    I think my head gasket failed

    Is the fluid brown in the overflow tank? Does not sound good. I really hate those torque to yield bolts. Good luck. Mark

    Armored Humvees Powertrain

    The 4BT is a great motor capable of good power for its size. One thing on the 4BT is it is NOT a smooth engine at all This can be rectified with a fluid damper harmonic balancer. Can put out more power easily over the 6.5. Mark

    Armored Humvees Powertrain

    The fully armored Humvees with the 6.5 turbo can't get out of their own way. Look into the 6BT 12 valve as it is capable of far more power and much more longevity. The Duramax would also be a great choice. They are much better power options for a heavier vechicle. Just my 02 cents but I'm...

    Batteries

    I've had luck with the smart chargers below. One amp charge and a minimal float charge when the battery is fully charge. I use these for my car trailer for a car with two batteries and two motorcycle batteries. My trailer has a solar system (150w) and four mismatched car batteries. I wanted...

    Can anyone tell me

    And 5 or six years ago the HMMWVs could be had at a far better price and in better shape than most of the gear they are releasing now. Mark

    Glow Plug Removal

    The worst one is number 8. One closest to the driver. No room at all and that is one I had fight with. Dont forget to put some copper never-seize on the plug threads. I much much prefer the Cummins system as a single unit that heats the air in the intake. Simple,effective and easily worked on...

    Glow Plug Removal

    Has happened to me. The tip can snap off and if you pull the injector you should be able to grab it from the inside using needle nose pliers then using a small punch to tap it in from the outside. I came up with an idea to use a cotton ball to put into the pre-cup under the plug tip to catch it...

    Let's talk about HMMWV paint

    Mine is holding up great after four years now. Slight fading but only noticeable when you touch up. She stays out in my lot so no shade. I have a Mason jar I keep in the truck and just had to add two teaspoons of pure white to the paint to have it more accurately match the color on the truck...

    using behr on firearms

    Getting it to stick properly may be a big issue. You want to paint this on plastic and not a wooden stock right. If you paint a wooden stock I will have to go to church and light a candle for you. Lol Mark

    Installed a tire pressure monitor system but.....

    You need to remove all the air and fill it with pure nitrogen to make the tires safe. If you go along with that then you're in luck. I have this nice bridge for sale with a price so low it should be criminal. You could install a toll both and make a fortune. Mark

    1994 M1123 won’t start. Please help!

    You really should not use ether on the Hmmwv motors. It will work but you will be playing with fire. Mark

    On the hunt for a gas turbine!

    If you are looking for a powerful litte compact turbine that you can setup with an afterburner I would seriously look at the Boeing 502 line. Very compact and puts out some good thrust. With an afterburner you can get close to 300lbs of thrust. I've wanted one for years. Mark A&P
