What kind of cradle or pintle do you use to mount the 1919? I have a semi 1919 that I want to shoot from mine but I have yet to dive into finding the right kind of mount. Augi

AM General called it a hummer when they pitched it to the army. There are brochures and other documents around with hummer all over them.

This has been around for years and went nowhere. Production units were supposed to have a soft sidewall to keep the honeycomb from filling up with crap.

I have never weighed my 12 bolt wheels with Goodyear MT's, but the quoted weight for that combo is 165 lbs and I believe it after lifting dozens of them. I believe the rim construction is similar, you just have minor additional weight from the extra 12 studs and nuts. Doing 96 nuts is a real...

There are two types of 12 bolt wheels. The heavy wheels have a 13th hole for aligning the halves and the light wheels do not. You can not mix and match wheel halves, but you can mix wheels on a vehicle. The o-rings are different between the two as well. For the light wheels they are readily...

That's the rear winch. Mounts under the back bumper, I think at a slight angle. You have to run hydraulic lines to the front of the truck and there is a manifold that mounts to the body by the hydroboost somewhere. Augi

What are they doing with a space shuttle in the background?

Not quite the same as an H1. Setting the toe is the same as any other vehicle (just loosen the two clamps and turn the tie rod). Setting the castor and camber is achieved by shimming the upper control arm mounting brackets away from the frame. Add or remove the same thickness shim from both...

It seems that there is a part for 92,93 and a part for 94+. The PN I listed is for 94+. The military TCM that I would hook it up to is out of a late model HMMWV, so the ratios are all in the ballpark. The only reason I mentioned the van is because I read somewhere that the computer guts are...

So I've done some more research and it looks like the part is usually called an oil pump drive. They come with (for auto tranny's) and with out the speed sensor (for manual tranny's). The part number is: ACDELCO# 21597 and GM# 07849305. Apparently this sensor supplies four pulses per crank...

Knowing about that sensor is incredibly helpful! Having to swap the front of the engine to add the speed sensor is the only major hurdle to prevent a person from using the military transmission computer when they do a 4l80e swap. Anyway I'm excited that you just knocked that one down for me...

The rims with paired studs have a slightly higher load rating.

The 4l80 probably has the 242 transfer case adapter on it. You need to get the one for the 218. I don't know if the tranny side of the adapter is the same between the 3l80 and 4l80.

I didn't realize you were using an aftermarket TCM. In that case you can use the RPM sensor on the back of the block. It is only hooked into the STE/ICE harness so it is ok to disconnect it from what it's currently connected to. Since it runs at half engine speed you would need to set the...

Lots of good info over on the G. The fan cutout switch gets moved over to the left head and the TPS goes on the IP in it's place. G503.com Message Forums • View topic - TPS on IP for 6.5NA and G503.com Message Forums • View topic - A2 fan cut out switch for 6.5NA BTW how are you going to...

You don't need a third battery. If you run a wire to the positive lug of the lower battery (the same place the 12v tap from the regulator will be connected) you can bypass the ignition switch. Augi

The engine must be running for the alternator to provide power. The batteries will always provide power though. Typically the battery power is run through the ignition switch or a relay tied to the ignition switch so the batteries aren't drained when the engine is off. Augi

With the dual voltage alternator, the 12v tap connects to the positive side of the low battery. This keeps the low battery charged if it were to drain at a different rate from the top one. They are actually powering the trans computer just this way, by 'center tapping' the two batteries. For...
