    Questions I have, can you help

    Sorry about the curiosity but it has a hold of me. I have been wondering a few things about the Auctions and one thing on the HMMWV. First question I have is why are a good number of auction trucks seem to have had the belt(s) cut or removed? I was guessing this this was an anti theft thing but...

    Something rattling in my head

    As how hard are these engine to work on? Guess that would depend your you and how well you use tools. I do not find them hard. However if yours has one of the dang 400 amp alternators... that would make a nun cuss like a sailor.

    Something rattling in my head

    This maybe the "normal" 6.5 sound. When they run I think I hear a pinging or knocking or clunking noise. If you know anyone in you AO with a 6.5 in your area would listen to it and compare. I have also found that these engines seem to have their own personalty to say. One will be a dog, one...

    Lower insde A pillar cover things

    My truck was one of the de-armored trucks. The lower inside A pillar don't have a cover like on the un-armored trucks. Is there a part number for these? I looked in the TM and didn't see them. Or is there someone scrapping out a body where I could get them? Picture below is the right (pass) side.

    Looking to Purchase an LMTV

    I had lockers in my M1008 CUCV pickup and that was just as bad as the LMTV. Need some weight in the back. Also the snow here in Washington is slick as snot on the wet side. Add some hills and you ain't going anywhere.

    Military to Civilian Engine Swap Questions

    Injector lines are not the same between the 2 engines. If you force the 6.2 on a 6.5 they will break after awhile.

    First shakedown and I have a question about the fan clutch

    I did take a look and saw you used H1 parts. It seems these parts (from H1 part vendors) have dried up. I was looking for a GM parts.
