    The HMMWV fails in FMVSS specs in areas such as padded dash and steering wheel, side impact protection, 3 point seat belts. Look at a H1 for what is missing.

    M1008 cracked head gaskets, runs fine, fix? Or engine swap?

    Welcome and wow that is a NICE 1008. Blown head gaskets or cracked heads typically give telltale signs such as bubbles in and overpressurization of the radiator, unexplained loss of coolant, steam in the exhaust. If you don't have these symptoms, you are good.

    In the case of shovels, the vast hole is my warehouse, I think I have 2000.

    Several Cranks To Start Cause?

    Yup. Use Permatex to reseal. Make a new gasket from sheet gasket material from your auto parts. If you ruin the existing gasket.

    Another engine noise video

    Sounds a little like coming from the alternator. Take off the belt and see what you hear.

    Several Cranks To Start Cause?

    Whatever is squealing needs to be diagnosed and fixed. To inspect the hose, remove the screws that hold the pump carrier and lift it out. Don't have to drain tank.

    Several Cranks To Start Cause?

    Is this your new multifuel dump? Is the in tank pump running strong? Is the hose from the in tank pump to the pump carrier in good shape?

    85 m1009 swap to 6.5L TD

    It would be pretty cool to have the turbocharger in the cab with you, maybe on a hard pull it will glow a dull red at night?

    Simple LMTV battery question

    Looking at Appendix F of the WTEC manual, the TPS seems to vary from zero to 4.7 volts depending on how much throttle actuation there is.
