    Fluid on rotors

    That’s gear oil, remove the nut on the flange and remove the old star rubber seal and install a new one, this is a common issue. Before the star seal, they used multiple o-rings and they were prone to failure and seapage.

    Stall converter rpm recommendation

    maybe they don’t know any better...maybe they have been fed a steady diet of BS. go talk to any good trans shop about it....That’s all I have to say about that.

    Stall converter rpm recommendation

    You guys really want to think about 4L80E, the R4 is garbage on its best days....I wouldn’t venture to far off road with it. you can do the 80E for the same price and get a far superior trans, tons of parts avails and lots of them for sale locally.

    Engine noise on morning start ups! HMMWV 6.5 GEP

    And no, people aren’t running around in the military slapping GEP decals on valve covers for lack of things to do. As a matter of fact, that Label is not orderable. Can it be made? Yes....but let’s be real here.

    Engine noise on morning start ups! HMMWV 6.5 GEP

    the Cold advance solenoid does just that, it advances the timing the timing when cold. thus a “clackier” motor. there are several reason the 6.5 is louder, all having to do with the redesign of the heads. if you think they are loud, try the turbo diesel on cold start up.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    You cant mix fluids, but you can fully flush and replace them...dot 4 is used on Hummer H1 from 99-2006. the MC and hydro booster don’t care.

    what one to get?

    If all your after is the look, then buy a cheap m998 and convert it, if you want an authentic slantback, buy it at the auctions. Either way....you will be hard pressed to find a few of the critical parts needed to build up a kit, or make the GP truck whole again after they demilled the most...
