FFS!!! Loosened axle after pulled out last offending bolt, undercarriage protection in the way. I cut some lateral steel plate, hoping that would be enough. Nope! Ladder bar is several millimeters too wide. Gotta drop the f’ing ladder bar. I’ll try jacking up the vehicle to drop the axle...

Yikes!

I want to do some custom work. Are there any aftermarket or AMG manifolds that are available that are more easily modified? Will any other type of engine manifold fit the n/a 6.2/6.5 n/an engine?

Read my signature line for discussion on PCB/EESS “glow plug box” rebuild. Feel free to ask questions. I’ve helped many fix their rigs.

Guys, you can spend $1600 for a solid steel top OR just custom cut a 42” diameter 18 gauge sheet steel piece to cover the turret hole and butt weld and hammer and dolly flat. Less than $50. HummerH1 made his whole hard top from scratch for less than $260. Aluminum is even easier. Just get a...

I was using 6-points. This bolt just wanted to play hard to get.

I’ll have pics later today

Yes mog. That’s what the original owner did. I’m now going back to replace with proper parts with the help of RWH.

Some of the original H1 were built with Chevy engines. They are called gassers. Many people throw in Chevy engines. Discussed here and that other forum.

Perhaps I posted the incorrect thread…. Plenty of people go gasser.

There is a guy doing this swap on the H1/HMMWV forum on: https://hummernetworkforums.com/ https://hummernetworkforums.com/threads/project-hercules-lt-engine-swap-with-8-speed.247965/

Your HMMWV torque converter will probably have the wrong stall speed.

Requires a minimum of new torque converter, new flywheel, new driveshafts, new 4L80e tranny, new shifter with new shifter shifter rod mechanism, new tranny crossmember support, new aftermarket custom programmed computer control for tranny, miscellaneous wiring. I did a 700R4 swap on my old...

The military unit is exactly the TH400 unit BUT it is missing the transmission park lock. You can add it to your transmission should you choose.

There are free technical manuals TM’s on this forum brother. Take a few to download them. There starts your road to salvation on all things HMMWV. Members are always happy to answer questions, but this also gives you tools to read. Confusing at first. Hang in there. Welcome...

I like the idea of a sine wave 24-12Volt power inverter to isolate you and protect you from the potentially harsh HMMWV electric climate. CamO is most qualified to ask about this.

I’ve been told the deep water fording kit can be a liability if you forget and leave things pressured up. I’m told you blow seals. IIRC, it was RWH who told me BUT im hoping I’m not misquoting.

Bolt is out. New FFS issue. Differential armor plate is so wide it prevents axle from dropping. The plate is attached to standard ladder protection. The plate is bent up from PO prior expeditions. I don’t like this plate. Anything that prevents quick trail repairs is bad. My plasma cutter...

Last seen May 1, 2019. IIRC, he got pissed off after people were critical about some work he had done to his rig. Unlikely you will receive a response.

That’s exactly the way to do it brother.
