    Versions of HMMWV Tachometers

    Thanks. Would you happen to know a source for the tach?

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    It sounds like your TV cable is not adjusted correctly. There are many references online about how to correctly adjust it and I recommend that you read as many as you can. Basically you need to temporarily remove the spring on the IP and wedge the throttle in the WOT position with a piece of...

    Versions of HMMWV Tachometers

    Yes the 0 to 3500 buss bar type is what I am interested in. I saw one on Ebay recently but it had a translucent housing so light could enter the sides. Since my application will not have that type of lighting, I was curious to know if the earlier HMMWVs used a tach with a bulb socket. Thanks.

    Versions of HMMWV Tachometers

    I’m in the process of installing a new 6.5 engine in my M1028 CUCV truck, mated to a rebuilt 700R4 transmission. Because the 700R4 will not require vacuum to operate, I have installed a HMMWV oil pump drive in place of the vacuum pump on the rear of the engine valley. Because the oil pump drive...

    700r4/np208 swap

    The 700R4 is the exact same length as the TH400 and will not require driveshaft modification. However the spline count of either component must be changed for them to mate together. I’m installing a completely rebuilt and strengthened 700R4 behind my new 6.5 P400 engine for my M1028 CUCV truck...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Yeah I had to modify my 700R4 cover anyway to clear the P400 girdle and oil pan.

    I’d like see how you plumbed the temporary filter upstream from the 700R4. If I remember correctly, the return line from the radiator is the top fitting. thanks.

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    The 6.5 open plane intake will indeed improve air flow and capacity to the cylinders. Not sure you will need anything else. That’s a clean looking engine!

    6.2L fuel leak

    yeah that’s where I got mine. John Hucksdorf knows his stuff and he is a great guy.

    6.2L fuel leak

    Looks like you need a rebuild of your injection pump. Check all bolts and screws to make sure.

    6.2L fuel leak

    I changed out my fuel line to an -06AN line. I'm using a 6.5FFM but you can run the same line up to the OEM box filter if you choose. I posted details in my rebuild thread - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/kinda-got-carried-away-m1028-rebuild.54469/page-15#post-2222165 Hope this helps.

    Secret for installing a lift pump...

    If you want the original 6.2 / 6.5 HMMWV pump with a vent, it is part #12342893, NSN 2910-01-168-7905.

    Looks to me that you need to drop that pan and clean/reseal it. Regarding the cam seal, I have never replaced one but I believe it comes out/goes in just like a freeze plug.

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Must be a heck of a fence. Why would you consider a Gear Vendors unit over a built 700R4? In my 50-year history of building and modifying 4WD trucks, when comparing the two, I can see many more cons to the Gear Vendors, and many more pros to the 700R4. Just my 2 cents. Respectfully,

    You may need to modify it slightly for the CUCV starter hub to clear. I simply cut mine with a jigsaw and then filed/sanded the edge smooth. Almost looks professional. 😃

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    So, you received a cast aluminum flywheel cover from Bowtie? When I purchased my 700R4 from them, a cover was not included. I purchased one off Ebay but had to modify it to mate to the back of my P400 engine, which has the special girdle. See post #249 of my rebuild thread -...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Installed an oil pan heater on my P400 engine.
