    Voltage gauge pulsing after startups

    RWH and gang....That is correct. The CAMO-4-GA tester shows this "glow" pulse clearly. Also check ALL of the other "BOX" internal functions in a real world loading, in a bench setting. No need for diesel fumes. LOL Best one can do is to watch your volt meter for proper operation. At night...

    Fuel pump installation advice and tips, tricks to bleed fuel lines.

    No need to make a mess. Just crank it over a few time allowing a short rest in between attempts. If that pump is any good it will do its job. Third or fourth time should be coughing, chugging and running. If for some unknown reason the 8 injector lines are dry... might have to crack a couple...

    MANUALS and how to use them!

    Been said a 100000000 times... Bought the truck, now buy the TM's or at least down load a free one. Just like those pricey parts one puts on, having the TM's increases the resale value too, when sold. (She will sell it) And for the real lazy... pictures. Lots and lots of picture. See...

    Fuel pump installation advice and tips, tricks to bleed fuel lines.

    You're waiting around for advice on how to get the pump working... LOL after changing?? You did all the hard stuff and if comfortable with that ??? Now the question is why no pump, what else is missing, how long was it sitting, last time it ran?? on and on. Gets to be a crap shoot... but if...

    Start box woes.

    There's more to the "BOX" that the box. Depending on make and model... there is the TSU in the water crossover. Could be B/O, wet, shorten or just ? Been there, done that, CAMO

    Start box woes.

    Just finished building two of them... And walked one Steel Soldier thru my complete build / design over the phone-facetime 2500 miles away. HumV started the first time. I could sense the feeling of his accomplishment every step of the build and the 1000 dollar savings over the phone. 💰💰 (y)...

    Buying a HumV could be a pregnant idea, CAMO

    Power Steering whine when hot

    All true. But with all those brakes to maintain coupled with the DOT 3-4 sucking up moisture, IMO it would be a major headache. DOT 5 is in all of my trailers and HumV. Pryor to my switching always something rusted, crudded up, leaking, blowing out seals in the fleet. LOL Car collector...

    Power Steering whine when hot

    I think the "excitement" is putting a damper on the "new" HumV ride. A few system NEED to be checked out before hitting the road. Even a new car goes thur some sort of delivery checks and sometimes Opps... loose bolt, low fluid or none. 30 year old truck and I don't care what Uncle Sam...

    1994 M998A1 Stalling and dying after a mile or two

    How about a little back story.... The what, where, when, model.... picture ? Just asking. In my driveway I would put a simple-cheap vacuum / pressure gauge into the end of the water separator hose hanging on the outside left footwell. Easiest to get to... no fuss & quick. Make a good seal...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Visual deterrent. Or Rubik's Cube ?? CAMO

    All lights

    It does pass thru the "BOX" . Battery HOT all the time. Inputs "BOX" on engine connector pin E. Thur "BOX" and out on body connector pin F. Over to the lighting switch to pin F. Disconnect batteries before poking around. Have seen many burnt off "F" pins on "BOXes" when pokers miss the...

    ANY INFORMATION ON INSTALLING SERIES 18 WINCH IN A 1165a1

    Is it me or the Covid, You just answered your own question. " I just don't know why they use 16AWG to the remote since current is low and voltage drop likely not significant enough to cause issue" Wired controllers are pretty straight forwarded. Sure connectors need to mate / match...

    ANY INFORMATION ON INSTALLING SERIES 18 WINCH IN A 1165a1

    Why... Cuz, it's a remote control. It controls a simple relay circuit (solenoids) that controls the high current needs to run the motor. You will need large gauge wire, welding type from the batteries to both locations. or a long one to flip between front / rear. and a positive and negative...

    M998A1 cost

    Reasonable price ??? At GP, I see them starting at $4K. Sold for $40K. The one picture shown and my one guess $20K Plus. Looks like a nice, clean rig. Anything goes, Guesses are free, trucks are NOT. Parts sky high. What's in your wallet, CAMO
