To be clear I still drive my HMMWV. There is a clear lack of safety and in particular the H1 Hummer has brackets for lack of a better description, to prevent the hood from going through the windshield during a front end collision. The HMMWV does not have the same brackets and also many other...

I've always said these are not good daily drivers because of the lack of safety features. That said, this doesn't seem to be a case of lack of safety features but more a case of Darwinism. I wonder if Alcohol was involved? I can't imagine falling out of a HMMWV sober, with or without a seatbelt.

OK, Which one of you guys owns it??? Speak up!

I'm pretty sure mine says AM General m998

Did you tell them it was an AM General? I had no problem registering mine.

What model truck? Does it have a functional dual voltage alternator? If it's a 3spd and no center tap to the batteries, how would only 1 die? They are wired in series, are they different amperage batteries? You should use a current meter in line and strategically disconnect stuff starting...

I'm not an expert but I believe the TSU with the Yellow band works with Smart Start boxes. There is also a CR-2696A TSU that is also a Yellow band and should work as well.

I can tell you how Maine works. The year of your M998 comes into play. In Maine you need a title for any 1995 and up vehicle. You only need a bill of sale to register in Maine for 1994 and older. If your truck is 1994 or earlier, then it will be no problem. They wont even issue a title for...

Sent you a PM

Having been an admin to a very large forum, I know first hand it's a thankless job and you can never make everyone happy. I only threw in my 2 cents because the guy only has 2 posts in 5 years and they are both in this thread. I hope he becomes a more active member and this is just the start...

Are you planning to ignore the moderator post just above yours? :recovry4x4: LOL

The cable might come out just below the receiver and possibly clear if the ball and mount were removed but it would limit your cable angle to down only. It would not be all that useable IMO. I had the same hitch but have no intention of towing anything so I removed it and went back to just the...

I'm a fan of OEM rebuilt locally but I'd also by a OEM take off before any rebuilt at a auto parts store. I don't trust them anymore from years of experience.

Do you have this manual yet?
