What's involved with getting a turbo 6.5 and turning it into a NA engine? I'm not wanting to hunt conversion parts and modify my M1045A2; trying to keep it simple.

It's been stated before on here by many to check and modify your fans if needed on your older LMTV's. I had a friend a couple of weeks ago have his fan go out enroute to a parade 80 miles from his house. The tow bill was 1400 dollars for what could have been a $20 repair beforehand. This is the...

Has anyone installed the aftermarket Toyota 4runner door handles on their truck with the stock door latches?

I will try to keep this as short and understandable as possible. About a month ago I noticed that my 1045A2 temp was going up to 200 degrees and staying there and the fan wasn't cycling on and off. i did the normal check of unplugging the TDM and it was engaged all of the time. Took the clutch...

So let me preface this by saying that i had a catastrophic failure of the front drive shaft in my 1078 while at max speed on the interstate. Busted axle yoke, transfer case yoke and the driveshaft itself. Not a pleasant moment let me tell you. In the process of disintegrating, it knocked a hole...

I had bought a replacement belt last year and was going to replace it yesterday. After removing the old one, I realized my original was 98' not the 114" one I had bought. So if anyone with the 114" truck needs a new Dayco belt, I'd love to swap you mine for a 98" one.

My tach went bonkers yesterday pegging out full rpm . Odd thing is, it did the same thing about a year ago and replacing the tach speed sensor fixed it. What breaks in these things and can they be checked or repaired? Do they serve any other purpose ,such as transmission control, in my 1045A2?

So I had my injection pump overhauled a while back by Diesel Care and Performance out of Tenessee and the HMMWV ran great ever since. A friend and I were talking about timing the pump so I decided to check mine. When I removed it to be sent out I had marked it's location and installed it in the...

Ever since I got the truck over 3 years ago I have had an issue with door latches. Not anymore! Suprman, you are awesome!

Anyone interested in a thread with pictures of mods and improvements that they have made on their trucks? Someone may see something that they like and be able to contact that individual about getting info and fabricating it for their truck. I've had guys ask about a couple that I did and am...

I've got a 6.5, A2 engine with the serpentine belt that , on startup, has a squeal from one of the idler pulley bearings. Does anyone have a part number for the bearing? I'd like to press in a new one rather than replace the entire pulley.

With the injection pump and intake off of my 6.5, I wanted to clear the valley drain that obviously stopped up and ruined my pump. But I can't locate it at the back of the valley. Looking at the left rear of the engine near the bellhousing/transmission, I found about a 1/4" hole I assumed was...

When pulling the injection pump, is there a special wrench/tool for removing the lower fuel lines with the pump in place? Or do you have to remove the pump with the lines still attached? 6.5 engine.

Where is the most accurate place to scan the engine area with a thermal temperature gun to compare to the temperature gauge? Thermostat housing? Radiator hose?

I'm having problems getting a tachometer to work on my 1045A2. It has the 200 amp alternator and I'm hooking up the signal wire to the AC post, yet getting no movement on the needle. I have the same exact tachometer on my LMTV and it works fine when installed there, so the tachometer is good...

Does anyone know if this aftermarket starter will work on the M1078? I have emailed the company and included a photo of my engine data plate but haven't received a reply. Thanks. https://www.fleetalternatorstarter.com/starter_50312.aspx

Is an Engine Speed sensor necessary? Answer in post 56. I have an issue with my 1997 1078 that I can't figure out. About a month ago, I started on a drive in the 1078 and the transmission stayed in 2nd gear before I went 15 feet with the 7 disappearing from the left side of the shift pad. I...

Coachgeo wanted me to show how to adjust the turn signal on the LMTV/FMTV so here is a quick tutorial. It's very simple to do as all you need is a phillips screwdriver and a 4mm allen wrench. First you must have your steering wheel clocked/adjusted in the 3 and 9 position otherwise the notch...
