Absolutely loving your Humvee Videos - one small suggestion regarding connecting/disconnecting your battery - the negative lead is always first off when disconnecting and last on when reconnecting. The main reason for this is that when you connect your negative lead the body of the vehicle is then grounded (although I know in an aluminium Humvee grounding is not great). So, if you were then to accidentally touch your wrench against the body when connecting the positive lead you could cause a short circuit which could be bad for your batter, but I would say much worse for the Glow pug Controller (start box) that you just fixed!!!!! So if you leave the negative lead disconnected until last, then you cant accidentally cause a short circuit
The SOCOM Ground Mobility Vehicle GMV Running Board are hung on shoulder bolts through 1/4 in steel rockslider/jackrails, bolted to the rocker panels with 3/8"-16 Grade 8 Bolts.
Hey brother I’m new to your channel. You should try some wd-40 on the shifter through the bottom and top and you should be good to go. Mine was stuck as well and as a soon as I sprayed WD-40 it shifted smoothly. Thank you for your service. Much appreciated from Miami💪
Hi, nice m998. I wanted to recommend installing a grounding harness. This will really help with starting, especially in cold weather. You can make it yourself. I did. Also, the smart box can be opened and the solenoids replaced if needed. I had to replace my glow plug controller. Lastly, at least for now, to add a kill switch look at wire 54 and if you need any manuals let me know. I have quite a few. Best of luck! Just thought of one more thing, make sure your vent lines are open. The geared hubs to the transmission to the front and rear difs all enter the air cleaner can. If not your hubs may leak after driving a while and the seals really are not bad. Just tips from experience!
It was either the plug(they obviously put it in wrong, no idea what they were thinking) or it just started to crank. If you are at the point of it trying to turn over, it wouldn’t be the start box itself. Glow plugs aren’t needed in summer. I want to get a dead box to build a bypass box for mine once mine dies. I’m not going to keep buying $500-800 boxes.
U got to get a way to provide a rocking deep lasting 24 volts. Because, u got to crank the shit out of it and pump the pedal til ur foot falls off.. Light use of starting fuel.
Nice to hear it run... i was wondering if it was going to at the beginning of the vid. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Curious, if you purchase a new shifter, are you interested in getting rid of the old one? If so, let me know how I can take it off your hands. Cheers man!
Hi dear friend. I would like to ask you to make a simple video that is on the operation of the transfer case ... the short marches ... no Italian dealer visited knows the perfect functioning of the transfer case ... it seems impossible to know it and therefore understand it .... after 10 years I can't understand how it works ... can you make a video? thanks from Italy.!!
@@SplitBuilds I see, it's a risk. No way I could rebuild the engine. And probably some of the non runners will need that. Can't wait to see what you do with your new Humvee, previous one is great.
