    Need Help UR with 6.5 engine swap

    Maybe you can mount the turbo somewhere else. I have seen turbo chargers mounted near the rear bumpers on cars, so if you have some good fabricators down there, you can do something.

    HMMWV Rear steer

    I need a 12v starter for my m1009

    I've bought 12 volt starters from Kragen, now owned by O'Riley and they used to sell me rebuilt GM units direct dirve units.

    Help with 6.2L heater hose couplers

    IF you are talking about the nipple for the heater hose that comes off of the water pump, you could just plug it with a galvanised or brall pipe plug.

    flasher stays lit with headlights...

    If you are saying that when your turn on your headlights, your left turn indicator on the dash board stays lit, you probably need to change the front left turn signal socket assy. It probably has a problem with the ground wire.

    6.2 to 6.5

    Don't forget that if the 6.5 had a serpentine belt setup, the water pump on it is designed to rotate in the opposite direction as the water pump on the 6.2. You would need to change the plate that the water pump bolts to to make this switch.

    I believe that after 25 years of age a vehicle can be brought in even if it dosen't meet DOT specs for it's year of manufacture, unless it has changed recently.

    HMMWV windshield help

    The civi soft tops have a different setup for attaching the soft top to the top of the windshield. They also use two pieces near each side that make the top of the windhsield more "square".

    Trailer for HMMWV

    My M101A3 has the same track and ground clearance as the Humvee, because of the design of the axle that is used and it has cool wide fenders to cover up the tires too. It will attach to anything that has the Mil standard Pintal Hitch.

    HMMWV A2 Project

    You probably don't have to do the civi thing to the windshield if you are going to use a military top, as long as you have the channel on the top to slide the leading edge of the top into and the extra mounting plates of the turret assy don't get in the way.
