    920/916/915 electrical relay, breakers, etc. upgrade

    I would look for something a little better rated. Int. ratings: 10 sec ON, 30 min OFF That isn't all that long to be on for such a long cool off.

    920/916/915 electrical relay, breakers, etc. upgrade

    Nah, I just upgraded and got a better M920... lol Honestly, I still want to redo the electrics, but the truck I have now is in great condition.

    So how much can an M998 HMMWV pull in a pinch?

    You attachment point on the pulled load is far too high. As soon as you try and pull, it is lifting the rear of your 998. And making for even less traction, etc.

    Humvee Run Flat tyres removal

    FYI, pulling runflats is super easy if you have an engine hoist / cherry picker. Just set the legs over each side of the tire and run a chain down from the hoist to the runflat. Make sure it is offset inside the tire (typically needed to get the chain around the runflat itself.) Then just pump...

    top speed

    My M1123 cruises nicely at 70-75 mph on the interstate. As for how fast I've actually gone, 95 mph..... Good thing I didn't have a tach to see what rpms it was turning. (it's my ex's truck now, so that is her issue to worry about now.)

    AM GENERAL Reservoir / Filter, Power Steering Pump_2530014886147

    I had two M1123s. One had the remote and the other was standard. No noticeable difference in steering power or function. Harder to bleed, but a lot easier to get to the remote reservoir for seeing the level and topping off.

    BFGoodrich Baja TA vs Goodyear Wrangler MT?

    I had side by side M1123s that each had new sets (2019 date codes.) MTs and Bajas. I preferred the Bajas, even with the lower lifespan. I do think the MTs actually rode better at interstate speeds than the Bajas did, but there are a lot of other things in play besides just the tire when it comes...

    Flat Towing a M998

    What are you using for a towbar? And longer is better for steering/handling when it comes to a towbar.

    Tow bar

    Yeah, wasn't my first choice, but when you break down on the of the road, you use what you use. Btw, the medium tow bar is rated for 44k short and 13k (I think) fully extended. I have used and towed MANY things with the medium tow bars. I TRUST them. I don't trust the ibis though. Be nice to...
