    Battery Disconnect Quick Question

    :unsure: The design of the HumV 24 Volt system has a "devil in the battery box" The laws of electricity and the spoken word this Sunday from CAMO and witness by RWH. Today"s word is "TAP" I have said this over and OVER, explained, drawn pictures, asked for owners to draw it out to see for...

    Humvee windshield frame

    Either part of the frame or some have fabed them up to be welded in...possibly saving money. My two cents. Ears for the HumV, CAMO

    Part Number for M1123 Rear Coil Spring

    And for you Calif owners...New might be nice , BUT good luck on getting it smogged and registered. The girls say "age is a relative thing" Not at the DMV. Just saying, CAMO

    Battery Disconnect Quick Question

    Look up "CHARGE GUARD" or a " two way radio timed disconnect search". This is what I use to automatically disconnect batteries. Voltage and a timed disconnect features with manual override. Start engine or manual and it comes on line. Leave it on...times out after (you decide) saving your...

    NON RUNNER Good chance parts missing here and there. OR messed up to the point was easier to NR it and move it with the fork lift. This one is done. As in... Put a fork in it, CAMO

    Gauge Cluster Wiring… Help?

    OFF the BENCH, CAMO 🙄 There is not a lot of workable option IMO and the little I understand 🤔 All things being said factory M998, dash wiring is NOT some M1165 special ECV harness. I think 🤔 the fishing for wire numbers and looking for the letters is throwing a wrench into it. ADD the fact...

    Gauge Cluster Wiring… Help?

    You forgot to put the smiley face :) ! Starts out dim lights. I see the speedo in the dash. My mistake assuming the M1165, ECV didn't come with a fast speedo. OP didn't say, I am trying to install a speedo from the get go. It's all good, we all play along 🏈 kicking the ball. Dim lights...

    Gauge Cluster Wiring… Help?

    How did we go from Speedometer to Tachometer ? Oh look... Some butterflies. I need a compass to follow along, CAMO

    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    TO BE sure go over it again. I would be a bit of work for a "quickie flip car dealer" to work that out IMO. The "lipstick on a pig" might not work in your favor. There's a lot to know & learn on these rigs. If you get the free 10,000 mile, 28 point check with oil change without something...

    '86 M998 Humvee issue with headlights and turnsignals

    There are 24 volt incandescent bulbs with higher CP and likely draw a little more current. The end result one is going to melt the plastic lens. When your hot you're hot, CAMO

    Why are Fording Switches Removed?

    Government doesn't want anyone driving around when they go under. Holding my breath, CAMO

    '86 M998 Humvee issue with headlights and turnsignals

    WHAT ??? 🤔 Now some do have a diode bridge to steer the voltage to the anode. Any LED when powered with AC will illuminate when forwarded biased. (assuming forward voltage and current requirements are met) That's why those cheap Christmas LED strings have that flicker to them. 🤔 60...

    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    How is it these stories ALWAYS have some goofy back story?? Oil, reference the LUBE ORDER. Diesel engine, Yes a bit noisy. Wait till winter. Clanky - clonky till it warms up. Pressure... be HAPPY with the pressure. Might just have a tight built engine, good output pump. The couple I have...

    Hooking up tach and time tester

    Pretty simple. Connect electric probe to a straight sections on an injector line, Start engine. Connect Plus and Minus to battery and view RPM. It detects the IP pressure pulse on that line and does the simple math. About 650 RPM. Read chapter 4 to get an idea of the goings on. NOT the...

    Hooking up tach and time tester

    Here you go > https://tinytach.com/pdf/3300-S-tech-time-timing-unit-operating-instructions.pdf Should have come with the manual?? I don't find much use for it IMO. Timing mark on engine and IP pump align pretty closely. To add, not that easy to rotate IP with 8 steel lines on it. I have a...
