its not uncommon for some squeaky brakes on these trucks, the OEM pads on a 52 are a very high metallic content, you have solid rotors if you are a Serial number under 300k. You need to check rotors and pads for wear and grooving, a pad slap won’t do much unless you go to a softer pad, which you...

GL with all that…going 12v’s is a PITA at best, you will need do a bit more than just an alternator and a starter.

32vdc on the IGN? You have a bad regulator 17vdc on the 14v Tap? Bad regulator AC is a signal….not voltage. what is the running battery voltage? I would venture to guess 32vdc, same as IGN…. bad regulator.

that’s not for a hmmwv…its for the Alpha fuel tank.

anything is possible….but the question is, is it financially feasible, ballistic glass isn’t cheap, especially cut to fit the frame.

the rollover vent? It’s used on all fuel tanks…the valve is vented to the intake stack…

The ibistek is no longer authorized and is replaced with the other non- egress windshield system Used in most trucks. in the military, if a single piece of glass is needed for ibistek? You have to order the new kit with armor and glass.

6286 is the correct replacement for the 4879

you cant Just use a different model pump and expect it to work correctly, the 4879 is for a 1990-1/2 and above 6.2L engine. being there are so many auction trucks that were reset, verify you have a 6.2 and not a 6.5, it’s not completely uncommon for the military to have installed the wrong pump.

if a gauge is maxed out, you have a wire disconnected, the voltage gauge only has 2 wires, 24v and ground, use a multimeter to determine your true alternator output.

like I said…its not necessarily for the novice mechanic, the TM has the radiator removal process.

Ok, so for everyones knowledge moving on, the ECV/REV have the ability to clean under the 2 radiator stacks, there is a kick stand at the top and the bottom is hinged on brackets, the factory hoses on all sides have ample extra hose and fitting to move the top cooler, the radiator is suspended...

the auctioning of Hmmwvs is now at 11 years, the only turbo trucks being auctioned are and continue to be be USMC trucks, these trucks are what is known as “Exchange program “ or now called “Harvest” trucks, GP buys them directly from the USMC for an agreed value per contract, this is not the...

fixed the starting issue, here is the aftermarket starter off amazon for $128

good luck with that….while ur at it, see if you can get them to sell us JLTV’s as well.
