    Does anyone know what this is?

    That looks like a driveshaft from one of the many different MRAP vehicles.

    Hmmwv 6.5l purchased, turns out to be a 6.2l

    If you decide to swap in a 4L80E, with a 6.5, you won't have to tear off the front of the engine to install timing cover and timing chain/sprockets so you have the standard place to attach your engine RPM sonsor too.

    Turret Bearing Support Needed for hard top roof?

    That top won't fit down over a standard B Pillar. You need to chop off a bit of the outer part of the corners and then weld on some flat plates to bring the strength back into the pillar or modify the inner part of the top in that area. A windshield for a hard to with the vents in the bottom so...

    Brake Light Issue

    The Humvee is one of the M Series Vehicles that share turn signal systems, head lamp assys, tail light assys, front marker assys, light switch assy and probably some other things.

    1993 3L80 Transmission Filter Change (bolt loose to filter) Correct or not?

    Does the hole in the pickup/filter have an enlongated hole to allow it to float up and down along the thick shank of this bolt that you are speaking of?

    X-door Supplemental Armor glass?

    You can go to a glass shop with a sample of what you have and have them make or order a new laminated window with both parts being glass instead of glass/polycarbonate. The delamination happens because of the two different materials. Glass with glass will last much longer and if you tape around...

    Bogert jack, storage location??

    These jacks came out for use on the ECV and REV Humvees and both of those have a strong partition behind the passenger compartment so no need to worry about the jack as long as it is in the rear compartment.

    Swapping in the New A2 style HMMWV fuel tank

    The new tank should have the baffle glued in place on the bottom of the fuel tank. From memory, it is rectangular or square white plastic with holes.

    Bogert jack, storage location??

    The Jacks are stowed in a very heavy duty bag with a zipper and strong straps for carrying.

    Insulation over heater box ?

    The right front floor mat starts at the front edge of the battery box then extends forward and climbs up and is trapped in place by the heater box assy. That's why when you see a photo of one, it is so long and has those rectangular slots cut into it.

    Humvee Brakes Locking Up

    Few Humvees in civilian hands have rubber brake lines and yes, many master cylinders will bolt onto a hydroboost. The adjustment of the rod in relation to the socked that is in the back of the piston assy is critical. Yes you can mix and match parts, but you need to know what makes the system...

    Humvee Brakes Locking Up

    You must have done some work to the hydroboost or the brake master cylinder or both, because what you have is a master cylinder piston that is not returning far enough for the fluid in the brake lines to re enter the master cylinder after you let off the brakes. Might be a bunch of crud in the...

    Differential Output Seals/Bearings?

    The Bearing is just pressed into the aluminum case. Once you take the brakes out of the way and remove the large nut that holds the output flange in place, you can get to the two bolts that hold the vertical support for the diff. Then you have to decide if you want to drop the diff or remove the...

    Has anyone converted a 6.2 into a turbo charged unit?

    With a complete Turbo take out engine assy with all pulleys less generator and with a cut turbo housing advertised for $3,800 and probably plus shipping it is getting more and more difficult to justify a turbo swap onto a 6.2 even if you are still OK with the three speed trans. The turbo engines...

    Has anyone converted a 6.2 into a turbo charged unit?

    Just turning up the fuel rate may not be good enough for more power and efficient fuel burn, because the turbo 6.5's use a different set of injectors. Will the turbo injectors function with your injector pump at whatever rate you turn it up too? What do you think will happen to the timing of...

    Has anyone converted a 6.2 into a turbo charged unit?

    Wow, Only five hundred dollars! That's is amazing. How are you raising the fuel rate, just turning in the fuel screw or having the injector pump modified to some sort of turbo spec by a rebuilder? I'd copy a good home made setup if that was what the parts and pump modification cost. Is anyone...

    Has anyone converted a 6.2 into a turbo charged unit?

    OK, So fifteen years ago it may have been the thing to add a home brew turbo to the 6.2 in a Humvee, but now with the availability of excellent low mile take out turbo power packs with the four speed trans, NP242 and even the NP2225 transfer cases for six thousand dollars and free shipping, who...
