    A/C Diagnostic help

    that 5lbs has to be a “typo”, cuz the service label on the trucks say 3lbs 8oz….but yes, follow the pressure chart.

    A/C Diagnostic help

    pressure chart is best, as well as temp gauge inserted into one of the vents while on full, running at 1500rpm…the TM calls for 3lbs 8oz, but that does depends on the pressures banned on air temp.

    A/C Diagnostic help

    The rear is an evaporator only, the fan speed is controlled by the hi/low switch same as front, the rear evaporator shuts off when the compressor shuts off, the front evaporator will continue to push air because the blower is still going, this is because the front is also a heater Blower. You...

    M1123 Shifter Problems

    Fluids have nothing do with a shifter assy and hard shifting…unless something is restricting the shaft, I’d be looking at the shift linkage or the shifter I’ve replaced quite a few gummed up shifters.

    400A and Over-run pulley

    There is no “low voltage“ cut off, just Over voltage cut off, the reg has a soft start feature, meaning you wont see full charging voltage for up to a minute, if you have 24v at IGN terminal at ALL times while engine running and suddenly no output of 28.5VDC? its either the regulator or the...

    400A and Over-run pulley

    Of course it’s an acceptable combination, there is the possibility that the over run pulley is defective, can you spin the pulley in both directions while engine is off? It should only spin free in one direction. also, what was the part number of the new belt?

    Fixing a delaminating ballistic windshield

    Tempered is not used on WS’s, it’s used in side windows, if it’s on the windscreen? It’s laminaged, and 5/8 glass is expensive, I’ve sourced it…it’s an odd size. if You aren’t installing OEM glass? Than just install standard 3/8 glass, putting in 5/8 safety glass just ends up being a waste of...

    Fixing a delaminating ballistic windshield

    i seriously doubt you will find a company that will delaminate that glass and apply new…adding any thickness with additional layers will render the OEM seal and WS retainers useless, I’ve done door glass on 5/8 and makes you add something to the edge because the dimensions for the seals and...

    Fixing a delaminating ballistic windshield

    All ballistic glass suffers the same fate due to exposure to the element, and it’s all addressed the same, you have to remove the poly layer that’s delaminating from the glass. In the govt world, this glass ultimately has a shelf lift, ive installed a lot of it over the years and seen my fair...

    How many RPMs should a Humvee 1165 6.5 L turbo

    The over running pulley is larger, hence lower “indicated” rpm’s…the smaller fixed will have a “higher“indicated rpm. several other factors play into higher rpm’s “actual“ such as a Torque converter not locking up, in limp mode, TCM chip set.
