    I'm pretty sure I've got the Vampire Issue.....

    I am the latest victim of this but luckily I found the issue before tranny damage was done. Felt a slight slip when cold and I checked the fluid and found she was down three quarts. I bypassed the cooler in the transfer case using a bent up "U" shaped section of 3/8" brake line. Had to replace...

    Using house paint. on HMMWV

    I have been very pleased with the performance so far. It is not as hard but easily repaired and my HMMWV and M101A2 are parked outside in the weather. I went with a tad different color as it is a Austrian Pinzgauer green/gray. Mark

    6.5 W/ Over Drive vs 6.2 W/ 3 Speed

    The unit with the overdrive is a 6.5L Turbo Diesel and the reg 6.5 and 6.2 with the 3 speed transmissions are normally aspirated. The Turbo diesel has more horse power and torque and along with the OD transmission can better handle the armored HMMWV and has a higher MPH on the highway. My reg...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Sprayed on the paint and it is holding up very well. The top and the rear curtain is the factory green. Very hard to find BTW. The doors were the factory mil green and then I painted them with the Pinzgauer green. Mark

    Best source for 700R4?

    The 700R4 1st gear 3.06 as opposed to the 3L80 2.48 will make a world of difference starting out. I have a 700r4 IN MY 89 Mazda B2200 Chevy 350 powered truck for over 11 years and have had zero issues with my Jasper tranny. If I was going to really push my HMMWV off road I would stay with the...

    Won Another M1101

    3" Lunette ring is the standard NATO military size. The Europeans have a slightly smaller 2.5" ring. You can pull a US trailer with a European Pintle but it will bang around a bit more and could bind backing up. Mark

    Fuel injector help

    Unfortunately as others have stated when you crack the injector line that keeps the cylinder from firing and the force of that firing load will not be transferred to the connecting rod. I still believe the noise to be a wrist pin knock. It has a "heavy" sound to me and that would be down low in...

    Need headsets to communicate w passengers in 5-ton

    I went with the Flightcom setup and the expansion unit so I have a four man setup. Very simple and works great. I think this being an aviation setup adds to the cool factor. Mark

    Latest Accesory for the M37

    Your M37 is listed as a 1953 model so would not the M1 Garand be the correct rifle? I'm sure the M14 looks great I am just a big fan of the Garand. I own two :) Mark
