    m998 parking brake on driveline Rod Spring Placement

    That spring just puts a little side tension on the brake rod to keep it form rattling as you drive. With the noise in these things you'd probably never hear it anyway but just clip it to anything it will reach. It's not critical.

    Factory type insulation options

    My advice would be to contact db Engineering at 800nonoise.com or 1-800-666-6473 and speak to them about insulation since they're the people that make it. They did all the replacement panels in my M996A1 and they're perfect!

    Glow Plug “ON” light

    If you use one of the standard military LED lamps like the one in your picture there's no additional resistor required. That's why I didn't add one to the drawing. The military does have splitters for certain applications but there's no place to put one in the glow plug harness so you'll just...

    Do I have a transfer case problem?

    This is sounding more like a shifter adjustment issue.

    Do I have a transfer case problem?

    You always want the engine off when shifting the transfer case to avoid grinding. With the engine off you can go under the truck and manually shift the Tcase into and out of range and lock and then restart the truck to verify the Tcase. If it moves that way you have a shifter problem. If it...

    What is the funny hold in rear passenger wheel well used for?

    That hole can be used for many things as mentioned depending on which of the large grommets you use. There are large and small hole grommets for either battery cables or antenna coax and multiple hole grommets if you need to pass both sizes thru the panel. Since the trucks aren't meant to be...

    M998 2 man questions

    If the dealer will supply it registered with plates it's a fair price in todays market. Not all that great, but OK based on what people are paying for them in the marketplace today. Make sure you can get it registered in your state before you buy it.

    Radio mount for HMMWV GMV

    I like the power box but think I'd have swapped one of the cigarette lighter sockets for a dual USB charger port. Nice setup!

    Installing 12 volt accessories into 24 volt systems

    A little addendum here. Any time you install electrical/electronic devices in a vehicle you want to include either fuses or circuit breakers for protection and those fuses/breakers need to be rated to handle the current your devices are going to draw PLUS another 10-20% as a safety margin...

    Control Box Schematics

    I originally posted this as a reply on another posting and I don't think it was getting the visibility it needed. I think this would be an excellant forum to get this information out to the group so that we could possibly develope a decent final design. Lord knows, Uncle hasn't been able to...

    M998 Was Alive, But Now Is Dead

    Speaking of schematics, has anyone ever come across real, full schematics for any of the boxes? The manuals are only vague about them and the diagrams are only representative of the signals in and out of them. There's been a lot of reverse engineering done on the different models but I don't...

    Radio questions

    CST, Keep in mind that to use the transmitter in your ASIP you should have an FCC license and legally that limits you to the 50-54 Mhz frequency, 6 meter amateur band. A license isn't hard to get now that there's no Morse Code requirement and a few evenings of reading one of the many available...

    M998 Starter installation

    I'm an old man that's probably done half a dozen of these over the years and have always just lifted it up and rotated it over the frame by hand. There is no easy way that I know of, just bite the bullet and shove it in! :grd: Like Jack Kennedy said: "We chose to drive HMMWVs not because it...
