    2007 M1097R1 Project - New member introduction

    don’t get in a hurry to buy inferior knock off parts…especially on these aftermarket kits. I Suggest going on the FB forums where many folks I know sell OEM soft top kits.

    B- pillar support bracket for m1151a1

    The black post is a structural support and the green cover is a not only a cover but connects the lower B-pillar support to the roof B-pillar. I guess you can do anything you feel is justified.

    many of these trucks have collapsed catalytic converters due to long idle times and JP fuel usage, drop the turbo down pipe and drive it…if not change your Turbo charger isn't working….

    GEP 6.5 non turbo valley drain

    As you can see, look how thin the tube is as it is flattened out so it doesn’t hit the flex plate…literally a small amount of sand or debris clogs the tube, it’s actually impossible to keep it clear under normal operating conditions.

    The problem with following the TM is, is that a lot procedures are old and outdated. using the term “glow plug controller“ for example on late model trucks, because it changed to a Temp sending unit and the term ”GPC” is no longer valid, same as when they refer to PCB “Protective control box”...

    GEP 6.5 non turbo valley drain

    Unplugging the the hole is a bad idea if the tube is removed, as it is on the melton rebuilds, all that water will end up on the rear main seal…even with the drain working, you will have water in the valley, the water exits the front the motor at the low spot around the timing cover. if you want...

    Glow Plug Replacement

    That view should definitely help the next guy who buys the same product and ends up here with a GP bouncing around in his cylinder… Think of it as “Yelp” for hmmwv owners.

    Glow Plug Replacement

    we all know who these vendors are, they are even advertisers here in this forum, they know damn well what they sell because they know where they source the parts from, it’s done to make money…..nothing else. Look…I don’t care if someone sells a cheaper inferior product over an OEM product, the...

    No one, and I mean no one installs a 400amp on purpose….at least not if they have a 200amp already. I’ve never replaced a 200amp due to failure, the regulators fail, but I’ve never had to replace the core. 400amp? I’ve had stacks of failed generators cores along with regulators…add to that the...

    6.5l Oil Pan RTV Help

    if the TM has a torque spec, why not torque to spec? I’ve replaced more OP than I want to admit…ive Never used a torque wrench, I use a 1/4 socket and one hand…it’s metal to metal, so once the bolt stops, you are lucky to get a 1/4 Turn on the bolt. As the TM states, apply liberal amounts of RTV...

    Power Steering Pump Options?

    I know of no rebuild kit for this pump, the pump is reffered to as the “whiny” pump, for 2 reasons, one because it’s English and the other because it’s noisy. I’ve opened these pumps up, they are like nothing you have ever seen, frankly a marvel of engineering, noise comes from air, if you have...
