    Newest project, Hmmwv in PA

    I don't have the tube on from the manifold to the air cleaner. Would this make a difference with the diesel dripping from the bottom a air filter cannister rubber boot? I also going to look at valve that is behind air cleaner, I think it is some type of one way vent valve, it small and is...

    Oil Pan holes 6.5 turbo

    I haven't picked it up yet, but the pan will be the first thing off. I needed crossover for manifold, dip stick, front pulleys, valve cover, and a few misc. parts, after finding them on different sites and adding shipping and tax, it was easier for me to buy the whole motor.

    6.5 Turbo Diesel w/ crate. Iron planet purchase.

    I just had a 6.5 NA through a machine shop, .20 bore and had to get new heads, so prepared for worst case scenario. Hoping for best, with motor in crate I can take my time and wheel out of the way when bored with it.

    GoDove HMMWV GMV, Anyone get EUC?

    I got a call from K last week, was out of town with no cell or email service. Voicemail stated that there was a name discrepancy between invoice and euc, so they must be making some progress. I posted up some pics from 2 weeks ago, still at trucking company. Someone mentioned that they maybe...

    6.5 Turbo Diesel w/ crate. Iron planet purchase.

    Rolled the dice on this one, need the cross over manifold. Going to try to start in crate. Questions??? Will starter bolt up without bell housing?, I going to remove valve covers check that each valve is moving, then maybe a bleed down test if I can get right gauges. Then a compression test...

    Newest project, Hmmwv in PA

    The valve covers came off and I had two stuck valves. I figured I already sunk 1,500 into a new DB2 IP, lets keep going and ship it to the machine shop. Currently magna fluxed and is bored 30 over, just waiting for an engine kit while the heads are being rebuilt.

    M1025A2's who bought one of the 8

    I got the same email. I bought one from iron planet last year and the EUC was less than 2 months. I thought this time it would be faster. Not the case.

    I made a template for half doors, getting them sheared now from 1/4", I'll make my own full doors to the correct height with the correct hinge, not the soft door hinge.
