    Seafoam Trans Tune

    I personally don’t buy in to viper semen or snake oil. In modern Diesel engines that are mandated to run ULSD, I run power service diesel clean. In these military trucks that were required to run on JP8 for their life’s, it would be an absolute treat to run DF2 with some power service. Water...

    Opening up my own shop, gauging intrest

    That is what I said, reference my last sentence in the post you quoted.

    6.5 turbo intake on NA 6.2

    The highest flowing factory intake manifold for the 6.2/6.5/6.5T engines, per flow bench numbers, is the single plain 6.2 “J code” intake manifold. The 6.5T can’t flow the same CFM, but that is what the turbo is for, or that is the theory. It (the 6.5T) speeds up the charge Air velocity in to...

    Deuce engine swap?

    DT466TA with the 540 sleeves gets my vote.

    Opening up my own shop, gauging intrest

    There are companies that sell full aluminum bodies that seem to be really nice, better be for the cost! I would like to be a solution to common issues/wants. Again, I’m not opposed to routine maintenance and modification to standard civilian vehicles; I’ve done LS swaps in to Asian vehicles...

    Fuel Delivery - M1009

    DM me and I can walk you through it. I’m not that far away from you. I would be happy to repair, service or even modify it for you if you like.

    Opening up my own shop, gauging intrest

    There are a lot of variables with considering the 4L80E from the civilian market. This starts at what year transmission you select will determine if your stock trans cooler lines and be used or not and if your trans pan will clear the cross member. Then there is the drive shafts, what...

    Opening up my own shop, gauging intrest

    The idea is to buy trucks pre auction, get them to turn key runners, then sell/auction them off. We can and will do all your modifications as well if that’s your thing. We will also do general services as well. We’re not opposed to civi trucks (light duty to heavy duty) and other 4x4s. The...

    Pinging/knocking after injectors!?!

    I get it. The precombustion chamber gives the swirl and high velocity of the intake charge. Low pressure fuel is injected and combustion happens. The flame front expands out of the precombustion chamber, across the cylinder, then down as it pushes the piston down. But when you compress .77...

    Pinging/knocking after injectors!?!

    I don’t see, personally, how a Diesel engine with 18-21:1 static compression would even need glow plug in 90 plus degree weather. Not saying I’m disagreeing with any one. Just stating my opinion. My gut has been saying fuel issue. I could be wrong, wouldn’t be the first time. Because I’m...

    Pinging/knocking after injectors!?!

    Action, you must be mistaken. I’ve never met you in person, haven’t lived in Florida for over 12 years, and never worked on your car. Sorry for the confusion

    Pinging/knocking after injectors!?!

    Bighorn; these injectors are new stock replacements. This knock/pinging only started after I replaced the injectors. And it also not occurs off throttle (rev down) after reving up (1/4 or more throttle you input). I didn’t even suspect cold advanced due to ambient temperatures being 90 plus...

    2 inch SPACER ON TOP OF COIL SPRINGS

    In my personal experience, if your running a true 40” tire; on the rim and Aired up, measured from the bottom of the tread to the top of the tread, you CAN physically fit it. But if you start to articulate the suspension and/or in a full lock steering angle, your going to have moderate rub...

    2 inch SPACER ON TOP OF COIL SPRINGS

    Rubber duck 4X4. Yes, the H1 and HMMWV suspension lifts (coil spacers) are the same. The M1114 springs have a much higher spring rate, but will also provide some lift. Same with the H1 alpha springs

    Pinging/knocking after injectors!?!

    Update; The injectors are new. The owner just text me and said it knocked at first when reving, but once it came up to temperature, the knock went away. Injectors are not the problem. I’m thinking piston slap

    Insulating the Turbo Doghouse

    Trust me when I say this, boom mat and lizard skin are not even in the same ball park. To apply lizard skin, it has to be mixed to the consistency of peanut butter and has to be sprayed out of a professional spray gun. The sound deadening coating is a rubber based coating with fibrous insulation...

    Tulsa mechanic to check out HMMWV before buying and transporting

    I’m in the dallas/Fort Worth area. I’m sure we could work something out. Shoot me a PM

    Where is this leak coming from?

    Highly unlikely. The mechanical brake TYPICALLY has no interaction with the hydraulic brake system. They operate independently of each other. This is why you must twist the piston in as you compress it in; the twist is to “screw” it back in due to the mechanics of how the integrates parking...

    2 inch SPACER ON TOP OF COIL SPRINGS

    Yes. And the body lift puck spacers (up to 3”) and body mount body lift (up to 1-2”).
