    Fuel pump

    Greasing the rod didn’t work on a warm motor. I just used a RTV black on it. Wasn’t a gasket before.

    Fuel pump

    One easy way is to have the bolts on the back plate loose and reach in from the bottom with a bent hack saw blade. Hold the rod back with the blade and slide pump in place. Once all bolts are in and holding good pull the blade and tighten everything. Did it like this on mine a few days ago...

    Tire talk

    Dick Cepek Fun Country tires are great! Not loud and they do excellent in snow, mud and sand. Nitto Mud Grapplers are excellent for anything you put in front of them. They don’t wear very fast but they are LOUD!!!!!!

    Light switch mod for safety

    So instead of being an adult and remembering how to operate your vehicle they just hard wire the lights? That’s hilarious! When a Humvee is to complicated for you to remember how to operate you shouldnt drive!

    Light switch mod for safety

    What is the purpose of this? Is this for if your light switch is burned out or doesn’t work?

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    The lawyer will love his new Humvee that you spent all that time and work on

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    There was a big discussion on registering your vehicle in a state you don’t live in a while back. Sounds like a great idea till you get pulled over and your address on your license and insurance doesn’t match the state where the vehicle supposedly is from and registered.

    Buyer's Regret?

    Do you want to have a conversation at normal volume with your passengers? Don’t get a Humvee. Do you ever need to hurry or speed to get someplace that you are late to? Don’t get a Humvee. Do you like being told by mechanics and parts shops they can’t help you or it will cost a TON? Don’t buy a...

    Water in crankcase

    Whatever you do you need to do it SOON! Now that the water is out of there it will begin to rust extremely fast and it doesn’t take much rust to lock a motor up. When I got my Humvee the intake manifold gasket leaked and would let water into two cylinders on the drivers side when it rained. Had...

    Rear Tire Camber

    I pulled all the shims out on mine and it’s pretty close to straight with a little bit of positive camber still. Made a huge difference in how the tires wear.

    Time your glow plugs

    If mine is not plugged in and has been sitting all night long in 0° to 20° weather my glow plugs usually run for 10 to 12 seconds. Very rarely I will see 15 seconds. If it is plugged in I have to crank it over once then let the glow plugs cycle. The warm coolant from the heater makes the temp...

    M998 Was Alive, But Now Is Dead

    Does it somehow damage stuff to shut the lights/accessories off first? I usually always pull up to the house and shut off my lights and heater fan and let the Humvee run while I gather up my stuff and shut it off as I get out. Is that hard on my S3 box? I just assumed it was letting my battery...

    M998 Was Alive, But Now Is Dead

    I forgot to disconnect my battery one time when messing with the PCB and when I reconnected the plug under the dash it made the inside of my PCB look identical to yours inside! Check to make sure you have 24v at the center hole of the top plug for the PCB. Also make sure you DON’T have 24v at...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Put a new set of tires on the Humvee yesterday. While I had the tires off I drained the hubs and filled them with fresh oil. One of the tires I got had water in it so I had to take the rim off and vacuum the water out. Also swapped the wheel out for an old one I had in better condition. The...
