Average cost seems to be about 25-35k for a basic M998 with no frills and a soft top. There are a few other variations than the M998 around as well but the M998 is the most common military surplus HMMWV.

Well big thanks to 2002ford for suggesting a way to test the transmission on the M1008. I dont have a transmission issue. Id say Im about 75% ready. Im going to start on the king pins in a bit and that should put me at 95% ready.

Well I did the manual test 2002ford suggested, it works, its just a really soft transition from 2nd-3rd gear. I've also noticed since the new CDR valve has been installed the oil leaks have diminished greatly so far.

Please put me down for two XL in OD if its available, and thanks for doing this for us Vondy.

Id like to say its unbelievable but sadly its completely and totally 100% believable to me. I dont know how a lot of people sleep at night.

New CDR valve is installed. A couple old nasty sceptre mfc cans are finally completely clean and fuel worthy (never trusted a military fuel guage. Cut the old USGI lock off the chain, locked a spare tire to the cargo tiedown in the bed. Getting a road kit assembled (4way, jack, some fluids...

Dont forget to check the fluid level too.

Not necessarily a what I did to it... but rather a what I did for it. Progressive wanted $550+ to insure full coverage (on just theM1008) for 6 months on my M1008 because it was a military vehicle they sold me a liability policy for $60 in February. But I dont like liability only and progressive...

Got a new hex wrench and CDR Valve. Just need to install the valve and use the wrench on the king pins this weekend.

Cookies would be great!

Looks like Gen 2 is working normally, voltmeter is still dead for the moment but Im going to follow the advice of cpf40 (I think I got the screen name right) and disconnect the batteries, disconnect and remove the voltmeter and rig up a couple jumper wires to connect the voltmeter to the...

Well new alternator solved the Gen 2 light issue but voltmeter still says no charging or its inoperable..

Gen 2 lives! Well so far. Now if I can get this tansmission issue sorted out I can take it to the haspin rally.

Grease, grease, and more grease... electrical issues, read all the stickies, read the TM's, and mine has a nasty case of death wobble. Also remember the truck is 20+ years old so expect leaks and rotting hoses. Also make sure the VIN matches whats on the paperwork so you get a title with the...

Theres more than one, and I dont know where all of them are. But I've noticed a few on the inside of the engine bay along the firewall. Basically its a small section of wire thats usually a different color than the wire its in the middle of. For example there is one on the passenger side...

Did a test drive since replacing the vacuum lines, still wont shift into 3rd. Gen 2 light some how started working propperly, but noiw Gen 1 light comes on after start up for a few seconds then shut off, neither one lit up on restart, but that could be because the engine was still warm and wait...

Take a moment to look around the steering components and the axle components for loose parts, cracks around the steering box, and anything thats amiss. My M1008 drove great for two months until I hit a pot hole and felt like the truck was going to tear itself apart with that death wobble. Dont...

Fusible links in the engine bay would be something to check but I'm still learning the electrical system myself.

swbradley, Good to hear you got another one. I may be getting another ATV too, but time will tell.
