    Can you put smaller tires on the Roxor? That may be the easiest way to slow her speed down. Mark

    Ballistic windshield wiper extensions

    Yes, heat and penetrating oil may do the trick. Also some love taps with a hammer may help break it free. Good luck, Mark

    Rhinolift Tire Carrier for a M1045A2?

    I was thinking the same thing but if they are selling these things then why not list them all since they will all bolt on to the airlift bumper. On another note I can't believe how much the prices have gone up on these parts in the last few years. Matk

    Rhinolift Tire Carrier for a M1045A2?

    Hell the M998s are not even on that list. I have to wonder what is holding up my spare tire on my M998. Mark

    Reuse head gasket if not run yet

    As others have stated. If it were me I would reuse the gasket (new one not readily avail) . I would spay a coating of Permatex Copper High Temperature Spray-A-Gasket on both sides of the head gasket. I would torque the head down to 5 lbs more than spec to re-seat the flame ring. Should be fine...

    M37 Engine Swap with M151 Engine

    A 292 stovbolt is a downgrade from the 251 flathead? Downgrade in what way? Purest? I sure see that and agree most times with that but on power and longevity? I don't see your point. Mark

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I agree the stock X doors really fit the looks of the truck. I have thought about putting some bed coating on the inside of my X doors to insulate them a bit and make them quieter. They sure are much quieter as is compared to my old soft doors. Mark

    M37 Engine Swap with M151 Engine

    An old 292 chevy stright six stove bolt engine would be a nice upgrade and it would give you a good boost in power. Just my .02 cents. Mark

    Who all keeps the runflats

    If you remove the run flats and have a blowout the tire will drop a great deal and can cause a bit of stress. Mark

    I think my head gasket failed

    They have a coolant test kit at Autozone that tests for combustion gasses in the coolant. Mark

    Armored Humvees Powertrain

    One motor I really like is the old 4-53T two cycle Detroit. A little noisy but a great motor and unfortunately the rpm band is no good for the HMMWV. Mark

    Towing 30k lbs?

    Yeah you need a 5 ton for that. You need big weight and big power to pull 40k around town. Mark

    I think my head gasket failed

    Is the fluid brown in the overflow tank? Does not sound good. I really hate those torque to yield bolts. Good luck. Mark

    Armored Humvees Powertrain

    The 4BT is a great motor capable of good power for its size. One thing on the 4BT is it is NOT a smooth engine at all This can be rectified with a fluid damper harmonic balancer. Can put out more power easily over the 6.5. Mark

    Armored Humvees Powertrain

    The fully armored Humvees with the 6.5 turbo can't get out of their own way. Look into the 6BT 12 valve as it is capable of far more power and much more longevity. The Duramax would also be a great choice. They are much better power options for a heavier vechicle. Just my 02 cents but I'm...

    Batteries

    I've had luck with the smart chargers below. One amp charge and a minimal float charge when the battery is fully charge. I use these for my car trailer for a car with two batteries and two motorcycle batteries. My trailer has a solar system (150w) and four mismatched car batteries. I wanted...

    Can anyone tell me

    And 5 or six years ago the HMMWVs could be had at a far better price and in better shape than most of the gear they are releasing now. Mark
