Sir Thanks for the info. It makes sense. As soon as the weather (snow) gets better I will check it out. Ken

Hi When the engine is cold the solenoid will disengage after one or two turns. Once she is warmed up from either the block heater or from been driven she will start right away . My thought is that the starter solenoid is the problem. I hope that this is making sense . Ken

HI The starter will disengage after a couple of cycles . Each time it will cycle maybe once or three or four times and then disengage. Sometimes it will stay engaged and start the engine. If I have it plugged in a couple hours to warm it up, then she will start right away. When she is all...

Hi I would say it is disengaging from the flywheel and spinning to a stop. Ken

Hi When I try starting her she will turn over but disengage . Sometimes she will stay engage long enough to start . Once she is warmed up she's fine. Is this a problem with the starter or the solenoid ? Has anyone used a rebuild kit with any luck? Ken

Hi I have a 1991 and when I'm driving , I hear a whistling like sound and when the fan kicks in it get's much louder. I'm thinking It my be something with the fan assembly but what I'm not sure. Belts seem to be tight. Any ideas? Ken

Good day Question, is it normal for the fan belts to bounce up and down when she is running? I have adjusted the tension on them with no change. Thanks Ken

Hi everyone I lucked out. I did have the wiring wrong from the regulator to the alternator. I corrected it and I am now running in the green. I want to thank everyone for your help. If it wasn't for this forum I would be at a loss several times. Thanks again Ken

Hi I pulled the voltage regulator off. There are 4 spade connectors on this regulator and just three wires from the alternator. I may have installed them to the wrong locations. Is there something showing where these should be connected? I may have to get another regulator. You think I would...

Hi OK, I adjusted the screw on the voltage regulator and it made no difference in the voltage. I have 24 volts going to the regulator and I am reading 24 volts on the alternator. Could you tell me what the small ring terminal wire on the alternator is for and if it should have any voltage...

Hi Gentlemen, I made a mistake in the title. I replaced the voltage regulator not the alternator. I have a 60 amp unit. I will check out the 5a wire. Also I did not adjust the screw. Is this to adjust the voltage output? Ken

HI Replaced the voltage regulator and brushes but still in the yellow. Measured voltage at the voltage regulator with her running and measured 24 volts. Question? Am I reading just the battery voltage at this point? Is there a way I can measure just the alternator output? Other ideas? Ken

Hi I have added a regular trailer hitch to my Humvee . I have it wired right now for 24 v but want to change it to 12v . Not sure what would be the best way. Need ideas. Ken

Hi Thanks for the P/N but I still can't find a source. Ken

Need help where to buy brush set for my alternator. Ken

Hi I think your right. I have ordered a new voltage regulator. Will see if that takes care of it. Thanks all for the help. Ken

Hi everyone I haven't had time to do all of your ideas witch I will be doing. I did drive into town today, about 25 miles and the gage went into the green for about 20 minutes. But when I stopped and started again it was back into the yellow and stayed there all the way home. When I got home, I...

Hi My Humvee is a 1991. The generator is a 60 amp , 28 volt Prestolite AMA5104UT. Ken

Hi Ok, with the batteries charged up and the engine running, my volt gage runs in the middle of the yellow. I added leads across the gage, and it is reading around 22 volts. As I drive her the gage will run down to the bottom of the yellow and still read about 22 volts. Is there a way I can...
