    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Great to hear. What's your "average" cruising speed and RPM with the 700R4 in your truck ?

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Yeah, I don't play that game ! UPDATE 3/23/19 Leaking transfer case was sent out for a full seal/gasket rebuild and is back installed in the truck and is nice and dry. Shop working on the truck has one day of wiring to finish up this coming Monday and then should be putting some well deserved...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Since I don't have a back window anymore (see below) the camera will act as my "rear view mirror". No back window = no rear view mirror hence the Back up camera being used as such. Is this not a good setup in your eyes ? I am confused..

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    We ditched the factory shoulder belts so I cold have a "clean back wall" for better words. We are installing some Ebay sourced lap belts offa CJ Jeep for the two rear seats. No one barely rides in the back of this thing anyways but it will be nice to not kill whoever does with no belts, o a lap...

    I cant take full credit for how killer my truck is coming out. I'm the idea man, and Bart and his crew at BTR RACING here in Chicago get the install credit.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Got my front and rear cameras working … Front Camera= Rear Camera= Sine I no longer have a rear window the rear camera is wired to come on with ign. to "act" as my rear view mirror. Then when need be I can flip a switch to change to front camera view to aide in parking or whatever.

    Temp just over 220

    A coolant "crossover" system is NOT a cure for whatever issue you may or may not be having. If the truck is running good and not overheating just roll with it. If it starts to run hot spend the $$$ and get a aftermarket aluminum radiator. Solves the overheating issue real quick !

    Once the truck is done and back in my possession I will take a bunch of videos, no worries !

    Best aerosol available similar to tan canvas top color.

    Nope.. Havent drove my truck since July 5th 2018.. Truck still has a lot of little things to be finished up before its done / road worthy AND for whatever reason my transfer case started leaking after it and the new trans were installed, so out it had to come and be rebuilt. Guess its not all...

    Rapco sells "carc" type paint in a rattle can. Some peiple say its has to much of a "sheen" but from what I have seen it dulls down as it ages.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    It wasn't "a question" really more of a statement. These trucks are just like Jeeps or a hot rod, they can be built in whatever way the owner who paid for it deems the correct way. Your the same type of guy who at a car show sits behind his $200,000 GTO in a lawn chair and watches to make sure...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Do you really need a gauge to tell you your air filter is dirty / in need of replacement ? I ditched mine to mount a tach.

    Adding Reverse Lights

    We ditched the muffler and high temp exhaust wrapped the entire exhaust and added a 4" tip. I still have yet to drive the truck with all the new changes and if I happen to not like it straight piped I will add a muffler back to it. We shall see..

    Adding Reverse Lights

    I live in Chicago, it takes a lot more then some bright reverse lights to start a fight around here..

    Adding Reverse Lights

    I got a Humvee ambulance reverse light switch and had to have a small bracket made to hold it to my new to me 4-speed shifter. So now like every other car in the world I put the shifter in reverse and my two square LED reverse lights and center mounted / under truck light bar come on. Works...

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Ask and you shall receive … That's all I have so far. I stopped by the shop today and for whatever reason the main seal of the transfer case is now leaking ! Wasn't leaking before or for the past year I owned the truck so who the **** knows why it is now ? So, tomorrow its coming out to be...

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    As of 3/5/19 the trans is fully installed in the truck and all seems to be well. The shop that is installing it for me is finishing up a bunch of little odds and ends before the truck gets its first shake down miles and we can see if this swap lives up to the hype. Installing a tach in the...
