So in your case you would use a standard HMMWV kit. We have those on the shelf for immediate shipment.
The overall system temperature is not greatly reduced as that is more a function of the thermostat temperature and the cooling system volume. However you will see a dramatic change in the...
Yes, that is correct. This switch is just an on/off. Cold to 125F it is closed (making continuity), 126F+ is is open (no continuity). Your glow plug controller is still working in either case but it's signal to turn on the glow plugs is interrupted by this switch. Bypassing will allow your...
>>>UPDATE<<<
OK I have a question for the group. The Glow Plug Inhibit Switch that is the rear left side block off plate is causing some issues with me getting these kits to market. The reality is that I never run them myself and adding $80 to the cost of the kit to maintain them when most...
The auger and bit I rent when I need them, they are $3500 to buy! But to fit them you need a FLU only bracket and custom hoses. That is what I have available. Not trying to get what I have in them back but something fair.
Guys I thought I would offer up my rear auger set-up for FLU419s. If you guys recall I got it all working but my soil was just too rocky being an old river bed. So what I have is the OEM bracket sold to the Army and two new hoses to attach to the auger and the bucket feed lines in the middle...
This mistake was entirely human error on my part. Somehow this order got marked as shipped and as such was given no additional scrutiny until I heard that it was not received and reconciled all the orders to see what happened. Being out of town when I found out just added more frustration...
Hey guys just a quick note. I have a couple of more kits ready to go before the next batch I can ship. After the 3rd it will be at least till the 15th before I can ship any more. Thanks for all the PMs.
Thanks for the report Ari. Using IR temperature measuring I am not really surprised at all. So much of the surface temps are from residual heat under the hood which is why not much can be derived by IR unfortunately as it is not measuring coolant temps but external surfaces temps only. The...
Start spraying Anti seize or WD40 etc into that master disconnect. Mine was rusted closed so yours might be rusted open. I have a new switch but since it freed up I have avoided tilting the cab a little longer with mine.
Sorry all for not posting for a bit, I was in Germany for a week busy with other tasks. FYI we might be testing these with the military soon for possible deployment at least with the Army so these might be in larger scale production soon.
There has been a lot of back and forth on how the...
Providing unbiased data means you would not trust any data I provide. Therefore I will stand by my testing and subsequent results and let the community of users provide you the 'unbiased' data on thier own. However I very much doubt that anything save GM offering the kits directly would...
Thanks for the recommendations guys. I am working on a web page but until then I will email the V2 Instructions and any additional info requested in a PM. The kits are also for sale on EBAY for those who want to buy there. I do sell it directly cheaper to SS members. PayPal is the preferred...
Just a little update, the rear plate is on the way from a SS member, I am machining up parts and some are being laser cut. There is a bit of a back log at the laser cutter so it will be at least 2-3 weeks before I can test fit the kit components on a CUCV.
>>>UPDATE<<<
OK so the fitting showed up late on Friday. Nearly all was correct but some was not. I elected to spend the last three days doing a secondary machining process on the fittings to correct the lingering issues. All is correct now and the kits are assembled. My Wife and I are...
