That's true, BUT it maybe a little loose fit. I had to wrap the edge with tape , trim it to hide in the channel taking up the differance.
Now I can see clearly too, CAMO
Here's a quick picture of bracket that needs reworked. Well, sort of. the two ears or bosses that need to be cutoff of the old emergency brake caliper hanger. Look at all the pitted deep rust. You bid on the cleanest one on the lot. Fuel tank tells it ALL ! 1986 New to you, NOT!
If you...
The sock / strainer is available but can be pricey. I have seen $22 to $38 bucks. It is more than a filter. The round end has a sort of check valve / release should the filter clog, the little flapper will open due to a clog or if fuel gels in the fine filter medium. (Cold waxie fuel and...
It worked when it left the factory. Thirty years later... all the things and more stated have taken a toll.
Electrical FIX it, tires you can patch, CAMO
Late design fuel sender is a series of magnetic glass enclosed "reed switches" with a resistive network. Float goes up and down in a tube with a magnet attached. Simpleton design and works. Only problem is gauge moves in discrete steps, I think 8 maybe 7. No inbetween reads.
Analog or...
It's not that hard. Got the complete kit? Layout the parts it will make sense. The bigger problem is drilling out the rivets. Pain In the BUTT, BUT I used an air hammer with sharpen chisel at an angle that sheared the them off 1 2 3 QUICK. No crazy angles to deal with a drill motor. Tap...
Pretty hard to have a timing issue, unless IP pump shaft severed, timing chain skip a tooth or Samson bent the Injector lines into a pretzel.
I am not seeing timing as an issue, CAMO
Just started the HumV and it coughed a couple of times. It's now quarantined to the driveway six feet from the Toyota.
Good reason to stay home and work on it, CAMO
Many will say add a ground wire kit. IMO remove all the grounding connection points, wire brush (real good) all connections and the metal attachment points. Get the bolts too or replace. When done spray or brush "red glyptal" coating. Search for the little bottle, about $14. paint in up real...
Not the first time this has happen. When these flakey box conditions present themselves I have joked "drain out the water" in past posts. Been there, done that.
Hummwv might have been a swimmer in its previous life. Was it a Marine truck or has fording features?
Happens more that you...
It's not easy like a gas engine where a couple of bolts pop it off and peek inside. or fix the darn leak. IMO, by the time one tears into the diesel intake, IP lines, maybe pull the air cleaner, alternator, push back hoses , wires, etc. I don't want to have to do that again for a leak. Today...
Been over this before. In the RUN position, other circuits will still be energized like control box, injector pump solenoid, maybe cold advance solenoid (if cold), gauges and heater, wiper, (if on) While not much it is an added drain. If 4L80 transmission add that to.
Not really an...
!!!!! slow it a bit !!! That and how it is known ( commonly ) is the OLD 50's up, two pin power cable. (Not NATO) That DOESN'T mean it is a slave / jumper cable, BUT it found a LOT ! (mostly all) use for that purpose on M38A1, M37 and others. So you have one on the back of your battery box...
