Oh...and un-bypass the t-case cooler after you have changed the o-ring and driven a while to verify the fix. I just published an article about this... https://gear-report.com/humvee-diy-maintenance-hmmwv-transmission-vampire-repair

Had this exact thing happen in my m1038. Everyone screamed vampire, but that was not it at all. The transmission filter pickup tube is sealed to the bottom of the transmission by an o-ring. When that o-ring gets old the seal fails, the transmission sucks air and ATF. That causes foaming in the...

Here are all the things I tried and what I ended up with. https://gear-report.com/humvee-diy-upgrade-100-intercom-for-hmmwv-m35-and-loud-vehicles

Reinstalling the fuel injection pump after having it rebuilt. ... and a bunch of other stuff. https://gear-report.com/p/6cb

My camo M1038 came from the 82nd Airborne with a green one like that.

Installed Airlift bumper and pinball hitch. Sent IP to be rebuilt. REALLY hoping it comes back this week for installation over the holiday break. Finished installing the new round LED side marker lights. Installed one JW Speaker LED headlight to test against the military 24v incandescent light...

duplicate post... how do I delete this?

True... and they would be better protected below the mirrors.

Nicely done. I'll be interested to see how the blind spot cameras hold up. I'd knock those suckers off in a hurry.

The bottom of the IP in the M1045A2 sat in water for a few years while the USMC had the truck in longterm storage and was rusted solid. I pulled the IP to swap in a locally sourced replacement. Then realized the replacement is for a 3 speed truck, not a 6.5 with 4 speed. That is the last time I...

Same question here. I've emailed them before and never got any response. So, I got a few of these cheap and put them over the seat, with the chest molle panel facing aft. Worked better than I expected. https://ebay.to/2rtZYo7

Ah!... Yes. I know who you are. lol Joe is coming by in a couple of days to get the turret parts. James has been helping me with my truck, so he'll just bring the parts to me so Joe can get them. I'm thinking it shouldn't be too bad to drop a turbo in, but have heard such different accounts on...

I've heard that the body can be raised as little as 1/2". but 1" gives a bit more room to work. It's the electrical stuff that I'm most concerned about.

Thanks. I'm not that close to DE and have a source for turbos at a great price. I just need the details on what the differences are in a NA and turbo installation so I can determine if it is within my capabilities or if I need to have a local skilled HMMWV mechanic do it for me. :)

The frog dropped off of the radar when I left the air cleaner open overnight. I'm hoping it hopped out and got away. It could have also just burrowed deeper into a part of the air cleaner that is hidden from view. I don't know. As to the assessing my limitations... that is why I asked. If it is...

Right, but Steven also has decades of experience and a fully equipped shop. I'm far less experienced and equipped. An engine swap itself isn't a casual matter for me.

Yeah. I appreciate the feedback. I keep hearing conflicting reports on exactly what is involved in swapping a turbo into an A2 NA truck. I've had a few tell me it is a nightmare, and others say it is an "unbolt, remove, insert, bolt... done" operation.I've heard that a body lift and some...

It is proving to be an uphill battle, as every problem ID'd and solved seems to unleash a couple more problems. :) But, we are making progress. Got it up to 20 mph this morning!

Yep There were quite a few like this. Fresh engines at the 2007 reset... Then left to rot in storage, many with their intakes wide open. Sad.

I've seen that behavior when the batteries are a little weak. Not really likely if you have new batteries that are kept on a tender, but that is when I saw blinking. How often? I have not data on this at all. But I'd speculate that they are like any electronics. The longer they are exposed to...
