    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    I wonder if a high strength 3D printed tv bracket would hold up?

    What to do with this 6.5?

    What about a built cummins 4BT or there abouts? Easily outpower the stock 6.5 turbo and in a tiny lightweight package with excellent fuel milage and durability. If my 6.5N/A ever let's go I'm going with a 4 cylinder Cummins with an appropriate Turbo. Mark

    Batteries.... ?

    Nev Never ever have I had batteries last much more than 10 or so years and most would last a lot less. Living in NE with the winters do I real number on batteries. My 2015 Kia tosses a battery every 5 years like clockwork. I had a pair of Hawkers in my M998 and they made it to 11 years...

    CUCV M1028 not reaching operating temperature

    Sounds like a stuck open thermostat. Use a laser temp gun to check the real status not the dash gauge.

    Glow Plug day...

    Glad they all came out easy for you this time as typically that may not the case. What a joy it is to deal with a broken tip off the injector. With a properly working system mine starts up instantly in the cold. Mark Do whatever it takes.

    HMMWV Interior Options (Console, seats ?)

    I cut to fit a one inch thick peice of weighted rubber gym mat. The weight is enough to keep it in place over the whole area between the seats. Made a huge difference in noise and much less heat from the drive train. The have somewhat similar pads at Tractor supply used for horses. Mark

    What batteries do I need

    I highly recommend a Pulse Tech Solargizer 24V if you let the truck sit for an extended period of time. I don't drive my M998 during the winter up here in Massachusetts (rock salt) but I do start it up a few times during the winter. I swear by the little Solargizer. Mark

    M1165 Oil Pressure

    These gauges are notoriously inaccurate. I'm changing mine out for the same reason. Mark
