    HMMWV M1123 Serpentine Belt Question

    it's divided by serial number. Pre 196900 uses shorter belt, after 196900 serial number uses longer belt. Easiest visual cues are the remote power steering reservoir on top of the engine, and an idler pulley between the alternator and power steering pump. Remote reservoir and extra idler are...

    Most rods are steel with a thin coating of copper these days.

    Ground Rod driver

    Only problem with using power tools to drive the rod is you sometimes try to just pound the rod after you should have stopped. I remember hearing one electrician talking about how he had finally gotten the rod driven almost all the way into the ground, squatting down to drive it that last little...

    Got a bit of a weird fuel thing to me anyway at least it SEAMS to be a fuel thing.

    Opening the drain with it running was how I determined that my lift pump had failed. Injection pump will suck air in through the drain, and you won't get it started again without fixing the issue. Lift pump is relatively inexpensive and not that difficult to replace, other than being careful...

    Got a bit of a weird fuel thing to me anyway at least it SEAMS to be a fuel thing.

    Just trying to make sure I understand what you are saying. Engine off, no fuel from filter drain (normal) Engine running, no fuel from filter drain (not normal) You opened up filter housing and replaced filter, it had fuel in it. Sounds like fuel delivery issue before the filter. That...

    Alternator availability for M1097A2 HMMWV. Will this fit? What fits?

    V-belt trucks can have 60 amp, 100 amp, or 200 amp alternators I don't believe there are 400 amp ones, but there might be a few) Serpentine belt trucks can have either 200 or 400 amp alternators. 1097R1 trucks can be either V belt or serpentine, usually depending on whether it's a 3 speed...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    So got a message about a motorcycle that went off the trail and down a slope that needed recovered (I volunteer in my area for off road vehicle recoveries that tow trucks won't go to) Used the tow bar to get a little more height on the lift It went pretty straight forward. Bike was in...

    Alternator availability for M1097A2 HMMWV. Will this fit? What fits?

    all A2 trucks should have the 200 amp, unless they have the 400 amp. If there is a lift ring in the top of the alternator then it;s the 400, but 200 is MUCH more likely.

    Gear ratio

    The gauges are pretty much only there for reference, not to be treated as accurate. As long as the gauges are showing the same results under the same operating conditions, don't worry about them. When they start showing you something different, then you start worrying. Feltz tire is 100%...

    Mep-802a temp gauge reading.

    First step is always verify. If you still have the old gauge I'd reinstall it and see if it goes back to your old readings, just for comparison's sake. An IR thermometer used at the sending unit in the block to verify the temp would also be very useful. I know in my HMMWV I've had to do...

    MEP-803A Fuel Gauge Pinned at about 95 Hours on the Clock

    For oil extractor I've been using an Extoil brand manual extractor for about 2 years now for my business and it's held up excellent. They appear to be unavailable from the place I bought it, but found one on ebay for about what I paid. Bought it for my VW engine (I don't have to put it up on...

    Anybody have a part number for a mat

    Insulation, tunnel Top NSN 2540-01-610-6115 I didn't find it in the manuals either, but midwest had an image of it in their "cab interior / insulation" parts and an NSN to look up from there. Of course they have none available and no price, but a search of the NSN did turn it up elsewhere...

    M1151 steering gear box rebuild kit

    Parts are typically separated by serial number, so if you know your truck's serial number that will also help.

    Fixing the 1998 HMMWV

    Not sure if the newer paint cans suffer the same issue, but the older cans they used seemed to have issues if they sat for too long, even brand new. Purchasing directly from Rapco is the easiest way to get the freshest cans of paint.

    HMMWV Radiator hose part numbers, can anyone help?

    Radiator hoses will be the same for either, but the R1 series is a bit of an oddball (recapitalization program trucks that started out as either 3 or 4 speed and upgraded to heavy suspension). For other parts, if you have a 3 speed use the M1097A1 for parts, if it's 4 speed use the M1097A2 for...

    INI Power Systems IG1000-ICMF Info

    Most things that run on JP-8 will run just fine on diesel fuel. Diesel isn't quite as clean as JP-8, but that usually isn't an issue for most engines. If it were mine I would start putting a load on it and see if it runs any better. Diesel engines like to run hot to properly burn the fuel...

    KIS1 wiring instructions

    I think it gets wired in series with the neutral safety switch, as the truck won't crank if it doesn't see that circuit.

    BATTERY CHARGER FRIED STUFF...???

    If it was incorrectly hooked up, was the wrong type, or wrong voltage, then yes, it is possible to fry the start box. Typically they get fried by connecting/disconnecting the start box wiring while the batteries are still connected. You won't fry glow plugs with a battery charger. You'd have...
