The front evaporator has a condensation drain at the bottom, if the drain hose is missing or the nipple is broken “75% of the time” the condensation will just discharge onto the passenger floor board.
Removal or addition of a fording kit has nothing do with reliability of a hmmwv….the selector valve is removed so no possibility of leaving it in “forde” position, you only need to install a new CDR valve because the original was removed
There is no NSN because the P400 was never a production motor nor used by the U.S. military , the turbo was the Eurova turbo…nothing like the
GM6/7 turbo.
If you pull a pump out…replace it, there is nothing gain by reinstalling an old injection pump, working or not, Murphy lives in all trucks, the seals you can’t get to like the front shaft seal also fail and will leak from the weep hole, the advance plunger is easy but the plungers rust.
Drain the hubs and verify, it’s not uncommon to have trans fluid in the vent lines, it’s a known issue dues to venting of the Tcase and driving at hwy speeds.

In conclusion: Taking coolant out at the back of the heads reduces the amount of
coolant flowing forward and through the heads - plain and simple. That cannot be
argued. The cylinder heads generate most of the heat in a running engine, and the
cooling system has to move enough coolant...
no sir…the mfg is just trying to peddle his product, I get it, problem is…they just copied something out there that has been dispelled loooong before they ever manufactured their own product.
if the upper radiator hose is hard, it’s pressurized.
i would run a wire direct from the engine temp sensor to the gauge…I’ve seen high resistance shorts cause erroneous readings.
just run it out side of the truck and plug into the gauge, just for a test.
should never get past 220 before the fan engages…the thermostatic switch is likely the culprit, but have you actually verified this to be truly the temperature? Have you changed the radiator cap? have you verified you have built pressure when at operating temperature?
You dont need to pull them to check them, glow plugs just dont fail unless something takes them out.
low battery voltage will cause starting issue, check battery health
