What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[ufoDziner]

Is the alternator some cheap china crap or is it a name brand? Also is it duel voltage>>

Single voltage. Looks like it's good quality. There is no branding and he says that they're made for him.

What are you going to do about the imbalance caused by the transmission TCM?
TCMs do not like having switched 12V going to the unswitched input in case you are thinking of using a switched power converter.
Actually I think it is funny they call that an upgrade kit..

I'm installing a Cooper 21100E00 (manual attached).

Figured out the AC, just a wire connection i guess. I have to fix the drain fitting piece under the system.

A customer's HMMWV, but he's not on this site so I am sharing with permission. He's mounted my new black sailcloth cargo cover on his ride. He also has one of my soft slant backs, but wanted a cargo cover so he could have options.

1151 getting in shape. Nose installed, head light LED truck light works as intended, windshields installed (have to paint the retainers, was thinki g abouth making them out of 1/4" aluninum and more coverage towards the rubber gasket or a complete retainer similar to Ibis Tek instead of the half retainer. Added some freon to the AC system but i have a leak through the low side port, it is corroded and have to replace the valve core.

Sent this M1114 to a new home, i have no time to work on it and a friend got it at my cost, time for someone else with this M1114 to report to this thread

Started an upper console for various switches and electronics.

I built a similar overhead console . Made brackets to wrap around bow and clamp . I also wrapped it in green canvas . Mounted a radio up there in a boat enclosed case

Also put a Those military Guys keyed switch in. It works great but the instructions were wrong and they didn't include the unit bit that says is included.

My air compressor hose and control wire wandered out of a zip tie and made contact with the exhaust pipe under the doghouse. That led to the air hose, the control wire, and the high temp loom wrap all melting into a mess.

Anyway cut out the damaged section and replaced it yesterday with a slightly better routing. Also added a thermal wrap for the heck of it.





I also added a Morrflate 4 tire inflator hose (link here) and now I air up/down at the trailhead in record time.

Months ago, I filled up with bad diesel and ended up with a nasty problem in the system.

After changing the front diesel filter several times, things only improved briefly. So yesterday I decided to take drastic measures. I removed the tank and cleaned the intake strainer.

I washed out the tank and then put the system back into operation using an antibacterial agent.


lifting up for drainig the tank completely


Run your finger briefly through your filler neck. *puke*

nasty


No more cleanig for tho filter... completely clogged. rock solid back mass.
Ordered two new.

But i think i found out why i struggeling with this for mounth!
Algae can easily multiply in diesel, and especially in biodiesel. This is particularly true when exposed to air (diesel is hygroscopic and therefore attracts water).

The canisters I used to refuel with after replacing the filters were also full of this black slime because I had gotten into the habit of leaving them open when empty. But diesel doesn't evaporate like gasoline. It stays in there and you end up with an algae brothel.

And the HMMWV's tank was also almost completely empty after the hot summer and already infected from the first attempt to use diesel from the old agricultural tank.

Should be required reading for everyone with a fuel problem! i believe the translucent nature of the tanks may also contribute to the problem, sun light.
A picture is worth a thousand words!
