    Recommended spare parts list.

    I carry way too many spare parts. - Starter (overkill), Waterpump - major work to "field replace", all liquid filters, and many more...... Definitely carry a set of good tools. Small hydraulic jack (Test it to make sure it has enough lift to lift a tire/axle). But what I have had to replace...

    Chinese Aux Diesel Heater

    I have a 5 kw unit mounted on the top of the Helmet Top tool box, inside the truck, with the exhaust routed outside. I added a 1.5 gallon tank, since I like to run Kerosene for the cleaner, odorless burn. Power comes from a 12v Lifepo4 battery. There is a 2" hole in the top of the box to allow...

    Holy hell 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    To be clear, the plastic piece that broke off wasn’t from shut off solenoid, it was from the secondary solenoid that has a wire inside the pump, I don’t know what that is for, older humvees don’t have that solenoid in there injection pumps The smaller solenoid is the cold advance solenoid.

    Mep005a code light?

    Some questions to help us understand the problem better. Did the unit ever run correctly before the single phase conversion? Did it ever run correctly after the conversion? Is the engine laboring, like it's under full load? Does the current go up immediately, or only when the contactor is...

    IBIS tek HID to LED conversion

    Take out one of the HID bulbs and compare the base to a halogen bulb. You may be able to replace it with a regular h8 or similar bulb.

    Soldered Lead on Oil Pressure Sensor?

    Well, my curiosity got to me, and I did some further research. One of the NSN documents I found says it is a pressure output port, but not for what purpose. Possibly for a capillary to an actual pressure gage? The doc states "sensor shall have one pressure input connection, one electrical...

    That's why it MUST be disassembled, so we can all know. Curious minds want to know....

    Soldered Lead on Oil Pressure Sensor?

    Could be a small tube they use to purge/gas fill the sensor, then cap it off. Try unsoldering the cap like end piece.

    MEP-802A compare to Miller Big Blue 500

    Very reliable machine. You can always buy new sheet metal from miller. I would buy it.

    Best sealant/glue for ducting

    If it is a close fitting joint you might be able to use ABS pipe glue. I have used that on ABS ducting, and it worked great. For larger gaps I have used JB weld Plastic Bonder Structural Adhesive, and Permatex Plastic Welder. If you want a dual syringe with a gun and mixing nozzle, you can get...

    PETLAS Has anyone tried these tires?

    Looking at the weight difference, makes me wonder if they are all nylon belted, and not steel belted. I could not find that info in the description, but I did come across this statement in their description " The intended purpose of Mud Terrain tire types is off-road use. They are not designed...

    New guy with a slant back question

    Solved that problem. Bought the wife a Blue Parrot trucker headset with bluetooth. She watches her movies on her phone, and I have not heard from her since then. :LOL:

    Removing oil from old shocks

    I have not disassembled one of my humvee shocks, but have cut open other ones. Caution, the shocks are presurized with nitrogen. Drilling a big hole too fast will get you sprayed with oil (think of it like drilling a hole into a can of spray paint). I would drill a small (1-2mm) hole on the far...
