I hate dealing with the public, I work on a few that belong to some ranchers around here only because they tracked me down and offered enough to make it worth my time. Other than that everyone that lives on this planet's mind ain't right but for mineo_O

Definitely not the only one with that idea, I past a little shop in Rockport, TX yesterday that had 8-10 lined up outside the shop.

Good way to keep the average Joe from being able to buy one at auction, we are already competing with several businesses for the best ones.:eek: Just kidding, knock yourself out! But never take business advice from me, I take something that costs 10K put 20K in it and then it's worth about 15K

I suppose it is possible they connected it to kick off the compressor and fans under WOT but I would think the AC would not work at all. Does it still blow cold air?

The HMMWV never had electric fans. The switch on the throttle was to put the fan control in delay so when you went into the water it did not rip the belt driven fan blades off, it may have also been designed to delay the fan when at WOT but never did that on my M998

I have almost the exact same crane on my 3T Knuckle truck. IMF IIRC made it or something like that, 7000lb but has manual outriggers

You might want to pull the engine through two revolutions clockwise facing the front of the engine just to make sure it will not hydro, cheap insurance.

12oz is not ideal but not "out of bounds" for a tire that size, tell those guys to man up and get some bigger weights! IIRC the max for the Centramatics was about 12-15oz so I could be running close to that without any wheel weights. Does not matter how you get there, if you are running down the...

I would only use AGM batteries.

Not likely going to be a problem, as you already stated the biggest issue is the rotating mass getting into the fluid and whipping air into it, make sure you check the TC fluid to make sure you do not have the vampire thing going on (usually transfers fluid FROM the trans to the TC) of course...

It is hard to see because the OP did not post a picture that included the door at the striker location but it looks like the seal is touching the body at the door handle/striker, it just appears the door does not have the correct profile to fit a HMMWV body.

I have never seen a drain plug on any civilian light/med duty auto transmission, just about everything military has drain plugs, maybe those that don't were replacement transmissions?

It did sound like a 120V sewing machine running on 240V

Looks like the bendix and flywheel teeth are worn/striped to the point they will "slip" The bendix should retract on its own without any battery involved, is there any evidence this truck has been submerged? Hopefully not but I suspect the engine is seized, as 87 said you do not need to pull...

If you have not sourced the LS yet then I would get a complete drive train with say a 6L80 and matching TC and drop that in. Nice project! With the 2.73 gears I would not even consider a TH400 unless you don't mind running 3600RPM at highway speeds.

Here is a picture of the tube installed, you can see it had to be flattened out to clear the flywheel.

As you can see it has a flattened area, very common to plug up, If you are unlucky enough to have a rebuilt Melton engine they permanently plugged this drain. It is actually called a fuel drain tube, it is there in case the IP starts to leak so the valley does not fill up with diesel.

It IS a piece of pipe it goes from the valley down in front of the flywheel and out the side of the block.

I am with TM, that is the valley drain, the plug shown in the diagram is just forward of the drain, in stead of coolant you may have just had water in the valley

I am assuming (there is that word) this is an earlier setup, kinda looks like an A1, I am curious how or if it is supported inside. Yes they cut the B pillar portion on many helmet tops, too lazy to remove it correctly, looks like it is deployed somewhere
