1987 Slantback with 6.2 and currently with TH-400.
So, about to do a lot of stuff, and I figured if I'm gonna do a Bowtie 700R4 swap to my Slantback, I might as well consider swapping in a 2WD capable transfer case.
I want to do highway vacation driving, so 2WD should help with MPG relief...
M1102 TAN with Fiberglass top, CAMO.
1) Is there a good thread about routine maintenance and essential upgrades?
2) What is best paint and supplier to paint tan CARC to Green with added Camo? I would prefer all one color, and my HMMWV is Camo too.
3) Any threads particularly devoted to M1102...
1987 Slantback.
I read elsewhere that driving out of country can be an issue.
Anyone drive to and from Ontario or Quebec from New York in a HMMWV? How's about with pulling a M1102 trailer? Any issues?
I would like to use my rig as a truck to drag me from ski slope to slope.
Purchased a M1102 with fiberglass military top. It is in good condition. It is full of equipment.
It is currently in Salem, NC, 27107. I need it transported to my parking lot in Brooklyn, NY, 11235.
It has a pintle. I can unload from shipping truck with my HMMWV if needs be.
I've never used...
Starting to dissect and rebuild my HMMWV PCB. I want to find male and female plugs to cut into and attach waterproof to the PCB box. I want remote switches and pushbuttons that will support 24V and 20amp, with 8 guage wire. I want to place watertight plugs on the side of the PCB box, and run low...
Bought a PCB box on Fleabay to make a simple Integrated Circuit delete unit.
Opened the box up and found no evidence of burnout or water damage... Looks pristine. If it is a good unit, I would hate to destroy it.
Is there any way I can test it besides mounting it to my HMMWV?
What glow plug...
I want to change to "closed end" wheel lug nuts in order to reduce corrosion and "frozen lug nut" issues. I live by the Atlantic Ocean, and oil and anti-seize require periodic re-application.
What dimension lug nuts do we use on our HMMWV's?
TIA

EDIT - I have searched acorn nut, lug nut...
I'm not trying to speak sacrilege here, and I don't want to precipitate a war of words. :shock:
How might I build a manual control box? My 24Volt Landcruiser just uses a glow wire to show glow plugs are ready, and then she just starts right up with the twist of a key.
Civilian 6.2 Diesel...
After all these years I never thought to look up or ask. I never thought about the ratios inside TH400 trannies despite swapping dozens.
Are all TH400 transmissions geared the same way? Do some have taller gears than others?
Can a TH400 from a Chevy 454 or Chevy 400 big block with the...
[I've been away a while... New house and moving and building up my new office and such. My apologies.]
6.2 liter, M1025. 1987
Engine runs smoooooth (for a Diesel). Starts super quick and smooth at 50 degrees F.
What a kick in the pants around town but SLOW to accelerate. I got a TESLA X P100D...
New York State registration procedures... My suggestions...
I only just went to the department of motor vehicles.
I went prepared with a picture of the vehicle identification plate mounted to my HMMWV. This made confirmation of the abnormal vehicle identification number much easier and I was...
I am considering a 6.2 to 6.5 liter TURBO swap.
I hear rumors about requiring a 2 inch body lift kit. I also need to know about issues with fuel return lines and compatability of new style fuel injector pump with old style vehicle.
I can get a 6.5l TURBO rebuilt block with alternator and new...
Like it says.
I bought the bumper and the tire/wheel carrier that lowers to the ground (I would rather not be lifting 150lb wheels mid-Winter on slippery ice).
I bought the attachment support rods seperately.
I have no washers, lock washers, spring washers, nuts or bolts.
What bolts do I...
Just like it says...if I buy a set of rivnut inserter tools and such, what are the most important sizes and what is the best place to purchase?
Better brands?
After all these years I never really used them. Now I believe it is time.
Is there a tools section on this Forum? Is there a forum...
Driver's side windshield wiper arm does not park at the 4 o'clock position but hangs at the 5:30 position when the motor swings it back and forth it only traces an arc from 8:00 to 5:30 with me sitting in the driver's seat looking out the window. Passively, when the motor is off, I can push it...
supporting vendors are awesome.
the problem is that big bulletin boards like this have many different vendors that do not support all of the forums. vendors could display their wares in a targeted audience so that people with Hummer parts would be differentiated from people with Duece or 6WD...
I believe you guys 100% and I'm glad I read this BB prior to working on certain issues.
But it still does not make any sense to me.
Why does working on electrical systems without disconnecting the battery in this vehicle kill the KDS/Nartron?????
What exactly is going on in the system.
ALSO...
Not sure where to mount in front or how to mount to front or if Military mount meant for hydraulic winch will fit this winch.
Physical mounting, [although tips about running the wires are appreciated I really need to know how to bolt the darned thing to my vehicle.]
Searching the BB only...
