    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    !!!!! slow it a bit !!! That and how it is known ( commonly ) is the OLD 50's up, two pin power cable. (Not NATO) That DOESN'T mean it is a slave / jumper cable, BUT it found a LOT ! (mostly all) use for that purpose on M38A1, M37 and others. So you have one on the back of your battery box...

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    You want the "MALE" cable end?? Fits into the vehicle slave connector. Big as heck. The one that fits into figure "15" in your drawing? Trying to figure it out, CAMO

    constant "eeeeeeeee" noise

    Rebuild it. Bearings cheap, alternator expensive. CAMO

    constant "eeeeeeeee" noise

    Alternators can make a whining sound related to RPM. Hows the charging? Shorted / leaky diodes. Sounds like small siren or low level turbine. Maybe a cat being squeezed, CAM

    Rookie here! Purchased a Hmmwv Jan 2, 2020

    Definitely want to understand the lighting switch. Quick ticket or even an accident without the stop and turn lights on. No need to draw any more attention to " It was camouflage and didn't see it" CAMO

    Accessory Activation via Ignition Switch Question

    It's all about what you want to do. The way to go, here we go IMO... is ditch the converter . Use the 12 Volt alternator tapped to the rear battery. Get the kit. Better for many reasons 1, 2 & 3 along with a standard configuration. You will have ALL the 12 Volts you should ever need...

    Accessory Activation via Ignition Switch Question

    Which alternator do you have? May not need all of this monkey motion? If you have the 200 AMP system. There is a "SENSE" ( #5a and 560A ) used to energize alternator. Hot from the RUN position. Not what you really wanted ? There is an "AC Tap" lead from alternator ( #2A ). Used to send a...

    Accessory Activation via Ignition Switch Question

    Still a bit confused here @&^#$ . Sounds like you answered your own question. Use the key switch to activate the converter. Key switch feeds the trucks STOP RUN START as a security element. Trying to understand the plan. What really is the need for the 12 volts? What to play the radio...

    Accessory Activation via Ignition Switch Question

    Don't think the standard STOP RUN START switch is going to work for the accessory feature you're looking for. NOT that it couldn't turn the converter on and off when in the STOP RUN position... BUT you would have the other RUN circuits fired up like the IP solenoid, alternator feed, heater if...

    GLOW PLUG MAINTENANCE

    They all will open circuit, swell up, melt, blow out, split, maybe even break off... if given too long of an on time. ON CYCLE TIME and at CHARGED battery voltage is the killer. There's a bit more to it that that... but glow plugs are basically a "short circuit" turning electron into a...

    Probably another start trouble thread

    I could (we) guess all day long and stumble on to a quick fix. Not saying it wouldn't be helpful, but certainly exciting to hear " Hey Guys !! checked and now running" My free advice. White smoke good sign ? of fuel showing up in the cylinders. These rigs need "glow action" for first...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Can't even buy a Jolly Rogers watermelon candy twist for 2 cents these days... As for batteries, I go with (and no endorsement) Walley World or the Costco $89.99 each and keep the receipt. Getting 6 years of use. Not going to even think about 300 dollar batteries. Agency had 1000's of...

    Wait Light Stays Lit and Dimmer Switch Relationship Assistance needed

    Was the headlight switch on during this time of unexplained drain with the dimmer switch? Just trying to work this out in my head and for some reason not seeing the light,or connection. CAMO

    Wait Light Stays Lit and Dimmer Switch Relationship Assistance needed

    No magic answers from me. Jump in at one of the issue and work it to problem found. Trying to connect this to that makes no sense... if there was any logic to the original design. Then again ??? Chunking can be a normal sound of some control boxes. It is the primary 24 Volts contactor to...

    Glow plug "tip" didn't come out with the body

    Another tip for tips. Once you have the threaded portion loose squirt some cutting oil in to find its way around the tip. NEVER put ANY side to side pressure as in wiggle - wobble it out force. Tip is very thin wall metal tube filled with some ceramic sand and the nichrome heating element...

    Glow plug "tip" didn't come out with the body

    Not a big deal. Pull injector and go fishing. With injector out of the way, blow compressed air into glow plug port and cover injector port loosely with rag and with any luck will come FLYING out injector port. Have done a few and they will fly. Also it may bounce around in there and may...
