It was corrected by adjusting the injection timing. 10 min job.

OK, I took RetiredWarHorses' advice and played with the timing - FIXED!! It turned out the wobbling of the bad harmonic balancer certainly can play a role in the injector pump position. The pump was advanced slightly to the drivers side, so I brought it back to center. Then it ran worse, so I...

I haven't checked it yet. I suspected that at first but it's odd that the problem went away. Then I thought maybe the aggressive shaking retarded the timing slightly when the old balancer was mounted. It idles smooth but misses when under load, and with each miss, a puff of smoke comes out...

I totally agree. The problems occur when the bolt fails, loosens up and puts the strain on the keyway. Anyone who has ever held a 3/4" woodruff key knows those things are for alignment only. There was a recall on the original bolt for an upgraded, harder steel one, which I replaced. Well...

I don't doubt it!! Just carefully holding these things up above my face to align it is scary at times. If it falls, I'll be unrecognizable even to family.

Wait, how would welding it eliminate what it is there for? I fully understand the ability to replace it goes out the window, however this part is certainly not made to rotate. There is nearly a year wait for a proper engine swap and this is the most reliable bridge to getting the car on the...

And, yes, it was an OEM balancer.

No, should I have done that? I am NOT skilled enough for that and NOBODY in this area will work on a HMMWV, including the big diesel shops.

When I bought my HMMWV, it smoked on startup and during acceleration. I tried to sell myself on the idea that the smoke was white, but honestly it was blue. Like "OIL BLUE." After starting, I would have to back out of the garage quickly otherwise my eyes will nearly seize shut with pain. I...
