    Glowplug controller question

    RWH :wink: - I was frustrated because I couldn't get this truck figured out and after many hours of searching and reading past post on the issue all I seem to come up with was a bunch of **** that didn't make any sense to me or the others ops asking about the pcb (posted by you most of the...

    Glowplug controller question

    Thanks everyone for their input. I agree with a lot of points and the the rest are completely silly. I am definitely a do-er and will ask 100000000x questions to anyone until I understand. I have very limited time to work on my HMMWV but I enjoy figuring it out and working on it. I have a great...

    Glowplug controller question

    I'm well aware of normal acronyms like BTW, I am talking about much more complicated items apparently with different names jdhfjdshfkjdshkfnre/ ejhfjbfjebefw systems...... But be warned, people get pissed if you have a question on this forum..... They are wayyyyy tooooo smart for your ignorance.....

    Glowplug controller question

    He definitely does know his stuff when it comes to these trucks. I agree about the TM's and they like to use a foreign language too. I hate to be so stupid but **** it's like everyone's talking to you in a different language when you ask a simple question.

    Glowplug controller question

    Thank you for the input as you seem to have a lot of knowledge on this system. I am trying my best to learn but it's a little difficult when the the ones with the knowledge try and use every acronym known to man (EESS, PCB, BOX, S3, GPC, GP, STE/ICE, TSU) when trying to explain something new to...

    Glowplug controller question

    Hmm thanks for the post. Based off of that I don't have a TSU, instead I have a GPC. I've read that GPC's are often faulty. Wonder if I should just replace that instead of a $650 box???

    Glowplug controller question

    Another off topic question but when I was digging around trying to find the problem I noticed that I have a 192c7-122589312 yellow sensor in the back center of the block and I looked up the p/n and it seems to be a tachometer sensor which I don't have a tach so why would I have a sensor???

    Glowplug controller question

    So while I am mechanically inclined, my 89' M998 is the first diesel and 24v system so I am a little unsure of what some of the components are. A few weeks back my "wait" light started to come on for just a second then go off but it still started fine. It did that a few times and then started...

    12 volt conversion

    I ordered a 100 amp Vanner equalizer, hope that will do the trick

    Cadilac valve?

    Gear Vendors Overdrive unit

    Driveshafts arent a problem, I can easily have them modified. The 4l80e swap seems too complicated. Have to add a TPS, 12v signal, different shifter and I don't know for sure but probably I doubt the np218 will bolt to it (and can't seem to find an adaptor) so would have to find a different...

    Gear Vendors Overdrive unit

    Anyone??

    12 volt conversion

    I've thought about this and will most likely go this route but would be nice to be able to hook up to whatever trailer and not worry about it but not a huge deal. Thanks for the input

    12 volt conversion

    Not looking to pull a loaded car hauler but would like to pull my trailers with lights.

    12 volt conversion

    Thanks for the recommendation but I've already bought an M998, and slowly adding creature comforts.

    Gear Vendors Overdrive unit

    Has anyone used this on a m998? I wanted to order one, however, when I called GV they said that they don't make on for all wheel drive such as the Humvee. I have seen many people recommend them to Humvee owners on the forums so was just curious if anyone has actually used one?

    12 volt conversion

    So you take the stock alternator our and replace it with 2 alternators? Do they make a kit for this? Also how would that fix the problem with trailer wiring being 24v?

    12 volt conversion

    So after doing some thinking about adding an equalizer to run 12v appliances such as radio, electronic transmission etc I am now wondering if it may be easier and more useful to convert my 88 M998 to 12v. I think it would be a lot more practical and also in order to pull my car hauler I would...

    24v system

    So how do you wire this up? a hot and ground on one battery then connect whatever you have through the fuses or odes it connect through both batteries? How do you do this? Just connect a multi meter to each battery to make sure the voltage is the same?

    24v system

    Does the unit work as an equalizer without the solar panel? I really don't like the idea of running a solar panel off of the vehicle. I cant find clear instructions on the unit but it seems as it only works with a solar panel.
