    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    Who changed the Sender with What? 🤔 Rule of thumb(y) 10 PSI per 1000 RPM hot. Little more is better. Way more, something not right IMO. Screw in a mechanical gauge to be sure. Military electrical ones not always so good. That's one tight engine, CAMO

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    Also note that the spacer is used with one and not the other cradle. Just saying. In my set-up... After fussing with this brackets, alternator business, I used the long one to the block. Running the 60 Amp just made more sense not having to deal with exhaust heat /rusty bolt issues. Right...

    Engine cover turnlock fasteners

    Drill out the old and replace with new. Two little spring clips seems like another weak HumV design. Not an escape hatch, CAMO

    Old style parking brake- pad replacement

    I wasn't changing pad. I got the image he wanted to ditch the old school emergency brake crap? (cant believe...yes I could, he doesnt have the up-grade E brake system. Maybe I figured wrong... first time this week. My bad. I note: that just pulling the old disk rotor is a problematic. It...

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    Sorry about the bad PN. Had it marked ??? Now that you say that... the HD one has a tab on it for PS hose I think. 🤔 Don't make me go and look LOL IMO... If trying to tie into the exhaust bolt "again" I would hunt down the HD support strap. Those angles to the exhaust are a little off for...

    Old style parking brake- pad replacement

    The way I did it was to mark the outline of the U-joint yoke in place on the disk. Unbolted and out comes the disk / rotor. Over to the plasma table and cut and save the center. Touch up on the grinder and back in...Done and DONE. It is a centering spacer now for alignment to the U-joint and...

    Title or SF97 Form for HMMWV

    Difficult in California is saying it lightly. You have a lot of time to figure out a plan. Maybe VOTE before the 14th, Sept. Search: CA DMV and HUMMWV Military surplus. GOOD LUCK GOOGLE & Governor may not be your friend, CAMO

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    There is another / option heavy duty bracket (like 7/16 ? inch thick) that mounts below the exhaust to a boss on the engine block. Might look into that set up. Something is ?? out of round / balance. Might check for a cracked mounting cradle too. Shake, rattle and rip, CAMO REAR SUPPORT...

    Wait light troubleshooting

    Yes... the 571 is the control lead to turn on the WAIT LED. This is done at pin "E" cab harness to box. Internal CPU logic pulls this "low". Don't worry about it... UNLESS your connector is all wacked up. Another clue to BAD BOX.. Look it over good. Use a common sense approach, checking off...

    Wait light troubleshooting

    Leaning... LEANING..... WAIT when the bill comes for a good new set up, LOL. Check each glow plugs for 1.5 to 5 Ohms. Replace open ones first. Would like to know what you find on these "GROUNDS" before the magical ground kit. Check the ground behind the dash with doggy house off. Little...

    Wait light troubleshooting

    Not an expert here... But that could be normal as the certain alternators act that way. (which one do you have?) Did you ever check the glow plugs resistance... all 8 of them? I am not sure we are communicating well here. LED checks good, fiddling around, only 6 volts, then connects to...

    Fuel shut off solenoid exploded internally!?!

    Time for a new one. To investigate... peel back the plastic and look for the coil wires to have the enamel burnt off. Shorted winding/s is what we are looking for too. To check measure the resistance and verify against the book. Yep, that's got to go, CAMO If you need one, I have an old IP...
