. Not only did they not mention they had to start the vehicle with ether or that there is an injector pump leak leaving fuel in the valley, But I found why my transfer case is leaking. They didn't mention or show the exhaust took a hit bending the exhaust...

    Looks like a freakin nightmare.......... I can't believe someone/whole team of engineers designed this contraption.

    Anybody rebuild their injector pump/replace throttle shaft seal?

    I can't find a breakdown of the injector pump in the TM's. I have a leak at the throttle shaft on my injector pump when it's cold but then it stops leaking when it's warmer out, say about 60-70 degrees. Is there an oring that can be replaced with the pump in the HMMWV. The leak is at the...

    What's the trick to adding fluid to the transfer case?

    Thanks everyone. I will be changing what's left in the transfer case. Might explain the whine I was hearing too at speed. Can the transfer case cover be removed and a new gasket installed without pulling the case?

    Can a decent 6.2L glow plug be obtained at O'Reilly?

    I couldn't find any 24V from Oreilly. I bought mine here http://www.accuratediesel.com/shop/115.html I had a whole thread on this going. I was like WTF these new glow plugs I bought(spade top) have a different connector from another source(guess I have a spare set now for my M1009 in the...

    What's the trick to adding fluid to the transfer case?

    I always think a 30 minute job is going to take 30 minutes....You'd think I would know by now. I pictured in my head I was going to run my wife's F150 supercrew up to temp to change her oil and filter, while I checked and filled the transfer case since I pulled it into the garage this weekend...

    Red Dot A/C in Soft Top HMMWV

    Holy crap.....I didn't realize the unit was that big....... You lose most of your cargo space. Why can't they make a system like in civilian applications?

    A radio for my radio

    Yeah I'd like to know if there is a TM for mounting VIC1 systems in a HMMWV, where and what brackets for the intercom boxes/speaker! **** just a few pics of where the boxes are mounted and how. I'll fab something up as far as brackets. I'm using As3900 antennas so one cable per antenna, not two...

    Confused on HDO 10 HDO 30

    OK got it, so if i wanted to test a theory that my motor wasn't cranking over fast enough when cold below 32degrees, I would drain and replace with 5W-30 for example. Or if I wanted the best of all worlds in the frozen tundra in winter and good enough in summer in MN, 5w40 would suffice as the...

    Confused on HDO 10 HDO 30

    What is comparable generic oil for the 6.2? Does the 10 mean 10w30 or similiar? What does 30 mean? I've never heard of 30w anything????? I want to be sure I have the right oil as the AM General troubleshooting guide indicates if you don't have the right oil, the engine might not spin fast...
