Whats involved in changing out the front seal on the engine? Not available? Size? I would imagine the oil pan on that thing would weigh a pretty penny. Not to mention take a LOT of oil.

I tell you what, tonight is a 2 beer night! Thanks for the suggestions. After checking the intake ports again I see valves on both sides are looking a little rusty. I told myself if these heads ever need to come off I was going to install an ARP head stud kit while I was at it. Got everything...

I am picking up head gaskets, new head bolts and some valve lapping compound next. Something tells me it's VERY possible that there could be more stuff in the suspect cylinder where I found the hardware laying. I want to be darn sure! If the heads come off I'll be pulling out the old blue point...

I thought on a whim I would pull the intake on the 6.2 tonight to see what the valves looked like. Little surface rust on them but nothing too bad. Peeked inside intake port above cylinder #3 and found a screw, a washer and a metal tab sitting ontop of the valve. Literally weeks away from...

You NEVER think this stuff will happen to you, that you will always be the lucky guy and everyone else gets douped. I've had my 6.2 HMMWV in my M211 for several months now slowly gathering the parts needed to do a first fire up. I am a couple weeks away from firing it up since I have...

Well what do you guys expect for a transmission used in the Stuart tank? :lol: Seriously, really glad to hear you got it going. Really looking forward to some video too man, good job. You've earned a couple cool ones. :beer:

Hundy at 100dollarman in California uses the stock deuce rims even the stock tubes on his 1st 395 mounting. But he did mention for all other future projects he'll be using the proper tubes.

Larger tires do help mileage, especially when going from the hard bias ply tires to modern radials. But remember, most deuce owners are going from 40" 9.00's to the 46" michelins. That's quite a jump in size. If I recall your 11.00's are already 43". Super singles are also $300+ each (around...

Yes sir you do have a clean little Jimmy, I too hope you decide to keep it. If you do send it to the bone yard, remember what we don't know what hurt us!

Awesome pictures of the removal! I have only seen the complete power unit removed in the tiny fuzzy black and white manual photo's. To see it live in color on a modern day computer screen is just bad azz! Thanks for posting this picture. I was considering mounting the Chevelle radiator in my...

Well buddy I don't want to pour salt into your wound but your numbers are correct. I do not remember which year cummins you are running but the early B series 5.9's will all hit peak power/economy at 1600 to 1700rpm which is going to put you between 45-50mph for best power through the gears and...

I was looking into this myself recently, old thread but a good one (this stuff is always good to know). Atleast for the 6.2 which is noted for having an inherently weak crank, I would advice staying with the chain setup. This article about the Fluidampr briefly tells about how crankshaft...

Just thought I would post a comparison between vehicles. Their power to weight ratios and final drive ratios. Love playing with these numbers, really helps when it comes to modifying a vehicles power train and drivetrain. The CUCV and HMMWV numbers both assume 250 ft lbs of rated engine torque...

Oh wow! I did not know they were that inexpensive. I will give him a call today and offer him $100 for them. Thanks guys!

Okay so $100 for the 5 bows. What about the 10 steel corner pieces? I figured another $100 for all of them. Do the steel corners slide onto the troop seat frames or is there some type of wood piece you slide in first to stick the elbow onto? So I figure between $200 and $250 for a full cargo...

Oh boy, not sure how to check if the fuel has been screwed with at all. Does it smoke at all under normal everyday driving conditions? If not you should be free to turn it up an 1/8 of a turn. Go to youtube and type in 6.2 fuel turn up as well as google. There are a bunch of tutorials and even...

What's the going rate for a set of deuce cargo bows and uprights? Guy has some on an old M35 and I offered to buy them. He has no idea what they are worth and I told him i'd get back with him.

I am curious if your blow by increased or decreased with use? I've personally never felt it was a big deal and just assume throw a deuce style slobber tube on mine if it has excessive blow by.

I feel like I've dragged a whole bunch of folks out of the 700r4 closet. I'm tho thpecial. :beer:

No problem with the thanks button. That's what it's for, and few forums have it. It encourages people to make useful and informative posts rather than just post to build up a useless post count.
