    NP218 questions

    The output shaft will always be trying to spin in neutral and the engine running, there is a mass of components spinning on the input that that are riding on bushings/bearings and clutches that are wet with fluid on the output shaft, simple friction and fluid surface tension dictates the motion...

    First time Humvee owner, lifetime admirer w/ a Q...

    Anybody that would intentionally drive into deep water let alone salt water is an idiot, just my opinion ;) EDIT, of course if you are in the military that is different it's not like they own or give a damn about what happens to the vehicle a few years down the road.

    Search for these part numbers. 2815014302599 and 12551755 It should be the same as a civy oil pan IIRC

    6.5 Tick When Warm 1151A1 2007

    Maybe someone else can chime in, I have not tried it myself but read it is "doable" but a REAL PITA. So I would give it as much time as possible before going that route. If it is really loud you should be able to tell which lifter it is with the valve cover off. (edit it will have play in it...

    6.5 Tick When Warm 1151A1 2007

    If it is a lifter it should be clear what side of the engine the noise is coming from you can verify buy listening to the valve cover on that side. I use (CAREFULLY) a large screw driver with the handle end to my ear. How many miles have you driven or time have you spent with the engine running...

    NP218 questions

    You may want to carefully inspect the front drive shaft, especially the carrier bearing. Although possible it is unlikely your truck has enough miles on it to wear out the chain.

    6.5 Tick When Warm 1151A1 2007

    Welcome to the SS forums. It sounds like a leaking lifter not able to stay pumped up, sometimes they will clear up on their own but if not you may need to replace it.

    It's alive!!!

    This is exactly why so many preach to do a FULL service on any surplus vehicle before riding around the neighborhood showing off their new toy, or thinking it is a good idea to hitch hike down to the yard and driving their new purchase home.

    New M1165 Jigsaw Puzzle

    The most important thing is you probably do not have a CDR valve (#18 in the above schematic), this leaves a direct opening into the engine intake and one piece of trash gets in there and the engine is toast!!! (read do not run or wash the engine until fixed) The cut wires are for a radio...

    4L80E Transmission controller upgrade. What’s this?

    Yea, not sure why the NA chip got so expensive, same damn part with a little different programming. I can reprogram the chips from the original TCM, the Eastern chips are read only, no way to erase them to reprogram, I have the NA and Turbo files. The chips are easy enough to get but they are...

    Caution about Iron Planet/Gov Planet HMMWV's

    There are many plastics, GASKETS and O RINGS used in pre 2005 vehicles that are completely incompatible with Dexcool, as GM found out when they switched and 10s of thousands of vehicles failed, I certainty would not take the chance.

    4L80E Transmission controller upgrade. What’s this?

    For the price difference I would use the $17.00 one and fudge the TPS setting to fine tune the shift points. https://www.easternsurplus.net/Products/SearchResults

    4L80E Transmission controller upgrade. What’s this?

    The eproms are cheap and easy to get, you should be able to get the entire TCM with eprom for about 250 or so much cheaper than the alternative not to mention the work involved.

    HMMWVs have CTIS anymore?

    Curious, does your "87" have a 4 speed and serpentine belt? Post some pictures of these fittings you speak of.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    I made an early run to the beach today to check out the crowd, it was packed as I expected, it was cloudy and pretty breezy, I saw allot of collapsed tents and awnings :LOL: The water was rather angry also this morning. Now this is a Texas size flag, the DuraVee is directly under the...

    Has anyone gutted a N3135 regulator?

    You are 100% wrong, it all about making it weather and vibration proof, anyone that is serious about "tampering" with it would have no problem getting into it.

    Best Mirror Config

    The normal position for the passenger mirror is looking through the passenger windshield and it sucks

    PETLAS Has anyone tried these tires?

    I mounted the tires on the DuraVee today, out of the 5 there were 2 that had no detectable radial runout and took less than 5OZ to balance (one of these was the one I did not mount with the bead locks first) 1 of them had detectable radial runout (spinning the tire on my test setup) and took...

    Best Source for X-Door Glass?

    On any custom order tempered is always more expensive than laminate, it must be cut first then tempered, most glass houses have no way to temper, laminate can simply be pulled out of stock and cut.
