Who doesn't have issues with these beasts? I sure didn't buy this vehicle to use as a commuter and I knew what kind of maintenance I was getting into and I love it. Despite all things I post on here, there's still a lot of projects and adventures that I DONT post anywhere. The internet is a...

I was changing the oil on my geared hubs after some off roading and as soon as the drain plug came out, I knew something was going to be broken/worn in the hub. Oil came out grey, which as far as I can tell is water mixed in with the oil. In addition to the water oil small amount of metal bits...

On some of the edges bare metal is very visible. But on others it's completely fine.

So went to get my tires balanced and the mechanic at Les Schwab told be I should replace my wheels because the lug nuts have dug into them that they have bored out part of the tapered edge. He said that they could back off on the highway. The wheel in question has never had any issues with a...

It was a 200 amp upgrade. New belts with the new alternator. The sound is new and was not there when I installed the alternator

Belts are brand new on mine

Mile Marker Winch Installation: A Learning Experience... Just finished up my mile marker winch installation. Instructions on some of the other posts and websites were pretty vague, and I'd thought I'd share what I learned through my speedy 5 hour job. First I'd like to share some advice on...

Sounds good to check. When I put the nut on it wasn't a locking nut. I glance it every now and again to make sure it isn''t coming all the way off. I could never find a good way to clamp the pulley to torque the nut down.

eBay, (forgive me for actually spelling it correctly) just remember 12k shafts don't work in older humvees.

Yep blown CV joint in a half shaft

Does the vehicle move in high? If not then a half shaft CV joint could have blown. Happens more than you think and it's not entirely noticable besides no vehicle movement in high.

How much to ship something like that? I would think Fastenal would give the cheapest price.

Thanks. The reason just going to a shop is cheaper for me is cause I have some friends working there that most of the time can do small jobs for free.

sorry, definitely didn't mean a LS was worse than a 6.2/6.5 I'm hoping to do a duramax upgrade in a year or so.

Yes and ...you'd have even more torque out of a diesel :) (specifically a duramax/cummins)

oh **** no, I wasn't talking about an LS being a bad swap for a 6.5/6.5. I was talking about comparing the LS swap to a duramax/cummins swap.

1/2" screw on mine its pretty old but I have to deal with 30 year old tools.

What is the weather like, recent driving conditions? Mine runs cooler than that on a 65 degree day without the engine working too hard.

I saw someones LS3 conversion and it had 425 hp and 400 ft/lbs. I'm a fan of the duramax... not here to start an argument though :D

Personally I really don't see the point of putting a large displacement gasoline engine in a humvee, but I would like to know the reasons people do this conversion? I use my humvee mainly for off roading and gasoline engines in that setup just seems like you would be crippling the vehicle...
