Yes, Diesel and Greasel is all you can feed the 6.2 and 6.5 GM diesels

Congratulations. If the body is not too rusty, you got a good deal there. The engine is pretty simple and old school with a Stanadyne rotary IP and conventional injectors. (The 7.3 Powerstroke is more complicated with the oil powered and electrically triggered injectors). CUCVRUS here on this...

Thanks for your comments and suggestions. The Marine Corps vehicles currently on GP are way too expensive and do not have a turbo. We drove roads in the 10,000 feet range with our previous M998 and there is not enough oxygen to make the diesel perform without a turbo. By the time I am done...

Got a M998 chassis today (M1038 were going too high) with 3200 miles, overhauled in 2006, with a 6.5L GEP NA in non-running condition. Missing hood would have been replaced anyway to fit larger cooling stack. The MWOs are up to 9.2320.280.20.1 What other upgrades should I consider? A 6.5L...

Thanks. I like the looks of the 2-litter body better and it will provide enough space for our needs. The 4-litter would be more top heavy and more cumbersome on trails. Does anyone know the height from floor to roof for the 2-litter body?

Opinions/Ideas for HMMWV 6.5 Turbo camper project I sold my M998 2-man with troop carrier canvas today mainly because we have to move back to the East coast (at least for a while). Having to move this beast over 2000 miles was not an appealing proposition. On the East coast I have my own land...

uaintl-2008 on ebay is sold out of the fasteners but there are other sellers. The other fasteners are not too expensive to try whether they fit.

Does anyone have a source for the quarter turn fasteners that hold the two-man roof down on the backside of the B-pillar/arch? What is the military name or NSN for these doohickeys? I found similar fasteners from marine supply places but I would rather install the real deal with the correct...

Thanks all for the helpful info. If I understand it correctly: The M998 would require a 6.5L GEP Turbo engine plus modifications to body, doghouse, and exhaust. The 6.5L GEP NA block would be a better candidate for a side turbo setup in a CUCV (with a custom oil feed and return for the...

Using a chemical stripper on the polymer material would probably be a bad idea. I plan on having them gently sand/soda/corn blasted, then prime them with Epoxy primer/filler, wet sand, and finish with Gillespie paint. There are also pre-cut metal sheets available on ebay that get riveted on the...

This is NOT for a CUCV but for a M998. Rear mount turbo is what I need. Just wondering whether the turbo plus intake header from the turbo engine will fit the NA block. Again, this question pertains to the GEP blocks.

Can they be drilled, tapped, or faced without taking the whole thing apart?

What are the differences between the 6.5L GEP NA and 6.5L GEP Turbo (other than the obvious addition of a turbo charger)? Is the angle of the intake headers the same and can the turbo with manifold be added to a 6.5L GEP NA engine?

I have an extra TV bracket for the 700R4. Got one on ebay and while waiting for the shipment found another one locally. Please PM.

Another big THUMBS UP for JWade. I had a similar issue with an M998 missing the data plate and JWade was very prompt to reply, courteous, and helpful.

This would save a lot of work on building a habitat. And something like the Switch-N-Go system would make changing habs or beds easy. I have seen this in person on a Fuso and it is pretty cool. Not too difficult to fab yourself, actually.

I guess, that's the 21st Century's version of circling the wagons.

Yes, Ron's Diesel on 287 has several MVs on the lot. They use a M936 Wrecker for their towing business. When I buried my M1009 in a huge snowdrift at Copper City last February, I asked them for help. Unfortunately, their driver was ill and they would not let me borrow the wrecker for insurance...

There is a LMTV in one of the industrial parks off Huffine Road. I do not know whether the owner is a member here but I will ask when I get a chance. I'll PM if there is a opportunity for a drive (which I am also interested in).

I guess I was lucky when I towed a M720 from Ft. Meade for about 80 miles North without any problem, going as fast as the speed limit. But that also proves that there must be some adjustment (toe-in?) that prevents these things from wiggling. FWIW, the spring bags on my dolly were flat when I...
