    Oil pump check valve?

    I was wondering if the 6.2 engine oil pump has a check valve to prevent the oil in the galleys from draining back down into the oil pan. I’ve studied the oil routing through the engine but can’t seem to see one on the diagram. Does anyone have any knowledge regarding this?

    Fitting Humvee wheels on M1028

    I cleared 44" tall 11.00-20 NDT's with 5" lift and slight cutting of the front fenders. I used 1" Zero Rates so I also moved the front axle 1" forward.

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Joe - the single most important thing about the 700R4 is correct adjustment of the TV cable. You set this adjustment at the TV bracket with WOT. Also, make sure your accelerator pedal is opening the injector pump to WOT when the pedal is fully depressed. Looking forward to the photos.

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    I'm looking forward to seeing how that 4L80e goes in and performs. Please post plenty of notes and photos to assist other SS members who are contimplating the same install. It seems that you are beginning to think like me. It's only money. Can't take it with you when you are gone. I've...

    Gen 1 & 2 dash lights

    Rick I would be interested in knowing how that can work. It is my understanding that the original design requirement for voltage to run through the GEN 1 & 2 bulbs is a system design, not an alternator design. I'm looking forward to your report.

    Gen 1 & 2 dash lights

    I started this thread because a couple weeks ago I pulled my M1028 out for its annual spin in the snow. After a day of fun, around dusk I headed back to the security and warmth of my facility, and noticed that my headlights were dim and my dash panel lights almost nondiscernable. The truck was...

    Gen 1 & 2 dash lights

    Let me make sure I understand this correctly. If either of the GEN dash bulbs burns out, the alternators will not charge?

    where does this part belong?

    I don’t recall seeing that part during my M1028 rebuild. It kinda looks like it screws to the wall in the bathroom.

    Just so you and others will know, when I clicked on the link, my Norton Internet Security blocked a virus hack. You probably should take that link down. Just my 2 cents.

    NP208 transfer case factory Drive Gear ID

    CORRECTION - I made one small error in calculation, so the correct Driven Gear will be the 37-tooth Red gear, GM part #1359271. Still used with the #25512340 sleeve. Sorry for my error.
