    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yeah maybe they will grow on you? I tinted my windows on my humvee and I wasn’t sure if I liked it but after a while it grew on me. But what’s wrong with he stock humvee mirriors? You just don’t like them?

    Now come on with the “heep” stuff. Jeeps are great. But yeah the H1 manual mirrors are very close to the Wrangler mirrors from 1995-2002.

    Engine noise on morning start ups! HMMWV 6.5 GEP

    Yeah I already came to that conclusion. I could only imagine how the Turbo sounds! It's just a really BAD sound and as far as I'm concerned NO internal combustion engine should make such a noise, but who am I to say. Thanks for the info

    Engine noise on morning start ups! HMMWV 6.5 GEP

    Yeah I found that AMG decoder system on the internet. I just didn't know how Retiredwarhorses knows the last character its a "M" I can't make it out for the life of me. It looks all messed up to me? I guess Retiredwarhorses has more experience and better eyes then me. Oh well it sound good to...

    Done some research on my engine today and with the help from Member's on this site and my personal digging I have came to the following conclusion on my engine. Its a 6.5 GEP Optimizer with casting numbers: Rear upper portion of the block casting numbers: Left side-12555506 & Right...

    Engine noise on morning start ups! HMMWV 6.5 GEP

    Oh I'm real! The value covers could have been swapped, you never know. It's not unheard of military guys cannibalizing parts! I'm just saying its in the realm of possibility but I agree it's highly unlikely. But enough of that, Can you tell me or direct me as to how you came up with this...

    Engine noise on morning start ups! HMMWV 6.5 GEP

    Got it. the numbers are not to eligible but heres what i can make out. 12- 05 (or 06) 11? Also in the valley it says 506 made up with all dots. Thinking its a Navistar cast? it should be because AM took over the 6.5 in yearly 2000 an the my engine has a GEP decal on the valve cover. Of course...

    Engine noise on morning start ups! HMMWV 6.5 GEP

    Yeah i also use rotella oil so i will switch brands just in case and just for a little more security i will pour in some lucas also. But speaking of 6.5 GEP's. In my local CL a guy is selling is Humvee and he states in his ad that his engine displacement is a 6.5 GEP and he even state the...

    Woke the beast from winter hibernation and ran her down the road to the park for a photo shoot.

    Engine noise on morning start ups! HMMWV 6.5 GEP

    Awful is correct! yeah I have a 6.5 GEP Optimizer and she is loud!. It sounds like the top of the engine isn't getting any oil. I decided to do some testing of the Cold Advance solenoid (CAS) I unhooked 569a and 569b and placed them together and turned the Humvee to on/run position and then...
