    M988 upgrade to M1045A2? Is it worth it?

    The question is do you NEED any of the updates? Do you NEED 12K shafts? Have you broken any of the ones you have now? I have a M998 and I NEED a 4 speed. Although I have no intention of driving it on a highway I do want to be able to drive on primary roads that have 55 mph speed limits...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Then I took the "good working" used pull apart and found the same caged roller bearing was not pressed in far enough and the seal was doing nothing. But at least it had been greased and was in good condition.. I was able to seat the bearing correctly. Then cleaned and regreased the caged...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Moving on, as I mentioned in a previous post I was having a difficult time getting the fan clutch to line up the bolts holes to remove the clutch from the water pump pulley. I applied 150 PSI and the clutch wouldn't release. I made a puller of sorts to release the clutch and that didn't work...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    The seller sent me a "New" compressor. This time as soon as I received it I opened the box and checked. Much to my disappointment it too was damaged and had a bent pulley!!! I took a picture and sent it immediately and in my haste I texted him asking if he had bought a bunch of junk surplus...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Update on AC compressor. I bought a Red Dot (Sanden) AC compressor on epay. "New" in the box surplus. It had a clear dent on the pulley from an obvious drop. I didn't notice it until after I mounted the compressor and spun the pulley. I contacted the seller and explained the issue and he...

    Red Dot AC relocation

    I am in the process of installing one in a 2 man hardtop Avenger unit. I completely disassembled my evaporator unit to clean, repaint and custom mount. With the required components in the evaporator, the blower motor, coils, electronics, etc, I don't think you could put it in the turbo dog...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Buttoned up the tail lights and rear side markers today. Painted and mounted a tach. I looked at numerous locations for mounting. I decided I like a lower mount rather than off the top of the windshield.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    2 steps forward and 2 steps back. Got the clutch off, destroyed it doing it. Replaced the water pump pulley with a 5 groove (arrow 2). All new belts, it needed them. Got the AC Compressor mounted (arrow 1) and found a flat spot on the pulley. Turns out it was dropped at some point prior to...

    My Restored HMMWV

    Mine won't ever be "restored" for 1 simple reason, they won't let me have the SAM missile launcher :D One mistake I made was selling the original HMMWV wheels and tires when I put the H2 wheels and 17" tires on. I'll probably end up finding a set at some point and having them for off road...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Had a delivery today. Still have to figure out how to get the fan clutch off before I start messing with the rest of the AC. That's a project for tomorrow.

    Buying first humvee

    I think GovPlanet does a great job with pictures and video that you likely won't get in a private sale. That said, good luck finding a private sale for less than $15K.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Well that didn't work. 90-120 psi did not release the clutch. Any other suggestions? What are the 6 little screws on the back side that remove towards the pulley?

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    When I replaced the taillights a couple of years ago I noticed all the connectors were dried out and cracked. At the time I just gooped them up with dielectric grease. I have since purchased replacement connectors and with redoing the light buckets and all, now is a good time to fix it. The...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    My dash cluster worked but had some issue from age. Some of the brackets that hold the gauges in were cracked or broken. Everything was just old, 29 years old to be exact. So I built a new gauge cluster and updated the water temp gauge. I kept the original speedometer but it had its share of...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Continuing the radiator removal, I found the metal lower radiator hose/connector in somewhat rusty condition. While I have it apart i'll replace that. Overall everything looked good. The belts are a little stiff but not cracking, i'll probably replace them while I'm right here. After...
