Here is another SS thread on control boxes. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?29557-No-start-Bad-control-box&highlight=control+box

They are extended when resting. The installation is to hatch is to open up the hatch manually and over extend it so that the struts can be placed in their rested state. Trying to compress them sounds too dangerous for me!

You can install a 6BT from the front so I would guess you can install a 4BT from the front also. Pull cooling stack. Mark all wires and lines. Disconnect motor mounts from block and perhaps from frame. Remove all other items from engine and go. For extra working room, remove front tire...

See diagram in TM 9-2320-280-24-P1 figure 235. Each side consists of a long strut #33, a short strut #38, an outer tube #31 and an inner tube #37. The other parts are clamps and rubber seals. The outer tube should be on the upper strut, which is the shorter one mounted to the rear hatch, and...

The rear body to frame mounting bolts are notorious for rusting together in one piece and you cannot get them easily. What I do is put a big open end wrench on the tub side nut and a 3/4" drive socket with big flex bar and force them to snap. Works every time for me on several hmmwvs. BTW, a...

Thanks for the comps. A shout out to Steve K for doing a lot of work on it too. Truck is sold to a happy new owner. Mudflaps show up on an auction site so keep an eye for them. Next one is being prepped...

Enjoy.

The temp sender on crossover can be bypassed with jumper. By connecting/disconnecting the jumper the fan clutch should activate/deactivate. Regardless, the temp sender and the tdm are reasonably priced and spares should be kept. Good luck! And yes, fail mode is to keep fan clutch engaged to...

Unfortunately Ron, you will need shorter rear half of the front drive shaft and a longer rear drive shaft. This is because the 3 speed tranny is shorter than the 4 speed.

For those with 2.56 ratio differentials, these are the bearing numbers and seals for easy cross referencing if/when you maintain the hmmwv. Carrier Outerbearing set LH & RH Gvt buys them in a set of cup & cone Timken LM603049 LM603012. Alternate GM 7451140. Pinion bearing set large M802048...

Remember, slant back hmmwv's leak when raining, snow melting or even in sunshine (lol). So plan accordingly when placing items in the bed and or under the turret. Plastic tubs are best.

Go to the first page of this thread, tons of pictures. Thanks for doing the link, nwmules. These are military 24vdc off road light bar kits. NOT Police, no sirens, no strobes, no blues, no reds. Just good old HID / Halogen light bars with IR lights. Made for lighting up the scary off-roads...

Hi guys. Good news is that I have these complete kits still available. Specialized hmmwv brackets for the 66" HID and the reinforced steel flat brackets for the 78" Halogen pm me if interested and big discounts on multiple purchases. ITAR restricted items and no exporting. These light bars...

Here are two inside turret picts and the exterior of the M47 at The Jacques Littleton Collection...I wish it was mine! He trimmed it out nicely inside.

Thanks murphy. My father worked on those in Korea. He complained about the hot rod drivers jerking the joystick forward and then reverse to hard/fast, thus taking out the final drive. Those are nice tanks and I am happy to see another one in private hands.

I do not have one. However, is your M47 Patton tank have the joystick drive control? If so, please let me know. Thanks.

Actually I opened the door on it last night and the new vinyl smell was very potent! Steve, I have 4 on deck as well and perhaps 2 years out. Fun fun fun.

Steve, I can't stand it either. Once this truck leaves I will clean out the shop. At least the 6BT setup is moved out of the shop, but I still have 6.2 setup in there...can you see it?! Thanks for the comments guys.
