If swabbie doesn't take you up on it, I will. At least I can take a look at it and decide if it's worth trying to CAD one up to try out. The printer I have now can readily handle the better plastics I would want to build this out of if I were going to sell them and stand behind them. BDGR

Interesting. Wonder if these can be 3D printed? I'm not the best in CAD... But I do have an industrial printer now... BDGR

Plan to come to Graves Mountain Rally over Labor Day. Hard to say what the schedule will be this year, but Cabell plans to hold the rally as of recently https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/graves-mountain-rally-virginia-labor-day-weekend-2020.194950/#post-2294608 BDGR

I'd inspect the fuel tank for algae or other gunk as well, in addition to the items mentioned. Sounds like she just needs cleaned in (cleaned out, inside). Congatulations! BDGR

I've resorted to the screwdriver trick a few times. It works, but is messy. BDGR

Tinstar, I'm ordering parts now for the brakes and having trouble finding the part #s. I can't find a parts manual here on the site. Any chance you have part #s for those Dexter/Redline wheel brake cylinders and other brake parts, or a link to a page where they might be grouped? A friend is...

Rats, I was hoping you bought a truckload of 6.5L Optimizers...

Please keep us posted! I am planning to do the same. BDGR

It's definitely in My squeak is definitely in the body or some fitting, near as I can tell. Not dependent on the brakes. It sounds like its coming from just beyond the llower left side of the doghouse. I haven't tried hard to find it, as it mostly happens when wet so it's too sloppy to want...

I have the same squeak, I think. I hope you find it! Mine is most often present when there is damp on the road surface. BDGR

Mine stutters a little too. I'm sure it's repairable, but my compression is low so the real repair is a powertrain swap. I see no reason to rebuild a 6.2 when better are available. Keep us posted! BDGR

Short of a compression test, you can also check the fuel delivery. Have you changed the fuel filters, bled water from the separator, bled the injectors? Smoke means something is affecting combustion, it's only a few things in the end. It is likely compression, but it could be something...

We plan to come and will have the VHF rig switched on as well. BDGR

An interesting read! I didn't think I'd finish it, but it drew me in. Thanks for sharing. BDGR

Can't say I've ever noticed something like that in mine, so I'd say it's not planned. BDGR

Thanks CARMAN. I’ll reach out to them. Bulldogger

Thanks friend! Hope to hear good news today. BDGR

Or you could pour naval jelly in and wipe it ouT. Then after clean and rinse according to directions for the jelly, hand brush a fuel and rust resistant paint? Lots of answers. The spray and wait stuff, in my experience, never meets the expectations given on the can... lots if ways to skin that...

Greetings All! I'm looking for a reputable shop in Northern VA or DC Metro to handle a re-power of my HMMWV. I'm planning to purchase a 6.5NA or Turbo and 4 speed drivetrain (trans and transfer) soon. I'm prepared financially, and now that I have $$ to invest in it, I'm ready to speak with...

I guess I got lucky wanting OD Green. BDGR
