    HMMWV Alignment Question - well maybe.

    Another question for the experienced folks here. As I mentioned on my other thread, I recently installed a set of skid pads from Jeremy Johnson. He certainly does great work. I mentioned that when I turn the steering wheel all the way to the right stop, the right outside of the right tire rubs...

    Odd ball: Any ideas the purpose of this? Driver's side, under dash against tunnel

    I was installing some sound/heat insulation and I got to the driver's side under the dash area and I spotted this thing pictured below. Does not look like something the previous owner installed, but what do I know? It goes inside a tube that just is opened on the other end just out of the...

    Procedure to remove all the interior "hush" panels?

    I tried to do some searching but I am not finding what I need, so I thought I would ask. I may not have the correct name for them, but I want to carefully remove the interior "hush" panels, or whatever they are called. They are green and look like they are made of some kind of foam. For my...

    I free admit I am a newbie, and I have two silly oil change questions as my next oil change in coming up soon. M998. Last time I changed the oil, I finished up and started the engine to let it cycle before I checked the oil and discovered that the brand new pristine oil on the dip stick was...

    Hurricane Advice: HMMWV will not move!

    Once again I need the advice of the collective as I might be seeing something HMMWV specific. Back in July, my batteries failed and I had to have the M998 towed home. Since the batteries were replaced, it has been sitting unmoved. Fast forward and now I wanted to make sure it was in shape to...

    I would like to ask the collective advice on collecting parts to replace the 3 speed TH350 with a 4 speed 4L80(E?). I have a 1990 M998 with a 6.2, and TH350. I have done a lot of reading and actually I think I am more confused than before. I decided I want to buy the transmission and other...

    Folks, Once again I need the assistance of the experts here. Was returning from a car show and stopped for diesel and I made the mistake of shutting off the engine. When I attempted to restart we heard a huge pop! Sounded like maybe it came from the battery area under the passenger seat? The...

    How To: Interior "Dome" lights - without door switches

    I know this modification is not for everyone, especially anyone that wants to keep their HMMWV stock or stealthy. But if you would like to have dome lights that do not need door switches, or are not just controlled by a simple switch to turn them on and off manually, this setup might be for you...

    Need Advice on disfunctional Windshield Wiper Motor

    I wanted to ask the collective for advice on my M998, which I just discovered did not have functional windshield wipers. I think it is the motor after a bit of testing. I found a YouTube that pointed me to a connector on the bottom of the windshield which commonly corrodes. I have a hardtop...

    Anyone install the Self Cancelling Turn Signal Switch kit on a M998?

    Wanted to ask the collective if anyone has successfully installed the Self Cancelling Turn Signal Switch, kit 57K3222 on a m998? The only thread I could find was from a non-HUMVEE tractor and they had to make their own cancel ring to fit their column. Any pitfalls? Is the AMG Kit plug and...

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

    Another newbie question. I tried searching but I am not finding the answer. I am eventually looking to upgrade the stock M998 generator because I am installing an electric winch. Seems like the price of the NOS 450 amp generators are much less than beatup "used" 200 amp generators that are...

    Hi Folks - another newbie seeking more wisdom :unsure: I did a search and found lots of information on how people installed a tach on later Humvees with the 6.5 and alternators. But mine is a 6.2 and has a generator. I will probably mount mine high like shown here: I see that most of the...

    Hazard Flasher does not function, Turn Signals fine?

    Another Newbie question. I thought the lights I had on my M998 were fine, at least the turn signals, stop lights and headlights. The BOL were not working. So I took apart just the rears and I found the inside of the rear lights were about half way filled up with mud! Also, the lens assembly...

    Another newbie question so please go easy on me. I did some searches and found some YouTubes, but I still need advice. '92 M998 I have probably done a hundred brake jobs but I never did one with inboard brakes. The pads look thin so I figure since it is 30 years old and I don't know what was...

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    I don't want to be banned, but my wife demands I immediately send my sweet M998 that was just delivered this week to the junk yard! I received it in better condition than I expected from a private out-of-state seller that had it tagged there. It runs great, no leaks, great driver, just needs a...
