You sound like a drunk college fraternity member.
(Still you’re absolutely correct! Painters’ tape ASAP to cover that!)

Good opportunity to gasket match the intake manifold as well. Super quick job with a decent die grinder.

I at least cleaned the drain hole! Surprised it's that little. Full of sand. I'll have to get some high temp paint as I have a week before ip is rebuilt.

Doubtful but it sure made me feel betterA few extra horses?
There was a lot of extra material/casting shift in the 6.2L manifold I matched.

The guy who did mine is on point, he is SFL if you are interested.24 bolt rims just delivered, but missing nuts, stems and orings Changing out the IP for the second time. This time it's going to a stanadyne authorized shop for rebuild. I'm not doing this again.

Your injection pump? I took mine a town over to Diesel USA(formerly Magura Diesel) in Crown Point, Indiana. They are a stanadyne authorized repair facility and they have a great reputation. I actually did get a pump from Diesel Care and Performace, they sent wrong one so I ended up just taking my pump to get rebuilt and sent back the pump to Diesel Care.

Exciting News, EUC has been approved.. Shipping company will be picking up the Humvee in GA within 5 days.. Was a pretty quick turn-around, under 50 days from winning the auction to the EUC approved. I know there's another wait time with the SF-97 being delivered.. Heard that could be 2-3 months in some cases.

I went to a local body shop and got my m1123 inspected for lights and stuff dmv requires. Went and got it smogged on a 4 wheel dyno and back to dmv and now I have everything I need to get plates when my appointment comes. Easy process but time consuming and more expensive than I thought it would be. Smog 80$ inspection 250$ probably 200$ to register it. Being able to drive it anywhere I want, priceless! Oh I have an oil leak and it looks like it’s coming from the oil filter adapter and running down the corner of the oil pan and bell housing cover.

Great, there are some great folks here that will be happy to help you out, if it is your first HMMWV understand it is somewhat of a different animal than most vehicles.
If you have not already done so do go and down load all the TMs in the sticky section above, you will have much more success and be much more confident if you take the time to understand what is going on rather than simply asking for the answer, and if you have not used TMs they are also somewhat of a different animal,,,,,,,but of course ask away and again welcome.

Yep, already got them and know them pretty well.. I've restored a few cars in the past, only the diesel will be the area of all the questions.. LOL

FedEx just delivered my thermostat and my light bulb for my turn signal. It drove me nuts not working and I took it apart and cleaned everything up and still didn’t work. I had some help here and found out I had the wrong bulb. It works now.

That’s the coolest Estes model rocket launcher I’ve ever seen.

Jumping into the deep end of the pool…bad injection pump. Fortunately, not mine..but a good opportunity to see how this all works.
