I’m going to be testing my oil pressure with a mechanical gauge soon. Does anybody know offhand the thread pitch of the sensor? I was looking to put a tea fitting in.
I’m following TM sequence to service LH valve cover gasket. Plenum crossover and LH manifold must come off in sequence so as to not bend injection lines.

The problem is there is not enough clearance to remove crossover from turbo outlet. A...
Regulator failed on the road today. I was fortunate to make it to my destination on battery.
Q: suggestions on where to source this regulator? New/NOS pricing seems to vary $600-$900ish which IMO is pretty dear for a voltage regulator.
I’m getting into the LR shaft to assess problems with the hub side joint. Referencing TM 9-2320-387-24-1 section 6-7 for ECV.
I’m not entirely clear on hub side joint disassembly. Any guidance appreciated.
Are cross/clips/roller cages available?

Thought the group might appreciate this. Torsen diff was destroyed in service. Wheel teeth are stripped and some of the helical gears are as well. Fortunately the ring & pinion survived.
Going back together with new bearings and a replacement Torsen….

M1151A1.
Removing rear diff for service. The driveshaft to pinion bolts are stuck well. Tried WD40 in the back side of the bolt hole bores along with mapp gas heating. No joy.
Trying air hammer flat anvil on the pinion next. Then destructive removal.
Any other suggestions?

I need to clean up the valley to remove an accumulation of sand and clear the drain. Also need to validate the IP and feed hoses are no longer leaking (hoses and IP lines were loose).
Q:
Access is really limited even with the intake tube removed. What’s the best way to gain access...
Scored a pair at auction but does not include buckets. What bucket do I need or gut the composite bucket to mount?
Looking for TM coverage as well.

We’re looking at retirement location options a few years out. Curious what the feasibility if any is to retain my HMMWV on island.

M1151A1. Radiator brackets have separated from the top tank. I’m looking to solder them back on. Q: Are they riveted together OEM or soldered/brazed?

I have an 1151A1 with a broken rear variable spring. I’m looking at the standard 10K variable springs vs the HD variable springs. Can the 10K variable springs be used (I’m not planning on running armor or heavy payload on this one). The UOC calls for the HD spring but these are comparatively...
I don’t often complain about corporate interests however this one is egregious.
The HMMWV ECV/REV M83P2 steering gear produced by R.H. Sheppard (Spicer CV) cannot be effectively serviced in the aftermarket. Sheppard protects their remanufacturing business aggressively and will not source...
I'm getting into seasonal maintenance a tad late.
MEP-802A is acting up a tad. The starter will kick in briefly and then stop when the switch is engaged. Dead crank has no problem engaging the starter continuously. I presume this is a bad solenoid or start relay somewhere. Where do I start...
Long story, I'm WIP re-installing the front differential after a rebuild.
The differential is in, RF brakes are done. I'm having difficulty with the LF caliper installation. There is not enough room in the forward direction to slip the caliper around the adapter/pads/rotor assembly. I'm...
I'm finally getting around to taking CNC mill classes at the local shop. Next week I have the opportunity to run the mill on a test pattern in aluminum or mild steel. Curious if there are any developed Fusion 360 patterns for some small interesting parts on the HMMWV platform. Nothing...
Curious if anyone has attempted a rebuild/reseal. The box on my 1151 has excessive sector shaft play and leaks. Figure it’s worth a seal and sector shaft bearing.

I need to replace the RF lap belt and am missing some of the brackets. Having a hard time finding a parts diagram to ID the belt and bracket.
Here’s the belt bracket, there is a missing extension that keeps the belt from contacting the battery tray.

I have a solar pulse charger that is known good. Curious about standard mounting locations in the service. I’m not overly enamored with hood/mushroom cap mounting or drilling holes in the top. Considering fabricating an aluminum panel mount to an existing location near the RF passenger roof for...
