I agree that that the C12 in the MK-36 Wrecker is much more powerful but I've used the C7 power in a M1089A1P2 quite a few times and it does better than you might think. I've lift towed quite a few MTV's and can still run on the governor at 62 MPH. with the transfer to forward most rear axle...

Since you have a CDL you know what to look for. Porkysplace gave some good advice of getting familiar with the Tech Manuals. Does it pass basic checks described in the PMCS (Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services) section. Oil in the engine and transmission, radiator surge tank full...

I think a precedent was set in this thread pretty quickly based upon poor choice of words, spelling and perhaps dis-information by the OP. I don't know anything about the guy but it started out rather confusing as to what the issue was other than the truck struggles in hills.

Maybe a picture of the oil pan of the transmission would clear that up. The TH-400 in these trucks doesn't have a locking converter so it'd still be 1 to 1 output minus converter loss either way. I agree that once the 14 bolt goes in, 55 mph. would be the top speed for all practical purposes...

To start with, HMMWV Injection Pump NSN's. 2910-01-199-2355 6.2 Prior to 1990 2910-01-326-9221 6.2 after 1990 2910-01-467-9029 6.5 N/A Detuned (what I used) 2910-01-414-1272 6.5 Turbo Now I have to go research again where I got the rest of the information. I did the injection pump swap in...

Mostly correct, I replaced the injection pump from my 6.2L N/A CUCV with that of a 6.5L N/A HMMWV pump. The primary difference from what I researched is the 6.5L N/A pump has 0.310 pumping plungers versus 0.290 pumping plungers for the 6.2L N/A pump. The 6.5 N/A pump is tuned to produce 170...

When I replaced the injection pump on my 6.2 with a new 6.5 N/A pump it became an entirely different truck. Acceleration was greatly improved and it sounded much less stressed at 55 mph. I installed it at the regular timing mark but obviously the calibrations between the injection pumps are...

My favorite story about Ron was told to me yesterday. Maybe someone will fill in the gaps. At a Ga Rally a few years ago somebody did something to make him mad and he went off for an extended period. 15 minutes later he was sitting with a toddler asleep on his chest and happy as could be. I...

Desomodromic has the correct answer. Do a search for mil standard 3003 (B) to learn preservation methods used when storing rolling stock long term. The paint will wear off after a short period of use. We preserved a lot of HMMWV's where I work at because the decision to rebuild versus adopt...

Here you go Robo McDuff. Swiss and Simp were taking pictures and may have some to share as well.

He's Home now and will always live in our hearts where he has always been. I'm Thankful to have known Ron and miss the 2 or 3 phone calls a month with him introducing himself as "Ron, 73M819" from Steel Soldiers. His ashes are spread on land that he spent many hours on here in the U.S.A. They...

Today Swiss hosted a very touching Memorial Service for Mr. Ron Harris. We had Lunch, Fellowship and Honors were presented to the Harris family is a manner most fitting. Ron's ashes were transported and distributed in a manner I'm sure he'd have been proud of in a NHC-250 powered 5 ton to a...

Eli, the compressor can work great and the brake treadle valve can let you down. It happened to me recently. I was taking my truck over to Welder1's shop so he could outfit my truck with a nice flag bracket. I had to do a panic stop, no worries, brakes did fine. Afterwards my air pressure...

We'll swing by a store and get some chips and dip on the way in.

Have an assistant, clamp down the outer flange of the boot and have Soldier B position the boot to allow you to focus on the inner clamp. I'll chime in as others have, have you ever performed the Annual Maintenance on the bearings? It's work for sure but it pays for itself with less downtime...

Glad to know the truck made it and you're Safely home. Now time to get it ready for it's maiden voyage to the 2019 Ga Rally!

I've consulted with some site moderators and will be sending a disc for upload based upon their approval. They will be available soon.

How far did you make it 319cssb? Nothing specific, just city and town so we know your whereabouts. As you can tell we're here to help, just want to know if you're near my Area of Operations.

Going with plan D and the HMMWV is getting hauled behind a Dodge 3/4 ton on a trailer. 2 wheels is a nice way to ride unless the Ga Mafia decides they want to see my better half and boys. Then we'll go with plan C and Tahoe it. I don't have any pictures of Ron with my boys but he was never...

As Simp stated, I'm just North of Albany, Ga, equipped to tow and can be on standby. Judging by the route your describing, the M813 must be in the panhandle of Florida. Like SCM35A2, let us know when you've made the trip Safely and Successfully.
