    Injector Problem?

    You have one of those diesels, not a nickle difference between the 5.7L. 6.2L and 8.2L series engines. The 6.2L series was only marginally better than the 5.7L series, and like most failures when they tried to improve it (6.5L), it got worse. GEP did do what GM could not and make it a little...

    Injector Problem?

    Allot of things can affect timing including lift pump pressure, on these engines none of that is super critical, if you are into high performance diesels you will be VERY disappointed in any of the 70s-90s era 4 stroke Detroit (GM) diesels, none of those V8 Detroits made enough power and none...

    Replacing Hood Latch Dogbones

    I meant pin punch, sorry I am a little foggy at the moment, a drift punch is normally tapered.

    My RT-524/VRC is not working.

    Vary nice setup, truck and all. I am in a major opioid fog right (new knee on Monday) now so I cannot help at this time. o_O

    Replacing Hood Latch Dogbones

    Drive it out with a drift (punch) of the correct dia. I always remove them from the body first and do them on the bench.

    If it was that easy...

    You also cannot remove the rear seat cushions without first removing the seat backs and bases. and why did they unscrew the front windshield hinges? Pretty cool though :)

    Injector Problem?

    That is the pressure the injector opens up and delivers the fuel to the cylinder, when tested they literally "pop" when they get to the firing pressure. With common rail, at least the ones I am familiar with the injector is electrically controlled buy the ECM. You can think of these mechanical...

    Injector Problem?

    These are not common rail engines, 100% totally different and yes the pop IIRC around 2000psi

    TX Who is insuring late model HMMWVs in Texas?

    And I did tell the guy the 93 was modified with a more powerful engine as he asked if ether had any modifications. The quote for the two trucks is lower than I am paying Hagerty for just the 1993, again with mods declared and the same coverage. And of course both drivers have "perfect" driving...

    TX Who is insuring late model HMMWVs in Texas?

    I got this quote from JC Taylor, as they said anything in TX over 15 years old qualifies.

    Injector Problem?

    Done it many times and never had any issue with it spraying all over the place, it more or less just dribbles out. The quantity of fuel injected at idle is very small.

    Injector Problem?

    You loosen the line connection ether at the injector or the IP thus relieving the pressure on that injector until you find the injector causing the issue.

    Injector Problem?

    You don;t want to block the injector, just bust one loose at a time until the knock stops

    Injector Problem?

    Leaking injectors are not uncommon with the Detroit.

    M1165 battery drain through 200 amp alternator

    I am curious if the test actually confirm the reg. is bad, at least you should be able to eliminate the alt. Because in the differences in meters you may not get EXACTLY the reading you are looking for but if it is relatively close it is probably OK
