    hmmwv tachometer installation

    This is the tach I have. It has the 4 screws on the back. I am trying to install this in a civy vehicle with the 6.5 GM engine with the yellow sending unit that goes in the back top of the engine where a distributor would go on a gasser engine. I'm using a 12 volt to 24 volt converter to power...

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    Does anybody know what this tach is looking for as far as a sensor signal? I hook mine up and I think it's correct but the tach is erratic with the engine running. I don't have the wiring part that goes into the body. I just ran a couple of wires from the sensor/sending unit to the tach + and...

    Fuel gauge issues

    Mine does that too when the tank gets low. I have an M923A2. I think it's normal, just the fuel sloshing around in the tank and moving the float up and down. When the tank is full, the gauge reads steady.

    pyrometer probe location

    Thanks everyone for the ideas. I think I'll go with putting the probe in the manifold like where crf450x and others mentioned. That should work good. Thanks Luke's_deuce for mentioning the max temp that I should watch for. Time to get out the drill and tap!

    pyrometer probe location

    Hello all. I'm getting ready to install an EGT gauge to my M923A2 engine and was wondering where to place the thermocouple probe. Here is a pic of my exhaust manifold with an area that I highlighted in white as a possible location. Any thoughts?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I cut one of my junk tires in half to take to disposal place. The beads are a killer to cut. I used a sawzall and a circular saw both with carbide blades and regular finer toothed blades. Lotta work!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I replaced my MT654 CR rear output shaft seal. Actually it took a few days. The hard part was taking the small driveshaft from the trans to the transfer case out. It is HEAVY. Taking the 8 bolts out and having to rotate the driveshaft, switching the transfer case to neutral was the hard...

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    I found these concerning Ametek/Dixcon tachs. I can't get mine to work right either. I have both the correct tach and the sending unit. I think maybe the wiring is picking up noise and messing up the signal.

    M998 Project: "Tech-V (?)"

    Second picture from the left, what is that above the silver finned box? Is that the PDP and what is a PDP. If that is a power distribution box, where did you source that? Thank you.

    Electrical help needed.

    Clean all electrical connections especially the ones to the batteries and starter, solenoid. Use wire brush, sand paper, steel wool, etc.

    1009 Rear window stuck in down position

    If you can get to the bottom of the glass, I think there are 4 bolts, 2 on each side that hold the glass in. Take those bolts off and then slide the glass out with the tailgate down. Good luck

    M939a1 wheel removal

    I would just do one wheel at a time but if you need to get them all off without anything to put on, then just be careful jacking the truck up and using jack stands. Use the 6 ton ones if you got them. I'm north of 18 on the east side of town, kinda near granite hills H/S, Central rd.

    M939a1 wheel removal

    I use a couple of shovels to get the tire and rim over the hub and on the lugs after walking the tire up to the axle. Don't let it fall over cuz you can't get it up by yourself unless you're superman! The shovels help to get the lug nuts on the rim holes lined up right. I have trouble with...

    Sorry Mike, I can't really tell from the pic. Just make sure it doesn't leak when you apply suction with a vacuum hand pump. (y)
