Day 2 Transmission Swap, rebuilt front driveshaft with new U-joints and seal cap. Put the new fuel tank together with new sending unit and mostly new parts. The new tank also has seems to have a spot for an additional shield so I'm going to look into that. Here's the tank all mounted in...

Old Transmission (back with green strap on it) TH400 with 218 Transfer case New Transmission (front) 4L80 with 242 Transfer case Old fuel tank and New fuel tank. Hope it fits, trying tomorrow.

Day 1, on paper everything seems easier than it is LOL. Actually it didn't go to bad. Pulled the Y pipe and since it was new the bolts came out pretty easy. Previous owner put the new Y pipe in and didn't tighten much and left a few bolts out so that made it easier. Cross member came out...

Tomorrow I start the 4L80/242 conversion. I've been collecting parts now for a couple of years leading up to this. I have everything I think I need but we'll find out soon. The easy part is bolting it in. The hard part is making it drive again. Hopefully it will only take a couple days...

I'm not sure about your state or the letter you posted but I'll tell you how my state works and maybe it will allow you to ask some questions in your state. I have a truck. The Gross weight of the truck is 11,500 lbs. My curb weight is 6,400 lbs. The Curb weight is the weight of the vehicle...

Went to a car show today with the HMMWV and it was a huge hit with the kids. Where all the other cars were "do not touch" I told the parents they could let their kids do whatever they wanted. Sitting in the driver seat, climbing in the back etc. Parents took lots of pictures of the kids...

There are many different ways it could be done. None of them are going to be easy and there are many things to consider. For a road vehicle the rims have to be DOT approved or at least marked. The overall structural integrity of the finished wheel is a major concern also. The way I am doing...

There are a few reasons why that doesn't work but the main reason is the rim is only 6" wide and would not fit the tires. Also I would have to make 24 fake bolts for the rim.

Your fan should not spin free when off. You need to view the troubleshooting steps. I simply look at the fan clutch and plug and unplug the time delay cable while it is running and see if the fan clutch moves in and out. It only moves .2 inches so you need to watch it very closely. Basically...

In another thread by Tobash, I posted about running 17" tires on stock HMMWV steel wheels by modifying the rim. It involves removing the bead area on a donor rim and attaching it to the stock steel rims. This is much more complicated than it sounds ... if it sounds easy LOL. Today I worked...

I prefer to use Dielectric grease. Not to mention the benefit for the pins.

Are we including cup size? DD might be a thing. Jus sayin

All of mine were old style cans

No extra nozzle's for me. I've bought 8 cans so far. 2 Green that worked great. Then 4 Green that worked as shown in the picture, Then 2 Black that worked Great.

Should I also have to wear rubber booties to protect my shoes? See the paper towels on the ground that are covered with dripping paint? Did you have to wipe up a pool of paint from the top of the can? I know how to spray paint and I overstand value of the rubber gloves, I've also touched up...

I've been using the Rapco paint on my Hmuvee and have been happy with the color match. However I ordered a couple of the spray cans recently and more came out of the bottom of the valve and all over my hands than came out the nozzle. I sent them an email to explain the problem and they...

If you mean the water drain (?) sticking out at 7 o'clock, the old one has it also but you can't see it with the angle of the camera.

My Air Cleaner assembly was in less than great shape. I bought a used replacement and it was in great condition. In changing it out I noticed a few things. First there are 3 clamps on it and only 2 of them actually hold it? Do all have 3 clamp and is one just a spare? On mine 1 is spare...

I bought a dipstick from a dipstick. I bought a dipstick for the transmission swap coming up, on epay. I received it and it is twisted, bent on the width (not the thin flat part) and in general poor condition. As I'm sure many of you know, when you push a dipstick into the tube it is pretty...

Couple of updates.... Before that I just want to say this is a recreational vehicle to me, basically just for fun. Sometimes it seems like it takes a long time to get something done or even seems like it isn't getting done. I'm not in a rush other than I want to drive it more but for the most...
