    HMMWV glow plug/controller question(s).

    Happens every winter to a Humv, or anytime. I have written many post to this. One can go QEM with the latest S3 smart box. Bring your wallet. Glow plugs most likey toast. 24 Volt for more than a minute and POOF ! Another 90 bucks and that may not be the final fix. Cold weather, white smoke...

    WHO's GOING? Lytle Creek Military Truck Rally

    Can't say for sure. May have to start one. MVPA Military Vehicles Collectors Association might be a a start. Car clubs for shows were real good years ago when I had the M37. Seem to get snubbed with the HumV. Arizona used to have a couple of good one's. I thought I saw a listing of get...

    easy/feasible to delete ste/ice-r???

    On the HumV not so sure about that IMO. Fuel pressure, RPM, voltage and current. All important yes. GI ICE with little experience could note the conditions and maybe maybe get to it ??? So I guess it is useful. IMO, by the time one with a little experience / training / and tricks of the...

    Engine started surging coming home and then died.

    As suggested you might look for one of these on the filter housing. A check valve. See picture. I am not a fan of them as they are another moving part that can quit or clog up. They do stabilize the pulsing of weak or some fuel pumps, with the filter canister acting like an accumulator...

    easy/feasible to delete ste/ice-r???

    Been over this a tons of times... so here's my solution. This is a simple back-up to the sometimes questionable dash gauges OIL pressure and add a FUEL pressure gauge. (important IMO when trouble shows up on the road) Dash voltage is relative and more or less go-no go. Temperature more...

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    I' am not sure what I am seeing. I see a timing mark on cover just under return line, and no line on the pump of the left photo. Then a dirty line to the right on cover aligned to the pump right photo. This is a mess. Lines should be clear and pump centered more or less. The second picture...

    I could just hear some GI's asking... HEY Sgt. "Who's got the key to my locking nuts" The squirrels are loose, CAMO

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    The mechanical threads of the flare type coupling will not benefit from the use of tapes or sealants. The compression of the mating surfaces is the seal. Like I said ... Jacked up, dinged, busted, scratched flares under pressure can leak with the most minuet microscopic flaw. A proper...

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    Worry Wart here... I am a little concerned about the use of this "Tephion" or is it Teflon as it is not recommended on flare fittings. While one might think 'hell, can't be that thick" the seal is made at the flare and is a dry, clean, no nicks, burrs, or buggers and flare to flare square fit...

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    Probably shouldn't have mess with it till one know what you got. It's not that hard to adjust in truck. What engine / set-up do you have. (note 5149 is 6.5 NA) Wonder if it was set-up correctly at Melon ? What is and where did you smear this "tephlon" sealant? If only a 1/16 turn... I...

    Model numbers and various options.

    You answered your own question. Always exceptions, buyer beware. Build it the way one sees fit. If it was on UTube it has to be right? CAMO

    Humvee lug nuts

    Yes, picture would help. If I was to guess, it is a free guess, you have some alloy wheels with deep dish hub thickness? For me, I would want to see some threads or two or three or four or more. That's might be more that one, CAMO
