    Transfer Case Replacement Options

    I believe it is a 241 tcase. You will need to modify the signal generator for the speedo (there is a kit for it) and you may have to move the tcase towards the drivers side just a tad to allow clearance to the fuel tank (should fit but may rub in off road conditions). I had a 770r4 with 241...

    How hard to change out CV boot

    For military hmmwv's, there is at least 3 different halfshaft models: 7700, 10300 and 12100. All take different boot sizes due to the shaft diameter and the ends. Make sure you buy the correct boot kit. If you search for hmmwv halfshaft boot you find plenty of information on how to repair...

    Rear Halfshaft to Geared Hub Leak

    The diff output seal is amg specific. There is also a small filler seal that goes behind the shaft nut. Use a dab of Silicon to help seal and always use lock tight on nut. For seal installation, crimp new seal in a bit to form a taper so it goes in straight. use new Norlock washers and new half...

    Brought home three of the GovPlanet HMMWV's today

    Ron, I did not know I would create a mv monster a few years ago. I am really glad to see this all come together for you. Congratulations on amassing a great working collection. Now you need to add some HID light bars to them! Ted

    Question on IP fuel return & No start

    Did you have fuel in the "bowl" of the ip? Did you hear a click inside the ip when you switch power on? Also, the check valve on the outlet of the ip can stick shut from gumming diesel. Hopefully the ip shop can tell you if really needed to be rebuilt and what the problem is/was. Regardless...

    Question on IP fuel return & No start

    After you do what Steve said, try blowing air in to the return line from outlet of IP. Remove fuel cap and then blow air (low pressure) into the return line. If you don't hear air escaping out the tank, then you have a blockage in the return line. Replace the lines since it is easy and...

    m998a1 mpg

    When I refuel and someone asks me about fuel mileage in my hmmwv, I say it gets over 20 mpg. The look on their confused faces is priceless. It takes the wind out of their sarcastic reply.

    HMMWV LED 24V LIGHTS ?

    Regarding the headlight housing, the only difference between M series trucks and hmmwv's is the length of the stud on the rubber isolators. The hmmwv is approx 3/4" long and the H series trucks are approx 1/2". They can be changed though to fit your truck. New ones get be bought either thru...

    m998 and the 700R4

    I have had a 700R4 behind a 6.2 in a hmmwv slantback. It would go fast but it cannot handle the weight of the truck especially off roading. The 700R4 will fail sooner or later when used in this application. I done 4l80e conversions and Steve is correct, lots of work for just some speed gain.

    HMMWV slantback hardware

    I like how an A2 truck just appears. The b/w paint makes it look like a LESO truck. For the turret setup it is best to refer the technical manual. For us to tell you what is missing based on the picture, is a wild guess.

    Help assembling gas struts for slant back hatch

    Use grade 8 1/2-20 bolts with stover nuts and washers. The fender side wall requires a reinforcement plate held in by the 2 to lower bolts. Your angled aluminum piece is good though.

    Installing IbesTek front bumper

    Did you use the thick spacer plate with d-ring attached? It comes with new-in-box IbisTek bumpers. It is about 1/4" thick which sets the bumper forward thus allowing the hood to have a clearer opening. Also, metal housing front marker/blinker lights are a hair taller than the plastic ones...
