Until you asked I didn't know there was a Turbo Shroud. My 1987 M998 has a 1990's era 6.5TD stuffed in it using the original cooling stack and we seem to be doing fine.

I made half doors a few years ago using frames from doors in that condition. I wasn't able to sell them much, so I'm not particularly interested, sorry, but someone might be for that use or another.
Tip: They are reasonable to ship ($$) if you strip them and they can lie good and flat and...
The NP242 (most common HMMWV TC) allows selection of Locked and Unlocked differentials. At highway speeds we run in High (unlocked), off road we put it in High Lock or Low (which is locked).
It does produce TC binding to run on clean pavement/flat ground with the TC locked, and the tech manual...
If someone nearby has access to an old school radiator shop that can boil it out and reseal it, then yes it has value. If not, there isn't much I guess it'd be good for. Maybe some scrap value, but again that's if local services take them in.

You didn't mention that you bled the injectors. This is always a good idea after making changes to the fuel system. They can trap air and cause symptoms such as you describe.

I agree under anything but very odd conditions it won't result in a vacuum, it is just to pull air off the hubs and so on to prevent them building pressure and failing seals and perhaps bring a little moisture/vapor out at the same time.

In case it helps I recently troubleshot a problem with my Wait light. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/removing-unscrewing-badly-corroded-smart-box-plug.203348/#post-2378030

Gotcha.
Regarding green coolant, I've read that is will work but most swear by SCA versions that fight corrosion. Peak makes the one I use, and it is Pink.
Green won't harm the engine, but won't protect it from internal corrosion, as I understand it.

Glad it was simple. Usually is. Please post the part number(s) used, in case someone else finds this thread later and has the same problem. Easy to do when it's on your mind.

I have been toying with the idea of putting Flex Seal on one of my soft slant backs to test its durability. Would paint OD green over it of course. Hope you try it, cause I've been curious for some time about whether Flex Seal can approximate the vulcanized rubber technique OEM suppliers use...

Here is one on eBay, but I bet you can find it cheaper elsewhere https://www.ebay.com/itm/184562853658?hash=item2af8cda71a:g:bTEAAOSw2UpfyP9L
Best of luck. Please...
Thanks Mullaney. I put Seafoam in the crankcase too, and will drain the oil about halfway through the tank after it has more time to clean up the innards. Then I'll do my usual drain and fill with a ZDDP additive and see how she fares.
I am half thinking I'll flush and fill the transmission...
