    200 A alternator probably shot - but why, and what now ?

    Seems to be the consensus. We'll get it ordered and keep you guys posted! I believe the Regulator was causing the gennie to overcharge - which would trip the Overvoltage Cutout (OVCO). Manual says replace regulator and try again. I'll keep the group posted! Ironic how a few hours after I...

    200 A alternator probably shot - but why, and what now ?

    Amazing guys - much appreciated. I think I found my answer. Page 6, Chart 3b. Ohms from pins A to D = 2.2 (within spec). Follow onto Ohms from pins A to B = OL. Next step is to replace the regulator. Anyone have any weird exceptions or special cases that may apply before I throw another...

    200 A alternator probably shot - but why, and what now ?

    So - Similar issue I'd love some guidance on. My truck has the Niehoff N-1225-1 200A and a N3135 regulator. When I start the truck, charges as normal then creeps to overcharge (mid-red on gauge) then upon blipping throttle, spikes past red limit. 30 seconds of this, battery guage drops...

    Bullet proof windshield

    Hey Action, Pricing out what a 'ballistic' windshield project would cost me. Delamination appears to be an issue w/ most grey market items - which leads me to your comment. How would one remove lamination? I have a guy here in town who can apply 'ballistic' lamination, which would be a...

    HMMWV Serpentine Belt Issue - 6.5L

    Wow - Makes sense w/ the bracketry. In the event you do have to negotiate the issue of bent brackets, which i would view as a can of worms in trying to bend back correctly, I would suggest great care w/ figuring out exactly how much each accessory pulley needs to be spaced inward or outward...

    HMMWV Serpentine Belt Issue - 6.5L

    Possibly bad picture? I assure you it’s correct.

    HMMWV Serpentine Belt Issue - 6.5L

    The pulley was bent inward, shortening length of required belt and putting the Sanden pulley out of alignment or square w the rest of the pulleys - just barely. ALSO - SUCCESS!! Two washers in two of the upper mounting points, pushing the Sanden rearward. Two washers roughly = 1 rib. I...

    HMMWV Serpentine Belt Issue - 6.5L

    Okay I believe I found the problem. I purchased/installed a Micro-V 25-081264. After 20 minutes, belt climbed rearward on the sandin pulley by 1 rib. The serpentine version I have is: I believe when my last belt tensioner blew out of the spring housing, the pulley flopped to the passenger...

    HMMWV Serpentine Belt Issue - 6.5L

    Hey ACTION, The Sandin is the trouble pulley. I have never before seen this. I'll either reset the pulley to the correct rib or it will already be correct, but upon start, I'll notice the belt climb just one rib toward the cab (rearward) and ride up there. I'll kill the motor and it will...

    HMMWV Serpentine Belt Issue - 6.5L

    I certainly don't intend on driving it this way, however, I'll reset and correct the belt placement then upon starting motor - climbs over that rib every single time. Belt seems stable once it climbs over that one rib - but still not correct. Still troubleshooting. If anyone else has any...

    HMMWV Serpentine Belt Issue - 6.5L

    I've having the identical issue w/ the 6.5 1123 w/ reddot AC. Did the new belt (micro V 25 NAPA) fix the rib-jumping issue? Always placed correctly then upon start, immediately jumps a rib.

    Lizard Skin Questions

    IDMACK3 - Great questions! Any trouble with adhesion? Pretty pricy and want to avoid failures. How meticulous were you in prepping? Zero problems w/ adhesion. My prepping included rotary sanding drill attachments - like most people would use on an angle grinder. I scuffed the CARC...

    Lizard Skin Questions

    Hey TJones - GREAT STUFF!!!! I've sprayed 2gal of both the sound deadener and the ceramic thermal insulator product by Lizard Skin w/ their spray gun they sell. After developing a system for pouring more product from bucket to (tiny) spray-gun hopper (major pain in the butt), it went well! I...

    Sound deadening and custom interior install project

    Haven't done anything w/ the turret yet. I plan on devising a way to more effectively seal it from rain - BUT - I live in AZ... so not a daily issue. I had a change of direction as far as insulation goes. For the flat sections of roof, I will cut-to-fit segments of foam-board-insulation (from...

    Sound deadening and custom interior install project

    Hey all, Yeah the humvee was never designed to be any kind of armored and I know troops will adapt - and they did - and the military industrial complex provided all the armor widgets the gov couldn't wait to bolt on, road stability and general road-worthiness be damned. There's no perfect...

    Sound deadening and custom interior install project

    Not going to fit that one in a flat-rate box. I wonder if it'd be practical to have seller cut in half and palletize? Because I'm a super nerd, if you base (very) rough metrics off the AR500 sappy plates, at 10x12" and 8lbs, their level 3 plates are 170% heavier than this guy's level 3 plate...

    Sound deadening and custom interior install project

    Wow! Great find! I wonder if I'd be able to cut that using a saw? 32sq' for $325 is a steal, even if only level 3. May be worth a thought. I have a local guy who can order, cut & bend AR500 steel. Probably going to start talking numbers w/ him soon. I do have front and rear HID (bright...
