    Harris RF-382 Antenna Coupler Mounting Question

    I recently researched the Harris Rf-382 coupler to install in my M-998 and found the tech manual that showed it mounted sideways in the rear cargo area for the M-1114 slant backs. So Yes, The military did install them vertically or horizontally and it appears to make no difference in functionality.

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    More Comm Gear I had been looking for a reasonable Bat antenna As-3588 / GRC-206 for a while and Greg 86humv hooked me up. I got the tall swiss cheese right rear mount from American Milspec. This set up is usually on FAC forward air control hmmwv's. All the pics I have found for the swiss...

    New Member Question: Red and yellow rear placards

    On the 5ton, they were already mounted on a rigid steel plate as they were take offs and I just drilled extra holes and tucked them in front of the mud flap. On my M998, I mounted on thin sheet metal that I got from Home Depot almost like tin and cut them wide at the top so they tucked into the...

    Fram CH6PLfor 003a/002a only $.50 at TSC!!!

    Not true. Try to find a spec diff inbetween their silver and gold product line. Even their wix reps will dance around the question. All come off the same line..... Wix is a world class outfit with Plants around the world. Silver is a lower price point for lube shops, Mom & Pop shops offering a...

    Steering rebuild

    Moog or Dana/Spicer Chassis sold at Napa line code ncp as they also sell a cheaper knock off 2nd brand. On front end parts, you definitely get what you pay for. Store brand or 2nd line usually junk mostly China nowadays. A/1 Cardone for gear box and pumps. World class re-manufacteur with...

    Tires wearing out too fast

    Center tread wearing can also be a radial pull and belt separation of an impending tire going. It would look more uneven and the tire would start to ride and feel very harsh.

    Fram CH6PLfor 003a/002a only $.50 at TSC!!!

    Back in the day we had a display on the counter of 3 cut up oil filters Fram PH8a, Wix/NAPA 1515, and ac delco for ford apps. This filter fits over 20 years from 60-80's + Fram paper pleats were the lowest count and not even uniform of the 3, glued like it was elmeer's and done by a 5 year old...

    Fram CH6PLfor 003a/002a only $.50 at TSC!!!

    I realize it is a great deal but do some research and you will see why no major national automotive parts chain sells fram.....but Walmart, Kmart do...... I sold parts for 20 years and anything is truly better than a cheap retail mass merchandise brand. YMMV

    HMMWV Rollover Crash, Indiana

    My prayers for the families. What struck me was no C-Pillar nor rails. I realize these are just aluminum and not structural what so ever but would be better support than nothing. It could also be they were ripped off in recovery. I also do not see the rear 3 point seat belt reels on the rear...

    Tire Age in Hmmwvs

    Depends on the tire. If it is the Bias Ply originals on 8 bolts, I would definitely take off tires & rims and maybe only use for trailers. Those tires last for ever. I picked up a truck with 4 very flat heavily cracked old bias and just pumped them up to move the truck. They are holding air just...

    Deep water fording kit question

    Neither. Stock oil cap and no line. The crankcase ventilation is controlled by the CDR valve and there is a different one with an additional port for the fording vent.

    LMTV Alternator Disaster, engine now catastophic

    I do not have first hand experience with this motor but I would be very suspicious of mixed metric and sae bolts going into the same block. Metric bolts have numerical hardness stamped on the heads and sae have line patterns on the heads. I would triple check to make sure you have the correct...

    Top speed

    Other members here and g503 do report 70ish numbers with 6.5's and 4 spds. I know the fuel can be turned up on the 6.2l but I have not done so. Others have told me my numbers are much better than their result but I don't know why. I have not looked at the transfer case or differentials to see...
