Friday, August 14th the Town of Canton, American Legion Post 61, and the Haywood County Rotary Club will be hosting a fundraiser to support Honor Air. If you are not familiar with Honor Air they are the group that raises money to send WWII veterans on all-expense-paid trips to Washington DC to...
I would shop around for a used 6.5 turbo setup. One from a 90's 6.5 will work with just a bit of fitting, and if you shop around you can put it all together pretty darn cheap.
My civilian pickup with the 6.5 has an electric pump that makes changing filters a breeze, that inspired me to install electric pumps on all my CUCV's I have owned.
Flip the switch, push the air out, flip it off. As a plus if your mechanical pump ever fails, the electric is right there and...
Which model truck and I will try and get one, turbo or non-turbo, what transmission?
I have run in to that problem, more than once, and almost every time the cause was the wiring harness rubbing and shorting out allowing the circuit to backfeed or a relay in the start circuit that went bad and...

It looks like you can buy there here:

CME Arma in Miami may have them as well
If you have velcro like that, it is a very safe bet your truck has been to the National Training Center in CA, JRTC (Fort Polk) in LA, or the CMTC in Hohenfels Germany.
I can't think of any other places where I have seen MILES used on trucks like that.
Honestly, not much is needed for long term storage if you buy clean, dry fuel, put it in a clean, dry, unvented container, and store it with the conatiner nearly full with little air to allow condesation.
Water is the enemy, and water causes most of the problems with stored diesel.

I live in Hendersonville, work in Clyde, and some of my trucks are in Canton- so I am all over!
The rally looks like fun, too bad I have drill that weekend.
If your block casting # is 10149599, 12552929, 10237141, or 12555506you have a newer engine with a one piece rear main and the newer style pan that may not work. The last three are 6.5 only blocks, the "599" could be a 6.2 or 6.5.
That sounds right. I have done swaps both ways, the newer HMMWV oil pan will not fit- nor would it fit in my 94 Chevy 2wd pickup when I put an 04 AM General 6.5 in it.
The even newer version AM General has out definitly will not clear.
Make sure you use the HMMWV dipstick!
Hello from NC. I have been in and out of the MV hobby to varying degrees as time allowed for the last 15 or so years, I was on the mil-veh list back 10 or so years ago but eventually dropped as other things took my time and I scaled back my collecting. I found myself coming here more and more...
