    M998 Generator Q: Can a 450 amp be used in a M998 or is 200 amp the only upgrade available?

    If I were you I would strongly consider avoiding the 400 amp alternator. Not only will you need to replace the alternator, you will need to replace the brackets and an important portion of the wiring harness. If you do not replace that portion of the wiring harness you will burn out your...

    That much offset is trouble. I hope you have "BlueHummers" .

    M998 Generator Q: Can a 450 amp be used in a M998 or is 200 amp the only upgrade available?

    From my conversations with Steve, Retired War Horses doesn't like the 400 amp units. Overly large and such.

    auto trailer

    If your vehicle is a rolling chassis, why not just place a “redibrake “ system and an “A” arm puller and pull without a platform/trailer. Cheaper, 100% legal, safer. Your rig being moved needs to be titled and registered and insured.

    High RPM’s

    What differential gears are you running. You have a late model so you certainly don’t have 2.56. If you’re running 3 or higher then you will drive more slowly at a higher ROM.

    Dongfeng doors on Humvee

    I would never support a company that blatantly ripped off an American company’s technology. What they have done would be considered illegal in the United States and the company would be closed. I believe this thread should be closed just on principle. Sorry for being a stick in the mud.

    New manual start box install

    It would make no difference if you run a keyed ignition. The only thing the key would do is prevent electricity from getting to the starter box until turned on, something that is normal with a standard EESS and PCB and starter box clone.

    Hence the reinforcement on the rockers

    after 5 years of fighting dla.... WE WIN

    Could someone please explain to me what is being referred to. I have never been good with abbreviations. It sounds like something great has happened and I feel stupid because I don’t understand.

    HMMWV seats or LMTV?

    I used to think this was essential. My prior posts will prove it. I have changed my opinion… Once I reinforce the rockers, that whole piece is going in the garbage and a proper seat will go in its place. Just like the civilian Humvees

    LS Engine Swap, why?

    Holy Rat Block Batman, this thread has unfortunately come alive after four years of mercifully being dead. Don’t forget that you would need to convert the entire vehicle to 12 V and that means installing a fuse box in order to get rid of the protective control box. Do you really want to do at...

    Turn Signal Control Arm Bulb Replacement?

    Usually you use the thin silver wire to pull off the green cover and pop out the old bulb and replace with new bulb. Then replace the green cover. Edit- Max beat me to it

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Caactus, I’m late to the party here and I haven’t caught up. ( If I’m asking a dumb question, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it!) You sure the IP isn’t leaking. ?

    Thoughts on Injection pump rebuilders or remanufactures?

    Because of the issues finding a rebuilder, I purchased a new DB2 for my new p400 going into my Hummer H1.

    looking for info on a HUMMWV 6.5 turbo boost gage and diesel tachometer

    If he needs HP… He has a late 90’s turbo, so he can up the boost to 12 and adjust the injection upwards.

    looking for info on a HUMMWV 6.5 turbo boost gage and diesel tachometer

    My suggestion is exhaust gas temperature gauges are more important than either of the above. My second suggestion is water methanol injection to keep EGT’s low.
