Considering picking up an LMTV in the near future and wanted to check more current info on the relative gymnastics needed to successfully register one in state.
Related to running an 802a for backup coverage on the house. Installed a soft start on the heat pump today. I’m impressed on the reduction of inrush startup current. 82A to 30A so far.
Following TM I’ve turned the sag adjustment in clockwise 3/4 turn.
Note the adjustment does not like being turned in more than 1/4 turn at a time on mine.
Sag is now <3% under 85% load.
Seems pretty good for now 👍
I’m going to be testing my oil pressure with a mechanical gauge soon. Does anybody know offhand the thread pitch of the sensor? I was looking to put a tea fitting in.
I’m following TM sequence to service LH valve cover gasket. Plenum crossover and LH manifold must come off in sequence so as to not bend injection lines.

Regulator failed on the road today. I was fortunate to make it to my destination on battery.
Q: suggestions on where to source this regulator? New/NOS pricing seems to vary $600-$900ish which IMO is pretty dear for a voltage regulator.
I’m getting into the LR shaft to assess problems with the hub side joint. Referencing TM 9-2320-387-24-1 section 6-7 for ECV.
I’m not entirely clear on hub side joint disassembly. Any guidance appreciated.
Are cross/clips/roller cages available?

Thought the group might appreciate this. Torsen diff was destroyed in service. Wheel teeth are stripped and some of the helical gears are as well. Fortunately the ring & pinion survived.
Going back together with new bearings and a replacement Torsen….

Removing rear diff for service. The driveshaft to pinion bolts are stuck well. Tried WD40 in the back side of the bolt hole bores along with mapp gas heating. No joy.
Trying air hammer flat anvil on the pinion next. Then destructive removal.
Any other suggestions?

I need to clean up the valley to remove an accumulation of sand and clear the drain. Also need to validate the IP and feed hoses are no longer leaking (hoses and IP lines were loose).
Q:
Access is really limited even with the intake tube removed. What’s the best way to gain access...
Scored a pair at auction but does not include buckets. What bucket do I need or gut the composite bucket to mount?
Looking for TM coverage as well.

We’re looking at retirement location options a few years out. Curious what the feasibility if any is to retain my HMMWV on island.

M1151A1. Radiator brackets have separated from the top tank. I’m looking to solder them back on. Q: Are they riveted together OEM or soldered/brazed?

I have an 1151A1 with a broken rear variable spring. I’m looking at the standard 10K variable springs vs the HD variable springs. Can the 10K variable springs be used (I’m not planning on running armor or heavy payload on this one). The UOC calls for the HD spring but these are comparatively...
