Would you trust going out into a combat situation with an engine worked on by a teenager that never even looked under the hood of a car before they joined up 6 months previously? Doing a job like that right can sometimes take almost as long as just yanking out the engine and shoving in a new...

Supposedly there are some for heavy equipment that will work and not burn everything up, but you won't find them labeled for HMMWV use. I'm sure at some point someone linked one that would work to a thread on here in the past, but I didn't pay attention. Way too many chinese made switches on...

it's kind of important. I've heard of more than one tire that managed to get inflated, but didn't want to deflate because of rubber blocking the valve stem area. Definitely not a common issue, but also preventable.

as a matter of fact... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/connector-to-hmmwv-200-amp-umbilical-not-slave-cable-plug.194519/

reading the whole thread, he's replaced the injector multiple times and still has it happening

the runflat should also have a notch in one spot for the valve stem

Isn't SECO the company that got a big fine for selling the military knock off parts, or was that someone else?

Another thought, did it come from the military with the 200 amp alternator installed, or was it done afterwards? The 200 amp uses larger cables than the 60 amp, and they should be routed over to the starter solenoid if I remember correctly, whereas the 60 amp wire went to the control box and...

When you're flooring the accelerator and the trans kicks down, the entire engine/transmission assembly does some twisting against it's mounts. The only thing I can think of is you have a bad wiring connection between the alternator and the batteries somewhere that is getting affected by this...

the 200 amp has a lot of mass, so belts could slip if loose. Your description of it only happening when the engine is revving up under heavy load though would make me suspect it doesn't have anything to do with the belts, as even if slipping the alternator shouldn't be dropping in speed when...

How old are your batteries and have you had them tested? I noticed a few issues with the voltage not staying steady when I had a bad battery once upon a time.

The 90 amp rating is likely just the startup surge; actual running amps would likely be a lot less than that. It would have to have something like 6 gauge cable in order to have a continuous 90 amp draw. I don't suppose anyone posted what the duty cycle is on it? The days of finding those...

I posted this on our FB group, so will put it here also If everyone doesn't mind moving it forward by one week, I have the space to do it the weekend of the 13/14th here in McCleary. We would also be in the McCleary Bear Festival parade, which is a little smaller than the Napavine one, but not...

Just for an update, I've now talked to several other people with sheared off exhaust stud and sheared off bolts in the front, the same thing as mine did. They have gone to the newer style bracket with no difficulty and are very happy with the upgrade.

my truck has started in frozen weather with at least 4 bad glow plugs, maybe more. I've replaced 3 of them so far. It does put out quite a bit of smoke for the first 10-20 seconds or so, but runs perfectly after that. I'd say for only 2 stck glow plugs it isn't worth the time/money to tear it...

The idler pulleys use a replaceable bearing in them that isn't that hard to change out. If nothing else keep a few of them on hand. 6203 bearings, 2 per idler.

Next step is see what voltage you have at the glow plugs.

Mine squeaked when my belt was out of alignment. Alternator bracket had the rear brace stud on the exhaust sheared off, and that put extra stress on the front bolts, two of which sheared off and the third loosened. Ended up replacing the rear bracket with the newer one. If your serial number...
