Thank you. I actually have that exact hoist. I suspect it'll be challenging enough even with the hoist, I can't imagine doing it without some sort of lifting assistance.

Yes, as things currently sit with the 400a installed, the twist support bracket will occupy the same physical location as the rear mounting tab on the 200a. The twist bracket isn't slotted (as best as I can tell with it still installed in the truck), so I don't think there's any adjustment that...

You are correct. I had both of the 200a brackets in my notes and for some reason typed out the wrong (old) one. Thank you for catching that.

Hello all. I'm about to start a 400a to 200a alternator conversion on my 2006 m1165 (sn 241xxx). Through the homework I had done, I thought I had understood that the 200a would work with the existing 400a brackets/mounts/etc, and all I would need is a smaller diameter (7/16") long mounting bolt...

Based on my experience with David at HPG, he'll make it right ASAP. He's been nothing but top notch and I seriously doubt they purposely tried to pass off used as new (assuming they are in fact used).

A Humvee will go just about anywhere. If it doesn't, then it's most likely due to the driver and not the truck. BTM (and anti-lock brakes) separate the people who truly know how to drive from the people who can press an accelerator or brake pedal and let the traction control systems do all the...

I said it fit, I didn't say it was especially pretty. The m1114 has a much thicker, squared off rib where the armor was installed. The soft top b pillar has the thinner, radiused rib, Functionally, there's no issue, but cosmetically it's a little hokey. I haven't tackled the job of figuring...

Yes, the standard soft top b pillar will fit. I have an m1114 with the same setup.

Sorry for the delay. Here's a pic of my m1165 with the switch shimmed. You can kinda make out the 3 washers between the switch and mounting bracket. The shim washers are on the side of the switch nearest to the hood of the truck.

Yes, "j" failed (0v) w/ meter set to AC, measuring across 7 & 8 with S1 in Start position - I just went out and triple checked. Inspected and found nothing that looked like a broken or loose wire coming out of the gen head (or anywhere else leading up to the VR). Inspected P5 and J5. Didn't...

I ran the AC VR tests this morning. Step "j" failed - I got zero volts across 7 and 8. Everything else passed as indicated. Bad AC VR? Should step "o" read "If steps h, j, l and n AREN'T as indicated...."? Or am I somehow misinterpreting the context of that comment???

Because of the fact that I do not have power at the convenience outlet (except with S1 held in Start), I'm guessing it's the VR and not something to do with K1 (if I understand the power flow correctly....) I'll run the AC VR test per -24 TM tomorrow and see what I find out. Thank you for the...

Thanks for the replies! I'll try to answer all the questions below... Yes, it has the fuse mod - no, the fuse is not blown. Note: This set does not have the MOV installed (I have one on order but it isn't here yet. Hopefully this isn't my problem - I knew about the fuse mod, but if I wasn't...

Well... I was load testing my new to me 803a today and everything was going great - had it loaded to about 85% of rated load and she was chugging along just fine for about 15 minutes. All of a sudden it jumped to about 100% load and the engine really started laboring. Within the 15-20 seconds...

Not sure if it's just my bad luck or something more systemic, but I've had 2 m1123's that I wasn't able to adjust the switch (including bending the Z-bar) to a position where both the brake light and TC lockup switch would both activate when pressing the pedal. Both were solved by putting a...

My m1123 with the 200a alternator and older style start box didn't do it either, but my M1165 with the 400a and older style start box does.

It's your start box pulsing the glow plugs. Completely normal.

Dustin at Feltz is top notch. I've bought a few sets of tires from him. Highly recommended.

I have a complete set of footwell armor (driver & passenger side, inner and outer plates, door reinforcements, etc), as well as a few other misc pieces I haven't found in the TM yet (armor behind the front AC, etc) from an m1114. Basically everything shown in these parts diagrams (minus the...

Thank you, sir! No wonder I couldn't find it....
