Other than a mountain pass in Ghor province in Afghanistan, and the name of some character from World of Warcraft, nothing. Stay tuned though, someone may come along shortly with the right answer.

Dude, if you don’t know the acronyms, you don’t know the language. :confused: Actually, it’s idioms, but we’re talking MVs here (Military Vehicles), you know? I have Hagerty insurance coverage and the new monthly magazine had three pages of HF (Harbor Freight - heh heh) coupons. Top left...

Not a “done to” but a “done with”. Took mine out for a little ride this morning to test out the centramatic balancers I’d installed a few days ago. They work great. Think I’ll keep them. Brought truck inside to putter around under the hood and our new dog “Hudson” (i got outvoted) finally...

Took several months and several tries to figure out, but the crossover pipe (tube under crossover by the thermostat and top of water pump) fittings were two different sizes. Very slow drip which got worse when I replaced the hose and hadnt noticed the flange/connector pieces were different...

https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=pocket+digital+multimeter Pick one. They’re cheap enough and easy to use for voltage, resistance, continuity and other testing. I keep one in each of my trucks, my toolbox and own a much higher quality/pricey...

Which zerostart model did you wind up buying? I‘ve been all over the usual online auto parts places, the phillips and temro site and 20 minutes later am no closer to figuring out which plug DOES fit vs. which one MAY fit. Thanks. edit: Nope, nope, I got it. Did a websearch for “zerostart...

Those packard connectors and 25 year old dielectric grease aren’t infallible. I’ve been going through as many connectors as I can this past year one by one cleaning, slathering dielectric grease on the rubber, deoxit on the terminals, reconnecting stuff. I’d really like to get another decade’s...

Ho-ho-ho. Did that once long time ago... Brigade Commander went ballistic. Thanks for the reminder. I'll pick one up today.

Ground wires generally don't need to be as heavy a gauge wire as the hot lead. Current only needs to "sense" ground so it "knows" which direction to go, otherwise it sits in storage (battery, capacitor) waiting. I found it very interesting that the 30 (THIRTY) amp-rated (might be higher, but...

S3 unit's the way to go, Box AND TSU - and get MILSPEC glow plugs, about $70 a set. Yeah, they're mfd by Welman (aka "swellman") but they can all swell. Less so with the newer PCB/S3 system as they turn off the plugs sooner. If you CAN, find someone you can borrow a plug puller from - they...

You know what they say you're doing when you ASSuME. [no reflection on Swamp Donkey 8)] Most of my adult life I've been under the assumption that - Engine R&D routinely involves TQM methodologies of design, assembly, TESTING, then fielding for "real world" performance data. - Said R&D would...

Nothing like a good zombie post to make your day.

I went with this stuff: Continental 30R7 30R7 Fuel Hose 65126 1/4" x 25' 65128 3/8" x 25' http://www.continental-elite.com/Corporation/Downloads/Aftermarket-Brochure/AFT-Brochure.html There's 30R9 if you're anticipating using biodiesel (which Im not, I don't think the seals/parts in...

The MEP 802 generator starting instructions say to hit start and keep cranking until oil pressure rises (or hits somenumber I can’t recall, but once it starts it comes up FAST, like a second).

It's a diesel thing. Preignition/irregular air-fuel mix or something. Doesn't scare me anymore and I drive with ear plugs/muffs/headset after warm up.

I’m sure it will but I’m not doing any offroading nor planning on it. I AM going to weld up a lunette ring to a disc harrow so ‘s I can drag it behind the humvee in a few years on my farm. Field can get pretty muddy, I’m sure I’ll be looking for a car wash that’ll handle the truck or buy one...

It say “diesel” anywhere in that ad?

I’ve heard both sides from many different sources. My sister and brother in law race corvettes, vipers, lambourghinis and several other exotic cars (they’re getting one of the first ten Dodge Demons shortly) - the sponsor an annual toys for tots run on Florida’s I-95 (I think) w/ Lambos upwards...

I bought two rolls of lava glass fiber and wrapped from the headers to tailpipe extension. Made a YUGE difference in sound and heat. Trick to applying it I found was to do it in 3” ace-wrap lengths or shorter. A whole lot easier than threading the entire roll around the pipes - which is...

That behavior is common with HMMWV’s when the PCB (old style, KDS or whatever) dies. New box (the one you linked from HPG) is what you need. DISCONNECT battery ground FIRST (might consider installing one of the switches, it’s an easy enough thing to do) before tinkering with anything...
