I always color outside the lines.
Most of us do.
Depends on on your finances and your ultimate goals.
Buy a new one and keep this for parts or buy a new one and sell the old for parts. Selling stuff offsets expenditures.
Everyone has has a different line. You need to find your own...

I have a 6.2 and it works just fine. There are ways to slightly increase the HP, by slightly increasing fuel delivery and increasing timing BUT if done improperly you will fry your pistons.
If you want more HP, I think you're talking about a 6.5 Turbo.
The 6.5 normally aspirated (n/a) would...
You could make doors out of plywood, and cover with Aluminum sheet or fiberglass or carbon fiber. Buy door handles and door release mechanisms from flea bay. You can even make a fiberglass X pattern and make 1/2 inches fiberglass panels reenforced with wood or aluminum or steel.
Personally I...
Who are all these people and how do I get in touch?
Mouser? Newark? Naomi Wu? DigiKey?
What are the full names?
And I don't mean to sound unthankfull... I thank you one and all.
papakb, you sure this is not a failure of the flasher box?
There is a great way to open a box and gut it and replace with a cheap electronic signal unit that will fit inside the factory box and look like it is stock. Its like 15 clams.
P.S. - I'm not saying you're wrong papakb, but I have...
Why not check each wire and see if OK. A little dielectric grease and a nail to scratch the inside of each contact to expose metal might be all you need.
Then use male and female Packard connectors to terminate the wires and allow re-attachment to the vehicle.
Don't forget to clearly number...
I need resistors and capacitors and 100amp relays and mosfets and such.
Who are the players who sell these, and are there any site sponsors who sell this stuff?
Where is Radio Shack now that I finally grew up and need them?
Your low end will get you off the line quicker and your high end will be reduced with either 4l80E or 700R4.
I'm going 700R4 as I don't want to run an electric tranny controller on my A1. Others will disagree. Toe mato, Tah Mahto.
Gear ratios available on Wikipedia if you want to review.
If you go 700HP Duramax, Allison/Atlas tranny/trans case is a solid choice. For you to stay with a 6.2/6.5 n/a or 6.5 turbo, 4L80E or 700R4 is plenty. Why waste $$$ with an Allison?
With either 4 speed, you'll accelerate off the line just fine.
Remember, Banks was looking for a government...
Went over my spare parts corner.
Bought a used supposedly take-out wiper motor assembly. Problem is when I plugged it in, it worked perfectly. Straight to the spare working parts box!
Bought some u-fix blinker activators/switches. Fixed them and now I have several spare sets.
Bought an...
The Banks unit was meant to give the heavily armored 12K vehicles better acceleration without major changes to the drivetrain. I believe it was supposed to improve 0-60 times to get them to approach 30 seconds.
I can only assume an Allison transmission was used because of the increased...
You can get a pintle to fit a 2 inch receiver and a riser to allow towing with your CUCV. Fleabay and Amaz0n
Love my M1101. Handles great and brakes are awesome.
You might have minor issues insuring and plating a M1102 due to its listed additional capacity, although I have not heard of any...
Over time crap gets into fuel cells. This is worsened because there are bacteria that eat Diesel and can clog filters. This takes years.
HMMWV fuel cell intakes are crappy at best and will allow particulate matter into the fuel cell. The caps get old and can fall off when driving, and that will...
Nah, but yer close. He needs to put the hammock ON TOP of that camper, so he can watch a live NASCAR race in comfort.
Anyway, I hope this works out for him, but I'm worried that the space above the HMMWV roof-line will catch enough air at 50 MPH to lift the camper and make the HMMWV unstable...
When you swapped in the new box, did you disconnect the battery? If not, you might have damaged it. RWH is usually spot on with his diagnoses.
Also, have you tried hitting the starter to see if your solenoid is getting stuck?
Best,
