    A/C Diagnostic help

    When the servo heats up it extends out pushing the C forward to close the valve, as long as the C is pushed as far forward as it will go and you snap the servo back into the holder to hold forward pressure on the C you should be great.

    Pop The servo out of the holder ( has 2 metal fingers holding it in place) push the unit forward to close the valve and snap it back into the holder in that forward position. That will hold the valve closed so you have AC . no coolant loss at all.

    Fixing the 1998 HMMWV

    Allen wrenches are cheap, when one starts to strip I push the wrench in as deep as I can and tack weld the wrench to the head of the bolt, the heat of the weld tends to free up the threads. When it comes out cut the bolt off and your wrench is just a little shorter.

    The Humvee takes off on its own like if someone flipped the "After Burner" switch.

    Could the torque converter be unlocking causing the engine to rev up / feels like a downshift ? Possible adj or replace the switch on the brake ?

    Air conditioning 1151

    On my unit the rear evap runs with the rear condensers, front evap fan runs with switch. If your rear evap is cycling on and off with the condensers chances are the compressor is also cycling. This could be low on freon or a bad high of low PSI switch.

    Smoke on start up (not glow plugs)

    When you pull the glow plugs, look closely and see if any of them look wet. The black on the end of the plug should look black dry and chalky. If not you could have a leaky injector on that cylinder which will cause smoke.

    You have 3 lines at the valve, one goes to the fan, that one will be eliminated take the valve out and couple the remaining 2 lines together. If I remember correctly the fittings are 3/8 pipe thread so you just need a 3/8 pipe coupler to hook them together and your set

From your description above, if it were your AC I would have expected the system to be empty from a blown hose or o ring. You may want to look over your cooling system if the coolant...

    NP218 - Speedometer Gear Installation Help

    Its been a long time since I had the 90 deg adapter apart, But I seem to remember that you can put it together in a way that reverses the rotation. Your cable may be long enough to hook directly to the TC just to make sure that corrects the problem. Edit: I think you can remove the output...
