    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    Do you mean on 16.5s? Or on 17s? Which brings us back full circle to the thread topic lol.

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    The info we got is that the A0-A1 is the fastest and has a 2:56 ratio. The ECV already has more torque, and we are not talking about some huge increase...going from 70mph to 86mph is about 20%, so definatelly it sounds like a resonable trade since the ECV A1 was meant to carry heavy armor +...

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    The diagram should be for an AMC20 (or I thought it was), which is used in the H1 they say. A brand new one is listed for $4k vs. $1.5k -2k re-manufactured vs. <$300 for just the ring & pinion? But you are saying going lower is not common practice? Maybe because the thinking is that trading...

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    Here it is and if that's the case, can we just pop in/ swap the two gear parts and keep the same bearings and all other parts the same? Between front and back would be $600 + time, a great upgrade IMO?

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    Got it! Yes, Hammer laid out the ratios clearly. Are these differentials like in civilian trucks where it can be configured with different ratios by just changing a few parts like the pinion & ring and keep everything else the same?

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    Please disregard my ignorance as I am not mechanically familiar with the truck, would something like this 2.56 ring & pinion gear set do it or there is more to it? https://www.ebay.com/itm/165102922846?hash=item2670e6ac5e:g:w9YAAOSwu6FhV2PK

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    No idea lol...that's why I am asking here the experts. I would find a place that would send one already programmed and I would send them back some core like the one on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115104862193?hash=item1accc8cff1:g:RAkAAOSwRRNhmepw I would keep mine unmodified in case...

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    Aha! So you engaged the Gravity Boosters aka downhill...I have the same transmission with 6.5L TD and maxed out at the 80mph on the speedometer, but didn't check with the GPS. The transmission shifts smoothly and after it goes into overdrive, it's all high RPMs from there. I will do another...

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    Lol, I secretelly hope however that the answer is not...changing the transmission gears and more like juicing up the engine?

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    Of course they are fake lol and I am sure made in china too, but it's the closest to the stock wheels which I like best, that's why I kept them. I personally don't like anything with holes in the wheel including the Cepek.

    It may not do anything actively, but it gives a place to connect the two open ended vent lines that otherwise are hanging open (I wrapped them until the installation is competed). Yes, the switch will be in the right position for the situation so everything will work as intended. Of course I...

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    I am totally new to the scene with zero previous DIY tire experience and went thru the whole process of investigating getting new 17" wheels vs keeping the 24 bolt paired ones on my truck. The only aftermarket wheel I think looks good on the HMMWV is the Black Rhino Armory, completely closed...

    Bringing back to life a 2009 HMMWV M1165A1 from GovPlanet - total newbie, please help...

    You are exactly right, I ran it for maybe 50 miles. I ordered new CDR valves, first I got a regular one (without DFW) thinking that I don't need the DWF, but then TNDRIVER mentioned that I should install it and I got motivated, and ordered all the parts with the DFW CDR valve. I don't plan...

    Good News! I am sharing all these details in case someone else will ever run into these issues, which will save time (I am not sending you to read the manual :)...but it is useful in the longer run) I removed the air cleaner canister since I was going to replace it because it is missing the...

    It is done on 2008 and newer units without the air pre-cleaner option.

    It's confirmed that indeed the vent tube going up the stack is a factory modification.
