    Passing power with the 4L80E or lack of

    You are simply expecting too much from the 6.2 in its stock form when you are running an overdrive plus oversized tires that also change the overall gear ratio. 33 inch tires + overdrive reduces your effective gear ratio to a 3.31 or close to it. With a stock 6.2 and gearing like that you can't...

    Keyed Igintion-are they really that expensive?

    This switch does it well, hidden out of sight by the battery box even better.

    M1009 Pintle Hitch Strengthening?

    Get a commercial hitch receiver and bolt it on. Run a pintle hook in the hitch. Like this one. You will spend more in material and time trying to rig something that probably still won't be a strong.

    Rivets on HMMWV

    Cherrymax rivets are what is used. You can use a manual or pneumatic puller, but for more than a couple pneumatic is the way to go. Plus it give a more consistent pull and grip.

    A1 handheld engine code reader

    Looks like they are just $360 on Amazon, that isn't bad at all. I agree that a Pro-Link or Cat ET does more, but you get into a lot more $$$. I have a copy of the Military version of Cat ET but can't legally share it.

    Dually conversion done simple on the cheap.

    Sell it, buy a dually for the same money, paint that green. No. Unless you mean keep it in the bed as you roll down the road on a proper dual wheel axle. In the bed to keep your old axle from rolling around.

    Since your bed has been customized it would be far easier for you to find a good M101A2 and swap the bed than try and swap axles, because then you keep the surge brakes.

    Has anyone converted a 6.2 into a turbo charged unit?

    Get a new mechanic. A head swap on a 6.2 is no more time intensive than a swap on a gas V8, and a helluva lot easier than re-engineering a whole system, and making custom manifolds.

    Has anyone converted a 6.2 into a turbo charged unit?

    Is your turbo and intake from a center mount turbo like the HMMWV and GM vans used or a truck style side mount? The center mount intake needed for a HMMWV requires different heads as well, you can't bolt it to a NA engine without swapping them. The side mount setup won't fit in a HMMWV.

    No ability to paragraph

    I am having the no space between words issue too. Chrome or Safari on my iphone both do it. The spacebar will not work, but if I hit return to start a new line and go back to the first line it works. Only happens on PM's, not posting to the forum. Happens on every device I use.
