    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    I ordered my transmission from Bowtie last week. It’ll be shipping in 10 weeks per their current backlog. As TOBASH said they ask you a bunch of questions about the truck and how you intend to use it and put together the entire package, transmission, torque converter, flex plate, dip tube...

    Looks really nice! As soon as I can get a break from the day job I need to start calling a few shops I was referred to and get my transmission swap underway. I’m leaning toward the 700r4 due to the reasons you mentioned plus the gear ratios seem well matched to the needs of better 1st gear from...

We also like trips to Wilmington or the outer banks and it’s a blast once there but 200-300 miles each...

    TOBASH any ideas the hours the shop had into the 765r4 swap and extra items needed other than the shifter? If you don’t mind what did the suggest/explain that got you sold on the 765 vs a level 2 700? I’m thinking of this as well. I mainly aim to use mine for farm chores, woods trips and the...
