Very interested to see how it goes. BDGR

A few have done it, certainly https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/6-2-diesel-to-454-big-block-gas-burner-swap.158781/ I just realized that's in the CUCV, there are several of those threads. I'll search again. I know it's been done.

Thanks badgerd, I will keep it in mind. I double checked my meager fixes, all wiring, and then reconnected the batteries and she fired right up and performed the glow cycle without issue. Several other maintenance items to perform, but glad the flashing light went away. BDGR

Well, another go with my big Channel lock pliers and it won't budge. I am going to have to shore it up best I can and when the time comes it HAS to come apart a saw will be involved I fear. RWH, you are spot on, the bolts were tight but the threads are not down the entire length so they stop...

Not sure if we'll make it. A dear friend told us to save the date for a wedding. Once they settle on the schedule of events, we might could make it down for a day or two, I hope. BDGR

Thanks. I hit it with PB that night. I'll give it one more try today before I try anything else. BDGR

I was tracking down a flashing Wait light and figured out it was the grounding wire to my Nartron box. What happened is the rubber mounts for the box had crumbled and then let the bolts slack up. I intended to remove the box (batteries disconnected of course) and add rubber bushings all...

I haven't tried it in the HMMWV yet, but for boot repairs and fabric/foam stuff I use Barges contact cement. STRONG stuff. Good old fashioned grip and won't let go. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001YHL5BG/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_ADJPNBGHSGXTKYSQ0GMK Bulldogger

I just sold my wife's car and got a second mortgage on our house to buy a sick Humvee I saw on Gov Planet this afternoon. Can't wait to surprise my wife with it. What do I need to know about Humvees?

A lot of writing about ways to boost power here, but I didn't se mention of any potential faults for lower power. I'll offer that my HMMWV 6.2L had lower power when hot than initial startup. I'm certain it was low compression, as that motor had been badly abused by the ANG before I saved it...

Welcome from Woodbridge! Bulldogger

Metal printing is extremely expensive. Plastics are decidedly more affordable. If you have some hundreds of dollars, there are some good machines like Prusa or Creality and so on. If you have a few thousand, there are some pro-sumer brands like CreatBot (which I have) and if you hane $20,000...

I have a soft top made by Breton. Bought it last year, didn't have any trouble. Was only backordered a month. Probably helped that I wanted OD green, as they seemed to never have black or camo in stock. It is a bit saggy, but water tight and well made. I tried to offer them my HMMWV soft...

Interesting finds Springer1981, and these give some further background to claims others have made about getting more than one bad fan clutch in a row. Apparently this situation of bad bearings is not all that uncommon! BDGR

She's gorgeous! Congratulations. Now, um, what about the 151's and other goodies? Any indication he might sell others off? Green metal disease addicts want to know. Mansfield is only about 4.5 hours straight North for me... Unrelated question for the group, will two demilled 151 halves...

Does sound like a regulator. I had the end plate type on my 60A. It wasn't hard to replace and I did it without removing the alt from the motor. DO DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES FIRST, if you decide to replace the regulator. BUT you should definitely double check all wires, including the exterior...

There are a few haulers on Facebook as well. Can't speak about any of them personally though. BDGR

Glad you caught it TOBASH. Good advice for anyone. I checked my spindles when I got mine from the National Guard. No loose nuts but one bearing was rusted and would have failed in time. BDGR

Cool! Remember folks, to alert mods to tag threads to be moved and seed the new forums with interest and info. BDGR
