    Stall converter rpm recommendation

    For a NA diesel keep the stall low and would look at 1200-1300 somewhere around there. With a turbo diesel I would go with a 1400 stall to give a tad more rpms to spool up the turbo. I really like the idea of a 700R4 and I happen to have a built one in a Mazda pickup and I may steal it for the...

    HMMWV brush guard orientation

    So you are worried about good law abiding immigrants who are just searching for a better way of life from doing something illegal? Could the Mods delete this hateful harmful non PC thread please. LOL Mark

    1st time owner joy to sadness. Coolant in oil

    First pull the dip stick and see what color the oil is. What temp did you run max? If coolant is coming from the weep hole you may be ok. Go step by step before thinking of the worst. The most I ever do is 65 on the speedo and I usually keep her at 60. Don't panic yet. Mark

    M101A1 spare tire solutions or bracket?

    I used one of the M37 setups but mounted the tire inside. Mark

    I think Ii have a problem with my glow plugs - Lots of white smoke & wont start

    I had to change out the temp sensor in the block. When cold the injection pump advances the timing for the injectors. Mine starts fine now and the sensor was like 35 bucks and easy to change. Mark

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    With the 37" tires on the HMMWV I would be real nervous to run without run flats. It's a long way down to the rim and could cause real problems on the highway with a blowout. Mark

    Installed some backup lights...

    Yeah I have to agree. They sit too low so I am going to get some very low profile lights to mount there. Thanks guys. Mark

    Sherman tank radial engine

    That would be worth a bit of coin to a person restoring an old Sherman. New in the crate I could see 20K on up to whatever someone will pay. Good find! Mark

    Installed some backup lights...

    Installed a pair of military lights to use as backup lights. Just running off a toggle for now until I setup a switch on the tranny shiftier. I still have 13" of clearance under the lights so that is not a problem. I sure can see backing up now :) Mark

    Installed a new light bar and six PAR 36 lights with 18W 1800 Lumens LEDs.

    No not at all. The light bar must be blocking it. I may make up a bracket to run over the lights to protect them but honestly I have not done much with her off road. The cool thing was since the amps are so low I did not even have to wire in a relay. Mark

    Installed a new light bar and six PAR 36 lights with 18W 1800 Lumens LEDs.

    Why sure. Could not find these for any kind of good price (average was around 40 bucks each) so I looked around had them shipped right from China. I paid $9.00 each plus shipping but now it looks like $5.00 each plus shipping and a ten unit minimum. Took about a week and a half to get them...

    Installed a new light bar and six PAR 36 lights with 18W 1800 Lumens LEDs.

    Just finished up installing the new lights on the light bar. Had to shorten the fording stack to make everything work. These units put out some serious light and only draw about 4 amps for the six of them. Really pleased with the look and operation. Mark

    Found a broken bolt under the HMMWV please help me ID where it cam from

    Oh my, I don't have that bracket. Looks like I have to order one of those. Thank you very much. Mark

    Found a broken bolt under the HMMWV please help me ID where it cam from

    It is a huge heavy starter and secured just at one end. With all the bouncing/shock there is a good load on those bolts and if over tightened it puts a greater load in tension on the poor bolts. If there was a bracket at the tail end of the starter they would probably never break. Mark
