Wes has some good options on the table, I’d recommend booting the wheezing 250 to the curb and toss something in that’ll actually last

Honestly, a “Whistler-C” turbo is hard on the LDTs with excessive drive pressure for a relatively low boost output, stressing the weak head gaskets moreso than a D turbo.
Stock for stock, the LDS flows more fuel therefor necessitating a larger turbo to flow higher volume of air. Sure, you can...
I can also add CTIS isn’t a nightmare, it’s pretty simple if you have a meter and follow testing procedures. Many people just claim it’s junk and delete it, but it’s one of the biggest benefits of an a2!

Pull the fuel pickup tube from the tank, they like to crack and sometimes even fall off, sucking air and shutting you down

I agree with this, we need to mitigate your risk considering you’re putting your neck on the line for us if you decide to commit that route

I admire your wealth of knowledge, and every truck has its own set of problems, but honestly I think every HMMWV can benefit from ground harness upgrades for the cheap price of a supplemental harness. My A2 truck had severe grounding issues despite being an Albany reset in ‘08 that were quickly...
I’ve hit a LOT of stuff on the road, from squirrels to deer, but tonight was scary as I topped a hill and found a full-grown COW running towards me. I managed to evade pretty well but sadly felt a little thud as just the very tip of my bumper touched it. I barely kept it under control trying to...
If I can offer advise, regardless of any manufacturer saying something is rated to run ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfer Diesel) that is found in all of our pumps nation wide if you run a lubricant of some sort whether it’s some clean motor oil, 2 stroke oil, or any other known lubricant relatively safe to...
As with any change in oil, there’s a minor risk associated. I’ll say this though, if you end up considering synthetic for your transmission I’d steer clear until you’ve done research and read of people losing theirs in the M35A2s because of it then it’s an informed decision.
I’ve ran synthetic...
Thank y’all for the great info, I got them about 6 months ago and dosed them heavy with fresh diesel, marvel/diesel-kleen/atf mix and have been letting that sit in the pumps for a few months now, occasionally letting it flow a little more through, but no attempts to start YET. I’m not ready, but...
Hey guys, been sitting on a couple of MEP003 gensets on a trailer for a minute. Purchased them non-running. Paints faded on both, and they haven’t ran for a while judging by the old batteries, one is missing a starter, fuel is old, have no idea if they’re runners or not but
ASSUMING they are...
I’m curious coming from building high horse 5.9s in dodges, why does the HMMWV have to have cooling in the case? Is it due to being tucked up high with minimal air flow? Is it because it’s mission profile is predominantly offroad? I’m not questioning your knowledge, I’m just wanting to learn...
And if I can add a suggestion for prolonging pinion seal life as well as wheel seal life, if you haven’t already done so it’s a great time while under the truck to remove the factory axle vent pictured below and thread in a fitting and attach a minimum of 3/8” hose and route it up high. Cheap...
You nailed it! Except I don’t recommend 100% because it’s prone to freezing and it is corrosive. If you buy a jug of 50/50 “premixed” you’re good to go
