The manufacturer has a really good troubleshooting guide that will take you step through step to determine where the failure is at. 95% of the time it's the regulator. https://www.ceniehoff.com/Documents/Ctrl_Hyperlink/TG17_uid252021123202.pdf

Okay, time for a couple more questions. Did the charging system on this truck ever work, or did you just recently acquire it and trying to sort everything out? I'm asking because something here doesn't look right. The N1225-1 alternator has an external voltage regulator bolted to the outside...

I don't recall seeing it mentioned, what alternator is in your truck? Knowing this will help us to be able to provide more specific troubleshooting, as a few things are different between the different types Use a multimeter to check voltage at the batteries. Then use the meter again at the...

I'm planning on keeping them all. I'll probably be taking off some of the buckles to use on some of my ammo can trays

funnily enough, I just bought a package of the straps last week on ebay. One end is a loop that's held down by the footman loop, and the other is a hook, with a buckle partway up...

That doesn't work so well if it's soaked in oil.

If in good condition tap on it or blow it out, but no washing.

That I don't know. The ECV/REV system has one compressor and can have either one or two condensers and evaporators (one condenser each fender, one evaporator in the dash and the second between the rear seats) The Red Dot system is sized for a single evaporator and condenser, but large enough...

There is a sanden brand compressor for the Red Dot kit, that uses a different mounting bracket and longer belt that is not in the parts book. The ECV/REV compressor should be the thinner one and mounts the same place as the delete pulley, so no change in belt length from what the book says

Looks like the actual military one is built by Maradyne. Found it a couple of places, the second link I just ordered 2 for myself from ($20 each, and $35 shipping for the pair) https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/32/Maradyne-24-Volt-Dash-Fan https://boyersurplus.com/products/cab-fan

I've used my milwaukee 18V work fan a few times, but mostly now use the Red Dot aircon aimed forward at the windshield to keep them clear. Federal Military Parts has some 24V fans in various colors for the HMMWV, or if you don't mind chrome that one is half the price Green...

If you're getting air into the system, everything in the system is pressurized except for the pump reservoir/seals. Even the return to the reservoir is going to have positive flow. Something would have to be seriously wrong with the system in order to get air into it anywhere else, to the...

Not sure if it matters, but you should also include what model truck and what generator you have in order for us to know better what might be going on. Have you checked to make sure the truck really is in neutral or park before trying to start it?

Kinetic ropes are only supposed to be hit at about 5mph. You're really just giving a gently tug to build up some energy and stretch the rope. If you really gunned it with that much power, with that rope, you're lucky it didn't snap on you. The soft sand probably kept you from getting a whole...

If you're a competent driver then yes, blowouts aren't as big of a deal. HMMWVs without armor it really shouldn't be an issue as long as you can hold onto the steering wheel and don't panic brake. If you drive a Ford Explorer, then apparently it's a death sentence (remember the old Ford tire...

This isn't so much for you, but for anyone else that comes on here and wants to argue about how fast it's okay to drive a 3 speed truck. book top speed is 55. the 6.2 and 6.5 GM engine have heat soak issues, so running for extended periods of time above 55mph can lead to engine failures...

high pressure = less sidewall flex and less sidewall heat. If you want to run older tires keeping them at higher pressure will help reduce stress on them. If you want to run lower pressures for off road driving and a softer ride, then stick with newer.

Do you like being able to drive 55 mph? If so, then DON'T switch out to a slower gear ratio. The 2.56 is the fastest speed gear set made for these trucks. The other two gearsets are for 4 speed trucks that are also heavier. The only advantage would be is if this is a dedicated off road rig...

it all depends on how they were stored. I've used 20 year old Wrangler MT tires and had no issues; just kept them at 35psi. I used some 10 year old 90%+ tread MT/R and they had sidewall cracking within 6 months. Only reason I bought new to me tires at the beginning of this year was the 12...

Some sort of limiting strap should work, but remember they aren't typically designed for shock loading, which is what will happen during rough driving. The shock slows down how fast the spring can extend, and mitigated the shock factor (no pun intended) of the suspension travel coming to a...
