    forum update or not?

    I can say, I have not seen a post centered, only the one time I was typing. I do look at quite a few posts. I figured it was an update that triggered the settings. I just fixed what I saw on my end. I am using Chrome.

    Did I toast my 6.2 engine somehow, and how do you jump a 24v HMMWV?

    OR, it has had 2 failed starters. 1st one failed by not spinning the bendix out, who knows, maybe just gummed up. 2nd starter, although rebuilt, who knows how long and what conditions it has been stored/sitting, maybe wrong pieces installed, the bendix isn't spinning out on that either. OR low...

    forum update or not?

    You can change it like in Windows on the tool bar. I noticed it a couple of days ago while messaging with someone. In the middle of typing, it switched to center. I thought I somehow hit the tool bar and changed it!

    M816 Wrecker - General Questions

    There is an 816 up for sale. It is a tow company vehicle based out of Santa Clarita, Ca, but, I think the truck is in Monterey Park. They have contacted the Museum about donating it to us, I did some looking. THEY think it is a 543, but it is an 816. It is a working truck, maintained for heavy...

    Found a gas powered wrecker

    The 6602 in the M62 had HORRIBLE fuel consumption. No kidding, 4 gallons of fuel used in a 30 min operation of the upper. It always had black smoke, kept dropping holes after cleaning the plugs. It was much worse before the Zenith install. Last week I put some civilian NGK plugs in it with...

    m1070 no exhaust brake? and A/C?

    IIRC, DDEC still uses the switch up on the blower. Could be un plugged or out of adjustment or been removed.

    m1070 no exhaust brake? and A/C?

    It might be a good idea to make a visit to the TM section and find the TM that has the wiring diagram in it. Again, I do not know the HET, the above is a generic TS guide. There might be electronics involved, like DDEC or a trans TCU. EDIT, Just looked at the HET via Wikipedia. It is indeed...

    m1070 no exhaust brake? and A/C?

    While I don't know a bunch about the 1070, I do know a bit about the jakes. Some things on that set up to look at, power, like others have said, if there is power, look at the trans lock up solenoid, if unplugged it will not complete the circuit, IIRC it is a normally open switch, you can just...

    M915A1 engine choices

    CPL 891 was a Cummins ReCon CPL. It was generated because in order to update the 531 and a bunch of other 400HP engines, like the 614 MVT engine, it needed to be EPA certified. The 891 is just the updated older CPL. Things updated were piston dome, ring pack and placement of the ring set on the...

    The next Project an ASMH

    OK, this looks like the final update on the M62 revival!! We installed a Zenith carb, it made the 6602 start better and run somewhat better, but we have had an issue with dropping random cylinders. When the plug is removed, it is fouled. Clean it, re install and it runs fine for a bit and then...

    Manifold studs

    Have you tried looking in the parts TM in the Deuce TM section, finding the studs and see if there is a description there then look on line? Maybe some of the bigger vendors, Easter Surplus, Boyce, Memphis Truck?

    looking for humvee mechanic on the north east

    Smoke. What color? White, black, blue, grey? It is a diesel, so some smoke is normal. Like @Mogman said, change the fuel filter and make sure there is good clean fuel in it. Also, MV gauges can be incorrect. Put at least 5 gallons in it. Does it start hard, meaning does it crank an extended...

    The next Project an ASMH

    Yup, that is how I gotta do things like the wrecker now. The big stuff wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the under, climb out and then climb up, then do it in reverse, multiple times stuff. When I first started in the industry I retired from, the old timers would see me do something and tell...

    The next Project an ASMH

    Dude, I am ready. The heavy crap is killin' me. I actually gave Jacob all of my 3/4 drive stuff, 7/8 thru 4 inch, Snap On 3/4 drive ratchet head, 24 inch and 48 inch handles as well as all my wrenches greater than 1 1/4 from my shop tool box. I have absolutely ZERO interest in doing heavy stuff...

    The next Project an ASMH

    Okay we're getting in the short rolls. This is probably going to be one of the last updates on this Beast. Couple of weeks ago we got a new cable on but the plug that came out of the clevis is not reusable. Turns out they never are because that's the part that deforms itself to lock the cable...
