    Looking at hmmwv for tow rig

    I still wouldn't do it. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should do it...

    Looking at hmmwv for tow rig

    Remind you that you're running half shafts to geared hubs. You snap one locking up the brakes. I hope you have good trailer brakes.

    Looking at hmmwv for tow rig

    LOL SPEED FREAK. You obviously never towed... My 18 "cummins" Is everything but a speed machine. Sure it has numbers, but my wife's Volvo can smoke it at every road condition empty... I'll suggest you keep the cheb with the 4.8, or 5.3. Will be faster then any humvee. More comfortable...

    A few questions about my M-1038

    Do yourself a favor and read the tm's. That will anwser most of your questions. Have you done any pmcs on the truck since you bought it? Check the fluids, check the lock nuts on the hubs. For parts there's Kascar, and some others you can find with a simple Google search.

    Newest project, Hmmwv in PA

    That's robbery. Surplus (Nos)units with out core are that much. There's a place it in Oregon that rebuilds them for 600ish.

    Any Humvee shops / business on here?

    to a certain extent. mil trucks are maintained to a standard and often times a standard that is excelled when PMCS is done by someone with 2 brain cells to rub together... when they break they got fixed (subject to parts availability). Nothing more then fleet maintained vehicles. That said you...

    Newest project, Hmmwv in PA

    find a local heavy diesel shop to rebuild it... shouldn't cost a third of the going price for a new one. I wouldn't advice rebuilding them yourself. they require some special tools. I've resealed older German, and Japanese IP's (the seals degraded from low sulfur fuel), but it's a little more...

    Adding A Turbocharger To A Not Turbocharger 6.5L

    1200 egt's no wonder the size of that intercooler. Small turbocharger too. At that point I wonder if it's best to meth injection. That's a lot of money and a project just to melt your engine imho. Also those are 4 speed trucks they tested. I don't see how adding a turbo can change the gearing...

    That's interesting 113 hp to 178hp. Exhaust brake. They don't post torque or boost numbers.
