It's definitely there, though. There were MWOs in-place to call for HMMWVs to be upgraded to those parts if the systems failed. The parts TM indicates exactly what models accept what parts. The original light duty HMMWVs get the older T-Case (NP218?). The A1 and beyond has an NP242. There's...

That's an odd-looking piece. I gather that it deflects air, but what's the specific thing we're trying to deflect air from? Better fuel economy? Less debris on the hood? Making the radiator stack even less efficient?

Sad! But they're large and awkward for use in anything but a field tent. And even then, most people want a wood-fired stove in order to just use locally-sourced fuel instead of buying liquid fuel from not much farther away... I'm intending to build a semi-permanent stack assembly for use...

Congratulations man, great feeling to be driving it, right? You and I are at a similar speed handicap, but I'm already chasing down the issue in my truck and at least know which component isn't working correctly (TCM), just need to find the root cause before I go buying more parts.

Probably avoid that listing, then... There's plenty of HMMWVs out there to buy, and many of them are right here in the classifieds section. The M998A1 has several improvements over the original that I'm honestly starting to forget (3-point seat belts, better transfer case, more reliable...

Sage advise. I thought I read enough and was ready. I got impatient, and I'm about $1000 more spent than I needed to be because I was impatient (buying broken, ineffective components that I thought was an easy adaptation). Take your time, do it right. I need to take a look and see what ratio...

Follow-up: I was running my stove again today, this time, I had more of the pipe section on for better draft and I was using fresh diesel, not the crap from my catch-can that had the muck filtered out. It burned much more steady this time. Same temperatures, but the door was happy to be fully...

Reviving because I've added one of these as a new toy to my line-up. Mine is the older variant with the threaded connections. The surplus store had sold out of all the QD type, but still had the hose assembly lingering around, so he threw it in for free for me since I had some interest in it...

"Never FRAM" is my motto. Their anti backflow value is literally cardboard... another +1 for Rotella. I use it in the HMMWV and my motorcycle, since it meets the JASO spec needed. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

I'm with gimpy. If you already own one, it's a lot of money and headache to get the TH400/3L80 switched over to the 4L80E. If you don't yet own one, it's worth the $3-5k premium to just buy a truck that has a 4L80E already in it. I'm doing the swap-over and have made several very expensive...

...while this isn't my most productive post, this reminds me that I should change my engine oil. It doesn't have very many miles on it, but it sure has been in the engine for a while. This is also probably the right time for me to swap the dipstick out with the DWF one I have on-hand.

Finished? It's not... but I can update! Engine was brought roaring back to life with a professional injection pump rebuild. I worked with DieselCare of Tennessee to have them perform a very cost-effective rebuild (under $300) that left me with a pump that fired up the engine with zero...

This should mean that the rail lines going that way should look a lot more interesting now. Just a couple weeks ago, I watched a train on the elevated tracks right through the heart of downtown loaded up with MRAPs and Bradleys...that's always a great sight to see.

Today I learned that a HMMWV has at least one part cross-comparible with a Geo Metro. Gates 21781. It seems their coolant system has a common fitment... Who knew? As you can tell, I'm working on coolant line replacement. The Gates part was $12 delivered vs $25 delivered for the AM General...

Might be a fine idea to repair the finish on that alternator while you have it out. Those things cost way too much to lose one due to housing corrosion. If we were still swimming in $200 alternators like we were 2 years ago, I'd be a bit less concerned...

...to what purpose? Are you talking about using them as an intercom system, or something else? Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Gentlemen, this is all very, very useful information. It sounds like I'm going to have to build my own cable. Likely, I'll just source one of the widely available standard radio cables and a separate U-329 connector and replace the VRC-12-era connector with that U-329. I imagine the pinout...

So I'm finally coming around to my vehicle-radio setup. I have my PRC-138 as my only functional military radio and do want to set it up to function in my HMMWV. As it is, I have the power delivery functional... The PRC-138 is outfitted with a WKW-7 DC power adapter (powers up via +24V and has...

Wow, that's a lot rougher than my lack of TCM. Glad you're on the trail now and ready for a proper recovery. As for me, 1 of 2 yards checked. Not a single one of the marks was a diesel. Only one even had a 4L80E in it. Ain't looking good... Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

It looks like where we visited last winter for the day trip, but I'm not 100% sure of that. I'm hoping that one of the two you-pull scrap yard will have a transmission computer that I can snag up tonight. There's a few trucks of the right year listed in their inventory, but they don't specify...
