    Is there a bench test for N3135 dual voltage 200amp regulator

    The only way you are going to be able to tell if it actually works is to bolt it up and test it on the alternator.

    6.5L Turbo Waste Gate Movement

    DaneGer21 is correct, that turbo does not make anywhere near the pressure that would require a "blowoff" valve. If it was not working correctly you would be getting a substantial amount of black smoke. EDIT actually I don't think any diesels have blowoff valves, only makes sense if you have a...

    6.5L Turbo Waste Gate Movement

    The waste gate is simply spring loaded, you can pull the rod towards the rear and it should spring back, I cannot hear mine at all except idling cold, but then again I have moderate to severe hearing loss.

    6.5L Turbo Waste Gate Movement

    Sounds pretty normal to me, the waste gate is so simple I doubt any have ever failed unless they fell apart.

    60 Minutes has a story of military vehicle accidents. Tonight NOW west coast.

    Is this about active military or civy ownership?

    $75 vs 135, dang near pays for the wheel! EDIT: Sorry, almost forgot the o rings did not fit correctly

    M1165

    Ask then what the DOT date is on them, I suppose you are going for "new" tires, also ask them if they were mounted. Unmounted and stored indoors are obviously best. EDIT, also check the prices of there wheels against this option, You would need to mount them though, which I prefer because I try...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Nice day on the beach, if you ever get to Port A TX stop in and grab some grub at the San Juan, 4 eggs, 4 pancakes, three slices of bacon, 2 slices of toast and a large tea, $10... Nice and sloppy just like I like (what the toast is for!)

    Anyone Swapped This 6 Speed 4L80e

    40s may do OK on a de-armored truck that is already sitting at the "top" of its suspension, on a M998 you may have problems, 42s will definately tear off the fenders do a body lift there just is not enough suspension travel to "jack it up" and things get all wonky anyway.

    Anyone Swapped This 6 Speed 4L80e

    I don't think everyone thinks 42s look cool, if you have a 4L80 you already have overdrive, but if you have a turbo and the 307 gears bigger tires are about your only choice besides new diffs.

    Anyone Swapped This 6 Speed 4L80e

    Interestingly enough the only difference between the 5 speed Allison 1000 and the 6 speed is the valve body, seems you can mix and match the clutch pack application for different ratios. If you have an earlier GM with the Dmax and a 5 speed about $2200 (10 year old price) for a new valve body...

    Anyone Swapped This 6 Speed 4L80e

    They have been working on that ever since I installed the 6L in the Detroit, at least they have a working model now.

    Anyone Swapped This 6 Speed 4L80e

    It also SEEMS their claim as the only 6 speed that can handle 850HP is BS. https://maddogtransmissions.com/destroyer-6l80e/ And $2500 less at that

    Anyone Swapped This 6 Speed 4L80e

    Look at the ratios, it is just a close ratio 4l80 6 speed, the top two gears are the same on both transmissions. does not look useful in the HMMWV it would shift up very quickly through the gears that the 4l80 already shifts up through very quickly, not at all like the 6L80. It does have a lower...

    Slantback M1043A2

    Yep it is weather checked pretty badly, everyone should check the DOT date on their tires, no need on that one.
