    Idling Way To Fast

    I just changed my radiator, oil coolers, temp sending unit, and fuel. I finally came to start it today and soon when it started, it started idling incredibly fast, like it wanted to kill itself. I instantly shut it down, what should I be checking for? I can't find much in the TMs about this

    M35a2 NV4500 Conversions?

    Has anyone every done the NV4500 in the M35? It seems like it'll be a very good option. The NV4500 is around the same size as the spicer 5 speed and have a .75 overdrive over the spicer .85, I get that it's not a medium duty transmission, but there's so many built NV4500s with hardened gears and...

    Humvee Thermostat Housing Problem

    Today I went to install the thermostat on the humvee and realize yesterday that I snapped the bolt head off, now I just got threads sticking out. The question is, can the whole thermostat housing on the engine be changed easily? Taking off the broken bolt is the last thing I want to do; I...

    Glowplug Box Keeps Ticking

    Today when I shut off the humvee, the glowplug box for whatever reason clicks every 30 seconds or so, is this normal? I never had it do that before, has the box went bad? It clicks as if its being shut off every 30 seconds It only does this while the truck is off and the switch in the "Engine Stop"

    M35A2 Transmission Swaps

    I know this been talked about a lot, but I haven't seen that many actual swaps with the m35a2 trans other than the Alison AT545 and the same Spicer. Has anyone swapped any other transmission in the m35a2 with a longer overdrive? I was thinking about the NV4500 since its close to the same size of...

    Armored Humvees Powertrain

    This question is mostly for the guys who driven the armored humvees a bit, how good does the 6500 Optimizer and 4l80e holds up and is it enough for a somewhat comfortable city and highway driving? I have a BRDM 2 which is not much heavier than an armored humvee, I think its about 8 tons while a...

    Anyone used these on the HMMWV?

    I just found out that these tires exist "335/80R20" has anyone ever used them? They're 40 inch tall and 12.5 wide, has anyone ever used them? Only issue I see is that you'll need 20inch rims with an adapter plate probably

    M35a2 Transmission Swaps

    I've seen all kinds of swaps with the M35 talked about for the engine and trans, but the one thing I can't find anything on or if anyone did this is an eaton 6 or 7 speed swap. It seems like it'll be the best transmission for the deuce if you like a standard. All the forward gears on them are...

    LMTV rims on the m35a2

    Can someone tell me whether or not the LMTV rims would bolt right on to the M35a2. I notice the adapter plate I had bought doesn't fit on these rims, it seems pretty close to the m35a2 bolt pattern but its hard to tell. If these don't fit, is there any adapter plate available for it?

    Alternative to an M35

    Don't know if this the correct place to post, but let's say if parts start becoming scarce for the m35. What would be the best alternative to the m35 in terms of having a 12ft bed or slightly longer, being reliable, not being so huge, and being simple? It doesn't have to be as simple if the...

    What happened with the P400 & is it really that good?

    I done some reading last week on the different engines that came in the humvee & saw about the "P400" being the best one of them all which fixed all of the flaws of the original 6.5 & came with a stronger block than the GEP & 6500 Optimizer. From what I read, this engine was better than the 6500...
