Sure man... I am all for building a bypass Start Control Box, I feel very comfortable with schematics and a soldering iron and i would prefer to build a separate gizmo vs. modifying the OEM one since while I build it I can continue driving my truck to work and back and then once I am finished I...
well I really did not want to start buying stuff since I do not face this problem on a regular basis (In Miami you see temp in the 40's every couple of years), I just wanted to know if there is any counter indication in placing a heater under the oil pan to bring the oil temp in the 60's, I...
My Humvee sits outside and we are going to get in the 40's on Friday, this is my only vehicle which I go to work with everyday, it has a VERY hard time starting in the 50's because very likely I have an issue with the Start Box and/or the glow plugs. Now my plan is:
I have electricity and a...
Thanks a lot for the video explanation, luckily I am very comfortable using oscilloscopes, multi-meters and any measuring device related to electronics. I just did not know how to measure a glow plug not having seen one ever but I guess is as simple as: ground on the thread and + on the center...
ok so to recap:
1. Check that every glow plug is getting 24V for about 9 seconds and then it goes to 0 (if this is happening the controller box is working as it should then the glow plugs themselves (1 or more) may be bad. How do you measure the resistance 2-4 Ω ?
2. If you continue getting the...
GREAT INFO Mull, sounds easier than I anticipated, at least for 6 of the 8 since I got a 200A generator. How many do you reach from the doghouse and can you do it from the outside sitting on the engine..?
yeah... unfortunately I do have a multi-meter but I am not so mechanically inclined, I don't even know where the glow plugs are or where their impedance/resistance gets measured.
I do no believe the amber light is bad because some time I turn the ignition key to start and I see the light...
I do have another thread going about the lights but only one answer there
https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/master-lights-switch-can-you-service-it.225288/
as far as the glow plugs I have a situation where my amber light has never turned on since I bought the truck, the old owner told me...
I rarely find myself in the 40/50's living in S. Florida but when I do (my dashboard lights turn on on their own even with the switch in OFF) the 6.5 TD engine just does not want to start it literally takes 20-25 tries about 5-7 seconds each when normally it starts immediately, of course that...
just stumbled into your request here and saw it was not answered:
I have had several cameras for my humvee, this is by far the bes hands down, installation under 3 minutes, no cables, always fully charged, reposition it in 2 min, even swapp it to a different car and a lot more
my dashboard lights are turning on during the night (or really anytime) by themselves, thank God there they are LED (2) in my dashboard and their draw is not enough to give me trouble starting it. (M1151A1).
Do you service these things ?
maybe spray them with some contact cleaner or do you...
that is all great info.... I will definitely follow advice but all this prompts a question:
A 48" jack will lift max 41" the front shackle sits at about 33" which means I will only be able to lift the truck 8", considering the tire starts sagging after you start pulling up, would you say the...
thanks for the suggestion, I do have one of those bottle jack as well but unfortunately i found out (when I really needed it) that it is good only as long as the tire is inflated, if you punch a tire the whole truck will loose enough clearance that the bottle will not fit any longer, that is...
can anyone suggest a part number or a vendor?
(are both joints the same part number?)
I am not very mechanically inclined and afraid of buying the wrong parts.
