    LS swap headers -what did you use?

    Factory LS exhaust manifolds look like the passenger side is going to cause issues, since the passenger side dumps down and back. On the 6.5 Detroit the passenger side goes straight back. Im curious what others have used, seems like the only thing that comes close to mimicking the passenger side...

    LS motor mounts -what’s available

    Trying to find a nice motor mount setup to stick the LQ9 into my m1123. What’s out there? Looks like Mountain Machine makes a nice setup but it’s $650. Is there a purpose built mount out there?

    LS swap lower radiator hoses????

    All, I acquired an unexpected project vehicle that is a m998 with a 6.0 and 4l80 swap in it. I'm curious what others have done for a lower radiator hose from the water pump to the radiator. I've got a few hoses that are questionable and leaking and just thinking there has to be a better way.

    Humvee Body Lift

    Can someone give me a lesson on Body Lifts for Humvees? Specifically a M1123 model? I'm looking at what's available online and Im gravitating to the steel brackets.

My only criteria were that it had to be clean, ideally a troop carrier, and I wanted to keep the initial investment as low as possible. I came close to buying a...

    Using 4l80 in Humvee with LS?

    Ive exhausted my keyboard trying to figure this out. Can the factory 4l80 in my Humvee be used with a LS engine, such as a Lq9? Anyone gone this route and used a Holley setup with the gauge pack/screen from Holley? If this is even possible is the stock humvee torque converter ok or does it need...

    GovPlanet HMMWV without serial number

    Looking at scooping this up but have no experience with HMMWV or those without serial numbers or data plates? Anyone bought one missing the data tag? I see a few past auctions with trucks missing the tags. Just feel like the information has got to be on the SF-97? If anyone has any first hand...

    M1101 just rescued from Gov Planet (GovPlanet Refugee)

    Hey guys, got my first M1101 trailer. Love it! got to from GovPlanet in Butner NC. $700 won it and out the door it was $980 with SF97. I’m sure a lot of people have gotten better deals, but I’m stoked about it. Seems like one of the hubs is warm and the other is cool. I suspect the castle nut...
