Funny seeing the exhaust exiting through the former intake area. You gotta wonder what the HMMWV smells like when sitting in traffic. Thanks for that post. T

I guess work from the bottom up.... Is your auto tranny shifting past second gear? Are fluids in tranny topped up? Is your transfer case in high? Are your brakes locking up? Is your Ebrake locking up?

Dear Moderators, I have come across some old posts about titling vehicles in other states, and I am worried that this topic may be against forum rules. I have seen several references to not being allowed to post about issues with title. I am confused by what exactly is not permitted, but it...

1987 HMMWV previously titled in another state. The vehicle is new to me. In preparation of getting a title I will be getting the police to inspect the vehicle identification number and confirm this is a 6 digitVIN vehicle. Is there anything else I should do? I am of course worried about...

From what I know: You may need flasher relay(s) that accepts LEDs. Most flashers function once there is an electrical draw. LEDs use such a small amount of current that they are unable to activate a flasher relay. What you need are flasher solenoids that are specifically made to turn on...

Speaking as an auto guy, this is a fools errand. How can you possibly consider placing a military axle designed for 40-50 miles per hour into a vehicle meant to drive upwards of 140? If military issue units were better than what is out there for competition, you would see everyone using...

Ryantee: If sound is an issue there are several things..., but remember this is a Diesel, and a military Diesel at that so it was never meant for creature comforts. LizardSkin-TM is a substance you want to look into. You spray sound deadening and then heat shield over it. If that is not...

As an "old" bodywork and auto-interior guy... Removal of most double sided tape is with either heat gun OR strong dental floss or woven fishing line. A combination of heat and thread helps, followed by removal of adhesive with several adhesive removers on the market that you can buy at...

Thanks Dilvoy: I'll PM you. To everyone else: I never meant for this to become a contentious issue. I feel bad about that. Moderators - Sorry that this became contentious. Feel free to close the thread. To all who answered, thanks. To those offended... I respect your experience with these...

I am not looking for a top end greater than 6o miles per hour. Speed limit out here is 50. I need to be able to accelerate onto the road. A 7000 pound vehicle should have at least 250- 300 Diesel horsepower. I am not interested in any contemporary 4 speed automatic transmissions. If I was...

Everyone knows that these are terrific trucks. I am not trying to "Bubba it up" nor am I trying to make a "Monster truck." Most of the you have been very supportive, but I'm kind of surprised by some of the reactions. Vehicles like these deserve a power plant with more than 190...

Tension your cable and possibly spray wash your car... I don't see the problem. LOL

I was thinking about that but my mechanic friend seems to dislike the idea because he feels diesel engine head swaps are very time intensive. Has many people here swapped 6.2 heads to 6.5 L heads? Where can I read about it?

Thank you for your input. I am not interested in placing a 6.5 turbo in my vehicle because I prefer the 6.2 L engines. I also would prefer to stay away from 4 speed transmissions because the electronics can be a real pain. If I were to switch to a 4 speed tranny I would consider using a 700...

Place your vehicle on the low side of a 5% or less grade, attach the cable to a tree or a post or a fire plug and put the vehicle in neutral and activate the winch.

Either I will have to find a port that I can access or I will need some type of pump. Mechanical pumping assemblies are available, and so are electric assemblies. Most engines have ports that are closed off and can be opened. Other engines have areas that can be drilled and tapped into the...

So, this is my plan: I will need to make custom intake and exhaust manifolds based on the 6. 5 Turbo center mounted HMMWV design, but fitted to the 6.2 to allow for the differences between the heads. I will take measurements. I will have to find someone who does CAD/CAM in the Brooklyn, New...

please explain

I have the intake and exhaust manifold and turbo charger from a 6.5. I am certain there are differences between the heads but cannot use any of these parts? I had a 1987 6.2 L with a TH 400 stock transmission. has anyone undertaken the task of turbo charging a 6.2? Is there are preferred...

You guys are just hysterical!
