They can have mine, when they pry it from my greasy hands and good luck getting it starting. CAMO

RTFM? Read The Factory Manual. RTMF? Read The Manual First. Either way, It holds the answers, LOL. Lazy on the couch, CAMO

This is what is needed when souping up the power train to go faster than 57 MPH. Helps keep the front tires in contact with the pavement for better handling when breaking the sound barrier. Bah bah BOOM ! CAMO

Doesn't look like my fuel pump. 12 volt ? Is this a HMMWV ? HMMWV... Normal pressure 4 PSI low to 8 high. At least 1 pint in thirty seconds at cranking speeds of 150 RPM minimum. 77 F. degrees. Anything more is a little better, CAMO

That antenna is designed for 420 to 450 MHz, 50 ohm impedance. Broadcast band AM-FM wavelengths are much longer by magnitudes and normally 100 ohms impedance in automobiles. So, while a cool antenna for the range it was designed for, it will not be very effective for the broadcast bands of 540...

It seems there as been a bit of a increase in pricing from the 90's and maybe a little failure rate ? > http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a393867.pdf < Inflation has hit the hobby? Just when your having fun, shell out more money. And for the those looking to go Hmmwv. A simple...

Well, that's good we agree on BEER. You are right again on the old truck designs too. The trend has been coming at us for at least that long. That would be true of the those that roiled down the line in the 80's. First without seat belts and ungraded to two point then three point belts...

That's right RWH. Being in the business your in, you have to keep to a standard. And I understand that there are the purest to keep it factory. I like factory. I like beer too. Not tying to hijack anyone's fun or sales to enjoy the hobby. When mine took a dump I wasn't in the know or had...

The later PCB's having the 2 plugs (and not counting any diagnostic plug) have only one #8 ga wire to the glow plugs. It is pin "D" of the engine harness. All 8 plugs are spliced together in the harness to this wire. Removed (cut free and use this for feeding plugs) from controller and there is...

I have a manual, custom built glow plug controller and 8 to 10 "real" seconds is tooo looonnngg with a good set of batteries. For mind from a first time, cold start, count... ON 1,2,3 OFF 1,2,3 ON 1,2,3 and start. Below 40 degrees add another count cycle as needed. Never a problem, no rough...

Sorry for this headache. Maybe the local BBB or state agency could look into it. Check to see if they have other claims against them. I have seen news stories of like situations, high jacking deployed service members needs to be investigated. THANK's you for your service, good luck and be...

Wait for the app. Get the goggles and no glow plug issues. CAM

Maybe not best, but worked for me, With plugs and injectors out, should, could, maybe easy to rock the crankshaft back and forth with a breaker bar off the front damper bolt. Oil up the cylinders and give it a try. If free or frees up, hand turn for a while till your arm falls off. Do it...

All of the above. Get busy on the grounding kit. CAM, with fingers crossed.

That's a bit messed up for a water pump. > " $2500 later and the wife can go and pick it up" < You better be waiting on the porch with $2500 diamond earrings in a cute little box. Mine would be quacking me and the truck, all the way home with a BIG baseball bat. This can't be good...

GREAT ! Remember TM's are written at less that high school level. All the design and engineering as been done over 40 years (generally). All (most all) we want to do is straighten out some of the dents, blow on some paint, work out some rattles or leaks, make it safe and go... and on the...

Many points of failure surrounding the not so smart start box system. For the worked yesterday and now won't start problems take a look at the TM's (any problem for that matter) Read over the operation of system, breaking it down into simple / logical components. Coupled with the flow chart...

This would be true. Those radios covered portions of the TV and radio bands used in various countries here in the US. In this case 30 to 88 MHz. Would work if in SINGLE CHANNEL "SC" mode. Had noting to do with antennas as they too tracked or covered the sames range of frequencies. HOPSEC is...

Fussy Hmmwv, not so smart systems gremlins. If kicking the tires and fumbling with the wires fixes it... keep the triple A card handy. I know that's not what we want to hear, but magically working again is a little spooky and it's still September. Boo !! CAM

Ahh... the ANTENNA and not an easy topic. They are everywhere, in just about everything these days. Discovered, studied, applied, theorized, tried and tested and still misunderstood. I'am no expert, but have build my share. Antennas challenges even the best of engineer and mechanical...
