Injection pump is on top of the engine above the valley (I think it would be difficult to take apart and set there!) Not exactly sure what that is offhand though. The fan, radiator, hoses and other stuff are definitely disconnected.
That is a REV the fan sits at that angle, it looks like there...
My HMMWV has a sticker that says (when the 12V system is connected) that you should disconnect the 24V GND and THEN disconnect the middle "ground". (Basically both wires on the - (negative) terminals.). This will prevent any backfeed of power on the 12V circuit (if yours has that.)
Note, 12V...
All of the R1s I've seen on the auction site have been 3-speeds. I keep looking for a nice 4-speed, but so far nothing reasonable that I've seen in my part of the country. I guess I'll have to look more closely at the R1s again fi some DO have 4-speed.
Finding and then lining up the 32-35 mark and now I’ve got the gear working again. Thanks!
Unfortunately I still have that stupid bouncing speedo needle.. I pulled out the cable, lubed it lightly and put it back in, less of a bounce, but there is still a noticeable bounce. I guess my next...
I won't be home until this weekend, but I'll definitely look for that. From what I saw on the mirror, I just have a lot of dirt up there, but it may very well be under the dirt and maybe that will fix it?!
I'll let you know when I can get in there to attempt that.
This definitely sets the gear offset. If it turns out the stamped marking is in the wrong place, that could certainly explain it not working.
Hopefully if you set it back to the originaly setting it will work for you. If it does, then I guess I'm going to have to try the same thing. I wish I...
I just found this:
NV15054
It looks like it may be the same part with a new integrated rubber washer. (Of course the site I found it on went down as soon as I found it!)
ya, it doesn't look so bad.. just trying to get everything I'm going to need before I start the job.
I've got some o-rings so I guess I'll try that. I figured there was some standard washer for those drain/fill plug bolts... but so far I've not found anything except an ebay listing to buy 8...
Ok, since I'm going to have to get into the transfer case and replace the driver gear (I think). I need to drain the fluids (which I need to do anyway). I've got a slight weap out of the drain plug already, so I know I need a new washer on the plug. But I've not been able to find either...
That is exactly what I'm afraid of. Using the mirror I can see a green worm gear with what looks like clear teeth. But that doesn't mean it's working right.. ;)
Unfortunately it still isn’t working for me. Everything is now repaired but it doesn’t appear the it’s spinning the cable.
does anyone know what might be wrong or need adjustment? I’ve got it lined up, and no spinning. I can take it out of the transfer case and spin it.
If you do decide to do it yourself, be sure to understand any state and local laws and regulations on doing any sort of asbestos mitigation.
While not applicable to you, in Minnesota I'm allowed to do 5 linear feet of asbestos removal as the owner of a home, vehicle, etc... But I still need to...
I've used baking soda and water mixture before to neutralize and clean up battery acids before under the hood of a car.. I think the key (for the truck) is get the acid off everything you can, and it should be fine.. LOTS of water, lots and lots and lots of water..
As far as the building...
Well, I finally figured it out. The markings were under some sort of undercoat that had been sprayed all over the transfer case.
On my particular transfer case, there were two markings embossed onto the casting, with an arrow to a circle. The arrow pointed the "26-31" mark to the circle...
Good luck. I hate potting compounds so much for things like this. Could they have been using the chips to dissipate heat or is this purely anti-tampering?
The pin from the 90 degree adapter broke off in my speedometer gear. To diagnose everything I removed the Speedometer Adapter (TM 9-2320-280-24P-2 Figure 488 Part 19) and the gear (part 17). Verified the pin was broken off inside of the gear (17) and no way for me to get it out. So I'll have...
