So somehow the TACOM brand can make and sell them at 1/3 the cost of any other U.S. manufacturer/seller? I checked the Amazon listing for the tank. First it says "Country/Region of Manufacture: United States" Then later is states "Non-Domestic Product: Yes" So it's a U.S. made product that...

So just putting this information out there in case anyone else needs it. My truck is an M1123 with the 6.5 engine and serpentine belt setup. It has the Sanden compressor for the RedDot aircon in it. That part is probably important, as the belt length does not match what the manual says it...

If you are pairing it to a specific trailer, make sure you change the bulbs in it to multi-voltage LEDs so they will run of 12 or 24V the same, otherwise you'll either blow the 12V bulbs when hooked to the HMMWV, or you'll have extremely dim bulbs when hooked to 12V and using 24V bulbs. If all...

Yup, very true. I assume that's why more people with older trucks don't do the upgrade. Not that very many of us in the civilian world really NEED 5kw of electrical generation, but occasionally it's nice (like the 1kw inverter in my BEOD that I can run power tools off of)

Unless something isn't properly tightened, or something is worn out (like a bushing or ball joint or something) then alignment shouldn't really change. Keep in mind the 3k mile check is primarily for trucks in the military, where you get boneheaded privates seeing just how badly they can abuse...

60 amp is bolted to the back of the assembly, not a separate assembly (and a heck of a lot cheaper to replace) TrailworthyFab sells them for about $260 shipped for a used one. Looking around, new ones are in the $500+ range. On the 200 amp the regulator is external to the generator, just a big...

I just bought one of the smaller tube style H1 brush guards. It won't work on the A2 HMMWV without modification. The place where it bolts to the truck is where the teardrop shackles are at the end of the frame rails. Looking at the top picture, it looks like it's probably the same mount place...

If you spent less than about $250 on the expansion tank, there is a 99% chance it was a chinese import, and those are known to have major issues. Mine was cracked when I bought my truck (with only 32 miles on it) and at the time an OEM tank was about the same price as an aftermarket aluminum...

replaced the faulty voltage regulator in my truck (200 amp system) Part took almost 3 weeks to get here from when I ordered it, and Fedex couldn't make up their mind (6 different emails with shipping updates). A whole 30 minutes after it got here truck was up and running again (and only took...

Yup, I'll admit I'm mildly confused. So either you have a neutral/ground bond in the generator or you have it at the service entry breaker. I mean, I know it isn't so much of a problem because the neutral and ground only have to be bonded in one location, what I don't get is why you are...

I'm not either, but there aren't a lot of good options. The kit I linked is supposed to be installed where the fording valve goes, if you don't have the fording kit.

I installed a keyed disconnect for mine, the disconnect itself is right next to the transmission diagnostic port by the doghouse (not my picture, but I don't feel like putting on shoes at the moment)...

While I don't have one of those, the military rates all of it's equipment for cross country loads, not on highway. From what I've seen, you can usually double the military's capacity rating (but without double checking the axle rating from the manufacturer, do so at your own risk)

When they loaded me in the past from the Chehalis yard they had a set of chains so they could lower it into a trailer if needed, rather than using the forks underneath it. It was an 802A that I picked up (over a year ago now) but I hauled it behind my car on an aluminum 5x8 trailer rated for...

or you can do a keyed battery disconnect, they tend to use a universal key but not many people carry forklift keys with them.

Always disconnect the battery before doing ANYTHING. It might not fry it by having the battery hooked up, but then again it might. It's just much safer overall. Also a very good habit to get into anyway (or just install a battery disconnect switch on the ground anyway)

no, I don't know. You MIGHT be able to contact Red Dot and ask them. There is always the chance that you can remove the relay and find a part number of some type printed on it. Another option might be take it into a specialty electronics store and ask them if they can identify it. Red Dot...

My guess would be that either one of the switches or the wiring is having some type of issue. It's not a complicated system, if it's working correctly then: The manual I linked earlier has a troubleshooting section that, while it isn't specific for the HMMWV, it does cover the basics. Go to...

Yeah, my truck is down for a failed regulator right now.

Niehoff website has troubleshooting guides to follow and will diagnose what the bad component is. Yours is the N1225 generator with N3135 regulator. https://www.ceniehoff.com/Documents/Ctrl_Hyperlink/TG0017B_uid882013200562.pdf
