    HMMWV Doesn't Shut Down With Ignition Switch

    Easier to pull top of IP and inspect the relay. IMHO. If you go this route: Three screws. Shallow screw heads. Heat quickly before attempting to unscrew. If they strip, dremmel a deep straight groove across the middle and use a flathead screwdriver. Once out, hit with 24V and check solenoid...

    HMMWV Doesn't Shut Down With Ignition Switch

    I don’t understand your thought process. How would a bad alternator feed current to the cutoff solenoid on the IP?

    New HMMWV M1097R1 Guy Has Questions

    You misunderstood. RWH is a prominent member on this forum as well as several HMMWV Facebook sites. Read his posts and learn, and when he makes suggestions accept them and learn from them

    New HMMWV M1097R1 Guy Has Questions

    M1097 means your vehicle was rebuilt. Does not mean M1097 is a specific model. M1097 is a catch all poorly descriptive “bastardized” term that includes several iterations IIRC. From the v-belts and three speed shifter you can start by looking up M998. Your dual voltage alternator might be...

    HMMWV Doesn't Shut Down With Ignition Switch

    Start your Humvee, open the hood, and undo the plug on the engine side of the PCB protective control box/EESS smart box. If the engine stops, then it is possible that your problem is the box. If the engine continues running, then you have some other problem.

    HMMWV Interior Options (Console, seats ?)

    The likelihood of my spending that much for their seats is low the likelihood that I will spend over 2 grand for a center console I can build myself is zero

    HMMWV Doesn't Shut Down With Ignition Switch

    There are several things that I would consider and evaluate. Somehow, some type of fuel is getting to the diesel engine. Unlike a gasoline engine, you don’t need spark plugs so the engine can keep running when you turn electricity off. That means that you need to evaluate what the fuel supply...

    HMMWV Doesn't Shut Down With Ignition Switch

    Tried disconnecting the plug on the PCB box under the dashboard. If your vehicle stops, then the problem is possibly the cut off on the IP. Check my signature line on how to properly rebuild a Nartron box. It’s easy. Feel free to contact me via private message for instructions. I’ve helped...

    Hmmwv 400 amp alternator conversion from 210 amp

    Most people swap the other way. The 400 amp is large and cumbersome and even causes issues for some people. It requires different brackets. It is a PIA I strongly suggest you remain pat.

    Recovered two M422A1's from GA

    I bought this rig from James. Sucker born every minute I guess. LOL Thanks James for this fun ride! Fun will begin after getting my M1165 luggage rack welded and M1078 started.

    4l80e pressure control solenoid

    Are you referring to jumpering A-E on the test plug? Just use any wire to do that.
