    Injection pump idle adjustment.

    That's not new. A new old take off maybe. This is what a new one should look like. Hopefully, the same on the inside and calibrated correctly for application. Picture worth a 1000 words, CAMO

    Humvee Cranking But Not Starting

    I might have missed it... was the resistance of the glow plugs measures? To be sure check them all. 1.5 - 5 ohms in that range would be good. I checked the temperature there to be about 55 degrees. That's a little cool to start without some glow action. Should or could be popping and a...

    Injection pump idle adjustment.

    Has someone been into it? Easy to mess up the Idle spring and guide or bent the metering arm if gorilla fingers were in there fooling around... like trying to turn up the delivery and put it back together all wonkie. Wouldn't be the first time things got bent, CAMO

    PCB Engine Harness Connector Replacement

    You might be able to pull back some slack like an inch or two by removing a clamp along the windshield. My concern is tinning the conductors if the corrosion as found it way between the strands.. Cleaning and good rosin flux (not plumber or acid) to pre-tin the wire ends / tip only. About a...

    Bringing back to life a 2009 HMMWV M1165A1 from GovPlanet - total newbie, please help...

    If it wasn't bumping, banging, shaking, shimming, rattling while rolling... It would be just another car. Might have something to do with the turn signal label missing, LOL Not sure what your saying. Get a hold on the hood by the window washer tank (where one strains to lift it up) and while...

    Injection pump won't move when turning crank.

    Watching from the nose bleed seats, munching peanuts... with such a clean looking truck, How could that pump be soooo rusted up? With IP now in hand, did one try to turn it and what was that result? Really hard to see from here, CAMO

    Nice write up to the investigation. Is the shaking - shimming felt back thru the steering system ie: steering wheel? Could the hood just be dancing around lol ?? There are the three hood bumpers. Left, right and center with adjustments and the dog bones that hold it in position. The center...

    Injection pump won't move when turning crank.

    Doubbble check me... gear set marks point to each other. Bottom at 12 up, top at 6 down and the pump only fits one way. There's a poop sheet on the torque specs. And get ready for this.... TM's Trying to be nice for a Tuesday, CAMO

    Injection pump won't move when turning crank.

    That is a nice truck for $7900. Almost stole it HAha. Still scratching my head how clean and dry it is inside that engine. Might want to take a look at the thermostat to see what's might be gummed up there. With it out flush all you want. It would be a bitch if it was a new rig and Opps...

    Rear Tire Camber

    Already knew it was wack, so that printout would +/- be a starting point if the math holds true. Once one get the hang of it ig goes quick. I pulled the shims. placed a thin pry bar between the frame and cup. Wheels on the ground one can work the bar to fine tune and determine shim thickness...
