    Frequency meter replacement?

    I've never had a 802, but here's a cheap one I've used for other things. Probably could make it work in place of the original. Backlit too...

    Joke of the Day

    Yup, still here in the thread @M813rc linked.

    Tachometer hook up

    I used a optical tach sensor like chevymike shared. The tach by sound, well, isn't that precise. @Camolad best to start up a new thread or post in another alternator thread about replacement options. I don't think there's a readily available one at most parts stores anymore. But if you have...

    Tachometer hook up

    Correct. The pickup is to pick up the field changes to act as a signal for the tach. There's an adjustment method to these tachs. You will need a optical tach to set it up to start with.

    Does having a Turret add more value to the HMMWV? Turret owners... Could you live without it?

    I have one, but I actually use it for the various guns I use from it. If I didn't own brownings and such, I wouldn't own one, just no need for it. And it's one more place for rain to leak in.

    Arduino 4L80e controller

    I haven't ever gotten a 4l80e yet. So I honestly haven't done a thing.

    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    That's the function of a turbocharger.

    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    I can see we're simply going to dismiss a lot of key things. So I'll wish you the best of luck.

    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    Tell you what. A very simple a cheap test you could do to see if this bears any feasibility is to build a simple injector pop off adapter out of an old bottle jack, injector, and injector line. You can setup your inductive heater over the injector and heat it up however you like. Then test...

    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    We're burning 30% of the energy out the exhaust because it's a ICE and we'll, again physics. That's also why turbochargers help with efficiency by turning the lost thermal energy into boost to help airflow. The automotive manufacturers are trying to increase mileage, because they're mandated...

    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    The systems I'm speaking of use the heating element wire wrapped around the injector lines POST injection pump. You're asking for a precision machined part that runs at a certain tolerance to be heated through induction to retain the same tolerance. From a machining perspective, that's just...

    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    I have seen others use the idea, but differently, using heating element wire on the injector lines and injectors to help heat the fuel before the injectors. This was for WVO operation. They still used the glow plug system as well of course. I do have some concerns though with the idea...

    Can’t get this to start…FIXED!!!

    Have you pulled the cover off the side of the pump below the HH and make sure the lever there isn't stuck? (It's the pull lever for fuel cut off)
