    HMMWV Rolled on I75 North of Cincinnati

    I am saddened that someone protecting our nation has been injured. Hard for me to not take seriously. Some parents somewhere are crying.

    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    Your problem is an odd ball. In most cases, replacing glow plugs and pcb/EESS is the textbook way to go. I feel bad for you BUT you can now upgrade to a turbo GEP.

    Keyed Switch

    Disconnect the starter wire from switch and place a hidden push button for the start.

    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    You have a cracked pre-cup, and very poor compression numbers. Fixing the engine would seem to be a fool‘s errand. The biggest bang for the buck would be replacing the engine. That would also probably work out to be cheaper.

    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    Compression tests should be performed warm. The compression in the other cylinders should not affect the cylinder being checked. When you add oil for wet testing, only add a tiny bit. Too much and you will hydrolock and bend things. Testing cold can give low numbers. Rings need to warm up and...

    Gotta wonder if that cylinder number on the injection pump is somehow farked. Also gotta wonder if the injector line is too long or too short or kinked.

    SOLVED! The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    RWH is one of the most reliable sources of information here. He has seen and repaired almost everything. The OP has chosen to ignore his advice. My suggestion is reconsider and follow Retired War Horses information to the letter. I speak from experience. My M1165 now runs beautifully. RWH...

    I’m waiting on Two M1151 and two M1114. One since January, two since February, and last since March. Que Cera Cera.

    2007 M1097R1 Project - New member introduction

    My experience with Seco was not positive. They were told to send a part “signature required”. UPS claimed to have delivered but no signature and my building cameras confirmed no delivery. Seco refused to refund and refused to launch an investigation into UPS. As buyer, UPS refused to respond to...

    Anyone Looking For Parts?

    Respectfully, I find it impossible to believe the the most elite military people we have are inattentive. Those I have met are the most detail oriented, anal, and respectable people I have ever met… outside of trauma surgeons.

    Log of my M1165. Project Joshua.

    And as the sun sets on this trip visiting Eric and working on my M1165, I’m already planning my next trip. Engine is covered to keep the valley dry. Next trip a/c test and recharge, oil washout and change, glow plug testing, new shoes for all four corners, B-pillars, seats, cover the big round...

    Air Compressor/Opinions Please

    Toyota FJ and BJ guys use the a/c compressor to inflate tires on the trail regularly. I value my a/c in the summer too much.

    Air Compressor/Opinions Please

    Home Depot “Rigid” brand 6 gallon110V compressor. $129. Inflates my HMMWV and Hummer tires quickly. Never timed it but less than 3 minutes each, easily.

    Kascar just got me my glowplugs. And a nice new keyfob which I’ll use for my H1 keys. Initially they were going to mail to the wrong address. I emailed them and they seamlessly redirected. Solid customer care. I sent them a E-mail thanking them. Decided I’ll install another time. More wind...

    Air Compressor/Opinions Please

    Another way to go is a 115 V 3000 amp sine wave inverter. Then for $130 at Home Despot or Lowes get a small airtool air compressor with storage tank. Then you can always carry pressure even without firing up the unit.
