    My New 6.5 TDL HMMWV engine. Is this the right one?

    It is a block that was cast by GEP after they took over the Humvee engine production from Detroit Diesel, but is an earlier casting number than I have seen before. It is configured as a replacement for a 6.2 with a turbo 400 trans. It is actually a 6.5 but has the Injector pump that is...

    HMMWV A2 Project

    So the second (silver) Proportioning valve may not be used as one but as a handy coupling for the lines that exit the anti lock devices to attach to the brake lines that go to their respective axles.

    What's with the dual Proportioning Valves Ted and more importantly can you give a quick description of the plumbing?

    Where can I buy a Poject hmmwv?

    I agree with Actionpaintball too, except for possibly a really late frame that is the three piece type with the Alpha front crossmembers and the Mil only rear crossmembers that both use the latest disk brake calipers with the quick replacement pads. They will probably not be able to be bought in...

    Dana 70 from a Dually from the look of those drums, but I could be wrong.

    M1009 Spare tire needed.

    It's the optional 8" wide civi rim not the standard 7" wide rim and it's not slotted like the high trim level silver wheels are, but I guess any style will do for a spare.

    $11,499.00 Blazer

    It looks like a two owner vehicle that was driven very carefully all of it's life and maybe garaged every night too. :D

    HMMWV A2 Project

    Hi Ted, I am working on my Humvee in the area of the driver's position and most specifically the footwell area and noticed that your through body Grommet for the main wire harness is not installed the same as mine originally was. The square part of the grommet was on the engine side along with...

    M-1009 transmission woe's

    The t case shift fork may have the plastic tips broken off and it won't properly position the slider gear and you are slipping out of gear. Might be something else though.

    GL Surprise Bonus !!

    Gl suprise bonus I have found that GL dosen't do the common type of forklift damage that is found on CUCV's, which is bent driveshafts and pushed in body panels. It is done when loading and unloading the vehicles onto flat bed trailers by the DRMO. This problem existed when the DRMO was selling...

    Drivetrain Swap vs. Truck Swap

    Unfortunatly if you try to sell your Humvee, that you have put a lot of work and good parts on and it still has a 6.2/3L80, it will be compared to other Humvees that are just rambling wrecks and you will have a hard time getting good money. It is possibly though, but you will get many cheapo...

    Air Pressure Leak Problem

    Well, I posted about the Mysterious leak of the air pressure on my deuce a few weeks ago. It sounded like it came from under the cab area. It has never happened again and I did use the soapy water trick to see if there was a leak and found none. Now I think that the Pressure relief valve must...

    M998 Hmmwv tach installed.

    That's a nice setup. I saw that on some M1114's a few years ago and really liked it. It's high enough that not being water proof is a non issue.

    Air Pressure leak

    Hey, that's a great idea. I'll just take air pressure from one of the other deuces. This way I can have way more time to track down the leak, if it ever shows up again. I'll try slightly flexing any copper lines to see if anything happens when I have air from the other deuce hooked into this one. :D

    Air Pressure leak

    Well, I was up where I keep my vehicles yesterday and shure enough, when I fired up the deuce, the pressure maxed out at approx 60 psi. I needed to use my impact wrench so I hooked it up to do the job, just incase I made the air system inoperable, after my checking and tightening of fittings...
