    Pintle extension mounting plates

    I am planning to install a pintle extension on my M998 soon. I am hoping that someone can give me specifications on the dimensions and thickness of the plates. I did some looking around and what I found online only shows one dimension and it shows them being 5/8” thick but I do not think this is...

    Positive Camber

    I have had my M998 for over a year now I have been bolting on heavy parts and plan to have someone align it for me soon. As I recall hen I looked at where the shims go it looks like there are currently no shims in there and I have positive camber. How can camber be adjusted to remove positive...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    you may be able to find a taller pipe thread plug that may have wider threads at the top than your current plug and hope to get it tight and seal as long as it will not contact the internal differential parts. diff cover plugs are usually 3/8" or 1/2 NPT and easily found at hardware stores...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Sounds like you have had a rough time with this. I can tell you what we did here to my personal M998. As I recall there is only 1 bolt on each differential that is preventing the cover from coming off. We took a carbide burr and made some clearance on the caliper bracket for the bolt to come...

    200 AMP Dual Voltage Alternator Help

    I called Neihoff in the spring time trying to understand how the dual voltage regular system works and I was lucky enough to get someone on the phone that explained it well to me. Here is what I remember and this should clear up some other questions asked in this thread. Yes the single yellow...

    Humvee aftermarket Jack

    the OEM type jacks have a round piece made into where they contact inside of the recess in the lower control arms to keep it steady and safe while jacking and it fits under a rear seat to get a tire off the ground in a real world flat tire situation you will most likely need to jack it up by...

    HMMWV Ground Shunt

    I am no expert and I have never researched a ground shunt but I would think it may act like a fuseable link if something were to overload the system or if there was a short large enough to break the metal bars like a fuse. I am pretty sure I have seen something similar used a slow blow fuse. if...

    HMMWV and 2-post lift?

    I put the lift arms on the frame as far forward and rearward spread as possible under the frame which hangs lower than the body. I have a 10k Rotary truck lift with 3 position arms they get really long and 2 verasymetrical Whipp lifts both types lift it without issues. A word of caution be...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The HMMWV uses 1/4 ton axles the same ones used in a Jeep CJ7 and I think some AMC cars from about 76-86 and they are problematic in them. also with all the upgraded A2 add on bumper, bracing and reinforcement plate options I still think it's limited to about 4k towing capacity.Most...

    Battery tray build -Clearance question

    If I were to relocate the batteries on a HMMWV I would put them on the left side of the vehicle if you have ever lifted one of these on a lift that picks them up by the Frame you would understand why its literally nerve racking how much heavier they are on the passenger side with the fuel tank...

    Battery disconnect switch that fits? M998

    I had a similar issue I have the 100 amp alternator. I made what I thought was a good setup and connected a power inverter to run my job site radio and have USB ports. If the power inverter was plugged in even with the its switch in the off position I would get some voltage when turning the...

    Battery disconnect switch that fits? M998

    others put their switches in this area before me but yes living half way between DC and Baltimore anti theft was the main reason for this setup it also saves time when servicing the vehicle. I also have a threaded cap I can put on this to further conceal it. If someone knows what they are doing...

    Battery disconnect switch that fits? M998

    I installed one with a key in front of the shifter area that I got off of the large online auction site. I painted it green. I set mine up to break the ground side using 2/0 wire and used my hydraulic crimping tool. I think it took roughly 2 5' sections of wire which I also wrapped in that...
