They didn't die at the same time but both died while I was having an overcharging issue that I finally got resolved & now I'm trying to fix all the other stuff I burned up while still running the truck.
My truck had an overcharging issue that it took awhile for me to realize & resolve & I was still running it until I figured out what the problem was. The overcharging was fixed & now I'm trying to fix all the stuff I burned up before I fixed it.
12v work just fine powered by only 1 battery or a step down converter.
I hate eBay but its the only place I'm having any luck but the cheapest one there is $350 plus shipping which I think is ridiculously high compared to what 12v motors for other cars go for.
I have a 1986 hmmwv that the heater blower motor died it has the round output. Do the newer heater blowers with the rectangle outputs just bolt on in place? I can figure out how to modify the output to fit the round tubing.
I have an 1986 hmmwv that the windshield wiper motor died on. I don't care about keeping this truck OEM there is enough stuff modified/ changed on it already, I just want it functional without having to spend tons of money for no reason. I have found a supposed nos motor on eBay for $350 but I...
I was using the truck this weekend & it didn't give me any charging issue at startup this time, but while I was driving for a couple hours I would just randomly act up for a couple minutes & then go back to normal. I was running my wipers part of the time & they eventually failed while the truck...

White smoke while cranking, goes away very quickly once is starts.
Once it starts it smooth out to regular idle sound within seconds.
Its the newer "good" glow plug controller box.
I don't remember if the previous owner installed the grounding harness (I think he said he did, but that is a 2...
My '86 m998 spears to be overcharging for 5-10 minutes after startup & then it settles out in the green range. It alternates between being pegged all the way to the right on the gauge & the green zone about every 30 seconds, I have the military LED headlights & when it is off the gauge to the...
My '86 m998 doesn't want to start when the engine is cooled down, it restarts just fine when out running around as long as I restart within a couple hours. The truck was starting right up after letting the glow plugs cycle until sometime over the winter & when the issue started I just assumed...
My pump is currently at diesel care & performance (the place on eBay suggested above), they say the pump is completely locked up & they are trying to find another military spec core to rebuild for me. The service manager says the military spec pump has a larger diameter hole to push more fuel...
