I like the idea. Here's my non-mil spec repaint and mount of a high-jack lift I did recently to kick it off if you want. I've really liked it so far, quiet and lets the tailgate still go down.

No I just drew it out on paper as its fairly simple in design and then bent it to shape after heating on a forge and mig welded it. You could probably bend it after heating with a rose bud torch if you heated maybe 10" of the bar.

Thats a nice clean install!

I use the shell rotella 15w-40 on the hmmwv and all other diesel tractors I have. I have heard some of the lighter full synthetics leak more from hmmwv's but that is info received second hand.

I plan on looking for a cargo cover (green is preferred but can paint) and supports if available for a 4-man HMMWV. I have a starter for a HMMWV that likely needs a new solenoid that I will have for sale if someone wants to tackle a rebuild or just need a core to send in. Its for a HMMWV and...

Mogman, thanks for the review. Were your previous tires the standard goodyear M/T? Just curious what the new one is quieter than. Are you running the same rims as before or new wheels as well? Thanks

Thanks for the explanation. I was just planning on doing this project myself after I get my starter issues worked out as I have one leaking as well. I appreciate the part numbers and explanation.

Thanks! I've logged several trips to the starter shop now. I'm leaning toward buying a totally rebuilt one and fixing this one as a backup or selling it as a core. The starter keeps making me feel nervous I'm going to get stranded somewhere and I need the truck for some projects I'm doing.

Here is a video of testing the starter. I’m thinking it’s spinning on the shaft. It started this time and we tried it 3-4 times after that and it didn’t spin but started with kind of a clunk as the starter gear engaged forward. I’m thinking it’s time for a new rebuilt starter.

Hi All. My starter and I are in a love hate relationship. I posted a while back that my starter wasn't fully engaging on my '93 M998 6.2L. Long story short I pulled it, took it to the starter shop and they rebuilt it fully and found that burrs had made their way into the starter and were...

One of the biggest advantages of the brakes beyond handling extra weight is the help it offers keeping the trailer from jack-knifing around you under hard braking. The weight your listing in my mind is kind of borderline from my experience. Its the gray area where brakes might not really be...

I ordered the adapter from XM381.com I have no affiliation with them but the mounted converter worked great and also maintains the military socket for resale value sake. It is not cheap but very well made and also gives you the future ability to add trailer brakes and a controller if needed.

It would have been great to have you stop past, but I may have had you help me push the intake manifold back in! It was a bear this weekend getting it back in myself after fixing some injector pump leaks. Mainly due to trying to work on the very center of the engine bay.

When my lines were leaking from the IP I discovered the drain was the accelerator, steering wheel or brake. All were highly effectively at getting all the leaked diesel that pooled directly onto my exhaust, starter, inner doghouse cover and then seeping into the cab.

Thanks for posting the research article. It was nice it compared some of the homemade ideas like ATF and used motor oil in their testing. Right now I use optilube which I buy by the case from the website that funds Jeff Bezos’s alimony. It adds a few dollars a tank but is easy to keep in the...

I had read the additives were important to help lubricate the injector pump in older engines when using ultra-low sulfur diesel. Is that true or old wives tales?

I'm hoping to not look at the injector pump for a while! We've spent a little too much quality time together! It appears the engine and injector was put in 2014 per the rebuild stickers I have found in different spots from the shop that worked on them at Ft Polk.

Bringing this thread to closure. First all leaks are fixed (yes I know... for now). So I took the intake off which gave a much clearer view of the injector pump. I took off the lines for 5 (the leaking one) and 7 so I could access the port on the injector. The lines and ports looked great...

Take a look at this thread here. Has all the dimensions, material requirements, etc. I build mine this year and its held up well. In the pictures in the thread you can see what I did for simple mounts that still allow it to drop. I painted mine with bedliner which is cheap and dries quick...

The increase in height of tire is divided by two. Half that increase goes above the axel, half goes down, correct? Its radius (half of diameter) you care about. So from a 37" tire to a 39.5" tire the overall radius of the tire increases (39.5-37)/2 = 1.25" With a 2" body lift the clearance...
