I rebuilt one, it isn't too difficult. You can order most everything surplus parts wise. You might as well replace all the seals with new ones while it's apart, or at least check them. Check the ball bearings. Be careful with those threads, it cost me a spindle. Had the learn the hard way...
Excuse the title, I'm on my phone in the truck.
I cant seem to find this particular issue, most threads lead back to a glow plug issue, which I have ruled out. Last week I took the hmmwv to the dunes and beach and ran it pretty hard. Also got some salt on it, which I washed most of it off. A...
Good evening all. I was off roading the m998 today and whilist going through a rut the peddle snapped down. I tried to pull the manual throttle control out just get out of the situation and nothing, completely lose. It appears the throttle link has snapped. Now, this is probably an easy fix I...
I really really wanted to come. But ol girl decided now was the time to blow a glow plug control box and strand me at a cigar bar at 2 am. Next time let me know. She'll be fixed in 2 weeks.

I have one on galveston island that I've owned for a month So far I've been able to fix everything myself. But would be good to have a plan B if something goes very wrong at some point.

Update. After throwing some parts at it because I was getting live wire readings and figured the issue was with the signal box. I got half the problems fixed. After replacing the blinker unit and switch unit under the dash the blinkers now work. I think the signal control was fine. But now I...
Had to work on my power steering first. This I'll work on in the next week or two and will report results. I ordered a new turn signal unit and a new blinker switch.
What am I looking for that they did on that wo. Haven't read that far yet. Just about to do a geared hub check when I get the power steering fixed.
Anyone y'all know of that would want to buy the old unit to rebuild?
I tried taking out the light bulb and it didn't make a difference. However I am sure I don't have an electronic flasher unit. Everything is unupgraded on this except the new led tail lights. Looks like my best bet is to replace the flasher unit and check the turn signal control.
It is acting like there are shorts. But what puzzels me is the turn signals not flashing in the front but lighting up solid, the blackout lights working but not the main tail lights, one rear light working sometimes when it feels like it, but not the other and my wipers work sometimes but not...
that's what came with it so i wasn't aware it was a different ball game. Now I know though and am looking in to it. No bueno as of right now. Thanks again.
So, just trying to get everything worked out. Took the new ride down to other end of the island today to see if there was any issues besides the rear lights problems I'm having. Made it down just fine. At some point around getting down there and heading back I noticed a steady drip. looked under...
Still cant get the left light to work. I don't know how I can ground it any better. Found out hazards and turn signals don't work at all anywhere. Right rear light will light up when break applied. Then go off. But then won't light up again when break is applied after that. These are the new gov...
I found it. thing wasn't hooked up. Still doesn't work. Seems it either has two adjustments. Hooked up or not hooked up. I suppose I could make an adjustment. Alright seems I've got a place to start from. Thanks.
