    NOOB. Looking for a little help joining the gang.

    Did you tell them it was an AM General? I had no problem registering mine.

    Parasitic Draw

    What model truck? Does it have a functional dual voltage alternator? If it's a 3spd and no center tap to the batteries, how would only 1 die? They are wired in series, are they different amperage batteries? You should use a current meter in line and strategically disconnect stuff starting...

    What TSU?

    I'm not an expert but I believe the TSU with the Yellow band works with Smart Start boxes. There is also a CR-2696A TSU that is also a Yellow band and should work as well.

    NOOB. Looking for a little help joining the gang.

    I can tell you how Maine works. The year of your M998 comes into play. In Maine you need a title for any 1995 and up vehicle. You only need a bill of sale to register in Maine for 1994 and older. If your truck is 1994 or earlier, then it will be no problem. They wont even issue a title for...

    400 amp alternator replaceable bearing?

    I'd try replacing it using any method possible, worst case you still need a new one. As my signature says "If it doesn't fit, force it. If it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway".

    STE/ICE connector

    Having been an admin to a very large forum, I know first hand it's a thankless job and you can never make everyone happy. I only threw in my 2 cents because the guy only has 2 posts in 5 years and they are both in this thread. I hope he becomes a more active member and this is just the start...

    Q: Can I mount a rear winch with this bumper and retain the receiver?

    The cable might come out just below the receiver and possibly clear if the ball and mount were removed but it would limit your cable angle to down only. It would not be all that useable IMO. I had the same hitch but have no intention of towing anything so I removed it and went back to just the...

    This fell off my starter - do I need a new starter?

    I'm a fan of OEM rebuilt locally but I'd also by a OEM take off before any rebuilt at a auto parts store. I don't trust them anymore from years of experience.

    Do you have this manual yet?

    M1151A1

    Looks like Chrome and Edge have added more features to make everyone's life harder LOL. Try right clicking the link and select "Save link as". That should do it for you. This should work on a PC, not sure about phone.

    M1151A1

    Welcome. You need to start off with some TM's and wiring diagrams, etc. I've accumulated a lot of documentation and put a single file download in my signature that includes TM's and all kinds of stuff. One of the TM's says Wiring at the end and at the end of it are a bunch of wiring diagrams...

    This fell off my starter - do I need a new starter?

    There is a used one on epay for a reasonable price. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115727243837 And another one waiting for bids .. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145082956025

    Lots of Questions about 4L80E Swaps

    That all depends on what you have in place now. What engine, transmission and transfer case do you have and what are you changing to? Serpentine or v-belts? I believe there are different engine harnesses depending on the engine and transmission combination. There are even some combinations...

    Ludicrous Speed DECAL for speedometer

    You mean not available until you take it to a local printer. Order a regular one and go find a printer. Get 100 made and sell them. However instead of "Ludicrous Speed" consider changing it to "We Die like Men"

    Tachometer acting wacky

    First what model HMMWV do you have? Some Tachs are run by a tach drive in the back of the engine while others are hooked up to the alternator.

    No wonder I lost brake line pressure today

    Brakes... Who needs them? They just slow you down!

    Need a sample Humvee VIN number.

    I think your last sentence is wrong. It should read "So now we have countless agencies in 50 states full of morons". Carry on.
