Hi all! Once again, we are going to have a fund raising effort on SS to support our wounded veterans. Last year's campaign raised almost $5000! I think we can do even better than that so I set this year's goal at $7500. I just dropped $200 in the pot to kick things off. Here's the link to...

This was sent to me by another SS mermber:Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation Report F2010-32| CDC/NIOSH This has nothing to do with the HMMWV itself, but rather a poorly designed, home-brew water delivery system. I know we have a lot of VFD and FD guys on here now researching HMMWV brush...

Hi guys, I've been hearing one of my front halfshafts popping lately. I suspect it is the front-left but it is a little tough to localize with all of the engine noise. My first instinct is to buy both front A0 10k shafts and swap them out, but the gearhead in my says why not upgrade while...

Hi All, I picked up a 3-point seat belt kit for my M998, but it didn't include the templates that are used to drill the holes in the body for all of the braces and brackets. Has anyone installed the belts without using the templates? It would seem that you could hold the brackets and braces...

Hi all! I am making a concerted effort to get the official SS Webzine up and running this spring. Initially, it will be a quarterly online publication and the subscription price is included in the premium membership dues. I have been actively trying to recruit authors and an editor for the...

I have always been good about wearing a shield when I am welding. I usually use an auto-darkening unit, which works well in most situations, unless I'm in a tight spot. I don't usually have ear protection on unless I am going to be grinding for an extended period, but I may change my habits...

I am trying to get my parking brake functional again and need some pics to see exactly how it is supposed to look when it is done. My truck has the early style brake on the rear diff. I am missing everything between the brake handle to the caliper. I have looked at the parts diagram in the...

There have been a lot of posts recently asking what the premium membership is and why it was created. I have closed a couple of other threads and pointed folks here to keep all of the info in one place. Here's the skinny: The standard FREE membership is not going away. This site has always...

Hello everyone! I am very pleased to announce that Steel Soldiers now has a new admin/webmaster working on all of the updates and improvements that you have all been so patiently waiting for!! He has extensive experience with the vBulletin forum software including being an admin for a vB site...

Hello everyone!! I have been working on a fundraising event behind the scenes for the last month now. The Steel Soldiers family has a ton of great members and it is time we start doing more things to support our veterans and active and retired service members. To that end, I have created an...

So, I am really close to hooking up some batteries to my M998 to see if it will start and run, but I noticed that the ground shunt has been swiped from my battery box. Everything that I have read on the net and in the TM's suggests that it is only really used by the STE/ICE wiring for ammeter...

Hi Everyone, Manstein has elected to step down from his position as SS Chaplain. He served us well over the last 18 months, but now he must resign because of his extensive work-related travel and lack of free time. Thank you sir for your commitment and service. Thankfully, John aka...

Hello everyone, I understand that a lot of you have questions about this site's lack of direction and apparent lack of leadership. I want to address those issues and I would like to start off by apologizing for my absence from the site and the obvious lack of progress around here. I haven't...

Hi Gang, As many of you know, I traded my M925A2 for a 1985 M998. It came from a great guy in TX named Rick. It was an interesting 3-way trade where Rick got 19kilo's deuce RV, I got Rick's M998, and Dave 19kilo got my M925A2. The HMMWV is not quite home yet. It is currently in Memphis...

Hi guys, Do any of you fellas in WV, preferably southern WV, have a trailer I can borrow? My HMMWV made it as far as Memphis and I am looking at driving down there and hauling it the rest of the way back. I need a trailer with at least 7' across the deck so a 7x16' to 7x20' trailer would be...

Hi guys, I haven't been able to get my HMMWV shipped yet due to some serious mechanical issues with my previous shipper's truck. He suggested that I look elsewhere for a shipper since it might be a while before he can get to it. I have a listing on U-ship and have received a couple of offers...

I'm looking for a cross-country hauler to move some trucks around. I need a quote on moving a 5-ton from NC to AZ, then a 2.5-ton LWB from AZ to TX, and finally, a 1.25-ton from TX to WV. Post or PM if interested or if you know of a good shipper who could handle that. Thanks.

Here's a good resource for figuring out the SN on your M939-series. This was orignally posted by Terry on M939 Series Mod Tracking. Thanks Terry.

OK folks, I need a lot of items picked up from Mechanicsburg, PA. The items are laying on 2 pallets, but are light enough to be moved by hand, leaving the pallets behind. There are 3 pulley assemblies, one tire/wheel, one manifold for a laundry trailer, and 6 impellers around 18" in diameter...
