Another possibility for an early serial number truck is the rear mount stud for the generator is sheared off and allowing the generator and PS to flex forward a little under load. I had this happen and could watch the belt move when the glow plugs were pulsing Just something else to check...

except that the 6.2 got replaced by the 6.5 detuned decades ago, so any truck that went though rebuild would receive a 6.5 to replace the 6.2, but kept the V-belt system.

Not specifically HMMWV related, but there are enough questions on here about towing the HMMWV that it should be relevant enough. So for years we've argued on here about using a U-haul car hauler trailer to tow a HMMWV. They didn't have one that they rated for the task, but that didn't stop...

Now only a day away

The Red Dot aircon system uses the dash fan circuit to activate the relay to operate it. That would be an easily accessible place to find switched 24V to activate a relay for larger 24V loads, or you could probably wire in a USB outlet that accepts 24V input to it as that would be minimal draw.

In this application only B and E are used. They are the two bigger pins. I don't remember which is positive and which is negative, but it would only take a minute or two at most with a multimeter to figure it out.

Is it possible? Well, anything is possible if you throw enough time and money at it. If it efficient? Nope. You could theoretically run the slave port to an inverter. You would need to have a very big inverter, and one designed to operate 120/240 split By the time you buy the inverter and...

I've seen multiple posts here and the facecrook groups over the years about the baffle coming loose.

Tried looking at it with NODs. Didn't really see anything. Was told by someone the light is an LED that is the wrong frequency to show up with goggles, but not sure if that is true.

Run as many circuits as you need or want; it really depends on what you want to plug in and how much power it draws to figure out what is ideal for your situation. Once you figure it out, add one or two more just for future expansion if necessary; it's easier to set up for extra now than try to...

Short answer is it isn't cost effective to try to utilize all the available power from a 400 amp alternator. Even trying to fully use the output of a 200 amp is challenging when you consider just how much power it really is. Longer answer, not complete but should give a basic idea (side...

And aren't the bleed screws normally on the top of the caliper, not the bottom?

Just a reminder less than a month until the rally.

Just a reminder, less than 1 month left.

if it is controlled by a switched power source off of an ignition hot wire, then in theory it should NOT be drawing power with the ignition off. I'd either start looking for the draw, or maybe install a battery disconnect when it's going to sit for longer periods of time.
