    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    Just for a visual this is factory uncut armada and rear m998 springs. Plus the amount of coil I cut off for rear springs that are installed.

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    It took measurements of front and rear center of wheel to start of fender. and measured the distance from lower A-arm to beginning of upper spring perch. The rear springs are the Armada spring with one coil cut off. I also jacked the front up to approx 24 1/2 to fender and measured the coil...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I researched many options and when I was just about order . I changed my mind from halo to non halo bulbs. The non halo were only 12v.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The ad said humvee H1. The voltage is listed at 12v. I could have sworn it said 24V....I guess that is my bad.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Installed 100.00 LEDs from Amazon. They both popped after only a few seconds on. They also filled with moisture and there is some type of brown gel looking something on the inside of light. Theywent from Chrystal clear to badly clouded in a matter of seconds. Oddly enough the lights do work but...

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    Alright, I'm ready to order the same springs for the front. I haven't driven the humvee enough to tell if the rear should have been cut more to get a lower ride height but the rate is pretty good. The picture shows my fender to ground height both sides. I measured an inch higher after install...

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    I didn't loosen those bolts. I will on front when the time comes! Also if it will settle an inch it should be back at the original ride height based on my brief measurements last night. I did measure before installation but havent been able to park in the exact spot to remeasure. I still have...

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    I installed the springs yesterday evening. This was more of a job than I had expected. The 16.5 spring will not fit the rear. We installed it intact initially. When jacking the lower control it lifted the truck off jackstand before we could reconnect. We removed the spring and cut off one round...

    What are the coolant hoses sizes for an M998?

    You shouldn't have to do all that yourself. I'll volunteer my unit for measurement and provide new hoses to go back on. Just let me know when to drop it off.

    Hmmwv problem starting

    There should be a sticky or pinned post that covers each common hmmwv issue. We have a new owners checklist pinned. Why not a cold weather hard/no start checklist. For example you can still start a hmmwv with failing box of you just know what to look for. My box is failing Wai light will not...

    12v outlet

    This has been fun but...No one told me if fuses would stop the fireworks or fire. If there was enough current to start a fire, melt a wire, etc. would the fuse not blow? To me it sounds the same as making sure positive wiring 12v or 24v is properly fused to prevent fireworks. Will pulling 12v...

    12v outlet

    So far I have been diligent to remove the usb chargers from sockets. I bought a 24v relay but didn't install it. Does anyone have any input concerning the fuse on negative side? I guess Are the fireworks still relevant if all is fused? What is an equalizer?

    12v outlet

    That is good info. I have the 60amp alternator.

    12v outlet

    I post this for my new friend Camo! I added 12v outlets to my m998 the pictures are in the "What have you done today" thread. My question comes from which battery to pull from. I pulled 12v from forward battery, ran positive and negative wires to 12v outlets and fused the positive at battery...

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    Welded style. I cant remeber where, but I read someone mentioned they thought Armada in front would be borderline too soft.

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    I have a M998. I am assuming that my current springs are a little tired. The front isnt too bad but the rear is very stiff. Am I correct in the assumption that I will need a slightly stiffer spring for the front as compared to the rear? If the same rate is ok could I cut armada springs for the...
