Jeff Symansky at Commercial Tool and Die in Marshall VA does good work and is very familiar with MVs. If that's not too far for you. He did my turbo drivetrain swap. He has a yard full of 5-tons and Deuces, a HMMWV, and many Jeeps offsite. I watched him restore an antique military Jeep while...

Welcome!

Best of luck! I look forward to following your progress. Bulldogger

Any drawings or other information on your new heat setup WhoMe? BDGR

Congratulations on the 4-speed TOBASH and commiserations on the oil cooler. I look forward to your usual excellent documentation on the heater core R/R. Mine needs to be replaced and our rigs are similar vintage. BDGR

For those considering Centramatics, I decided to make the plunge today and did some price searching. Found the next best price (by $1) on HitchSource.com, and they offer a price match, so I asked them about it and instead of the $1.10 difference (delta plus 10%) they gave me a 5% off code...

PayPal left me high and dry with a purchase from a suspect site earlier this year. Was only $30 thankfully. In this case I got a USPS tracking number ishortly after placing the order, and tracking that number showed it was deliverd the day BEFORE I placed the order. PP did not care one whit. BDGR

Their prices seem quite volatile, and not always less than the gougers on eBay and "made of gold" surplus outlets but often lower. It's worth checking their site when sourcing parts, and, as others have said, being very patient on shipping times. BDGR

Sounds good. The vent fix should buy you some time. BDGR

It's a very small inside diameter, so you won't move a lot of air. If you think air is getting through, that should be enough to vent. Probably just a leaking seal then. We've ALL had one, or more. I've replaced three myself (one on my ride and two on TheCaptain's). It's straightforward...

There should be a small black plastic tube (like 1/8" dia.) coming off the top of the hub, headed for the engine bay and ultimately to the air cleaner housing. It tends to get brittle, and can be plugged, cracked, or both. Check it like any other bit of tubing; disconnect and give a blow or...

They re-used my front shaft half and I bought a new rear shaft from AMG. Had to swap the rear U joint off my old rear shaft to use with my older differential (spline count), but it worked ok. https://genuinehumveeparts.com/ (My HMMWV is a 1987, FYI, so plenty of parts on it don't work with...

Well, just now the mechanic says his #2 was in a hurry, and didn't connect the rear battery for 12V before testing. Hallelujah! I may pick her up this weekend. Been there since July... Good, fast, cheap: pick 2. I'll post her up in my old thread when she comes home. I think a 1" lift will...

Yes, it was a torched frame assembly, still bolted on. Had the carrier bearing but rest of front propellor (drive shaft) was cut. Rear shaft also cut. Turbo pipes cut, but half there. Intake missing about half the plumbing. Pretty representative I guess. uShip isn't bad, but be sure to list...

Took a look through my UPS receipts from September. 1250 pounds for 6.5TD, 4L80E and Transfer case on a 4'x8' pallet. I hope you're not sourcing from Global Parts Auto Group. I did. Never again. Bulldogger

Interesting. They told me they checked it, but I don't know if it was hooked up to the battery. I will have the Senior Mech check. Thanks for the t/s guide Coug, I stumbled across it earlier myself. I hope it's not the rectifier or the 12v winding. It would be no surprise, as this TD...

I'm on my second regulator and still not getting 12VDC output. Can anyone tell me if the alternator make BOTH voltages, and needs both regulated, or does it only make 24VDC and the regulator or some other feature in the circuit converts 24V to 12V or something? This is my first dual-voltage...

Looks great Dave. These are like chewing gum you know... I hope you brought enough for everyone? ;) Bulldogger

I mounted my Jerry can in my cargo bed on the left front fender wall. I used stainless carriage bolts and wing nuts (the wing nuts are therefore in the outer fender well ). It does block cargo sometimes, but the wing nuts mean if it really bugs me I can zing off the nuts and pull the frame and...

Welcome to the site. I can't answer as to where to get an affordable replacement muffler, but I did have the same problem. What I did was wire wheel the broken area, and slip a collar on it, cut from a piece of exhaust fitting from the auto parts store. The fitting was chosen such that it...
