    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

    '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...

    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...

    Engine started surging coming home and then died.

    Not much. Wrap a paper towel around it and crank 20 seconds. Wait a minute and crank again. It should be wet, not sopping wet, but not dry either. (scientific measuring method) All done... could squeeze wring out a few drops. Don't get the big idea to hold your finger on it, checking for...
