There is little to no blow by and the engine runs fine. The first indication is there is oil seeping out of the cross over on the intake. The next indication is there is oily soot in the tail pipe. I don't have much experience with the turbo engines and is this normal? It only smokes at startup...
Sorry about the curiosity but it has a hold of me. I have been wondering a few things about the Auctions and one thing on the HMMWV.
First question I have is why are a good number of auction trucks seem to have had the belt(s) cut or removed? I was guessing this this was an anti theft thing but...
My truck was one of the de-armored trucks. The lower inside A pillar don't have a cover like on the un-armored trucks. Is there a part number for these? I looked in the TM and didn't see them. Or is there someone scrapping out a body where I could get them? Picture below is the right (pass) side.
I took my M1152A1 out for the day on it's first shake to see how things are running. The truck drove well and ran really good and strong. One of the things that I noticed was how much the fan was cycling. It was a relatively cool day (upper 60s) and doing highway speeds and the fan cycled on a...
Every time I take a hose to my M1152A1 I get sand washing out of everywhere. I take it Ill never get all of the sand out ... Its like my own little Socal beach...
I am installing a soft top on my M1151 and have a question. I see there are location holes for the weather seal the thumb turn things fasteners on the windshield frame. I don't see location holes for the side rails to install the rivnut. Also I have a NOS B pillar and don't see a location hole...
I haven't been able to locate a good fording valve system schematic/diagram. I want to put the system back together. I have all of the parts just need to know how the vent lines go. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
They took or the yard apes ripped of the outside T handles on my M997A2. found these and they seem to the an exact fit... at least for me. Also you can use the rubber part to fix your broken dog house T handles.

I have just picked up a M997A2 and have some questions. But first let me tell you the condition. It is a non runner so I have no idea if it runs. My gut feeling is it will but some things need to be address as they all do before I attempt to start. It is missing the trans oil dipstick and tube...
I am looking to get some of that black wire the use in the vehicles. Anybody have a place they would recommend? I think I want 14ga... at least 100 feet.
When they demilled the armor they removed the air cleaner clamps. I seen whether 2 clamp to the body. Where did the third clamp camp too?
Also what is this little clip used for on the oil cooler?
I hope this isn't a question as radioactive as chili with or without beans but here I go. Mixing load rages. I know there are load range D and E tires out there. I only need to replace 2 of my tires (well actually just one but... want to keep the same type of tires on axle ) I understand I will...
I Believe my truck was in the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines Lima company... Looking at this picture I believe this is my truck. It looks like the bumper number on truck in the below link is 629716. That is the same number on my truck. Also there is a blue circle on my truck. What do you think...
I am looking for number 11 in the below picture. The 24P I have calls out 2390076 and said to be part of kit 2390086. I am not having luck finding these. Does anybody have a lead? All I really need is the insert as everything else looks good.
