I've been following your posts with much interest and have a great respect for your knowledge and experience. If I'm reading THIS post correctly, can I assume you mean to say glow plugs don't matter AND the S3 box is the main element in the problem a lot of us are having with these trucks and...

Turns out BOTH the sellers I'd mentioned are selling Wellman plugs, which is what I installed, apparently (3HCM3 being WAP, LLC's MFR code), the "0.0000007% failure rate" line got my attention and it's exactly what all the other wellman sellers put on their webpages). From my photos, it looks...

Awesome, thanks a bizillion. The NOMENCLATURE hung me up. "PLATE,DESIGNATION" I'd never guess. "Shift" and "Gear Shift" I searched for in 24P-1 and it didn't come up for some reason, but using the part (not NSN) number there it was, and soon will be gracing my very own "GROUP 0803 GEAR...

To the left of the transfer case shift lever on the left is a riveted silk-screened aluminum indicator plate marked H/L H N L ( I think, it's VERY worn and the operator's manual shows what should be there). I've dug around the parts books, 24P-1, 2, 3 and several of the usual parts sites and am...

PS Magazine. Man, it's been a long time. I'd gone to that site once and couldn't quite figure out how to navigate it, I'll give it another try. Meanwhile, I hope you didn't lose any sleep over this (sounds like you did). Thank you, a lot. Norm

PM Magazine? Your google-fu must be superior to my training, master, I can't find anything of the sort. You wouldn't happen to have that cartoon handy, would you? -Grasshopper

A new set of glowplugs did the job for ME. Cranks FAST, but have only tested at 38 to 45 degrees F. Going to get a little colder this week and I'll see if the cold advance is working below 35 degrees. So much information... I just saw an army cartoon to that effect "Your HMMWV doesn't get...

Amish? Mein Gott im Himmel! I think you mean "Lucas electric" headlight system. ;-)

Backup lights? these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WE47ZUI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 10 watts each, ALMOST have a control box rigged. It's my NEXT big project. I think. Would be nice to have backup lights, fog, driving light (a two-in-one bar that'll mount on the...

They're my son's. He's been drumming since he was ten. Shoulda got him started 8 years earlier. Keeps him off the streets at night.

Replaced steering column. Tied up some wiring, installed a charging port. Why? I'd been told there WAS no "slotted tab" design on these steering colums, but that's what's in mine. Was. Broken. Broken aluminum insert, broken "hook" on the tab. I actually came across a picture of this style...

Well, it's like this... Steering column was one of the originals with the little aluminum tabs that fit into slots. Over time those tabs and "hook" part of the slot broke off. I'd posted a picture or two somewhere here months back and was told there WERE no slotted columns. I'll post a photo...

I called the MVA in Glen Burnie about this, spoke with a specialist and she said just file the title as it read. SIX digits. Never even had to get it inspected under historic use (I can always upgrade when I finally get the backup lights wired in if I lose my mind or win the lottery, it's like...

Sweet. Have fun. I know I am. (not one iota of sarcasm there) Norm

Hokay... That's 3 hours of my life I'll never get back. I replaced the cold advance switch yesterday afternoon, engine blew white diesel smoke, cranked and cranked, but no start. Temp was about 40 degrees. Well, I'd planned on replacing the glowplugs anyway, so that was today: First 7...

Thanks. I've got a Nartron smart start sytem, mfr-32498. Beast started right up when temps were 50-70, now it cranks several seconds and blows white smoke briefly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for posting this. I'm troubleshooting the same/similar issue. Hard starting in cold weather, blows out unburnt fuel for a few seconds, warms up, very smooth running after about a minute. Remembered a "smashed switch" I glanced at in the right rear of the engine when I was putting a new...

There're two upright tabs at the rear of the rack aligned with the straps. They're clearer in the second photo. These go up and behind the bumper when the clamps are shut and prevent the rack from sliding.

Amazing. I imagine the HMMWV jack with the stud on top would work even better. I'll give it a try. THANK YOU. Norm

Finally got the backup lights wired in - running off 12V battery right now - working on a switch panel for the "dash" - I'll post pics of that when it's complete/mounted.
