    Anyone test their infrared blackout light under NVGs?

    That BO lamp is not IR, it’s a naked eye BO lamp, meaning….it’s doesn’t shut down an NVG when looked at under NVG and does not affect the naked eyes due to exposure to light at night, at least not the way white light does…the spectrum for NVG has been Blue-Green for some time, in the old days it...

    Bringing non-runner M1165A1 REV back to life!

    There should be no water in the fuel or old fuel…you should have drained the fuel tank and added fresh fuel. The rough idle can be easily be air still in the system, the white smoke can be a bad injector, a bad pump, low compression etc… this is why I don’t “shot gun“ a host of new parts when...

    Bringing non-runner M1165A1 REV back to life!

    using rebuilt pumps literally leaves open the higher possibility the issue is the rebuilt pump, unless it was doing same with old pump.

    HMMWV starts then stalls

    This truck is an NA and has no catalytic converter, nor is this a problem on NA’s that do…it’s purely a “Turbo” truck issue, at least from my experience

    HMMWV starts then stalls

    sounds like you have the cold advance and fuel cutoff wires reversed at the top of the pump, the rearward plug is “ribbed” to match the injection pump ribbed boot, 54A is the fuel cutoff solenoid and is the forward plug. when the truck warms up, it denies 24v on the cold advance thermostatic...

    A very odd TRANS light issue

    unplug the brake switch and check for 12v on the body harness side, make a switch or jumper and replicate pressing the brake pedal to lock and unlock the TCC….you will be able to feel and hear it and can do this as you drive along at a steady rate of about 45mph, this will tell you the TCC...

    A very odd TRANS light issue

    that’s the CPS “crank pos sensor” if it were unplugged the “trans”lamp would be on while the Engine is running because the TCM wouldn’t see the engine running.

    Fire it up, you need to know if it runs right, or you will be replacing the pump for a 3rd time…

    Injection Pump Reinstall Problem on 6.5 Turbo

    I believe that big Allen head bolt has an o-ring on it…I’d have to take one apart here in the shop to see. Does the truck run good?

    Injection Pump Reinstall Problem on 6.5 Turbo

    This is just another example of why I only use pumps from HPG or MAC motors, either rebuilt or new, the amount of time spent removing this pump again negates any savings,I learned this lesson many years ago. As far as Pensacola diesel goes, I got nothing good to say about them either as a pump...
