    Thread size for Humvee antenna base?

    Have several two piece whip antennas for the Humvee era vehicles and several spring bases and mounts. All are the same size thread and match up perfectly. I needed one moure base and picked one up in a estate auction parts lot. Mounted it to my mount M998 and it bolts up perfectly, but my...

    iBis Tek incandescent light bar kit for Humvee?

    Here is the email I received from a Humvee vendor who's opinion I have no reason to doubt or believe he has any hidden agenda. That's why I'm coming here to seek "real world" experiences. Sorry hit the Send button by accident. The reason so man new kits were surpluses is they were designed...

    iBis Tek incandescent light bar kit for Humvee?

    It is my understanding that MRAPs were equipted with these light bars and the power drain was causing issues, so they were pulled from them and replaced with the LED versions which are still in use. I do not think the Humvees were ever provided the Ibis Tek halogen lights due to this power...

    iBis Tek incandescent light bar kit for Humvee?

    Have an opportunity to pick up a kit with at least two remote spots and several UV lights on several bars. NOS originally for the MRAP but was told will fit Humvee. All excited and then someone told me that these were surplused because they were pulled off all the MRAPs due to power issues and...

    Need pic of tail pipe

    The Bubba fire department that had my truck did a great job of welding up a civilian exhaust system that will probably out live me, so I hate to cut it all off, but it ends under the truck bed and I'd like to have my local exhaust shop fabricate a tail pipe that would look somewhat stock. I...

    What do you call the three inch ring of soft metal b/t exhaust y-pipe and water fording exhaust pipe?

    I took my M998 to a local high school for a veterans day event and one of the youth asked me what the stack was for and I replied that that is how the military could tell if it was a male or female Humvee. I don't think he got it. I like the look of both the snorkle and snorter, but it does...

    M998 6.2 roller coaster idle issue

    I have only been checking this at idle, usually while I am working on something else on the Humvee body. I will try some additional throttle and see what it does and also unplug the suggested lead. I have taken a video of the current situation and will post it on Utube with a link here. Thanks...

    M998 6.2 roller coaster idle issue

    Recently acquired M998, so no history to refer to and forum search does not reveal exactly this isse I am having. Smart Start system works and after engine start engine idles smooth. But, after a frew minutes the idle increases and then settles back down, increases then settle back down. Not...

    What got cut out of my M998?

    Thanks, but, no. I have parts Humvees all throughout the property. My son thought some sort of part or fitting got cut out and we searched the bone yard and nothing was ever attached there in any of the other Humvees. So the access cut out makes perfect sense.

    Anyone install seat belts?

    Sounds great. I have a tote of military NOS seat belts for Mutts and Humvees that I was hoping to use if I have to. But I've seen other just put the least expensive belts in their rig to pass an inspection or keep Momma happy. If I'm gonna do it, I'd like to do it right. This might be an...

    Anyone install seat belts?

    If I'm reading my GA statutes correctly, all vehicles on state roads built after 1954 must have turn signals and vehicles built after 1965 must have seat belts. So, my Kaiser M715 built in 1967 should have both. It has the military wiring and turn signals, but no seat belts. Nor any...

    How to replace just heater core?

    I had another thread started on bypassingthe heater core due to a leaking one. I had to change direction on that and now have a week or so to do it a little more correct. I have a parts M998 that I hope the heater core is solid and want to just swap out the two heater cores. I have found all...

    What got cut out of my M998?

    The captive nuts on the door hinge were replaced with "normal" nuts, so I believe that Bubba broke off a captive nut or two and cut his way into the recess to remove door hinge.

    In a bit of a panic with this M998. Have an event in two days that is a short drive away. On a test drive today, running the heater and getting anti freeze on the passenger floor, so heater core is bad. Long term I can replace heater core but it aint' gonna happen tomorrow. If I leave all...

    Help ID tail light bracket. Trailer?

    OK, thanks for the lead. I'll post something up on the truck forum. Maybe a dump? Something that needs the tail light out on an outrigger?

    Help ID tail light bracket. Trailer?

    This came in a lot of take off Humvee parts, and presume it has nothing to do with a Humnvee. What little I have worked on WWII trailer, they usually had a bracket similar to this to hang a tail light from. So guessing modernish trailer. Service tag riveted to bracket but no other data. 24 v...
