    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    Is it just the truck shuddering, or does the engine also sound rough as well? There could be something else in the drivetrain rather than the engine being the culprit.

    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    There should be a little smoke under heavy acceleration, so to me this does sound like a fuel starvation issue. It only does it after the engine warms up a bit, or all of the time once you start loading it up?

    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    In other words, runs rough under load. Time to start checking out the fuel system. Should have a steady stream of fuel out the filter drain in the front wheel well when running. If slow trickle then might be a blockage in the system like your check valves or fuel pickup in the tank. If no...

    You caught me at the right time. Normally I don't even crawl out of bed for at least another 15 minutes.

    rear battery should have a smaller wire for the TCM, and a larger wire going up to the alternator. I'd check there first and see if you have the larger wire and if so where it's going, before trying to start at the alternator only to find the wire dangling somewhere it shouldn't be after trying...

    I yes. It's rated for 50 amps so use the appropriate wire size. I was still editing my previous answer when you replied :)

    Wire A is the 14V tap that would go the the rear battery. It's typically only installed for trucks with 4 speed transmissions. It does help keep the batteries balanced, so installing a wire there is helpful, but is not required for operation in 3 speed trucks. Seeing as you should have a 4...

    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    If you're off of paved roads all the time, then it would make sense to run lower pressures like that all the time, but on paved roads at higher speeds you're going to kill your tires pretty quickly at those pressures. For on road use you're probably looking at 25+ PSI empty, and 30+ loaded. I...

    Another option is the NO.CO 2 bank chargers. They are specifically designed that they can charge 2 12V batteries whether they are independent or if they are wired in series. I have the gen5x2 in my truck, as do several others, and it works great. https://no.co/gen5x2
