    foaming power steering fluid and hard to steer

    GovPlanet to charge more for SF-97s

    Does it really matter to the guy who buys one hmmwv? Maybe 2? I buy trucks every week, multiple at a time…..to myself and other companies, it’s just another added expense, I personally wouldn’t have a problem with the increase if they could get the SF97 in a reasonable amount of time, but in...

    M11XX series, remove snout/rebuild front

    You cannot keep an ECV radiator with the old style hood, the radiator has a 12in support extension that goes in place of the 4in extension, it’s physically impossible. I’ve done many Turbo drive train conversions that use the A0-A2 non-ECV cooling stack just as the H1 does.

    Hmmwv reliability

    Really? The hmmwv is 38yrs old…the JLTV is NOT replacing the hmmwv, it’s supplementing it, the JLTV has the worst NMC rate of any vehicle ever rolled out, The Army moved JLTV funds to acquire more Hmmwv’s due to JLTV NMC issues, so just how bad is the hmmwv? oh, and the USMC isn’t set to retired...

    REV truck?

    special? well….it’s a superior gear for off road, a pavement pounder won’t ever realize any difference. the beefier gear, pitman, idler and center link are all specific to the shepperd gear, it was upgraded due to the heavy armor on the later model trucks.

    REV truck?

    They are Pre-REV, they have Sheppard steering gears… for all intent, anything below 300k is an ECV, only 300k and above are REV.

    REV truck?

    SN above 300k are REV truvks…so they bring a premium, GFD, Wilwood brakes, 3 piece frame rails, MP2225 Tcase…many builders are using this platform for builds as its top of the food chain.

    400a to 200a conversion

    You need the spacer, 200 amp rear support bracket and 200amp rod bolt…The old 400amp rear supprt won’t work. Also remove the extra starter positive cable and extra ground cable that runs to the extra battery box ground stud.

    Moving Injector Pump..

    You don’t need a tool to move the pump, just a breaker bar in a spot that won’t vent or break anything on the pump, use the engine block as a leverage point, your not going to move the pump all that much to advance the timing.

    You can’t get the quart of more of oil out of the oil cooler, so you oil is instantly black on these trucks. 15w-40 has a detergent for the high ash content of diesel engines, that’s why its literally the go to oil for all diesels,
