    Generator-battery indicator pegged for few minutes, then jump into green range

    Both of those kits should be the same. Whatever comes out to be the preferred price or seller to you is what you should go with. It gives you 99% of the parts you need to installed a 200A Niehoff alternator in a single voltage configuration. You need to provide your own N1225-1 alternator...

    M998 60 Amp to 200 Amp Alt upgrade?

    I made this same mistake and I've been trying to correct every copy of that mistake I've written on here so as not to mislead anyone. It will NOT work. The pulley shaft is too small and the pulley you try to install will have too much play. That without getting into anything with its actual...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Successfully registered for road use. Took three phone calls due to some confusion over a new law that took place in Indiana on January 1st (historic military vehicle law). Funny enough, the BMV half-jokingly offered me a job for how well I knew their rules and policies, down to the point of...

    Financing through GP

    I'm the fool that took out a small cash loan to finance a HMMWV, but I did it through my credit union that I've been a member with for several years and have financed other vehicles. I did it because I had already determined the criteria of exactly what I wanted, how much I was willing to spend...

    What does the Trans Kick down solenoid do?

    Oh good, you guys found the same bits of information that I did and was just about to report in. According to bangshift.com, the THM400 has two kickdown mechanisms: vacuum based and solenoid based. The vacuum system is for kickdown at speeds below 30 MPH. Anything over requires the actuation...

    Torsen Question

    Very cool subject to read into. The T1 and T2 differentials are incompatible, but it looks like thanks to ABS existing in the Hummer H1, we might have off-the-shelf parts to make this possible. The H1 through 1998 should have been without ABS and used the standard T1 differential that the...

    HMMWV accessory AC power

    Well, nobody is forcing you to actually use the slave plug for the Quiet Power system. You can simply open up the housing for the slave plug, unbolt the two leads, slide them out, and then route them into the battery box to be hard wired. ...and then you could mail the unneeded slave plug to...

    Constant running fan.

    So it sounds like what a couple of the guys here were saying... You could see the hydraulic system move the fan in an out, so the hydraulics were working. Therefore, it was a clutch assembly problem. There was a suggestion to do something to break it free, like hook an air line up to it or...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Reinstalled the clutch fan with Its quick release and tensioned the alternator belts. Also put in the dipstick tube for the transmission. Rest of the trans cooler stuff comes in whenever Mac Motors delivers. Found a large fleet shop that's going to modify both prop shafts for about $110...

    6.5L GEP Engine Valley Drain

    Thanks guys. Found it. For some reason, I wasn't letting myself find it on the vertical wall. I was so fixated on expecting it to be on the horizontal floor that I couldn't find it. Now that I know its diameter, I'll have to scrounge up some kind of wire or pipe cleaner.

    M998 dome light suggestions

    I haven't done anything yet, but I do know for a sort-of authenticity sake, I'd want my map light to be wired to be compliant with the master light switch. As in, it can't be on unless the MLS is in a position to allow the interior lights to be on. I kind of love having that sort-of master...

    Broke halfshaft in the field. Options please...

    At the top of this page (and every page on this site) is a link that says "Technical Manuals." I followed it to this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?78861-TM-s-for-the-M998-series -34P was shorthand for TM 9-2320-280-34P, so sorry about that confusion. As well, to be fair...

    6.5L GEP Engine Valley Drain

    Alright, so I had this described to me once before, but I'm not seeing one on my block, nor have I found a picture of one online or in a manual to know exactly what I'm looking for. If anyone could help me locate a drain line location for the engine valley, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm real...

    Broke halfshaft in the field. Options please...

    Get the -34P parts manual from the Technical Manual section at the top of this page. Be sure to read the introduction at the beginning of it that explains what the UOCs are (Use-On Code), which will tell you what code corresponds to what HMMWV (A13, H13, MMM, NNN, etc...). The A1 HMMWVs should...

    Show Me Your Campers!

    Exactly the style I'll be going for. I want to take an M1101 trailer and not alter it, but will use it by building completely removable, deployable fixtures to drop into the trailer. My only real baseline tenants to it is that it needs to be rain resistant, anything sensitive is secured in a...

    New Member & New Truck

    Your voltage is definitely not regulated properly...I wouldn't run it until you get that fixed. At the least, it's the regulator. At the worst, it's the alternator itself. Sounds like you've already got one on the way to replace it all. Your wheels are not driven by U-joints; your wheels use...

    2017 Findlay buy sell trade

    I've got an NP218 transfer case that appears to be rebuilt, judging by tags that were in its crate. It was painted green at some point. I never installed it or tested it, but all the output shafts do turn when the input shaft is turned by hand without any gritty feeling or harsh noise... I'd...

    New Member & New Truck

    Really, the new hubs don't do that? I'm actually very interested in that down the line, then. I don't need the extra strength or necessary the supposed noise reduction, but the rocking I'd like to be without...

    Deep water fording kit, fender A/C kit, hard top, and four hard doors coming to an eBay store near you! EDIT: But I do feel bad for you Ohio guys...anyone with a tan HMMWV is going to get the cops called on them... a lot. ****, probably everyone with a HMMWV out that was is going to be visited...

    6.5 L engine turbo?

    I agree with this as well! The TMs are more explicit and more straight-forward-very much able to tell you exactly how to do a job and what jobs must be done. The posts on here range from anecdotal to indisposable. They reflect experience and just as you said: will indicate to you what...
