Co going through the procedures in the TM, it calls for thread sealant. The specs on it are MIL-S-46163 Type I Grade K, which in a search comes up with a specific brand that holds that certification. Applications/properties shows it has high strength permanent threadlocker. I'd order the...

Yeah, reading through the TM it talks about the old and new configurations, so I'm really hoping mine (2000 M1123) has the new configuration. As much fun as it would be to pull it out and check the internals, the weather here isn't likely to be that cooperative and I've already taken over all...

So I know this is an older thread, but I have a related question. Looking at replacing my front diff output seal (looks like it's leaking a little, I saw oil inside the brake rotor vents) and the -20 says to disconnect/remove the brake line from the caliper. In this thread when removing the...

Yeah, while I was doing my crawl under in the dark parking lot I also found one of my halfshaft boots leaking (different location) so I have a set of boots coming as well (12k axles ain't cheap). I'm a little tight on money at the moment, so only have 2 of the bluehummer locking halfshaft bolt...

*sigh* As usual, the fun never ends. Went to hang out with some random people in another town, mostly because it was a block away from a store I like in that area. 75 miles from home. Nice night, clear weather but a little chilly. As I pulled into the parking lot I thought I heard a funny sound...

The high prices I quoted are mostly because of all the little things that you have to do along with it. A Duramax or Cummins engine, used, to go into an HMMWV can be purchased for $5-10k, depending on miles/condition. The rest of the cost is labor to do the conversion (which can be substantial)...

plus shipping brings it over $500. A lot more than I would want to spend without it being a necessity.

This sounds like you are doing it without reinstalling the runflats. For cg25713, if you are reusing/reinstalling the military runflat/beadlock there will be no seating the bead issues, as the bead lock design securely seats the bead of the tire against the rim when properly installed. I...

The biggest downside is you're looking at the cost of something like a duramax conversion to do this conversion as well. Is it really worth putting a $40-50k or more conversion in a $10k truck, that would maybe be worth $20-30k when everything is complete? (No idea if this is how the pricing...

An electric motor develops peak torque at stall. A chemical fuel powered engine doesn't develop torque until it's spinning at a high enough speed to efficiently intake air/fuel and compress it, then explode it. Basically the difference is for the electric motor you'll have your power highest...

It's a lot easier to carry fuel cans than it is to find an outlet. Then again, you can always just tow a 15k or larger single phase generator (do they sell a 3 phase charger?) and then be back into the same boat. The other hand once you dump fuel in you can go driving again immediately, with...

It really depends on what you use your HMMWV for. It wouldn't work for me because I tend to do heavy towing a lot mixed with long drives. Unless I wanted to take my generator with me everywhere to keep it charged up I'd be stranded a lot. Now if someone was building something like a rock...

You want TM 9-2320-280-20-2 chapter 8 "WHEELS AND STEERING MAINTENANCE" IT CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tms-for-the-m998-series-hmmwv.78861/ You will want to download and save to your computer every TM on that page, as it's all the tech and parts manuals. Once you...

Where is it that you ordered it from?

This link is to the datasheet showing the military cable connector identification system https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/18/Class%20L%20PDS-1157250.pdf And these links match what those numbers say, and also match the "UEC 32-12" spacer in the middle of the one you posted a picture of in the...

This picture is for Mk23 as we've been having a conversation and it doesn't let me post pictures in private conversations.

You just need enough weight on the tongue, making the tongue lower does help shift the center of gravity a little forward if you are low on tongue weight, but other than that I don't see how it would affect the amount of noise.

you have to add your own lights to use for reverse. Not sure about the rest.

With the 4 speed you not only have to buy the switch, there is also a little metal actuator plate to go with the switch and activate it. For me finding that was more difficult than getting the switch was.
