    HMMWV Serpentine Belt Issue - 6.5L

    Are all the pulleys lined up front and back? Maybe one is too far forward? Just a thought.

    Water Pump Bolt / Crossover Pipe

    I can sympathize with you. I've had times working on my 6.5 in a civy suburban that I just want to throw a hand grenade at it! Sounds like your engine hasn't been torn into in some places for a long time. When bolts won't unthread and seem like they are going to snap, it is best to STOP...

    5Ton Combat rims on 395 MVTs install for Beginners!

    There will be a posting of the event when it gets close so you can find out all the info. It's a lot of fun. You can check out the past events and the pics but I don't remember the posting name. I'll see if I can find it and let you know. Glad you went for a ride around the block and it ran...

    Harmonic Damper

    I am looking to order one for my v-belt 6.5. What part number did you order? I didn't see any CW rotation pump for the GM 6.5. All were CCW. Thank you.

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    This is the tach I have. It has the 4 screws on the back. I am trying to install this in a civy vehicle with the 6.5 GM engine with the yellow sending unit that goes in the back top of the engine where a distributor would go on a gasser engine. I'm using a 12 volt to 24 volt converter to power...

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    Does anybody know what this tach is looking for as far as a sensor signal? I hook mine up and I think it's correct but the tach is erratic with the engine running. I don't have the wiring part that goes into the body. I just ran a couple of wires from the sensor/sending unit to the tach + and...

    Fuel gauge issues

    Mine does that too when the tank gets low. I have an M923A2. I think it's normal, just the fuel sloshing around in the tank and moving the float up and down. When the tank is full, the gauge reads steady.

    pyrometer probe location

    Thanks everyone for the ideas. I think I'll go with putting the probe in the manifold like where crf450x and others mentioned. That should work good. Thanks Luke's_deuce for mentioning the max temp that I should watch for. Time to get out the drill and tap!

    pyrometer probe location

    Hello all. I'm getting ready to install an EGT gauge to my M923A2 engine and was wondering where to place the thermocouple probe. Here is a pic of my exhaust manifold with an area that I highlighted in white as a possible location. Any thoughts?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I cut one of my junk tires in half to take to disposal place. The beads are a killer to cut. I used a sawzall and a circular saw both with carbide blades and regular finer toothed blades. Lotta work!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I replaced my MT654 CR rear output shaft seal. Actually it took a few days. The hard part was taking the small driveshaft from the trans to the transfer case out. It is HEAVY. Taking the 8 bolts out and having to rotate the driveshaft, switching the transfer case to neutral was the hard...

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    I found these concerning Ametek/Dixcon tachs. I can't get mine to work right either. I have both the correct tach and the sending unit. I think maybe the wiring is picking up noise and messing up the signal.

    M998 Project: "Tech-V (?)"

    Second picture from the left, what is that above the silver finned box? Is that the PDP and what is a PDP. If that is a power distribution box, where did you source that? Thank you.

    Electrical help needed.

    Clean all electrical connections especially the ones to the batteries and starter, solenoid. Use wire brush, sand paper, steel wool, etc.

    1009 Rear window stuck in down position

    If you can get to the bottom of the glass, I think there are 4 bolts, 2 on each side that hold the glass in. Take those bolts off and then slide the glass out with the tailgate down. Good luck
