    Duramax vs Cummins HMMWV Conversions

    what's wrong with the 6.5 turbo engine, it propelled up armored rigs around pretty darned good. The dirtymax might fit better being a v-8 but why would you change to drive by wire ,on a vehicle intended to drive in deep water. If you want to,burn all 4 tires what is your plans for...

    Opinions on Oil Pump Needed

    A high volume oil pump will improve oil pressure on a worn engine. The reality is that the gear type pump a 6.2 engine has will seldom ever wear out. if it were mine I would clean up the screen and leave it alone. Be advised that thick oil in the cold can cause the drive rod to break or the gear...

    M819 wrecker questions?

    I have to agree with the others I do the same thing out here in western ak on dirt roads and un improved trails to gold mines I have chose to purchase an lmtv and build it for my needs. I see no need for more than 8000 pounds of lift, as that is what it will take to lift a transmission off one...

    anyone with a wrecker in the KAMO Tulsa area (need unloading assistance)

    don't know what the local wrecker rates are but I would find it hard to believe. rental rates are usually based on the hour meter if the engine isn't running you aren't racking up dollars. an hd wrecker is going to cost a couple hundred bucks just to turn the key.

    anyone with a wrecker in the KAMO Tulsa area (need unloading assistance)

    I don't know how its loaded if you can get to the rear with a loader than you can lift the rear with a loader and a sling than roll it off the trailer on the front tires. the rear shouldn't be that heavy I would bet it could be lifted with a 928 class loader.

    in the event you cant get a wrecker, you can hook it to a rigid tow bar cage the brakes and tow it off.

    TNriverjet's M1078 Thread

    the reason why the fittings didn't match, is air brake fittings are different sizes than plumbing fittings for copper pipe. You should have gone to napa they would have sold you the right fitting no messing around

    sca precharged coolant

    I buy the premix stuff out here quite a bit, if you are a 100 miles away from town finding good water to mix with might be hard, also the pre mixed stuff is made with distilled water much better for your cooling system to prevent mineral scale build up. that said you are getting half as much...
