Surgeon with no gloves? One on one with the HumV... Got it.
I like the bright fluorescent green ones from Auto Zone. Here comes the alien and the HumV is nervous, CAMO
Can't say for sure... I don't think it's out of your league. You're just on first base and heading to second. Big hitter on the bench here. Just be clear on sending the correct signs. (symptoms) Can't get home without runing the bases in order while playing smart and hard.
Watch out for...
TOBASH... I got to ask, Where are you putting your hands to get the back of the fingers all greased up?
That HumV must be really clean now, CAMO
Little tip... if you have to bare hand it ?? Use lots of hand cream. They will clean-up a lot easier and smell good too.🤝
Sounds like this was an extended test drive. If this rig is new to you, limited history, With a PMCS & TM's in hand...it should have been first on the list. With the hood up it's like looking into a crystal ball, everyone sees something different and becomes difficult to come to a clear...
Lots of new... well old Hmmwv sales and ALL the problems (FUN) that goes with them.
Electrical issues can be a bit to chase down. Can't see them little excited electron running around. Your excited too, with a new and NOW DEAD HumV in the driveway.
To help one see them electrons and the...
Smart boxes are not so smart IMO. Not clear on the sequence of events here. ?? Was truck warmed up before you began the work?? Boxes don't like sparks and the little CPU brain inside can get scrambled or fried. Carefully disconnect negative battery lead and wait a few minutes. Reconnect...
Like pulling a old busted tooth, well sort of without the novocaine. Going to hurt at first till ya get the bugger out. New one going back in ya be ready to chew up some corn or the road.
Mr. HumV is going to feel a lot better when done.
That one was decayed to the bone OUCH, CAMO
You will NEVER see a volt or two across the shunt meter points in a HMMWV, UNLESS the shunt elements have detached or corroded away from the end poles. ( Can't afford those kind of voltage drops to run a HMMWV)
It is NOT a fuse or a regulator. In the case of a HMMWV, IF it blows open.... YOU...
Here's a picture or two of what I did to be able to monitor the fuel & oil pressure. While not as convenient as in the dash (not a lot of room anyway)
If experiencing an issue... the hood goes up anyway. Gauges oil filled, stainless steel, nice quality, USA. 16 bucks on epay. I tee-ed the oil...
Well for one... it does not absorb moisture and rust the system from the inside out. Who has time to be rebuilding DOT 3 /4 system on a fleet of trucks and trailers? Don't get confused with DOT 5.1 just cuz it sounds like DOT 5.
DO NOT MIX Dot 5 with any other Dots or stand by for a mess...
Welcome to the HMMWV headache number 214. It's easy stuff, just a pain in the butt. Newbie to this engine?? Some tips before one starts IMO >>>
Grab the TM s and study it (OK look at the pictures) to program the brain. Clear out a big clean spot on the workbench. Snap some pictures...
