    6.5 TD Swap into an A2 or M1123 HMMWV

    Gotcha. Yes please, the link would be appreciated whenever you can find it. I guess I was hoping to find someone who could help me squeeze 250hp/500tq out of the stock 6.5TD by tweaking whatever can be tweaked. Turbo impeller, free-er flowing exhaust, dial up the fuel pump, etc. I think the...

    6.5 TD Swap into an A2 or M1123 HMMWV

    Hey Mogman, I have a couple of follow-up questions… 1. Did you make your own 1/2” body lift? Is one commercially available? I think there are 1” body lift kits available. I don’t want to go any more than that anyway, but what is the limit on lifts before one needs to worry about modifying...

    6.5 TD Swap into an A2 or M1123 HMMWV

    Hi All, I’ve tried but failed to find the info I’m looking for, so please forgive me and point me in the right direction if this has been previously discussed. Has anyone swapped a HMMWV 6.5TD into an A2 truck? I’m not talking about adding a turbo to my engine. I’m talking about replacing...

    Turbocharging a HMMWV with BMI's kit

    Has anybody figured out how to route the exhaust such that no ground clearance is lost? I like the BMI kit, but that’s a deal breaker for me. One of the best things about the HMMWV is 16+ inches of ground clearance. I’ve smashed up exhaust pipes and cats wheeling my Jeep… Mistakes happen...

    HMMWV starter front support bracket stud

    Hi All, When checking the engine mounts on my truck (2001 M1035A2), I found the front mounting stud and nut from the starter, just hanging out in the passenger side engine mount. No idea how long it has been there. Maybe the whole time I’ve had the truck. I have been trying to reinstall...

    Installing the H1 Rocker Panel Protection on Hmmwv

    Oh I just remembered: Lessons Learned. 1. When the good idea fairy visits you and inspires you to mod your truck, do your research. I should have learned about the brackets before throwing down on the panels. 2. Check Steel Soldiers! There's a wealth of info on here. If you're gonna do it...

    Installing the H1 Rocker Panel Protection on Hmmwv

    I concur. That's what I did. The raw materials, two 19" long sections of 3/4" x 1.5", .125 wall, rectangular aluminum tube, cost me $38 total. Plus 10 3/8"-16 x 1" SS button-head bolts, 2 more 1.25" long, 6 7/16" x 2" black oxide coated flathead bolts, and associated SS washers and nylock...

    New Supercharged and Intercooled HMMWV kits!

    Yup, I see what you mean. That’s a lot, compared to the total price of the truck. And I kinda overplayed for mine! With the fans and such, is it fording kit and actual fording compatible? Thanks for your responses. Been wondering about this for a while…

    New Supercharged and Intercooled HMMWV kits!

    Bummer. Thanks for the reply, though. Maybe if we had a ballpark idea on price, folks would be able to say whether and when they’d be interested. Maybe make deposits? Then you could build and sell batches? Good supercharger and turbo kits, in general, seem to go between $5-7k. Is yours way...

    New Supercharged and Intercooled HMMWV kits!

    Hello, Any updates on the supercharger kit? I’d rather do that than a turbo, for a bunch of reasons. 2001 M1035A2. Don’t want to lift the body or lose ground clearance… Thanks!
