    New style power steering pump

    Let me add, when initial starting, don't let the pump go dry...anything more then 5 secs can ruin the pump. Start it and turn it right off, add fluid, wait for the foam to settle and clear, start again. Run the winch, check the fluid...repeat.

    New style power steering pump

    Do you have the MM plumbed correctly? While there are only 2 lines, they have to land on the correct fitting. left is hydro-boost and right is steering gear.

    New to forum help with volts/amps

    the generator is not charging....there is an adjust screw for output under the hex plug on the top of the generator. of cranking it all the up does not yield more output, 27.5-28.5 volts? The regulator is shot. 24.7 is 12.3-12-4 volts per battery.

    12bolt run flats with 24bolt rims

    Never seen those run flats...the military uses 1 piece rubber run flats in all newer 12 and 24 bolts rims. They act as a head lock as well. the 8 bolt rim uses a magnesium 2 piece run flat, not for use in the newer rims.

    Manual Override of Glow Plug Controller

    Replace the box, make it right...a lot of other components and operations run through it. If the box really goes Tango uniform, you can loose charging of the battery's and a host of other issues.

    New power steering pump

    it was posted here that a non OEM pump would not suffice for a MM winch application....so now you need to replace it with a OEM pump to confirm this. I do know it's stated on HPG's website.

    Original Marine HMMWV Auction

    No one unit turn is all there trucks....the trucks were put in strategic reserve fleet, then auctioned off. Vehicles for the most get dumped out once they become economically not repairable or outdated...that's why some many M1114's are being scrapped. Others like MRAP's just have no use once...

    How To Repair HMMWV EESS S3

    they are talking about the obsolete green label EESS, I personally don't like that box. What I like about the S3 EESS is they did away with after glow, I hate the 2mins of On and off.

    What the heck is this thing on my 6.5 GEP Engine?

    that is correct. But both of these don't get used unless you have the associated wires in your body harness. Just depends on how new your harness is. You will find it on ECV harnesses, but I have seen it on N/A harnesses as well on later style NA trucks.

    What the heck is this thing on my 6.5 GEP Engine?
