    Keeping the Humvee Running Cool

    This topic comes up regularly. This is a diesel engine, this is not a gasoline engine. This engine likes to run hot. If you run it too cold, which is mostly below about 190 degrees, the engine will not have as complete of combustion as it should, and you will cause issues if it stays that way...

    Plain steel 16.5 rim other than the stock 2-piece

    From appearances, it's specifically for the H1 so should work properly on the HMMWV. The only difference I've seen between some H1 and HMMWV wheels is some H1 wheels are hub centric, rather than lug centric, and use flange nuts rather than tapered nuts to hold it to the hub.

    hmmwv white smoke

    Have you actually tested the glow plugs yet, or are you just going to throw money at it and hope you get lucky? Until you put a multimeter on the glow plugs and check resistance on each of them, and verified that you are getting 24V to each glow plug connection, you are potentially just...

    Plain steel 16.5 rim other than the stock 2-piece

    Do a google search for H1 wheels, and there are standard rims mixed in with the 2 piece for the search results Example https://secoparts.net/products/hmmwv-humvee-wheel-non-ctis-16-5-one-piece-hummer-h1-6002010

    hmmwv white smoke

    All it takes is one failed glow plug to cause smoke. Several of the glow plugs are difficult to access, so not everyone bothers to replace them if the truck is still starting. I think for a while there I was starting my truck on only 2 or 3 good glow plugs in freezing conditions.

    hmmwv white smoke

    You need to check resistance on every plug, then also check to make sure every harness connector is showing 24V. It's not unknown for wires to look good on the outside but have high resistance or damage internally. The fact that it goes away when you increase the throttle or after it warms...

    hmmwv white smoke

    That really sounds like you have at least one glow plug not working properly.

    anyone source for Super Swamper TSL - BIAS 38.5x16/16.5LT

    Does that work for veterans of foreign armies? Since the OP is in Switzerland, I'd assume his friend is also in that region of the world.

    Humvee roller weight ?

    Which model also helps, as an early truck will be 4kish, a newer truck is likely 5k or so

    Another one of those white/blue smoke issues

    You won't get smoke from fuel starvation. Some smoke is common during heavy acceleration, but if it's excessive could be either an air intake restriction (plugged filter or maybe the mushroom cap on the intake is shoved down too far) Check with a multimeter to make sure you are getting...

    Difference between the TCM for 6.5L turbo and non-turbo NA?

    Yes, they are different part numbers Only difference is the shift points. The turbo version has a little higher shift points, to deal with the slightly lower diff gearing and increased truck weight. also, check out this thread...

    200 amp generator / regulator that works periodically...

    Clutched pulley should spin freely in one direction, and solidly turn the generator shaft in the other. Basically designed to the rotor can keep spinning when the RPMs drop or stop, without putting stress on the belt. Or it may have a pulley without a clutch, in which case it will be solid to...

    200 amp generator / regulator that works periodically...

    Here is the manufacturer troubleshooting guide to verify the issue is the regulator so you aren't just throwing money at it https://www.ceniehoff.com/Documents/Ctrl_Hyperlink/TG17_uid252021123202.pdf

    200 amp generator / regulator that works periodically...

    My regulator worked intermittently. Sometimes it would work on startup, sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes it stopped working while I was driving. Replaced it and 4 years later no issues like that. Unless you have a bad electrical connection somewhere, then it's almost certainly a bad regulator.

    Valence's 1997 Pribbs M101A3

    I tried to put some tires from my HMMWV on an M116A2 and the tire is pressed up against the parking brake cable. Most that I've read about seem to add a 2" wheel spacer to solve this issue.

    M1097R1 Rear Panel door with Latch

    The door panel in the picture is part of the SECM (Shop Equipment Contact Maintenance) body, as it has the lip on the top that goes behind the roller door. If it had a hazmat placard on it it would go to the BEOD (Body, Explosive Ordnance Disposal). Might be a couple others it would go to as...

    200A shipping damage, how bad is it?

    Even if it's just cosmetic right now, there might be hidden damage that only shows up after it's installed, and most places refuse to take any type of return on used electrical components. For the cost of the alternator, I'd spend the extra time and effort to get one that didn't get the crap...

    Questions about M720 and brakes

    I ended up not doing anything to it yet. Nobody around here has a shelter to use with it that I could find for what I would consider a reasonable price, and I've been spending my limited funds on other projects that will actually get used more than once or twice a year. Glad to hear that it...
