Hi all, figured I'd start a thread to document this junk truck build as I go along. It's going to be a long project as I only have one or two free days a month. Hopefully have it done within 5 years. The plan is to LS swap it, will be a N/A 5.3, will be cammed with some nice heads and...
Hi all, was wondering the comparability of the parts in the title, M998 vs M1123. My 1123 is missing everything. The A2 stuff seems really expensive but I see earlier M998 stuff for dirt cheap. Can I get the 998 stuff and just slap it on? Thanks
Hi all, bought another HMMWV, it's a non running bucket. Was planning on doing a U-Haul trailer for pickup, my question is, do you know if the yard guys bring out the non running trucks with the big fork loader? If so has anyone had them use it to drop a HMMWV right onto the trailer? Trying to...
Wondering if anyone here has some detailed pics of the Rod Hall suspension setup? Measurements would also be great. I need more suspension compliance when going over washboard here in the desert. Currently the M1038 suspension is unbearable and feels like the truck is going to rattle itself to...
Can anyone confirm the refrigerant and oil capacity on the RedDot R-2400-0 unit for a 4 man HMMWV?
The evap says 4lbs of 134a, the TM says 4.8 max of 5.2.
Oil capacity on the evap says 277cc, the compressor says 270cc. I don't know if either number is for the WHOLE system.
Any help is...
Please read the thread. The China parts are terrible. Now that my turbo is done, I've turned my attention to the AC since driving this truck in 120* heat sucks. Bought an AC kit on eBay for $800 to my door. It included a genuine RedDot evap unit, and Chinese compressor, condensor, lines...
Hey all, figured I'd post up my boredom project. The goal was to use cheap parts, and do zero permanent mods to the M1038. Just upfront, I have HF welder and can't weld the thin stuff well so no hating on the welds, everything else is fair game. Got a LB7 dirtymax turbo, a box of pipe and some...
This is for my ex police impala. I received my SF97 from Texas, got the paperwork started at CA dmv, but they need an odometer disclosure to finish registration. Anyone here know anyone at govplanet that can help with this? I'm waiting to hear back from govplanet but figured asking here too...
Picking up a cop car, plan is for Monday. The address they have given me is different than where I got my HMMWV. 33304 National Trails Highway, lot 357A, Barstow CA 92311. Google maps puts it in the middle of the desert. I only live about 30mins away, but don't wanna be driving around Barstow...
So the blinkers on my HMMWV work when the headlights are off in "Stoplight" but when switched to "Service Drive" the blinkers don't work. Is this normal? Thanks
