" 6 " on the bridge plate indicates the truck is empty, and can go over bridges with the same or lower number. " 8 " indicates the Duece is fully loaded, and obviously cannot go over a bridge with a number less than 8 posted on it. I am assuming that the numbers refer to tonnage. Ie, 6 = 6 Tons...

6TL Batteries and 6TMF Batteries; Is there a difference? I have 6TL batts in my duece, and want to replace 6TMF batts in the M998 HMMWV. Too make things easier, I just assume use the 6TL batts because I have a local source. Visa versa, if the Duece can take the 6TMF batts, then I would like to...

Gov't agency.

Here are a few pics. I had an a issue the other day with it not starting, and suspect the Nuetral Safety Switch may need to be replaced. A jiggle of the tranny lever got it going, but then it happened again, and no jiggling has helped. Turns out that this '87 M998 last was assigned as...

I agree that Kascar is pricey, but they do have genuine USGI parts for the HMMWV. It is a good source to get the correct part if you are trying to remain prototypical. Your new truck looks great! Good Luck with it.

Thanks guys. I found out from the DLA, that the only numbers are the 6 digits on the data plate. I got 'em!

I picked up an Up-Armored side & rear M998 yesterday at Ft. Dix. I'm looking for information on where to locate the VIN? The M998 dataplate is barely readable. Would it be stamped on the frame like much like a duece? I am a Duece guy and know the M35 intimately, but this is new, and so requires...

I have a GMA cab tarpaulin, but I recently saw at the Sussex, NJ show a different brand, made by Bretton Industries in upsate NY. I know Bretton, becasue I had bought Fuel Can bracket starps from them a couple years ago. They are a current military contractor, and if I remember correctly, their...

They look great once they get their fresh coats. Just keep up with the weathering and she'll stay beautiful.

I paid 135.00 a piece for my 6TLs and that was straight from the Interstate warehouse. That number may be a wholesale price, from my mechanic though. Go to your local garage, that carries Interstate, and have the owner call up his supplier, and tell him to order the batts. They'll be on the next...

What about support issues with parts and repair? Obviously there are tons of surplus parts around for the duece and such, but the HMMWV is more electronic than mechanical, and AM Gen, clearly states they don't support the vehicle outside the DOD, so how does the job handle this?

I had the same issue. It was the grounding strap that holds the flasher lever to the steering wheel shaft. Make sure it is on bare metal & tight. Also, on a side note, I bought my Grote LEDs direct, after a long conversation with their Military Sales Rep. It seems that the original Grote LEDs...

Were the VC-25As 28000 or 29000? Or only other VIPs?

Taken yesterday, 27 APR 2012, on Reed Street, Brooklyn, as Boeing 747-100SCA (Shuttle Carrier Aircraft) N905NA, ferried Space Shuttle Enterprise on her back over NY Harbor. What a sight!!!

I replaced my whole panel with an A3 one, and got the extra dash light AND the low air light. I then changed out hte lens to add some color to the dash. Because the panel was already stenciled, I didn't need the Sticker.

Without having seen too many, I imagine then, that the A3 wheels are not split rim? Are they bead lock, similar to the Hemitt you are currently running? If I remember correctly, they are really designed for a 1400 tire. Will they fit the more narrow 1100 tires? What about the mounting. Exact...

The round plug is a 7 pin Pollak RV type plug that is pretty much the standard round trailer plug found on most modern civi trucks, other than the 4 pin flat that everyone uses on boat trailers and such. GM, Dodge, Ford. I just spliced in the 12 pin receptacle to accomodate the 12 pin NATO on...
