    R2 Center of Gravity marking

    Today it would make no differnce having a permanent COG line...all vehicle are JI'd "Joint Inspection" before ever going on an Acft, this has to be done becasue the COG changes based on the load out of the vehicle...so the canned COG mark is somewhat useless.

    6.2 or 6.5 in HMMWV

    Agreed, good call....

    6.2 or 6.5 in HMMWV

    That's a tach drive...that is standard on both motors. Look, the 6.2 And 6.5 are almost if not identical. The 1990 and above 6.2 was a better motor IMHO, the redesigned heads, injectors and pump made it smoother running. like I said, the 6.2 is embossed on the engine block, front right. Here is...

    6.2 or 6.5 in HMMWV

    94 has the 6.5, the 87 could have either, but the 6.2 has "6.2D' embossed on the right front of the block below the cyl head. Another way to tell is if you have a crank position sensor hole on the left side of the timing cover, where the harmonic balancer is. And there are a few other ways...but...

    Deep Ford Kit

    someone has played around with all of it...the line that is cut on the tee goes to the vent on the fuel pump. the line with the filter on the end is the fuel tank vent and unless it connected to the long tube as Ted pointed out, it just terminates behind the coolant bottle. i can't tell from the...

    Towbar hookup on winch bumper

    HMMWV Starter

    You do have the 2 small wires going to the spade tip connector? That's the solenoid....you can test the starter on the ground with 12v's...it will spin the Bendix....or jump it at the starter with 24v's. i have had starters where that connection is intermittent, thus causing no go's at...

    55,250 dollar lol

    But it's not a 2004... As I have stated time and time again. The 6.2 didn't exsist in 2004, this truck would have a 6.5 turbo, 4L80E, 242 tcase, as well as an extended front end, and it would be an M998. It's just a restamped data plate from reset...now the idiot who bought it gets to pay tax...

    HMMWV Starter

    And let me tell you also, that wolfer parts is mostly if not all Chinese....prestolite and leece-Neville are the only 2 that come to mind I have ever seen. you must and I repeat, you must use the rear support stud, it will over time snap the bolts in the block, or even fracture the block...get...

    Spec ops roll cage

    Any good fabricator can make anything...but you will be hard pressed to fabricate the turret bearing area for the turret bearing, at least to spec anyway. Being I have had GMV stuff fabricated and done some myself, it's labor more then material.....just a set of rear bed rails fabricated up to...

    weird fluid oil leak

    All the trucks coming out at GP are for the most part Army...there was a USMC truck though that recently went out of Barstow. Army HMMWV's did not get equipped with fording kits....the easiest way to test for a broken cooler loop is to open the fill plug on your tcase, but if it's bad, get ready...
