    Need help understanding the HMMWV cooling circuit

    Man I'm confused. It sounds like it is working properly. It's loud for a second at startup, runs, gets warm, then needs to run based on engine demand. I can run mine on flat ground and it will run rarely, go up a long mountain grade and it will cycle often. Hotter weather more often cooler...

    Need help understanding the HMMWV cooling circuit

    I had cooling fan that ran all the time. Previous owner had bypassed the Cadillac valve. I ordered Cadillac valve and temp sensor. Installed them both properly. Fan would disengage one time from cold start and them come on and not go off. I was about to start looking into the clutch fan for...

    OEM insulation

    Thank you sir for the info. Looking at the picture pretty closely I don't know if that would work in my 998 as it has a storage compartment that I believe is riveted in. Well it could work I just might have to trim on it which wouldn't bother me at all. Thanks again.

    OEM insulation

    I guess that is why I couldn't find it anywhere. Do you know if the pad from a later model will fit and if so what variant/model would I be looking for? Thanks for the vent info. I'll try to get it unstuck.

    OEM insulation

    I have a 4 man soft top. It is missing the insulation on the passenger rear tunnel. Can Anyone tell if this is it from this Ebay ad: https://www.ebay.com/itm/302510015134?hash=item466f00829e:g:o0YAAOSwDFBZ-e4i Also, it has painted plywood in 2 pieces that go between the front and rear seats...

    Starter solenoid issues

    I was told by my local starter shop none of the repair parts were available for starters or alternators. Do you guys know of a source? I have a brand new starter that I had purchased only to realize later it was a loose safety switch. If I could find the rebuild parts I would go that route when...

    M998 6.2, 3 speed trans adjusting questions

    Had time to work on the humvee. Turns out the throttle cable was poorly adjusted. The kickdown switch was not activating at wide open throttle. All that was necessary was to adjust out the slack. That allowed the throttle to be opened fully by the pedal. Its runs like a new unit! I might adjust...

    Please help settle an argument over tire size

    The 37" with run flats are effectively a smaller diameter tire when running flat. Even more if tire shreds itself and runs on runflat only.

    Starter solenoid issues

    Just throwing this out, but I thought my starter was going bad. Sometimes just wouldn't work, sometimes would work normal. Turns out the one of the switches in shift/parking brake safety is getting old. I have to pull my t case shifter slightly towards driver side(or wiggle around a little) to...

    M998 6.2, 3 speed trans adjusting questions

    Yes I am aware. Like mentioned earlier when shifting manually at part throttle it accelerates as to be expected for 180hp. I'm inly looking to change the shift points.

    M998 6.2, 3 speed trans adjusting questions

    My M998 shifts the same regardless of throttle position. It barely gets moving before it shifts into 2nd and then shifts into 3rd fairly quick. It will not downshift from pedal input. It will downshift when slowing to a stop as one would assume a properly operating trans should. When...

    Max Vehicle Operating Speeds

    I don't drive the truck in second gear. I live in a mountain area. I will often manually downshift to second when climbing hills. The trans doesn't want to downshift unless I have it to the floor and it is still slow to shift.

    Max Vehicle Operating Speeds

    I know why I was confused by the placard. After playing closer attention to the motor it will reach the speeds listed. I was mistaking fan noise for engine revs. My cooling fan is always on. The previous owner by passed the Cadillac valve and connected the two hoses from pump together. Now im...

    Max Vehicle Operating Speeds

    I was reading the placard for M998 6.2/3 speed. It says in High range max speed in 2nd gear is 45mph. How can that be anywhere near accurate? When driving I'm afraid to hold second past 33ish. Am I missing something?
