M998 driven to fast

I've got the instructions that come with the Kascar strap.

Shouldn't there sunburned diesel come out of the exhaust when I turn it over?

You should get puffs of white smoke which is the unburnt diesel, that is if you have fuel. If it was ran dry you'll have to bleed the injectors. I would charge up your batteries, and not try to jump start it.

I told him to drive 53 because of the warning on the speedometer. I bought a maintenance truck with the generator/welder etc. a few years back in Vegas at the air base. I flew down to drive it home. I called a military equipment supplier in Ogden and they told me that I could drive it at 70. Well I did not make it back to North Dakota. So now I don't take any chances. I still have the Chevy sitting in the back 40.

No Hmmwv says 53mph on the speedo.

The truck won't start, adding a ground is not going to fix it....your have to know if your getting all the required things to make a Diesel engine work:

1. Air, make sure you have no obstruction in the air intake system
2. Heat, this comes from the glow plugs, check them with an ohm meter, make sure you are getting approx 7-9secs of glow plug wait light on time, of not, bad plugs and most likely a bad EESS.
3. Fuel, just cuz it's got fuel in the tank don't mean you have it getting to the injectors. Is the fuel pump good, is the filter clogged, did the pump fail?
Crack one of the injectors and have a buddy crank the truck. You should get fuel, if not? Well...it won't start.
Check for 24v on the connector on top of the injector pump, the connector on the forward right side of the pump, that is the fuel shutoff solenoid...I have seen them have bad connections and that truck will never start as long as the solenoid is not energized. It allows for the flow of fuel to the injectors. The other wire on the injector pump, the one that is facing at a rearward angle is the cold advance....don't worry about that one, the truck will start with or without it.

the way I check a fuel filter and fuel pump is to remove the hose going to the injector pump, install a hose to a jar and crank the engine for a few seconds....if you get a large volume of fuel, that's not your problem.

Thanks Retiredwarhorses. I went out and wiggled the 24 volt power on the front of the pump and it started right up. Thanks again. This web site is awesome.

Glad to hear...but here is the worst of it...it can come loose while driving, guess what happens when that happens.
and you get no warning....it's a deangerous condition.
i owned a truck that did that....I replaced the pump , you can replace the shutoff solenoid.
