I think at the end of the day the HMWWV cross over is the best solution. Having a boss for your temp gauge just behind the thermostat is worth it alone. And now it just makes it easier to install this kit, and have the boss for your glow plug sensor. I'm the worst when it comes to wiring and it...
Now the glow plug system works just as it did before. I drove the truck again today and I still can't get over how much better it runs!:driver: We all know there's few mods you can do to a vehicle that you can ACUALLY tell the difference. This is one of those few. I'm very pleased!
Well what you could do is use the thermostat spacer with 2 ports, and just run longer hoses strait into that with no "Y" fitting. Then some sort of (adapter) or ("T") off the original sensor block off plate so you can retain the sensor near it's original spot.
I think 2" more on the passenger side hose would be fine. Also I think running it under the intake would help the angle of the Y fitting relative to the edge of the air filter housing. When I set mine up I left everything loose and let it find the path of least resistance. As for the wiring I...
I think if you clock the "Y" fitting to the right side of the throttle cable bracket like I did. It will give you a little more room around the filter housing.
*REVIEW* I'd like to start buy saying, I'm VERY pleased with this kit! I got a chance to drive the truck on some errands today. It runs MUCH smoother & quieter then before. There used to be valve chatter when at speed that I just chalked up to it being just diesel engine noise, But it's gone...
Yes I thought of that this morning as I was waking up LOL! So I tried it out and it worked! I had an open boss on the passenger side of the HMWWV crossover not being used. All I had to do was relocate the sensor & its adaptor to the boss and lengthen the pigtail about 24"
Should I run a jumper wire in the plug of the sensor? The glow plugs are running every time I start the truck now, and the "wait" light stays on a long time.
Okay I got my 90 degree fitting today & installed the kit. For the CUCV I needed to disconnect the batteries because one of the passenger side bolts has 3 ground wires attached to it. Also I now have this sensor which seems to have something to do with the glow plug system? As performance, it...
I guess HMWWV's have a different set up then the CUCV's? Mine already has an overflow / expansion tank on the drivers side, which is fed buy the port just under the radiator cap. It looks like you'll need to offer 3 versions of the kit. (#1) HMWWV,... (#2) *Stock*CUCV,... (#3) CUCV with HMWWV...
I received the kit in the mail today thank you. But I have a couple question. In the instructions it shows a "coolant overflow hose" coming out of the top of the crossover. As my truck is a M1028, with a HMMWV crossover I don't see how this will work for me?
The problem I'm having is this...M1028 (Banks turbo), (Gearvendors O.D.), (31" tires), (HMMWV crossover), (New 6.5 heads with studs).....At highway speeds 70-75 MPH the temp runs 205°, but can get up to 215°. I'm not sure if this is normal or too hot?:shrugs: The mechanical fan only seems to...
I have a coupe questions. I have an M1028 with a HMMWV crossover, so do you have a kit for this? How much cooler can be expected? And would electric fans work better then the stock mechanical one?
