The only troubleshooting guide I am aware of for these is the one from niehoff, and it doesn't appear to have any bench test procedures.

aux tank gets installed behind the rear diff, so same location as the pioneer tool kit.
system is supposed to be sealed, because supposedly it can be run in 5 feet of water. If gravity is enough to make it leak fuel, then something isn't right.
if it's your trailer, and it's the only one you will ever tow, then LED multi voltage bulbs and a wiring adapter plug will work fine, and are definitely the less expensive and easiest to do modification.
If you're like me and can be towing any of a dozen different trailers, most of which aren't...
Somewhere on the site there is the diagram to make it yourself.
I opened mine up once. It's a 24-12V buck converter, and some relays. Really not much to it. Putting that into a case, then making up a bunch of wires to go to the various places you need to connect to in the truck, plus the...
back when I ordered mine I don't remember it taking any extra length of time to get here or anything; just a regular "order it and it's here in a week or so"
So the gauge is reading about 205 with the cadillac valve unplugged.
To me that tells me that either the thermostat isn't opening at the proper temp, or that my gauge is off.
With the fan fully engaged you should be seeing 180-190 degrees. You are reading about 20 degrees above that.
You also...
wheels were just whatever they had in the motorpool. They pretty much all came with 12 bolt from the factory because there is no reason to use the 24.
Trailer is rated for 4200 lbs gross; even the load range D tires are way more than that (3850 lbs each tire I believe, so 7700 lbs for the pair)
Everything before serial number 196900 was originally equipped with the pump integrated reservoir. It wasn't until post 196900 trucks that the reservoir is up on top of the engine.
Some A2 trucks before that serial number did get the remote reservoir during rebuild for whatever reason, so it...
I use a keyed battery disconnect.
I leave the switch turned on to the stop light position all the time.
When battery is disconnect is turned to off it won't draw any power, so all this work to bypass or modify the light system seems a bit excessive to me.
no legal issues selling it.
Yes, there is a market for it. It's not a huge market, because there isn't much real world application for it in civilian hands, so it's mostly for people that want their trucks to be "authentic"
Prices on armor pieces are usually outrageous, but true armor steel...
Just to be sure, you have the pump that is supposed to have the remote reservoir, not the one with the reservoir built into the pump?
When the trucks go through reset the data plate gets removed and the new one showing the rebuild only has the rebuild date on it, not the original manufacture...
Let it sit for a day or two, then start it, before deciding everything is fixed.
Only a couple hours to fully charge sounds like the batteries are probably good.
Very likely at this point that it was a bad connection somewhere creating high resistance, causing the starter contactor/solenoid to...
agree with mogman. No matter what voltage they read just sitting there, you can't know if they are good or not without a proper tester, which is either applying a heavy load and watching voltage drop, or one of the fancy digital testers that does a capacitance/resistance type check.
plus...
you have a bad wiring connection.
These gauges rely on electrical resistance.
If you have a bad connection you will get a different reading.
Going over bumps and having everything freak out is some type of bad connection.
I had something similar with my oil pressure gauge.
Sometimes it...
The overhaul tag just tells you it went through the rebuild process, and when.
The MWOs are Modification Work Orders, basically changes or upgrades that were done to it.
This thread has a list of the HMMWV MWOs in it if you really want to know
little round tag is a qr code, probably had to do...
minimum operating temp for these engines is 180. They are happy to run at 200-220 all day long no problem.
Trying to run them under 180 will cause problems over the long term due to incomplete combustion.
This isn't a gasser engine, diesels like heat.
A quick look in the parts manuals for the word "brushguard" only came up with 2 pages for the A0-A2 series trucks, and one page in the ECV/REV manual.
They have different brackets in the first manual, but here is the page from the second manual.
Unfortunately, like a lot of parts for...
