    HMMWV injector pump bad or??

    Just cuz it’s clicking, does not mean the governor is allowing fuel to flow. take the top of the pump off and see how easy it is too actuate the lever, should be super easy to move with your pinky finger and it should spring back easily, I’ve had them literally frozen and still get some fuel out...

    No Start No Fuel Troubleshooting

    No fuel from return nipple means no fuel to head...even though your solenoid is clicking doesn’t mean it’s opening the fuel gate. Bad fuel is the number one reason these pumps get clogged or grenade internally.

    New M998 Fuel Tank Install

    You not going to find the original tank NOS, I personally haven’t seen one in 25yrs. for safety sake, get rid of the old ebrake system. I have thrown away numerous old style fuel tanks. I still have several I’ve kept for some odd reason, many folks pulling them out due to upgrade to 4L80e.

    intake gaskets for 1992 6.2 diesel

    First off, the factory does not use a gasket on valve covers, just straight RTV sealant, the key is a clean oil free application surface, followed by a NEW cover, do not reuse the old cover unless you want to be doing it again. Next up, you don’t need to remove the intake manifold, just undo the...
