Thats basically what i will end up doing as well. I know that a different tire size can effect the outcome as well as gear ratios. So although your set up may not work for me it will get me close. So if you could take some detailed pictures of your build and the part numbers you used that would...
How will you know which switches to buy? Are you going to install an in-line gauge to figure out how much preasure your building up? I am going to be bugging you on this one lol. I finally picked up my 12valve 180 p- pump engine, looking foward to the day when i am able to drive it and have it...
Did your builder tell you how much torque you can put through that transmission? Thats whats going to rip it apart. That transmission stock was only good for about 450lbs of torque which i never understood considering the cummins is at about 420lbs for teh gen 12valve. If you pulled it out of a...
Can anyone tell me where i could find list of what each number means on my wire harness. I have looked through some tm's and have not found anything yet.
Thanks
Your rig looks great, cant wait for that day to come for me lol. So can you actually paint the camo top with rattle can and have it look ok and hold up? Once again your hmmwv looks great. You did a grat job.
Did they make different rims for bias tires versus radial ? Are they the same rim? Any idea what a fair price would be for the 12bolt rim with run flat. Was offered 4 rims with runflats for 250.00. The rims need new o-rings and paint as they are not in the best of shape. Any help would be great...
I myself have not done the conversion as of yet. I have been saving up funds and trying to source parts. The 6bt with the 47rh is what i am going to install though. That tranny requires no computer if you want to use toggle switches or solenoids to control the overdrive and to lock up the...
They all need electrical to control the transmission unless you go manual. Plus they are very heavy transmissions for what you get. The 4bt is a great enine and can make good power but its loud and vibrates more so then its big brother. Not to mention that 4bt's seem to be harder to find and...
Justin,
I think your right, i am just going to jump in and go for it and work things out as i encounter them. I looked at it sitting by my shop the other day and i really need to start working on this summer. Is there a good source for parts on-line? Or is e-bay the way to go? I really dont...
That sounds like a pretty cool project. I would like to see pictures of that build. I have read and look at a couple of deffernt post's on others build which is why i am stoked to try. The only difference is they all look like they know what they are doing lol. I dont have a clue! I am hoping i...
Thinking of trying a conversion here. Anyone know of a 4 or 6 cyl cummins for sale local to WA ST. I might be getting in over my head here, hope you all dont mind if i ask for advice ( often) What would be a fair price you think for an engine as i have no idea and am completly new to the game...
Ed,
That sounds like you got a great deal. Post pictures of any progress you make please. I need motivation to kick mine up the to do list and get started on it this summer. I would really like to find someone local who knows diesel's as i am a complete noob. The plans is to retro fit a...
Can i asked you what you gave for your hmmwv? I have been thinking of selling mine or taking the plunge and taking it down to the frame and rebuilding it with a cummins. Just not sure if i want to commit to another project lol. I will look but i think i have a brand new controler in the box.
Thought I would share a couple of pictures of my future money pit. Have had the m998 for about 5 years and I think it time to start wrenching. Any advice from guys that have been there would great. The transmission went out shortly after I bought the rig and it's been parked ever since just...
I will be up north of Seattle over the weekend or i would stop by. Bremerton is in my back yard basically. However this weekend it's the state rugby championships and i am hoping my son's team goes all the way and brings home a title.
