If you threw a weight then you will definitely have vibration issues at speed. The rims are no different than any other when it comes to balancing. They do need to be balanced and any competent shop should be able to do it, probably any incompetent one too for that matter. I just got some...

My stock oil pressure gauge has always been on the fritz. At highway speeds it usually reads 25 or 30psi but sometimes zero to five and sometimes places in between. I went over to the auto parts store and bought a 3/4 sweep mechanical oil pressure gauge for cheap money (<$20). I put a T fitting...

FYI what they are shipping is unsafe. Radial tires should not be installed on 8-bolt wheels. They are not strong enough to run the tire pressures that you should run radials at. That's why the 12 and 24 bolt wheels were developed. Max TP on the 8-bolt wheels with bias ply tires is 20psi. Max...

tighten the lug nuts to 90-110 ftlbs

The 7.7K shafts have the thinnest shaft and the boots have four accordion folds. Also, the bearing cups at each end are the smallest and look round. The 10.3K shafts are a little thicker diameter, the boots have maybe twice as many more folds and the bearing cups are bigger but still pretty...

So I figured out the problem: My gauge is DOA. I took a look at the AC signal coming off of the alternator with a scope and it looks fine, both at the stud on the alternator and at the cannon plug on the windshield. I had one of the electrical engineers at work hook the gauge up to a signal...

Yes I read that post. I also have the directions from the kit, but they assume you have a dual voltage alternator with a voltage regulator. Do you know what the signal is supposed to look like coming off the alternator? I could look at it with a scope. Under the cover there are six wires. Three...

Did you ever get the tach working? I just installed one in my humvee but the tach does not register. I am getting +24V at the tach connector on the appropriate pin and ground on the appropriate pin. I don't know what the signal is supposed to look like though. Also, where does the wire lead to...

So I have been looking at my glow plug controller and PCB box... I have a box with a yellow sticker, but it is made by SSI not KDS. It is identical to this one: HMMWV PCB Ignition Control Box Likely INOP! SSI - eBay (item 360141339212 end time Feb-10-11 17:10:24 PST) My glow plug controller...

I am in San Luis Obispo. The truck was in Tulare for a long time, but I found it in SW Colorado, where it was for the past year or two.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I have all the TM's for the m998 series and the up-armored humvee's electronically, so I'm set on that front. I appreciate the offer though. This is a pretty good truck that I've got here. The only major issue seems to be the t-case, which I bet I can get...

I found the glow plug harness tucked under some other wires right there by the controller... Thanks for the help guys. Haven't hooked it up yet because I am troubleshooting some other stuff atm. I've attached some pictures of the truck, and some pictures of the driver foot well. The brake light...

I'll post some more pictures of the truck in the next week or two. I forgot to add: the plate with the HL/H/N/L positions for the t-case shift lever is missing. When I picked up the truck it was in high-lock. I drove it for 75mi on the highway before I figured it out and unlocked it. Augi

I just bought an 86 M-998. Awesome truck! It's been sitting for a long time so I have some work cut out for me. I have found just about everything I need in the various TM's, but I can't seem to figure out what is supposed to be plugged into the open connector in the attached photos. Can...

Spending the weekend in Australia?

Hmmm... that's good to know. Does that retrofit require replacement of the axle or nut?

My dad and I are going to buy a vehicle together so we can go drive around the desert when he visits me in California. He thought they made some without geared hubs but after reading all sorts of forums I have never seen it mentioned. Seeing as all HMMWVs should have them, it makes sense that...

Hi All, Simple question. I'm starting to do research so I can get into the HMMWV game in the near future. Question pertains to military of course, not civvy. Thanks, Augi
