Like I said, check the intake manifold bolt hole angles. If the engine already has an n/a manifold then who cares about the GF?
Are you suspecting Chinese knock off heads? If so, buy another block. If the heads are original, then who cares about the stamp?
???
OEM heads are AMG /Detroit Diesel.
N/a heads differ slightly from turbo heads. Turbo heads will not accept n/a manifold. The head bolts attaching the intake manifold to the head come in at different angle. You can identify with long bolts. Just place bolts in the intake manifold holes in...
If you remove the engine, transmission, transfer case, you have an extremely reliable paper weight.
If you replace the power train with a non-standard unit, you create an unreliable vehicle as everything you do will be custom one off.
Excellent. I just missed out on getting the newly unobtainable Shepard setup. I’m in the 220k region with my rig. Maybe not the strongest steering gear, but will be more easily serviced or replaced I guess.
Separating the cooling stack might have unintended consequences. It might allow air to leak in from the hot engine bay rather than from the grill.
I think a clean stack is a good stack.
On gasoline engines especially if a friend is using crappy oil, yes. My engines all were bought new so Mobil1 from the start and no wash necessary.
On my Diesels, unless there is a stuck valve, no.
Why not send to a paint shoppe and get custom graphic painted on the stock grill. Safer. Then get a jeweler to put her birthstone or a diamond on a custom HMMWV key fob.
Is this tool compatible with your blinker assembly system? Does this tool have a users guide? Is this tool 24V compatible, or does it need a power inverter?
😉😜🤪
Great idea. Similar to brake system tools I’ve made. Try using a piece of thick solid steel and drill and thread two screws and...
Ruh rho Shaggie. This thread is so old it’s a g-g-g-g-g-ghooooost.
Johnhatem, you should consider sending a PM directly to 86humv. Probably would be faster and more effective.
Good luck with your rig!
If you have a tranny fluid pressure gauge, bowtie overdrives has a guide. Either that or take to experienced tranny shoppe to adjust for you. If you get this wrong you will blow the tranny.
I have no affiliation with blue hummer or mm. I feel that if you keep up on the system like you say in your post, you are probably safe. For the rest of us lazy bastids, blue hummers are an additional safety factor.
Please post images of the later version you’re referring to, as I think I know...
Dude! I don’t understand your denial of this issue. The freakin’ thing was loose. It was loose on a used driven military vehicle that was sold on GovPlanet. The hub was properly closed and sealed. These things when properly installed are torqued down and can’t be twisted by finger. They don’t...
