    6.2 with turbo build in progress

    ... good information, EXCEPT for the miracle 6.2 '100 Horsepower increase with Marine injectors and injection pump'... I'm still waiting for the dyno proof on this setup... well?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g04aCp3ej-I I wish these freakin' myths would die - if adding HP this way worked...

    Saw hmmwv's at NAS Jax DRMO

    Hummer Inc. (division of Old General Motors) sale to Chinese buyers fell through; then GM mothballed the company. Zero connection to AM General HMMWV production, other than the H1 sold through Hummer dealers were built on same line as the M998, then trimmed/completed in second facility. Last...

    5 lug 20"wheel?

    ...xactly! And yet, it hasn't stopped some from mounting them on late-model rims. I question the safety behind it - regardless of the 'fact' that 'it fits'... Tanner

    5 lug 20"wheel?

    Cabell Garbee and I have been discussing this idea for a couple years now... but this would require an annular ring to be machined to make up the difference in the gap between the M37 wheel center OD & the ID of the Deuce/HEMTT rim - my thoughts on this are that you've now got a much heavier...

    5 lug 20"wheel?

    And in reply to your query posted on G741, you CAN use Gama Goat 11-18" NDT rim/tire assys in conjunction with an adaptor plate, BUT the supplies of those tires are drying up (tires for the GG haven't been made in probably 25 years or more), and the option of changing to a modern high profile...

    6.2 Diesel in a M-37?

    I posted a reply to this earlier, but it obviously didn't take... the MB 2.2 4-cylinder diesel in the early 190D was from the OM601-series of motors. Cast iron block & aluminum head. They had issues with blowing headgaskets & warping heads if run hot - I recall seeing quite a few of them at our...

    AZ will not title HMMWVs as of today

    Firstly, I don't call anyone a moron - these people do as they are instructed. And many rules/laws are written because - well, facve it - people are pretty effin' stupid animals.... witness the reason that Preparation H has a note on back stating: 'This product is not to be taken orally'...

    6.2 Diesel in a M-37?

    These folks have a OM61X to Jeep AX15 or NV3550 or NSG370 trans adapter kit - MB202 I believe that they were discussing using the NV4500 for a kit at some point -

    6.2 Diesel in a M-37?

    The problem you hit with the OM616/617 MB diesels is with the front-mounted sump... it wants to share the same space with the front axle & diff - the aluminum upper oil pan is a structural piece & will cause you grief on the swap. The stamped steel lower pan can be mod'd, but the upper 'pan' is...

    6.2 Diesel in a M-37?

    Stock numbers on a civvy 1990 J-code 6.2 that I pulled from a running, driving truck were ~ 145HP & ~260 lb-ft TQ - M37 's will break axles with any engine, even a stock 230... I know a guy with a BB Chevy in one & he's never broken an axle. And I know of a '37 with a 4BT that has broken an...

    6.2 Diesel in a M-37?

    I looked into the 617 ~ 4 years ago, but it didn't have the power I was looking for in an M37 install. I know it's a high-speed diesel (I've had 3 MB OM617 equipped cars) - I've already got all the 6.X/Spicer 3053A/bellhousing/etc., bits - but have access to the diesel stuff as well. I looked...

    6.2 Diesel in a M-37?

    So you're sourcing the kit bits for the swap from one of the Jeep diesel swappers? Using the 4x4labs kit? 'Tanner'

    Custom rims will be required if you want 20" - and keep plenty of axles in stock... 'Tanner'

    His parking brake should be on the T case if he's still running the M37 unit... 'Tanner'

    AZ will not title HMMWVs as of today

    And... misinformation continues being spread. Nader DIDN'T get the Corvair killed; never did, never could. GM had already decided in 1966 to start winding down the Corvair, due to the rise in popularity of the Ford Mustang & the impending arrival in 1967 of Chevrolet's own Camaro. Nader did...
