    Doesn't take much to stick my 1031

    I too run the Goodyear Duratrac in 235/85-16. My 1028A1 also has the front LS diff. I keep all four of them at 85PSI because I haul and tow heavy loads with it. They work well for me in South Texas mud. At times I have needed to shift the tranny into 2nd gear with the shifter. This puts the...

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    I ran 2 1/2 inch pipes through the quietest mufflers I could find on my 1028A1. Then turned it down just before the rear axle. There was a big difference in seat of the pants power. I hope you see a bigger gain than I did.

    LEO/FD HMMWV Check List & Part Numbers

    I wonder if you got one that was boxed wrong. That has happened to me over the years. Did they refund your money? Replace it with the correct one? Wheat did you end up using?

    The pics look good mike. So far what is your opinion of them? How is the quality? Do they look heavy duty? Do you think they will last?

    Alternator Pulleys

    https://www.rareelectrical.com/i-26914223-new-oe-style-isolated-ground-military-vehicle-cucv-12-volt-100-amp-alternator-fits.html I used these on my truck. They work well. Although there are no markings on them I assume they are made china.

    6.2 or 6.5

    A GEP engine is a engine made by General Engine Products. It is a higher quality engine than the GM version.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Changed/Flushed the fluid and filter in the TH400. I was surprised how clean the pan was when I pulled it off. Hardly anything in it at all. Maybe the mileage on the odometer was right after all.

    6.2/6.5l Turbo kits

    I can understand wanting to get their R&D money back. But is 50 Horsepower worth $4K? If I lived at higher elevations I could see a need for one. But not at that price. With so many trucks coming out maybe another company will produce one also. Nothing better than competition.

    Speed Test - M998 Non-Turbo 6.2L only

    Sorry I can't help you with the test. Mine is a 6.5 with a turned up pump. If you are loosing performance, try checking the fuel filter. When is the last time you changed it? Drain the water separator. Do you get any water out of it? It also could be the garbage they call Diesel that they sell...

    Mike, I just went out to the garage and measured one. It is .215 thick. So 1/32 less than a 1/4 inch.

    HMMWV Starter

    Yes your original starter for the 1028 will work with no problem. The Humvee starter uses the motor mount for the brace. Not the block.

    HMMWV Starter

    There might be a problem with using a Humvee starter in a 1028. The brace on the front of the starter is intergrated into the motor mount on the Humvee. On the 1028 it is a small brace that bolts to the block. You would not be able to brace the starter. You would run a HUGE risk of breaking the...

    Measure the thickness of you bolt head. I know flange bolts can be pretty thick. The OEM bolts are very thin. This is so they can clear the torque converter. If the ones you have are too tall, the converter will hit them before the hub enters the crankshaft bore. This would also keep the bell...
