Put a new set of tires on the Humvee yesterday. While I had the tires off I drained the hubs and filled them with fresh oil. One of the tires I got had water in it so I had to take the rim off and vacuum the water out. Also swapped the wheel out for an old one I had in better condition. The...
Looking great!!! Are you going to be able to use factory air intake? I only ask because I have a deep water ford kit and when I do my Cummins swap I want to keep the DWF kit as intact as possible.
Put a new input seal on the front right geared hub. First time I have ever messed with the geared hubs but it’s simple. Took just over an hour including tool clean up and filling it with oil. I made sure to spin the hub a few times while filling it with oil to get all the air bubbles out of the...

In the last couple weeks I have done quite a bit to my M1038. The hardest part was wiring. I had to completely build and replace the main wiring harness coming into the cab. After lot of wire chasing I have lights and everything else in the cab works again. Got all my heater controls unstuck...
