    M998 MARKINGS

    Welcome! I have one from JRTC as well. My triangle has a P-10 but its been mostly painted over. I also have the Ramsey winch. I bought mine from a guy in Kentucky who had a whole bunch of them. Maintenance wise, mine was in great shape. I will at some point restore the original markings and...

    Accelerator pedal issues

    When I got my M998 a few years ago I dealt with the same thing. My girlfriend said my right leg was getting bigger from having to push the pedal. I started a thread on here and most everyone said its not like a regular modern pickup etc.... So last month I needed a project and bought the...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Couldn't resist a cruise on the beach today. Just put my new tires and rims on and it rides a lot better. I'll wait til spring to have em balanced. Forecast is for snow this Friday so she's been cleaned up and put away for a bit. Stephen

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Up in the peoples republic of MA I go on Duxbury beach. Dunes are a no no. We get shut down from the beach every year during the piping plover hatching. They taste like chicken😂. Kidding. Stephen

    Top speed

    I'm a 55 guy in my M998. what amazes me is that people come up on you a$$ real fast. I actual installed amber strobes for any highway driving I do front and back. Hell, if the military has convoy lights, ill just take it up a notch. I did buy new BFG tires on 24 bolt rims which I've yet to...

    WEST KENTUCKY SURPLUS - X Doors

    I bought an M998 from him 2 years ago. My Main concern was that I wanted a truck that was mechanically sound when I got it. They delivered. I literally called them a few weeks after getting it and said my windshield washer pump wasn't working and they sent a new pump out right away. Two...

    Seats arrived: Check out this interior

    Wow. Looks great! What model seats are those? Where did you buy them? I see multiple places online with pricing all over the place. Thanks. Stephen

    Interior noise. Soft vs hard doors?

    That’s one thing I was afraid of. Boy it’s been nice these past few days up here in the Boston area cruising area with no doors again. I’m thinking my next buy will be new tires and rims instead of hard doors. Thanks for all youz guys thoughts on the subject. stephen.

    Interior noise. Soft vs hard doors?

    Gentlemen, personally, my truck is quietest with doors off I think. I’m pondering buying hard doors or xdoors. I really don’t run my M998 in the cold winter but fall and spring are my favorite times of year. do the hard doors make much of a difference with interior noise. I have full floor...

    Rear flap tie down failures

    I’m in the same boat. If someone knows the correct name for these thingamajigs let me know. They gotta be out there in metal. Thx.

    Driving a personal Humvee on the streets while national guard is deployed in state

    I figure my kicker base and tunes will differentiate me from any guard units. My local PD now has 4 HMMWV’s. They know me. The key is to be helpful and supportive of their mission. They will ask for help if need be. Stephen.

    When the Chinese media say the dog died, it probably meant someone ate it.

    Door Kit Companies

    I have a new Breton top and doors. Bought it that way but had it off this winter to redo interior. Fits like a glove. Perfect.

    Temperature sender wire

    So, since getting my 998 in August the only concern I’ve really had is operating temp. I’ve read everything I can on the matter and have replaced pretty much everything and with a laser thermometer it runs nice and cool but guage (new) shows 230+ once warmed up. I have it in the garage to redo...

    Gas pedal hard to press Normal?

    Thanks for everyone’s input. I read the appropriate TMs and the diagrams associated in them. Over the weekend I went through each part from the pedal to the injection pump. I checked for binding and sprayed wf40 where any friction could take place. The end result was that it’s lighter but as...

    Gas pedal hard to press Normal?

    Thanks for the input. The throttle lock is free and not binding it up. The injection pump is pretty stiff. It’does feel like it bound up but just pretty resistant to move. If gummed up, how would I clean it up?

    Gas pedal hard to press Normal?

    Bought my M998 last month. Pressing the pedal requires lots of lethal strength , not just pressure from foot. Is that normal? I’m going to start checking cable etc today but I’d love some feedback.
