Does sound like a regulator. I had the end plate type on my 60A. It wasn't hard to replace and I did it without removing the alt from the motor. DO DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES FIRST, if you decide to replace the regulator. BUT you should definitely double check all wires, including the exterior...

There are a few haulers on Facebook as well. Can't speak about any of them personally though. BDGR

Glad you caught it TOBASH. Good advice for anyone. I checked my spindles when I got mine from the National Guard. No loose nuts but one bearing was rusted and would have failed in time. BDGR

Cool! Remember folks, to alert mods to tag threads to be moved and seed the new forums with interest and info. BDGR

Smart idea with the foam. Beats sewing new insulation panels bit by bit like I did. I got halfway and lost interest, it was so tedious. Please let us know how the foam works out. Esp. noise (in my case). BDGR

I thought that box was oversized, but the last picture explains it. Great googally moogally, that's a lot of wiring.

Excellent observations. My own experiences corroborate these costs and figures. Still, I enjoy this problem solving, and for me there is plenty of learning going on, which I value for the inspiration and challenges it presents. I expect even if I focused on additive manufacturing and ran my...

Agreed. I do that when I happen to catch the nozzle at temp, but sometimes it's cold and I'm lazy. But that's what spare nozzles are for, at least in my house :) BDGR

Absolutely. I have taken to running tool steel nozzles in both extruders now. You're not kidding about nylon's abrasiveness. I was playing with Taulman Bridge nylon a few months ago, and printed about a three hour job with it. Then I switched filaments and was having a terrible time with a...

Excellent points. I have played with GF ABS and that is pretty strong, and not too expensive. CF ABS and CF Nylon are next, but I want to be really sure before I hit "Print" because they were costly (compared to disposable or often on sale filaments like Amazon Basics or Sunlu). See you all...

Count me in. I don't have any sexy files to offer, but I can throw in a slave receptacle replacement cover I designed a few years ago. BDGR

Welcome! Those trailers are out there, so keep an eye out, you'll find one. Have you heard about the Graves Mountain Rally, which takes place over Labor Day weekend each year? Just west of Culpepper in Syria VA. You are invited. Bulldogger

Awesomeness, to your comment a few posts ago about cost as one reason to avoid nylon, I have been getting successful prints now for weeks using KAKO string trimmer line from Amazon, $15/Kg (strictly speaking it's $29.99 for a 5lb spool). It is true that my printer was a self-gift, and is more...

Wow! Looks brand new! Well done. Bulldogger

Anyone tried nylon for these parts? I'm printing plenty of functional parts with nylon now. It can be tricky, but I figured out its quirks on my printer (CreatBot F430, out of reach for some I admit) and can print almost anything now. Bulldogger

I used EZ-TCU for the transmission control and had/have few problems. Others used US Shift and it went well. BDGR

Check if it is a centerline, rear mounted turbo, or more typical side-mounted forward. Conventional side-mounted turbos will not fit in the HMMWV narrow engine bay. Sorry to rain on your parade, but I am not aware of a common rear mounted turbo civilian diesel truck. Bulldogger

Another member here tracing a noise not long ago realized he'd lost a piece of tread off the tire on the noisy corner. Could be lots of things. BDGR

They have come and gone here pretty regularly. Give it another month and some will be up for sale again, I'd guess. BDGR

Try the Hummer Knowledge Base for aftermarket cross-references. As far as Half Shafts, many have had good experience with those from Advance Auto / Autozone. They are the 10K versions with ABS sensor ring, which is not needed typically and some remove it. BDGR
