Welcome to the forum!! Unfortunately HMMWV and cheap do not coexist together

I have not ever tackled that one, I am sure someone has though.

Is it possible the overrunning clutch is bad? and not the alt bearing?

I would think all that heat from the exhaust would dry it out rather quickly....

IF the front bearing has gone out you will have to pull the alt to take it apart, That alt has an overrunning clutch on the front, they tend to have a little play and are noisy by nature.

As others have said they are vent lines

You can actually convert a 5 speed to a 6 speed simply by changing the valve body and TCM (about $2500) other than that the rotating mass is the same.

The big problem with the LML is the crap CP4 pump, but that can of course be changed. Yes the 2006 up LBZ had the 6 speed. I am keeping my eyes open for a 2006-2011 donor truck at this time. The only major issues with these are the way they dump raw fuel to clean the filter, the later LML and...

The problem with the LBZ is most donor truck have a 5 speed Allison

Yes.

Yep, IMHO they are much better at looking cool than actually performing off road.;)

Also of course if you have not, this is a good time to replace the fuel filter..

There is a tool in the 57K0267 tool kit that EVERYONE that owns a HMMWV should have. I have never tried that tool, I always go with bead locks, maybe someone can comment on that...

Nothing really wants to go anywhere, The best way I can describe it is to put you finger over a straw and pull it out of the glass, without something "moving" in the system nothing will come out of the filter. You of course should open it just before trying to bleed it and immediately close it...

I believe the Alpha used the 4L80E and the 242 but they had it tuned to under 300HP

I basically reduced the LMM to a LBZ, used a LBZ intake horn, oil fill pipe and the "other" stuff was simply removed.

Looking at the pictures of the LP5 it looks to have a much larger turbo, I had to reduce the height of the LMM to about the same overall height of the AC compressor, you are going to have your work cut out for you. It certainly does not look like anything near the 2" body lift I used is going to...

The 242 will not bolt up to the Allison and not likely that it would live long, besides the shift on the fly TC is really handy, it does mean more work and a third control module.

I refitted my 92 with a turbo GEP, it has no muffler or cat and it is anemic in power output and the only time I can tell it has a turbo is when it is idling, just a fluttering of the exhaust, it has never had any "whine" at all. But a plugged cat certainly would not help that crapfest of an...

Does that Texas Eastern compressor sta. rattle your house in Thomaston? That was one of my sites on and off for 37 years.
