Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I went through IP issues last year. I down loaded the stenidyne( hope I spelled it right). Which listed all IP pumps that can be used in Humvee wither 6.2, 6.5, and 6.5t. The IP with the 6.5 is detuned. My original replacement was the pump for the later 6.2. Truck ran fine. In fact better then the detuned pump. Had to replace that one due to bad fuel.( water). Picked up another one that had come out of an uparmored. Ran the number to make sure and was good to go. Funny part my mileage improved, more power. Pump is also used in the FMTV.The bottom of the IP in the M1045A2 sat in water for a few years while the USMC had the truck in longterm storage and was rusted solid. I pulled the IP to swap in a locally sourced replacement.
Then realized the replacement is for a 3 speed truck, not a 6.5 with 4 speed. That is the last time I trust that Active Duty Army mechanic. grrr

So, sending the original IP off to be rebuilt.
That gives me a week or more to focus on prepping the turret parts for installation while the truck is stuck in the garage.

AWEOME and blessed idea to help with teeth, but then it opens you up to the joke:Drove in the Santa Clause Parade. Handed out over 3000 tooth brushes and still ran out before the end of the parade.

My camo M1038 came from the 82nd Airborne with a green one like that.... Now do I leave it green or I'm thinking of painting it flat black or possibly paint it to match camo pattern... Thoughts ?
Okay, I'll take the bait...are you a dentist or friend of a dentist?Drove in the Santa Clause Parade. Handed out over 3000 tooth brushes and still ran out before the end of the parade.
Is it me or does that brush guard need to be removed and flipped 180 ?Won a brush guard on gov planet, got her installed, bolts with lock nuts on bottom and clevis pins on top with hairpin clips, quick pins would have been nice but $40-$60 a pair vs 10 clevis pins for $12.50. Now do I leave it green or I'm thinking of painting it flat black or possibly paint it to match camo pattern... Thoughts ?

Sorry picture does not show the clevis pins, pins arrived today and I must have taken the pic yesterday.
No it's the right way, that's how mine looksIs it me or does that brush guard need to be removed and flipped 180 ?
I think the back is currently facing the front but I could be wrong...

If so, you need to continue the theme by putting a brush guard on your truck.
