    Removing / Dropping the Fuel Tank on a M1165A1 ECV

    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    First off, that spraying injector is allowing air into the system, hence the rough idle, as well as incomplete fuel being introduced into the combustion chamber. The loud clacking is normal for a cold NA 6.5, this goes away after the cold advance expires, it’s also louder if you have an over...

    Serpentine belt tensioner out of adjustment?

    if you didn’t remove the additional positive and negative cables required of 400amp and did not change out the Gen/PS bracket, than you had a 200amp. Buy a new correct length belt…

    M1165

    use a 13mm or1/2in deep dish socket through the oil filler hole…the bolts do take a dab of red locktite. use a mirror to line up the holes, use the generator pulley nut to rotate the crank while you look through the mirror to line up the hole. Pull the generator pulley nut towards you to rotate...
