Barrman - I merely pointed the OP in the direction of the article, as I have used the correct parts of the information posted on my project... I don't often take the time to put 2 & 2 together as to who the source is for certain info on the 'net, but appreciate your bring up that Tom is the...

GM ran the NV4500 behind the 6.5 motors; but they're kinda spendy and the synthetic fluid isn't cheap. This was the reason for my choice in going with the Spicer Deuce trans - it's a big stupid hammer of a gearbox. This is the article that many people look to for info on installing a Spicer...

True, you could use the SM465, but IIRC - it's a 4 speed without Overdrive - the 3053A has an Overdrive 5th gear that would be more accomodating to the steep stock M715 gearing (unless you regear/swap final drives). And on the 6.x motor, revving it past ~ 2600rpm just wastes fuel - I recall max...

Spicer - I'd use the setup similar to what Juan runs on his M37 (which is the truck I'm SLOWLY working on...) - 3053A behind the GM 6.x motor, use a 6.x standard flywheel, and have Ft Worth Clutch make up a 12" clutch disc with the 3053A spline (10 by 1.5" IIRC?) - I got a quote @ 1 yr ago...

Another option is to use a 6.x motor, combined with a GMC/Chevy C40-C70 bellhousing/adaptor plate and bolt up a Spicer 3053A 5-speed transmission... use 6.x flywheel (not dual mass unit) and have clutch disc made with 10-spline center. This will allow you to keep divorced transfer case. Less...

Don't try to advance the timing to gain power on propane; you'll break something... 'Tanner'

My understanding is that NC is pretty good about registering former mil-vehicles. I don't think that our DOT is issuing trailer-queen or parade permits... 'Tanner'

I've checked the official document called the 'U.S. Constitution': It covers the fact that you have the following three freedoms that are explicitly protected: speech, petition, and assembly. Freedom of Choice is not on the list. T

Titling it legally or questionably? There is mucho info on the Forum dealing with titling questionable HMMWV's -

I'll chime in here... Staff, you're missing the point. Those hack title shops you reference that offer you a 'title' have zip to do with what's occurring in Wisconsin. Undy & the Wisconsin MV folk have a handle on this cluster-f that WisDOT is trying to whiff out of their hind-parts.... What is...

Is this from an Iltis? Interesting, as they weren't exactly legit in the US for road use. And no civvy version was ever sold here... I guess they are allowed in under the DOT/EPA exemptions for vehicles over XX years of age? 'Tanner'

Sorry for delayed response MD, but I believe that they went to the 325/85R16 Michelin XML size that is WAY too big to fit on the Budd rims... http://data3.primeportal.net/apc/jason_taylor/lav_slep_hub/images/lav_slep_hub_2_of_5.jpg 'Tanner'

You'll probably find that the bracket was used on multiple trucks (C/K-series, P-series, etc) over the years that had J-code diesel engine... Tanner

I have used BG 44K on gassers... would probably use BG244 w/o hesitation on any diesel. 'Tanner'

KASCAR will sell you the civvy equivalent parts, but will not sell you 'military parts'. We tried to get a 6.5 water pump for a HMMWV 8-9 years ago; they would not sell to us... the water pump on a HMMWV 6.5 had a cast portion ground off in order to clear a bracket; civvy GM 6.5 pumps had this...

FWIW - you can get a manual valve body setup for the 4L80E to convert it to manual shift... you have to upshift on most conversion kits. 'Tanner'

Bravo... clappity-clappity-clap... 'Tanner'

Hey TH.... nobody is saying anything about ignorance; we all started out less than mechanically inclined & learned along the way! From your description, it sounds as though the insulation is cracked on the wires? 'Tanner'

Hmmm... my guess is OP got a 'smokin' deal' on a M1028... the smokin' part was the wiring harness. Harness probably has been butchered & fragged over the years. 'Tanner'
