Our drive train only realistically allows a 22” or so shortening. Personally, I would never want a shortened version. Obviously opinions vary and there might be a market.

Interesting but I will never upgrade mine. Too many fail points.

Like I said, check the intake manifold bolt hole angles. If the engine already has an n/a manifold then who cares about the GF? Are you suspecting Chinese knock off heads? If so, buy another block. If the heads are original, then who cares about the stamp?

??? OEM heads are AMG /Detroit Diesel. N/a heads differ slightly from turbo heads. Turbo heads will not accept n/a manifold. The head bolts attaching the intake manifold to the head come in at different angle. You can identify with long bolts. Just place bolts in the intake manifold holes in...

Like others have said and implied, they used your vehicle as a parts car.

If you remove the engine, transmission, transfer case, you have an extremely reliable paper weight. If you replace the power train with a non-standard unit, you create an unreliable vehicle as everything you do will be custom one off.

Excellent. I just missed out on getting the newly unobtainable Shepard setup. I’m in the 220k region with my rig. Maybe not the strongest steering gear, but will be more easily serviced or replaced I guess.

Separating the cooling stack might have unintended consequences. It might allow air to leak in from the hot engine bay rather than from the grill. I think a clean stack is a good stack.

I don’t understand your juggernaut towards a centralized front diff. Everything else sounds good.

On gasoline engines especially if a friend is using crappy oil, yes. My engines all were bought new so Mobil1 from the start and no wash necessary. On my Diesels, unless there is a stuck valve, no.

Why not send to a paint shoppe and get custom graphic painted on the stock grill. Safer. Then get a jeweler to put her birthstone or a diamond on a custom HMMWV key fob.

Is this tool compatible with your blinker assembly system? Does this tool have a users guide? Is this tool 24V compatible, or does it need a power inverter? 😉😜🤪 Great idea. Similar to brake system tools I’ve made. Try using a piece of thick solid steel and drill and thread two screws and...

Ruh rho Shaggie. This thread is so old it’s a g-g-g-g-g-ghooooost. Johnhatem, you should consider sending a PM directly to 86humv. Probably would be faster and more effective. Good luck with your rig!

Snow is the white stuff that sneaks in over the NORTHERN border and not the white powder stuff sneaking in over the Southern border.

Steve/retiredwarhorses is the man to ask about this as he told me he dislikes 400amp units and has converted them to 200amp.

That’s why I asked if anyone here knew of alternatives. Lots of people here have done lots of things. Some worked and some didn’t. 😉

Because some Jeep units are $30

If you have a tranny fluid pressure gauge, bowtie overdrives has a guide. Either that or take to experienced tranny shoppe to adjust for you. If you get this wrong you will blow the tranny.

Seems like this thread has become a bit divisive. Sorry. My point is that spindle nuts can’t be trusted.

Backwards parts. Loose bolts… Ultimately, this proves we can’t trust GovPlanet hubs and spindles. Blue Hummers are a good solution.
