I can bet more rods have been snapped off / busted... if the story was told. Hacksaw blade sounds like it would be in the way. LOL
Always grease your rod first, CAMO
I am going to ask this question... Cuz I want to understand the need for converting down to 12 Volts when dual voltage alternator rigs can handle an extra couple of amps say 5-6 and a peak current of 25 amps for the back and forth time one would only be transmitting.
It's a two-way thing...
I am re-posting my PM to help add to the confusion or help others understand. (y) Many way to go about it :unsure: 💡
Your M1123 with a dual output alternator with the 14 volt balancing tap connected correctly and quality batteries is the easiest, most reliable, cost effective. IMO
That...
The mist / sprayers do work... But with the HARD water here if it get on the glass one is going to need a needle scalier to get it off.
Cool beers work better, CAMO
Click is solenoid pulling in. Doesn't mean metering valve is free.
Study the DB2 pump operation > https://media.defense.gov/2014/Jun/20/2002655917/-1/-1/1/140620-N-ZZ182-6558.pdf
There could be one or a chain of little issues to resolve any problem. Poking around for a quick fix might not...

Peeking over your shoulder... :unsure:
Parked for a couple of month ?
Older fuel ?
Will not start now. IMO :unsure: this can be something to consider. The bio-mixed diesel with 5-25% crap, low sulfur, lubricants and any water (there is some water ) to...
Good luck on your fuel problem. Working one here too. On a slightly different note, another GOOD LUCK finding a quality USA pump. Even AC Delco made in Korea. One had a cheap ass crimp ring that came off the lever arm end... and that ruined the day. Lasted about 3 month. Good on the...
HumV not the easiest to get at the engine. parts... top side working an IP swap today. So old tired bones 👴here... twisted up in a ball, hanging off of 37 inch tires, is not the least bit fun. I know there are special supports ladder systems... BUT But but the few times I need to do the heavy...
They can shift smooth as silk. No clunk or whip lash between gears. If everything working nice a strong . Down shift (passing WOT) can be noticed and then a hard shift lock-up is noticed. You'll be rocking and moving out at 42.36 MPH on to sub sonic 57.2 MPH maybe more down hill. 🏎 🚀
Bet YA...
Hi everyone, CAMO here -
Winter is just around the corner, and if you're experiencing hard starts with you HumV now, the OEM computer box may be on the way out.
We developed our own version of the PCB / EESS called the "Glow & GO" which replaces the start system. Our product is a direct...

That's it from the peanut gallery, CAMO
That's a Prestolite that has been resting next to the Titanic for the last 30 years.
Time for an up grade to something a bit more reliable.
I have a name in mind, CAMO
This is likely going to be the fix for a thermal type flasher or even a solid state requiring a load. Resistors kits are sold (auto parts stores) to do just that when switching over to LED's. More Thinking :unsure: One might be able to place one resistor at the flasher output lead, taking care...
BINGO !! What did it win? Not another toaster lol.
Sleep or study up on the DB2 metering valve. It's a little fuel control valve down in the bottom center rear (from front of truck) of the reservoir that needs to move freely. Looks like a little wing flipper thingie with linkage. If sticky /...
Wasn't clear to me in the bingo story. (not assuming anything) Did you ground the cover to the housing? It is very possible the solenoid coil has open up, and it is one of the tests the boys pointed to here. Sometimes one just as to sleep on it. 🛏
SO... do you really have a BINGO or was it a...
