    MEP 804b MPU source?

    I thought I should give an update. Did not have Guyfang's response and the voltage and resistance checks at the time. Summary is that it fires right up every time now. What was the issue? I don't really know and I hate it when "Things fix themselves" . At one point while I was cranking over...

    MEP 804b MPU source?

    Hello Guyfang, I didn't respond right away because I wanted to see if the speed pickup was the issue. It wasn't. The story. Nice clean 804b. Had for 18 months. From GP. Has always started and run fine. When I got it the fuel intake pipe in tank was bent upwards so required a fullish tank...

    HMMWV/Civ Trailer Wiring

    Put 12v bulbs in trailer. Use a 12v regulator on each circuit. Something like a 7805 in a to-220 package. Get a little drop but you're really at 13-14 v so will get 12 out. Put in 28v get 12 out. Just need regulators that can handle the 12v drop from the hmmwv at the amperage the bulbs...

    Front Differential Mounting Question

    Been a long time since I asked this and solved it but I figured someone else might come across it. Turns out whoever "worked" on my HMWV previously used the rear type hangers on the front diff. Also, the brake yoke was the wrong one. As was pointed out, the left front yoke drops the caliper a...

    temp guage not working right

    if you want to check out sender, below are the resistance readings (terminal to gnd) for sender. Just measure with the wire disconnected with an ohmmeter. Temp 120 -2507 ohms 180 -1126 ohms 240 -562 0hms At least you can rule that out. If good-see above. It's a...

    General Q on tranny swap

    One more quick tip for installing. Get two long (~2-1/2") bolts with the (3/8"-xx I think?) thread. Cut off heads to make studs. Use them as sliders to guide transmision onto block. The guide pins on block are short. Remove and replace when done.

    Front Differential Mounting Question

    Thanks for the info. Yes the 4 nuts on top are soft. Will replace. And yes-red thread locker. Left yoke about 1/4" lower. Is this right? Or is it the wrong one and just 1/4" off? I'm guessing rear side brackets were used on the front. It's just too high. Actually hits cross member in...

    Front Differential Mounting Question

    I'm currently working on an '86 HMMWV. Getting to the front brakes and I realize there's something wrong with front diff mounts/geometry. Body is off, it's all there to see and I'm not quite sure what's up. With the side hangars bolted tight to the front to back braces it sits too high in...

    m35a3 Master Cylinder

    John, I have a NOS master cylinder for the M35A3. PM me if you want it. But first check to see that there is play in the pedal and that the piston rod can return far enough to expose the hole in the master cylinder bore to allow fluid back into the reservoir. The reason I have the NOS...

    m35a3 wont start

    I had exactly the same thing happen with my A3 a week ago. They were '06 6TLs. Never a previous issue. Battery voltage looks good. Takes charge etc. Try and start it and all gauges shut down. Turns out it was a bad cell in one of the batteries. All was great previously as far as starting etc...

    Devens Mass Pickup

    I was there a while ago so things might have changed. Chris Swaney was in charge of the region 602 284 8868. I think he's in NH. He gave me Devens contact # 978 796 3143. Forgot who I got but he was very friendly and helpful. There is still security in the middle but most of the base is...
