That sounds way out of line. Sounds like the older, two part stuff. There should be another one where you just need the right primer on any bare metal, then you can spray water-based CARC straight onto it. I think it would be just under $100/gal It is 383 green, though. Sent from my SM-G530T...

This sounds like glow plugs cycling. All boxes except for the newest S3 will have the glow plugs cycling on and off for about 2 minutes from key on, even after the wait to start light has gone out. Your headlights probably pulse a little bit with the engine running for the first couple...

I've also heard of issues with timing gears. Basically, use the system you engine was built with. Every system needs to have some movement tolerance and stretch. When you switch to gears, you eliminate one of those tolerance points and put extra, unengineered stress on something else in the...

I couldn't go more than a week without figuring something out. Because of the flanged end, I was originally trying to tap it outward evenly, but just couldn't get enough force to distribute. My room mate dug through his tool box and found a narrow pipe wrench that must have been from the 60s...

And you said you're new to working on cars... do be very careful with two things especially: Do not reach to the power steering system with the engine running. Way too much danger of touching rotating belts. They'll take a finger off much easier than you'd think possible. Do not go under...

It will be difficult to turn when not moving, and nearly impossible without the engine running. Screeching is either the belt slipping, lack of proper fluid level, or air in the lines. If you haven't already bled the power steering system exactly per the manual's instructions, go back and do...

I absolutely love the workhorses, but even more, I'm in love with seeing the attention to detail and hard work put into that CUCV. I think it's an under-appreciated vehicle that got the love that it really deserves. Hope to see it win this round!

Mine was just a dumb, lucky find. I saw ads on the side of Facebook for the Facebook Marketplace and was bored, so clicked it to check it out. "HMMWV" was a worthless search, and "military" turned up mostly uniforms...but there it was: brand new ULCANS for $100. Both the hex and rhombus are...

I read this discussion a while ago and thought it was neat, but it's a lot more interesting now that I just picked up a woodland ULCANS net system (brand new, killer deal... less than the cost of one rhombus from Old Grouch). Thanks for all the discussion over the different pole styles...

Welcome to the club, from a fellow Hoosier. It will be nice having another HMMWV in the AO. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

FKAM, I still owe you some software. It's not been forgotten about since we last spoke, I just have to borrow my room mate's computer to copy the discs and we've been alternating on who's away from the house/too busy in order to actually get those discs made. I wish I could say that tonight...

DatGuyC is right on the money. Image loaded for me. It is the torque converter shield drain port. If you're 100% that it's ATF then DatGuyC is again right on both counts: your torque converter is leaking or the transmission input seal is leaking. Both require the transmission to be dropped...

The serial port is definitely smaller. The current one, which you're looking for, uses a standard D-Sub 9 and the four-pin power like what's pictured above. The connector on the ICE Box side is a round, bayonet-locking plug. I don't have it in front of me right now to provide a picture of...

I didn't watch the video in any great length to make for anything like a thorough analysis, but the two things I've heard people gripe about the most in response is the tire size is too large, causing them to strike the hood at times (and this will also throw off your speedometer), and what...

Easiest way to check those bolts will be to sit in one of the front seats, remove the doghouse/"engine cover" from inside the cab, and look at the "valley" of the block. You'll see the oil pump/tach drive quite plainly from this perspective and it will be very easy to judge which way the bolt...

Fyi, I'd be one of the 4 speed users. Most of the stuff on mine is trashed out, but the neutral switches work and the arms actuate correctly. A new plate would be a welcome improvement, as would some security. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Yeah, probably. It's a very solid idea and it's the whole shift plate, right? The plates themselves are hard enough to come by so a new cut one with a lock added is quite a nice thing. Don't base your pricing on just my whims. I'm just one of many potential consumers and the others might...

You know, I'd be in for a 4 speed one if it could be available for sub-$30. Any more and I'd really have to just break out the welder to embrace my ugly welding ability.

Ok, here's some solid data for you. How to know the difference between a 6.2L engine and a 6.5L engine: https://halfmastpsmag.wordpress.com/2013/10/23/know-the-difference-between-the-hmmwv-6-2l-and-6-5l-detuned-engines/ For Turbo vs Non, the best way to check is to look at the top and rear of...

For "easy," I'd do the 4L80E with an aftermarket shift computer. It's still not easy, but there is certainly less wires and sensors to put together that way. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk
