    Pushbutton upgrade for thumbless people.

    A time delay relay is absolutely a viable option. Just use it to power the glow plug relay. I'd recommend using a coolant temp switch though to provide ground to the TDR. That way it won't toggle when the engine is warm. You could also use that setup as a completely automated way to start...

    Well this popped up in my facebook today. Back when I hauled it from either Columbus or all the way over to durhamtown for the rally. I certainly have tested a CUCV.

    Frequency meter replacement?

    I've never had a 802, but here's a cheap one I've used for other things. Probably could make it work in place of the original. Backlit too...

    Tachometer hook up

    I used a optical tach sensor like chevymike shared. The tach by sound, well, isn't that precise. @Camolad best to start up a new thread or post in another alternator thread about replacement options. I don't think there's a readily available one at most parts stores anymore. But if you have...

    Tachometer hook up

    Correct. The pickup is to pick up the field changes to act as a signal for the tach. There's an adjustment method to these tachs. You will need a optical tach to set it up to start with.

    Does having a Turret add more value to the HMMWV? Turret owners... Could you live without it?

    I have one, but I actually use it for the various guns I use from it. If I didn't own brownings and such, I wouldn't own one, just no need for it. And it's one more place for rain to leak in.

    Arduino 4L80e controller

    I haven't ever gotten a 4l80e yet. So I honestly haven't done a thing.

    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    Tell you what. A very simple a cheap test you could do to see if this bears any feasibility is to build a simple injector pop off adapter out of an old bottle jack, injector, and injector line. You can setup your inductive heater over the injector and heat it up however you like. Then test...

    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    We're burning 30% of the energy out the exhaust because it's a ICE and we'll, again physics. That's also why turbochargers help with efficiency by turning the lost thermal energy into boost to help airflow. The automotive manufacturers are trying to increase mileage, because they're mandated...
