I've been seeing that one for sale for a long time now on various places. Interesting concept, but ultimately it's much more useful to just have a separate generator to run whatever you need to

on the ones I've worked on, go from the driver's side top, and push down on the belt at the idler pulley over there. With a little body weight behind it, you can slip the belt right off that idler no problems. From there it's loose enough to get it off of the other idler, and then the...

I'll agree with not really needing it for civilian use. With the rubflat lubricant you can run 30 miles at 30 miles per hour. In the civilian world, you just need to get to the nearest safe spot to either change the tire, or to get recovered.

One other thing, your truck does require a 12V feed to power the transmission control module. The 60 amp gen and aftermarket 24V alternators do NOT have a 12V feed. If you try to go that route you will have to figure out some way to feed 12V to the rear battery to keep the TCM functional and not...

as long as it shows oil pressure and it goes up and down with engine RPMs. Don't trust the gauges to be accurate, just keep an eye on how they behave,, and if they start acting differently then worry. As long as the fan kicks in, temp drops 10-20 degrees then kicks off again, then cooling...

Odds are very high it's complete BS Just this month the DLA got told to stop scrapping everything and send it out to be distributed to agencies that want it or sold to the public. At worst someone up top is going to try playing more games and not release them, but from all reports that...

The transmission will do fine with either DEX VI or DEX III. They will both work the same for you. The only real benefit is only having to keep one spare fluid on hand rather than two or three different ones.

So DEX II was replaced by DEX III in all applications a long time ago. Then about 20 years ago they came out with DEX VI Not long after DEX VI came out GM started having an increased failure rate in transfer cases and gearboxes. They put out a bulletin that basically says that DEX VI should...

isn't cavitation only an issue with the wet liner type engines, not cast cylinder blocks?

no idea, but since the paint is shiny, and there is nothing on the HMMWV that's normally painted shiny, I don't think it goes to it. I could be wrong though

reduce value immensely? Nope Reduce value a little bit? Maybe, depends on the buyer. A couple hundred in parts usually.

measure the diameter of the pulley. To me it looks too small, but without a good size reference we could be wrong.

if it hasn't been cranked over, then it can likely be torn down, thoroughly cleaned in a hot tank, and then reassembled with minimal new parts. If someone cranked it over, toss it and get a new one.

if it was me I'd do it from underneath the truck, aimed at the crankshaft pulley. That's pretty much the only thing that is guaranteed to be at crankshaft speed.

for the 101/116 series there are some people that claim they can tilt. They can sort of, but it wasn't designed for it and can break the frame if you do it just a little too much/too far. Definitely not recommended.

pulley size definitely affect it. The earlier trucks used a drive off the oil pump for the tach. With the turbo on there there is no room for that drive, so instead it takes a signal from the generator, and since that's belt drive, changing the pulley size affects how fast the generator spins...

The tach is a handheld unit. You just point the end at the moving object to see how many times per minute the shiny tape you put on it goes past. In this case you'd want something on the crankshaft, as that's the speed you are trying to determine. However, the added information that you have...

just to verify, what generator do you have in your truck? As the other thread said, if it's the 400 amp then it has a smaller pulley and will change what the tach reads.

the one he linked there just requires a shiny spot on a moving object in order to get it's RPMs. It comes with a strip of shiny tape. You put a piece of tape on one side of the rotating object, and every time it goes past a light from the tach gets reflected back at it. You'll likely have...

Good news, looks like we WILL be holding the rally this year, 3rd weekend of July, in the same place as usual in Winlock WA. Details will be in the PNW SS facecrook page
