Thanks [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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...

I just finished rebuilding a Sheppard box on an 1151a1. Seals are available from Sheppard as well as another aftermarket company. Internal parts are OEM only so if a M83P2 box needs hard parts the only option it’s to send it back to Sheppard for rebuild or core. I have a post on this topic...

New idler arm and resealed Sheppard steering gear are in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t often complain about corporate interests however this one is egregious. The HMMWV ECV/REV M83P2 steering gear produced by R.H. Sheppard (Spicer CV) cannot be effectively serviced in the aftermarket. Sheppard protects their remanufacturing business aggressively and will not source...

Finally finished replacing the power steering pump. The pulley was so stuck it required removing the cooling stack to get full access. Heat and tools to remove. Old pump bearings were gone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Steering gear removed for rebuild. Wow. So much structure to the Sheppard ECV/REV gear. Looking forward to having this done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, agreed on A pillar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Old thread I know... Looking at rollover pictures of LMTV and more recent related fatalities I'm curious if there is a commercially available ROPS/interior cage kit available yet. Easy enough for an experienced fabricator but seems like something MME/others could offer to the aftermarket.

Might be a tad close to the house for noise and fire risk? Do you have enough room to service the back side of the generator? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Front driveshaft center bearing. Easy procedure but broke my puller in the effort. Nice article on the procedure: https://www.flashoffroad.com/Maintenance/DriveShaft/front/frontdriveShaft.htm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Filled the front diff, bolted down the pinion side mount and ordered front driveshaft universal joints. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah, slight clarification… The front diff needed to be slightly adjusted where the frame brackets attach. Zero clearance for the LF caliper otherwise. Procedure is in the TM Managed to complete the LF brakes and half shaft bolts this evening. Diff alignment is good now. Have to say I like the...

Finally have the cooling stack off for service position. Next up: Center diff and finish LF brake. Water pump Power steering pump Rebuild front steering gear Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Set ran great for several years. I purchased in WA from GP. Only major work was replacing well nuts, filters and charging the batteries. Fast forward I had a fuel issue a few years ago during the winter that cleared up after replacing the water separator. This summer had a few hard starts...

Saw your video on the IP rail. Very helpful [emoji106] I doubt the rail/governor is at fault as the assembly moves freely at the throttle and solenoid arms. Thinking my next step is to remove and clean/inspect IP’s. Good opportunity to replace a seeping low pressure hose assembly. DC is...

Lovely job Siri... ;) Fuel stop solenoid is pulsing off of stop when cranking, not holding steady. Verified fuel pump is operational and delivering plenty of pressure to injector pump low side feed. Validated fuel pressure/feed at the filter output line. I was not able to get any high pressure...

Fuel filter and oil PMCS completed. Waiting on water separator part. Generator is acting like it has no gel fuel delivery. Fuel shut off solenoid is pulsing position off of stop on cranking. Tried running the fuel rail by hand during cranking-no difference. Next up is checking low pressure...

Disregard, MIP is functional and starter is no longer dropping out. Why? Not sure. All I did was look at FU1, and circuit breakers for MIP and DC. Going through PMCS now. Replacing fuel filters and oil service. Air filter is fresh/clean.
