    Fuel leak from injectors?

    Look into the valley of the engine, the leak may be the injection pump and the fuel is leaking out of the valley drain, it exits just above the oil filter. you don’t have your vehicle model and year listed so it’s just a guess, it’s also possible the drain back lines are leaking on the...

    Smart box question

    Any other box other than an S3 is garbage, the yellow label Nartrons are notorious for stuck GP timers, if that light is on? You are getting voltage to the GP’s…and that’s not good. You didn’t state what model truck you have… edit: TSU’s are backwards compatible, the sign of a bad TSU is fast...

    Transmission or reducer issue in 1152A1

    well, it shouldn’t have been empty of fluids from the “seller”, the military drains the fluids as part of the shipping process, one would hope before anyone started the truck and drove it, they would have checked ALL fluid levels prior to any starting and driving. i just had a truck into the...

    Transmission or reducer issue in 1152A1

    A slipping transfer case isn’t the end of the world, some of your statements are assumptions on your part, but I’d rather not go into that, I’ve sold many many trucks into the EU, I can first hand tell you how they are broken when they arrive because of boneheads at the transport companies and...

    Transmission or reducer issue in 1152A1

    Make sure the detent spring and plunger are still present, I’ve had more than a few trucks from the auction missing these parts because they drained the Tcase fluid as part of Demil and transport from overseas via the detent plug…some are missing the plunger, others missing both the spring and...

    HMMWV Thermostatic Coolant Fan Switch Variants?

    are you truly isolating the issue to the switch? 75% of the time, it’s the switch, but the TDM and cadillac valve solenoid make up the remainder… What happens when the tdm is unplugged?

    Wrong 24v to 12v Converter?

    long before dual voltage, I ran off rear battery,like anything electrical, you have to engineer the load, so a cigarette lighter adapter, USB charger, backup cam…none of these items draw enough amps to create issues, the key is, don’t have constant power draws, you need either the ability to...

    Wrong 24v to 12v Converter?

    this topic just gets beat into submission it seems weekly…. the hmmwv like all modern tactical vehicles use both 12 and 24 component’s , pulling 12v to feed those components is how they were designed, work, the 14v tap coming off the regulator was specifically designed to prevent An imbalance...

    Wrong 24v to 12v Converter?

    Never tap the front battery…the rear battery is the correct battery to pull 12v from.
