    Have you tried CSM tires?

    Did I toast my 6.2 engine somehow, and how do you jump a 24v HMMWV?

    I was thinking that, but, would the meter only hold the high voltage? I know my Flukes have that function, but it has been a hot minute since I needed to not look at the display and see low volts, the meter is usually within eyecrometer site.

    Yeah, I knew that, but I have not read where he did, only checking VDC.

    FAV in Utah or Nevada

    Does anybody here frequent YouTube and watch either Heavy D Sparks or Jimmy's world? The reason why I ask is a few months ago Sparks went to a place either in Utah or Nevada and looked at a bunch of military stuff,planes, helicopters mv's etc. A few days ago, James Webb AKA Jimmy's world went to...

    Did I toast my 6.2 engine somehow, and how do you jump a 24v HMMWV?

    @Retiredwarhorses, low amps too. Just because there is 13VDC at the batteries doesn't mean the power supply has the amps to push the voltage to do what needs to be done. Load test the batteries to rule that out. DVOM on the batteries or starter solenoid and see what the voltage drops to. Better...

    Did I toast my 6.2 engine somehow, and how do you jump a 24v HMMWV?

    If you can turn it and it does not stop, it isn't hydro locked. The "stiff" spots are most likely just the pistons coming up to tdc and going over the hump. Put some juice in the batteries, give them a load test to see how they hold a load and give it a shot if they test good. Nothing changed...

    Need advice please: transmission control module for 2008 Case Backhoe loader 580 SMii (industrial BHL backhoe loader)

    Since the ho is a milsurp thing, maybe try some of the vehicle dealers like Memphis Equip, White Owl, Eastern Surplus and the likes. Try contacting C&C equipment, they might have pieces parts or know where to send the TCM for repair. @murfsmog, are you Domorguy over on heavy equip forums? That...

    forum update or not?

    I can say, I have not seen a post centered, only the one time I was typing. I do look at quite a few posts. I figured it was an update that triggered the settings. I just fixed what I saw on my end. I am using Chrome.

    Did I toast my 6.2 engine somehow, and how do you jump a 24v HMMWV?

    OR, it has had 2 failed starters. 1st one failed by not spinning the bendix out, who knows, maybe just gummed up. 2nd starter, although rebuilt, who knows how long and what conditions it has been stored/sitting, maybe wrong pieces installed, the bendix isn't spinning out on that either. OR low...

    forum update or not?

    You can change it like in Windows on the tool bar. I noticed it a couple of days ago while messaging with someone. In the middle of typing, it switched to center. I thought I somehow hit the tool bar and changed it!

    M816 Wrecker - General Questions

    There is an 816 up for sale. It is a tow company vehicle based out of Santa Clarita, Ca, but, I think the truck is in Monterey Park. They have contacted the Museum about donating it to us, I did some looking. THEY think it is a 543, but it is an 816. It is a working truck, maintained for heavy...

    Found a gas powered wrecker

    The 6602 in the M62 had HORRIBLE fuel consumption. No kidding, 4 gallons of fuel used in a 30 min operation of the upper. It always had black smoke, kept dropping holes after cleaning the plugs. It was much worse before the Zenith install. Last week I put some civilian NGK plugs in it with...

    m1070 no exhaust brake? and A/C?

    IIRC, DDEC still uses the switch up on the blower. Could be un plugged or out of adjustment or been removed.

    m1070 no exhaust brake? and A/C?

    It might be a good idea to make a visit to the TM section and find the TM that has the wiring diagram in it. Again, I do not know the HET, the above is a generic TS guide. There might be electronics involved, like DDEC or a trans TCU. EDIT, Just looked at the HET via Wikipedia. It is indeed...

    m1070 no exhaust brake? and A/C?

    While I don't know a bunch about the 1070, I do know a bit about the jakes. Some things on that set up to look at, power, like others have said, if there is power, look at the trans lock up solenoid, if unplugged it will not complete the circuit, IIRC it is a normally open switch, you can just...

    M915A1 engine choices

    CPL 891 was a Cummins ReCon CPL. It was generated because in order to update the 531 and a bunch of other 400HP engines, like the 614 MVT engine, it needed to be EPA certified. The 891 is just the updated older CPL. Things updated were piston dome, ring pack and placement of the ring set on the...

    The next Project an ASMH

    OK, this looks like the final update on the M62 revival!! We installed a Zenith carb, it made the 6602 start better and run somewhat better, but we have had an issue with dropping random cylinders. When the plug is removed, it is fouled. Clean it, re install and it runs fine for a bit and then...
