    Which vent line? Fuel tank or driveline?

    Cooling upgrade system.

    Okay, I get you now. What I'm saying is it's not a fair comparison because those were solutions to non-existant problems promising unrealistic results. Where as, here, the original block design of this engine family did actually suffer from a real world design flaw resulting in cracked #8...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    That's definitely a fair point, which at least comes across to me, more specific than what it seemed Sintorion was implying in that these were some money making scheme on joe's part (or maybe just didn't word clearly enough to convey differently?). Rest assured I'll report any long term issues...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    Sintorion, The thing is, joe isn't the only one saying it's an issue. He's just saying he's got a different take on the solution for an apparent problem reported by people than what others have come up with. What are your thoughts on the kits offered by Predator for $850? Or the Flash...

    Humvee road trip reliability

    Add another in the "if you take care of it, it will take care of you" column. Just recently I drove my truck to a friend's an hour away and from there we drove both our HMMWVs to Haspin Acres in Indiana for the recent SS rally. About 2.5 hours out and 2 back for me. Zero issues except trying to...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    Sintorion, Let me preface this with I've got no connection to 911joeblow and no dog in this fight except I bought one of the kits. I don't get anything from anyone buying a kit. The type of test results you're expecting are only going to come from an engineering department with many thousands...

    This would have me pretty interested...

    Hmm... Those look familiar. :mrgreen: Had a great time! Was nice to meet the folks I did.

    After market seats or alternate seats for HMMWV / m998 ?

    Yeah, I saw yours. Those are the premium seats! :mrgreen: Mine are seats for an RG-33 MRAP and they're pretty nice too. Don't think I've seen the ones Sintorion used before though.

    After market seats or alternate seats for HMMWV / m998 ?

    Those look great! I'm set for seats in my truck but, any details on them like original application or NSN so I can recommend them to others who might want a seat upgrade? I looked back in the thread but didn't see them referenced.

    Hmmwv 6.5l purchased, turns out to be a 6.2l

    Seconded. He was great to deal with when my "no leaks" truck was picked up with a heater core leak.

    HMMWV skid plate kit questions ?

    Like so... The plate is flexible enough you don't need to drop the tank and can do one end at a time. Just make sure your tank is low on fuel to reduce the weight of the tank being supported by a single strap.

    M1123 Purchase and Build Thread - Virginia

    But when you have two nearly identical trucks, with one having a branded title and the other not, with no appreciable difference in safety equipment, federal legislation could quite easily remedy that difference for the better. ;-)

    How to repair bent Rhino tire carrier pin?

    You should have text me! I've got the manual for it with the exploded parts diagram. It looks like the pin is integrated into what they call the "Double Pivot" (part #3).

    Tire pressure, mpg, ride quality

    Sometimes... :mrgreen: Also the slightly higher rear pressure was recommended on the fender markings and in the TM. Plus, a bit of a habit from my work trucks/vans. (P.S. I miss the old avatar... :-()

    Tire pressure, mpg, ride quality

    E Rated Goodyear MTRs. 45 rear, 40 front. Ride quality and handling is pretty solid. Was running at the pressure on the fenders at first (25R, 20F) and handling was quite sloppy. Aired up and it firmed up nicely. I do get a little bounce on the front driver's side corner at high speeds (right...

    Options for mounting spare in HMMWV bed

    The 16.5" tire/wheel design needs, at the minimum, a beadlock of some sort whether that is a PVC sleeve or, as originally designed, the runflat to safely keep the tire on the wheel. I once saw a really great cross section diagram showing the wheel bead angle difference between the 16.5" wheel...
