    Alternator full fielded. Help

    Thank you! As I suspected, I do not want a 200a. It’s too big, I use little amperage for my LED lights, then it’s the blower motor and fuel pump, gauges. I don’t think you could run a simpler system. 3 speed. No electrical add ons other than a license plate light which is LED. Plus less stress...

    Disaster truck help needed

    Yes he took photos when he got the truck so I could see the red cables location. I was called in when he failed to extract the Broken alt mount bolts and it needed a cylinder head. Replaced the head and everything but the final steps are items I didn't take apart, and suspected incorrect parts.

    Disaster truck help needed

    I will try to get the data off the alternator. Thank you, I assume that the smaller cable will end up on the dual voltage regulator. Sources for that part? Good news on the trans light at least. I have a lot of the TMs, but it doesnt necessarily answer questions when the wrong parts are...

    Disaster truck help needed

    I’m not worried about WTS Lamp or trans light until I sort out the alt. They also send the truck missing the hydraulic lines for fan and the nose of the fan clutch is missing lol

    P/S pump install

    It’s a military pump. I guess I’m taking two bolts out of the bracket to pivot it. Man, they went so far forward with the hmmwv for its time, but Alt and P/S dept dropped the ball,

    P/S pump install

    I am working on a guys hmmwv for him. He local and couldn’t find a shop to do it. I have been a diesel tech for 20 years. His alt bracket had broken off, and he pulled it out on his own with the steering attached. But I reinstalled it without the pump so I could ensure proper mating and torque...

    Power Steering Pump Pulley Removal

    Man, sorry to bump the thread but I’m in the same boat on a friends truck. I have thermostat housing and hose off. But I can not get the pump down and into the mount. The return hose spigots on the back just don’t give me enough room. Did you take the bracket for the two idler pulleys off? His...

    Armoured grille -engine temp

    Ok. That’s for the input guys. Worst case I swap it back I guess. The thought that they ran them in the desert had occurred to me, but they also give no f&$@s about money, or ruining a truck, etc and I do. Lol

    Armoured grille -engine temp

    Guys, I think I know the answer but I’ll see if anyone will tell me anything else. I have the regular grille on my hood, but bought an armoured version. will this drive up engine temps? In the summer here it’s hot and humid, and I run to 220, fan on down to 205ish, and repeat depending on...

    Gap with tire carrier.

    Still has the little protrusions for flaps tho? I went with washers, at least I can wash out the gap and keep it dry I suppose .

    Gap with tire carrier.

    So if I mount the spare tire carrier over the mudflap hanger as it shows in all the images, I assume I use washers on the other side, there’s a small gap between bumper and tire carrier base? Thanks guys.

    Ballistic windshield in regular hard top frame

    Looking at putting the thicker glass windshields in my truck. There was a set for sale of the 5/8 or 3/4” glass with the thicker retainers. Before I bought, he offered to test fit them in a 998. They do not fit into the lower built in retainer for the bottom of the glass. And up top there’s a...

    M1165 lower windshield retainer

    What if you want to go the other way? mount the ballistic 3/4” glass in a regular window frame? What needs to be changed for the bottom? The top and centre are obvious. Thanks!
