Total battery.

I have 4 Hawkers, about 4 years old, with 1.8 volts in each. They have been sitting like this for at least a year. Is there hope to bring them back? What type charger and what voltage/ amp rate?

If only we had such a list, such as the one posted on SS yesterday but quickly deleted. I know the list contained all NSNs with Detriot Diesel power. No FMTVs though.

Grease it real good and run it, check every 50 miles for any change.

Had this happen to me, here is what happens: First you notice that unmistakable acrid smell of burning electronics. The voltage gauge will read low. Pull over fast and shut down. Disconnect batteries fast, 24v bank first. Check for flames. Let everything cool off. Remove all wires from...

Artisan, I have since been brought up to speed on the A/C install by reb87. The kit as supplied by Red Dot does not overload the puny transformer-rectifier 24v supply on the 14-20 ton vehicles. RD would have done quite a disservice to our servicepeople in the sandbox if this kit automatically...

I think the gear change option is Caiman axles. There are 1000's available at the moment at Premier Metal Buyers, Brenham, TX.

If you want to get your feet wet with MV's in Houston, volunteer at the National United States Armed Forces Museum on Wallisville Road in Houston. They have 2 museum HETs that are in need of tire-armorall-ing.

Re-gear looks like a possibility using Caiman MRAP axles as differential carrier donors. Allows 65 mph top speed.

When was the last time your injection pump was overhauled?

It appears you believe that the GP solenoid is somehow interconnected with the starter motor. It is not. The relay that activates the starter motor is located behind the dash next to the ash tray.

Won't crank? Batteries, cables or starter.

The component on the firewall behind the engine is the voltage dropping resistor bank. It is connected in series with all of your glow plugs. 24 volts flows through it when the glow plug solenoid clicks on. Smoke from it means it got oily.

Oh no, ke5eua is involved! Better just shoot it and put it out of it's misery. Actually, page 338 of the -20 has a good list of all the things to check for "cranks won't start". Faulty pulse wheel, wtf is that???

The "-20" is the unit maintenance manual. Full nomenclature is "TM9-2320-360-20-1" downloadable from a Google search thanks to member Igor Chudov. Most other manuals are available as well, such as the -10 operators. Spend some time reading, lots to be learned.

The -20 manual discusses loose wires on the engine run switch. I don't think DDEC is programmed to shut the engine off due to low/no oil pressure, only sound the check engine light/warning. DDEC has it's own pressure sensor.

Reb87 did not have any issues with having enough 24 volt ampacity using the Red Dot hmmwv kit on his M915.

If the 12V is not drooping or cutting out due to bad batteries, I would suspect the DDEC system. I would reseat all the connectors using dielectric grease.

. Thanks, ran into that at OKC, most quotes were 2X what they should have been because all the motor freight companies have been detained excessively due to GL being such a (insert your own term).

I that's from a Caiman then it's the usual FMTV dual 12V /24V circuitry, each socket being supplied independently from the in-cab relay/circuit breaker panel.
