It sounds like your glow plugs and controller are bad again. You need to
upgrade your starting system to the new KDS / Kascar system. The new KDS
system is what is used on all the new Humvees from the factory. Then add
the new self regulating glow plugs that won't swell and ill last up to 3
times longer than the original type. You will be all set to go!
Visit www.Real4WD.com for any and all parts you may need for your Humvee.
You can contact Ron or Dennis at 864-422-0370.
Best regards,

Hello List,
Well went to start the HMMWV today after not starting it for a couple of
weeks, but it wouldn't start. I turned on the ignition switch, the glow
plug controller seemed to cycle normally, 3-5 second wait light came on,
I cranked it over but only white smoke came out the exhaust stack. As I
was cranking I heard the glow plug cycle (click once as normal). Any
ideas on what is happening. The last time I had a starting problem
about a year and a half ago, my glow plug controller was not cycling, I
replaced the controller with a new one and she fired right up. I'm
thinking the culprit is not the controller this time because of the
seemingly normal operation? Could it be the glow plugs? I have a fresh
set, of glow plugs and a spare controller but would like to have an idea
of what's going on before I start swapping parts around.... Thanks in
advance for any replies.
Thanks,
Tony
