    6.2 Oil fill pipe versus 6.5 question

    Hello All, My new M1045A2 has a 6.5 versus my M988 which has a 6.2. When I checked the blow by on the 6.5 and went to put the Oil cap back on the filler tube it did not lock down like the 6.2. It got to a point of "snugness" then would "strip". I would then had to get it to the tightest point...

    M988 upgrade to M1045A2? Is it worth it?

    Hello All. I did not make it down last weekend, but leaving to check it out tomorrow. Just a few questions that I hope you can help me with. 1) The Hood on my 1987 M988 is in good shape and not cracked. Is it the same as the 2003 M1025A2 so I could swap them? 2) Is the Turret the same on an...

    M988 upgrade to M1045A2? Is it worth it?

    Hello Tobash. Yes, the Military removed the Turret. I was already thinking about reinstalling it if that is possible. If I do it will most likely leak, but I'm kinda used to that now. lol.

    M988 upgrade to M1045A2? Is it worth it?

    Hello All. I want to thank everyone for their input. It looks like I am making the trip down to see the vehicle tomorrow. After speaking with the owner its the only way I will be able to see what the true condition is. I'll let everyone know if the M1045A2 gets a new home or not. I know everyone...

    Keyed Switch

    Hello All. I'm looking at a Truck with this Keyed switch installed. I don't like it or want it. Can it be returned to the original configuration? I thought I read you had to drill the original hole open slightly to make the Keyed switch fit. Would that be just the plate or the dash itself? Long...

    M988 upgrade to M1045A2? Is it worth it?

    Hello All, I have the opportunity to purchase an M1045A2 for what I think is a reasonable price these days. Its a 2003 6.5 with 4 speed. For me I always wanted a Slant Back. The problem is I love my 1987 M998 and have done most of the work and all the maintenance myself. It is a badass Truck...

    Tach install on 1097A2 w/ 6.5NA

    I agree with Andy. Hooked up mine that way as well. Everything works. There are two things I don't like. First, the Tac light comes on as soon as you start the truck. I pulled the hot from the blower switch which was in the instructions. Second, I grounded it to the ground post on the oil...

    Interior noise. Soft vs hard doors?

    Quietest with the doors off for sure. I was going to add hard doors, but I like driving her with no doors which takes about a minute with soft-doors when it come to removing them. If I ever find that sought after Slant-back, now that would be a different story. Just my .02

    Cold weather Starting?

    Thanks for all the help! I'm looking at the Katz block heater. How does it connect to the block? No need to punch out a freeze plug I hope? Thanks again!

    Cold weather Starting?

    Hello All. I live in the Northeast. My 1997 F-250 Powerstroke plugs into an electrical outlet to warm the oil and help get her started in the cold months. I could not find anything like this on my M988. I think the TM stated there is no such option on the HUMVEE. Is that the case? Will my buggy...
