    HMMWV Question

    What is the NSN or pn# on the alternator? I can cross that to the NSN/pn# for the correct volt-reg.

    Injection pump help

    You can change out throttle shaft O-rings yourself without needing a recalibration. Especially easy on older pumps, like those found in a 6.2, because no adjustable guide stud. Remove kick down stuff from the throttle shaft, pull the cap, remove the guide stud, rotate mini/max block out of the...

    M1008 CUCV Hot Rod Project L92 engine 6L80e transmission Swap

    My LQ9 from 08 2500HD 4x4 came with a 6L90..... Having to change out the transfer input to take the huge 6L90 shaft. Found a gear that will make it happen but what a PIA compared to 6L80. If only I had known then what I know now.... Nice work! NEED MORE UPDATES.

    Fender tire clearance options/ideas

    Yes, good point, thanks. Have not started buying steering yet because of potential binding/contact and other issues that may come up with clearing the springs. Want to get the axle placed first then start looking at parts/solutions. I think I will use a drop pitman arm and a bent drag link to...

    Fender tire clearance options/ideas

    I used stamped/pressed centers and I think they are 4.5"BS. Need to re-measure. My fenders are very nice and will suck to cut them up.... Im using B52's and will push fwd 1-2".

    Fender tire clearance options/ideas

    Perfect. Gives me some ideas and a lot simpler than I was thinking, thanks. Im holding off on blasting and painting my inner fenders because I was thinking some sledge hammer work may be needed. You got any shots of the cut inner fenders?

    Fender tire clearance options/ideas

    Need to fit 37's on re-centered 24b's. Im using ORD shackle flip + 1" body lift and 52" springs up front. I will need to remove a lot of material and Im ok with that so long as it looks ok. Options: 1. Hack-em up. 2. Hack + plastic flares 3. Fiberglass integrated bulge/flare. 4. Reshape...

    Anybody done a body lift?

    I bought a 1" body lift from ORD. I want the extra 1" to help minimize fender butchering (37's). I ended up using hockey pucks. The ORD body lift pucks are only like 2" od and don't make full contact with the chassis. The hockey pucks are like 3" od and cover up the entire chassis to body...

    IP questions

    On a CUCV should be just a flat tip or (AIRC) a 1/4" socket. The cap contains the running solenoid and the cold start solenoid (54A and 569B circuits) Later 6.2 and 6.5's have the tamper proof torx, I think a T15 (been a while). If its not the OEM pump it could be a torx. All three screws...

    Anyone else here have a front mount intercooler on their turbo M1009?

    Conventional wisdom says that below 10psi or so any IC falls into the diminishing returns category. At that low of boost any benefit in charge cooling is negated by the restriction the IC adds. Sounds like you did it right by adding a monster IC to get the restriction down. I would download...

    NP241 wide bearing case id?

    Im looking at a few 89-91 241C's at the moment from Suburban, Blazer, but Im not sure how to ID a case with the wider input shaft bearing? I have a special input gear I have to swap in to make my trans work and it is a wide bearing gear. Im guessing that the housing between narrow and wide...

    a few turbo and exhaust questions

    How much power are you looking to make? What you are describing sounds like a max effort build, but then your going to keep the boost low (counter intuitive). I have a feeling that this motor is going to be very disappointing for you. I think you would be much farther ahead swapping a D-max or...

    a few turbo and exhaust questions

    Wrap is great for 321 SS or thicker wall 304, crappy China 304 or thin wall the added retention will crack the manifold/DP and usually at the weld (ask me how I know). I have done bare metal, ceramic coated, and wrap. I like the newer lava wrap stuff because it doesn’t make you itch for days and...

    HMMWV Question

    You can tell your altenator is good because you can test all the circuits (cap, pot, rectifier, stator/rotor, diodes, ect) what you cannot do (according to the TM SMR code) is de-pot the solid state reg to test/repair the circuits, and it would be news to me to find out the AGARS has this...

    Turbo LS swap. Swamp Donkey 2 The Saga Begins.

    Fuel: I plan on using a couple OE fuel tanks. Was going to do poly tanks but the ones I have are in good shape. Running an extra in-line pump between the tanks. This way I can work around the need for a lot of additional plumbing to the rails (-8AN/-6AN gets expensive), and I don't think I...

    Turbo LS swap. Swamp Donkey 2 The Saga Begins.

    Seats are about done. These are Smittybuilt suspension seats and the center console is from a 2013-14 Dodge. Welded some 2x2x.188 to the floor for mounting the seats. I hated to do this but not a lot of options with this wonky (no flat spots) floor. Looked for a few weeks to find a reasonable...

    Turbo LS swap. Swamp Donkey 2 The Saga Begins.

    Body is done. Bed lined the deck. I have no idea what color this is but I like it wayyyy more than any other CARC color I have seen. Came in an old can so couldn't get the NSN/pn#. Seats go in this weekend. Messed with some SRT8 take outs I got from a 2010 Grand Cherokee. These seats are...

    Turbo LS swap. Swamp Donkey 2 The Saga Begins.

    Exactly; dial indicator and set up on a rear hub, spin, knock it around, tack, repeat. Kind of a trade off because as you adjust the axial you inadvertently will screw up your radial..... These "pressed" centers are a very tight fit in the ID of the rim, even with the factory coating removed...

    Thinning CARC?

    I have been using MEK to thin with pretty good results. Even spraying in 50'ish degree weather it seems to set up and dry fine, just takes a bit longer. Looks like I got one more shot at spraying with a 50'ish degree day and I was wondering about using acetone to thin? Seems like it would...

    Turbo LS swap. Swamp Donkey 2 The Saga Begins.

    Finished burning in my rock rings tonight and started paint. Came out pretty good. Good idea to grind a bevel or you will end with huge beads hanging off the lip of the rim. Ugly and weak. Also used some clamps to keep things flush while I tacked in place. Reentering the H1's. Used my...
