    A2 brake pedal swtch

    The old pedal works fine, the new pedal is centered differently...I compared them one day and found IIRC, the radious is different as well as where the pedal itself is, in the holes are all the same.

    Has anyone converted a 6.2 into a turbo charged unit?

    Has anyone converted a 6.2 into a turbo charged unit?

    Do all you want to the motor, it won't make a difference till you get a 4th gear. This truck was not made for commuting and interstate driving, it was designed for a combination of both, with an emphasis on payload. These truck were meant for convoy speeds. So a 4L80E or 700r4 is "IMO" the best...

    Transmission shifting issue m1165a 2012 hmmwv

    Once again, any Good trans shop can test the trans while in truck. If the trans was just rebuilt, call the rebuilder. even if the TPS or TOSS were bad, the trans would be in limp mode, would not affect what you are stating. when you say you have to push the pedal to the floor, I'm assuming you...

    M1123 Purchase and Build Thread - Virginia

    Revocation was exactly what I was and continue to be worried about, I've been saying all along that the more you poke the bear, it's eventually going to bite back. I've had hmmwv's titled since 2001... still own some of them. IMO, the MVPA needs to step in and start working these issues on a...

    Repower: 6.5L vs 6.5L Turbo

    you don't need the lip, early trucks didn't do it, nor did the H1's, my 98 was cut at the factory and no lip...while it looks better, not sure it's needed.

    Transmission shifting issue m1165a 2012 hmmwv

    It's should be throwing codes if the pressures are out of whack...you will have to check codes via the diag port on the TCM, that will require the cable, if you don't have a cable, you need to tap into the TCM, a good trans guy should have a scanX 2000 to simulate The TCM.

    Repower: 6.5L vs 6.5L Turbo

    The only difference is cutting the body around the engine bay to open it up to clear the left and right exhaust manifold. The rest of it "assuming you do a factory OEM conversion" is the same.....if your going to hack and whack...your on your own, I don't do this conversion unless, or others for...

    Humvee Leaking Hub?

    You have to clean it all off, run it and see where the source is. But having seen this god knows how many times "last week" it was the spindle output seal. the upper input seal is not wet, meaning it's not constantly submersed like the output seal, they just seep or stay damp, once the lower...
