    M998 GEP 6.5 turbo 4L80 conversion questions

    From what I have read, the 6.5TD won't fit into a 6.2L HMMWV without a body lift. Also, the turbo needs to be a rear mounted unit, not side mounted. This is to allow it to fit between the frame rails. Replacing the transmission with the 4L80 requires a new harness and controller. There is...

    Govplanet HMMWV initial bid set to 5000

    $5K is nothing by comparison... Did you guys see the M1123 HMMWVs from the Marines... They are all starting at $20 - 25K!! They are a bit newer and have the 6.5L engine... but geez! Pricey!!!

    2016 Carlisle Truck Nationals - August 5/6/7

    There was another guy selling Humvees in the vehicle sale area... I didn't find him until the 3rd day, at which time, my phone decided to refuse to function... I only saw one Humvee left, but no one was around to discuss it... But I tried to represent as best I could. My Titan friends were a...

    2016 Carlisle Truck Nationals - August 5/6/7

    The Army had a stand set up to talk to the people and welcome some potential recruits. You could spin the wheel and win a prize or win an opportunity to perform some feat of physical fitness... And if you were a bit too cocky... they increased the number of reps you had to do just to make...

    2016 Carlisle Truck Nationals - August 5/6/7

    Carlisle Truck Nationals 2016 is now history... but there were several MVs representing. Satan's Lil Angel was in full regalia... This 1970 Kaiser took 5 RPGs in Vietnam, explained in full detail in the photos and story. It was quite a humbling experience.

    2016 Carlisle Truck Nationals - August 5/6/7

    Anybody going to the Truck Nats this year? I'll have Dark Night there this year. Anyone is welcome and I've seen several MVs there in past years. Come on out and enjoy a cold one with MVP Titans (a Titan group to which I belong for 10 years) under the tent near the upper entrance! The Galaxy...

    LED Lights for my M998

    So... he just cut the listed price in half? Cuz you asked? Holy markup, Batman!!! It may be a better price, but of unknown quality. About a year ago, I bought door window switches for my toy car on eBay. They seemed ok. Price was decent. I installed them and after about 6 months, one of...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Quieter, Better MPG 6.2 Diesel.

    To clarify, the Diamond Lube website shows that the 14ml bottle is only $100, not $400. But the 14ml bottle isn't what is used for an 8 cylinder engine. That would cost $800 for the vehicle engine treatments. Still, quite a lot... Nano-technology has proven results... but it's not for the weak...

    Hello from PA

    I just got my title on Friday, so I've got to get it registered and plated. Should take about 3 to 4 weeks to get that worked out, but I'd be up for a meet-n-greet! If the plate comes in time, I will be taking it to the Carlisle Truck Nationals on August 5/6/7 if that would interest you.
