    Hmmwv 12 Volt Conversion

    Awesome thank you for all the information! I’ll be sure to take that wire out of the wiring harness. Whenever I start ordering parts CAMO, I’ll be calling you for a new box!

    Hmmwv 12 Volt Conversion

    Well truthfully I’ve been researching parts constantly and this seems pretty doable which means I’m gonna go through with it and see if I can make it work. CAMO, you seem very knowledgeable with wiring and electrical. One of the things I don’t understand is what I’m going to do with the AC tap...

    Hmmwv 12 Volt Conversion

    It’s not just about running other 12 volt accessories. It’s mostly about the cost of maintenance in the future. Like Tobash stated earlier, just a new 24 volt starter cost anywhere from $1,200-$2,000. If I convert everything over to 12 volts, the cost of all of it would be about the same in the...

    Hmmwv 12 Volt Conversion

    Well I’ve been doing some research on the alternator side of things and it looks like it’s going to be much easier for me to just keep my dual voltage alternator and only use the 12v off of the regulator in order to charge the battery. I would absolutely love to have a smaller alternator for...

    Hmmwv 12 Volt Conversion

    Well to be honest with you I pretty much already have remade the entire wiring harness on the truck and that’s why I was thinking of doing this. My truck literally only has wiring for the glow plugs and EESS, IP, starter, alternator, engine temp on side of block, oil pressure sender, 4l80e...

    Hmmwv 12 Volt Conversion

    Well truthfully I don’t even have the wiper motor anymore so that part wouldn’t affect me thankfully. Do you know if the glow plug system and EESS box work fine being 12 volts?

    Hmmwv 12 Volt Conversion

    Hey guys, I was gonna see if I could get some information from someone. I have my truck torn apart right now trying to go through it and fix a lot of stuff on my extremely custom M1097A2. I was curious to see if anyone knew what it would take to convert my hmmwv from 24 volts to 12 volts? I know...

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    Well guys I have some good news! The injection pump timing was definitely off, talking about with the mark on top of the pump. I adjusted it to try to match what my old pump looked like as far as how it was lined up with the timing mark. It worked perfectly after that! I haven’t turned the fuel...

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    Okay everyone I think I may have found part of what my problem was. The first picture is where the IP was lined up before the new one was installed and the second one is where it’s installed now. On the first one you can’t see the line but it was perfectly lined up before. Now on this new pump I...

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    The reason I used the Teflon tape and sealant on those flared fittings is on both the injection pump inlet and on the fuel pump outlet I’ve had leaks happen even when tightening down the fitting all the way. I can very easily take it back off but that was the main reason that I did that. And...

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    So yes my engine is the 6.5na. When I turn the fuel back down on it my next step after that is to re-bleed the entire system to see if it runs better. The tephlon tape and sealant was used on the fuel hardline where it connects to the mechanical fuel pump and the supply side of the IP. Yeah it...

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    Thank you I appreciate the help. I’ll update you guys hopefully tomorrow if I am able to do it tomorrow

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    Lol I can only go back so much sadly. I do not have the old IP. I sent it in for a core refund, which now I’m wishing I didn’t since my old one ran better. I can definitely put the pump back to zero and I was honestly planning on it. The only reason I turned it up that much was because I read...

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    Truthfully the only thing I did with the injectors was clean the top of them before I installed the new IP only because very recently before when I was driving it, they were working perfectly but I can take the lines off tomorrow and check them again

    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    Hey guys I need some help. So just recently started changing stuff on my hmmwv that needed to be fixed. One of these was the injection pump. It was leaking pretty bad when the vehicle was shut off so I figured since I have it down to get the transmission rebuilt, why not go ahead and change...

    Shudder at 40mph

    I will most definitely give this a try. I still have the original set of tires that came with the hmmwv so I’ll swap them out and see if it changes anything. Thank you!

    Shudder at 40mph

    Well I’m glad that the first thing I get is treated like an idiot. Thank you retired war horse! Anyways I never said it should ride Ike a caddy at all. If that’s the case I wouldn’t have boggers or even a hmmwv because they ride like ass but look cool. On another note bogger shimmy and torque...

    Shudder at 40mph

    I should also mention too that the shudder is not always consistent. Like it will shudder from maybe 2-3 seconds and kind of fade away for like a half of a second and then come back. It’s definitely kind of weird. Also, I have 42 inch boggers that are balanced with beads on there right now. I...

    Shudder at 40mph

    Hey guys, I wanted to get some opinions on exactly what I should. So ever since I’ve gotten the vehicle, once I hit, and this is exact without any difference each time, 40mph on the dot the truck has what feels to me just like torque converter shutter. I’ve had that on another vehicle and this...

    Power Steering whine when hot

    And I knew that hmmwv’s used DOT 5 so that’s what I used.
