    HMMWV M1097R1 specific

    I’m torn between installing one or not. I don’t plan on having to take that line off at all once it’s all back together.

    Installed the new oil pan. Cleaned out the oil pan mounting bolt holes & chased the threads to get RTV out. Need to buy coolant but I reckon I’ll replace the T-stat while the coolant is drained. Will replace the fan clutch, impeller, and shroud as I reassemble. One of the fan clutch hoses...

    Finally started on the 1097R1. Removed the hood & radiation & P/S & transmission oil coolers. I need to replace the fan clutch and shroud anyway. GP crunched my engine oil pan up with a forklift when moving it around so I pulled the oil pan off. Let me tell you; the RTV they used could hold...

    I’ve been AWOL for some time. Too much going on. Still have the 998 and 1097R1. Have assembled a decent assortment of parts. Still need to source an oil pan gasket for the 6.5 NA. GovPlanet kindly dented my engine oil pan up and I’m not going to take any chances & “send it”. I also need a...

    I’ve noticed that there is a quick disconnect on some fan clutch hoses. I don’t happen to have one and am not currently looking for one. It seems the only reason to use a Q-disconnect is so you don’t need to try and cram 2 hands in to such a tight space.

    Mine either. I wonder why some have them & others do not? Could it be that these were “early on” data plates and at a certain point they (RECAP program managers) simply decided to not put them on anymore? Or, did certain RECAP sites apply them while other modification sites did not...

    Yes. I was also looking at the RECAP date of 2009.

    I just noticed this tag when looking at other MWV’s. This is a 1987 M998 (I may have the year of manufacture wrong) that went through the program in 2009 and was then given the M1097R1 model. They call it a 1987 M1097R1.

    This is my 1097R1. Based on the tach drive bolt being on the right this is a 6.5L engine. If the tach clamping bolt were on the left it would be a 6.2.

    This thread is intended to be 1097R1 specific where we can consolidate the nuances of the R1’s.
