The 4 speed tranny 4L80E has an electric control box, and setting one up can be a hassle according to some members here. That is why I decided to go with a rebuilt 700R4. 4L80E is very robust, and is what the military chose. Unless the $11k vehicle was rebuilt with an A2 wiring harness...

Buy the A1 truck. Spend $2500-$3500 for a new turbo engine with 4 speed attached tranny, or just spend $1500-$2000 for a new 4 speed tranny with separate control box, or 700R4 truck tranny with 1900 stall speed torque converter for $1000-$2500. I'm finally about to install my 765R4, but my local...

I’m sorry but it’s probably cheaper and more effective to purchase a turbocharged used engine than utilize a turbo not designed for this engine. Are you aware of the space and size constraints peculiar to HMMWV?

???? You can purchase and swap in a turbo engine from the site vendors or have a site vendor do it for you.

I used to regret the whining screaming sound from my passenger side. I then stopped driving my wife in the HMMWV. Sound cancelling headphones just were not enough. I envy you Ajax.

If you know what you're getting you should be OK. This is a high maintenance toy. I love when people say these were built to be reliable and strong and that's why they want one. If you do your repairs and maintenance, you will still be driving a used car. Expect some hiccups and enjoy your...

Yeah MicroJeep, I agree. I thought the title of this thread sounded more like an EPA news headline fueled by tree huggers. I was picturing Starbucks drinking unwashed sandal wearing hippies rioting while carrying signs and chanting about endangered snail darters, polar bears and California...

RWH has more experience with HMMWV's than I do. Listen to him, but I will still give some advice. I would drop the oil pan and look for the seized piston. Should be obvious if you have a cracked cylinder wall. Then press the piston up or cut the cranks, as per both of RWH's suggestions. Gasket...

Make sure your cherry picker is up to the task as that is a great deal of weight and is off center. If you support the tranny you can undo bolts on the bell housing and risk the tranny input shaft. If you do this carefully you will probably be ok. If you pull as one unit, you need to shorten...

Thanks guys

You need to understand the origin of the HMMWV width. In order to create more ground clearance, the engine and transmission and transfer case were elevated. That creates the large hump between left and right seated passengers. Cutting 6" off the width would have rendered the vehicle unusable for...

So, I have a slantback. I have never used the rumbleseat option but it is there... But why? Thanks, T

Sure you don’t just have slotted performance brakes? 😳🤔😧 YIKES!

Beautiful product but I would cover the seatbelts to protect from weather. When you used the chopped mat on the first 2 attempts, did you use a roller between 2 - 3 applications to ensure compaction? When you sandwiched, did you pull vacuum?

Jean, you are quoting a member who left this forum a year ago. You need an experienced exporter, as selling these trucks outside the USA can be a crime unless done through correct channels. Easier to find one for sale in Europe. Finding a good truck for export that costs less than...

Looks like you're missing a large metal washer that sits under the filter if I'm reading the exploded diagram and your pictures correctly.

This is just a bolt in option

I own a slantback. I bought and installed one. It works fine for easy lockable access from outside the vehicle. You need to purchase or fabricate a backing plate.

Behr paint is water based and not identified as cancer causing. CARC is cancer causing. Not sure about Rapco, and jury is not yet out on Xylene. Behr paint is super cheap and as easy as going to your local Home Despot. Your truck, and whatever you chose will work. Please post post-painting...

You should go to the paint and restoration corner of this forum and look up Behr paint and the color codes which are posted there along with a Behr paint thread to show results of painted vehicles.
