I bought a Gichner Systems S-250 Comms Shelter on GovPlanet with the idea of converting it to a micro camper for me, my wife, and my 12 y/o daughter. I decided on an M1102 trailer as the host, as I have a 1986 AM General M998 HMMWV, and it would ride appropriately, and also my Tacoma TRD...

Thanks; I hope so too. I converted a Gichner S-250 Comms Shelter into a family camper by dropping it in an M1102 trailer and doing a full 12v system with solar charger etc. that can plug into a generator or shore power and run A/C. I built it this spring (thank you, shelter in place order!)...

My daughter wears OD green and camouflage stuff. I have given her some of my surplus t-shirts I buy in multipacks for yard work etc. I think it's awesome. My wife, not so much. 😕

Here's my 1986 AM General M998 HMMWV "Sweet Pea" - my nickname for my 12 y/o daughter - who incidentally, is a big fan of the HMMWV. Naming it after my daughter also helped ease my wife's ire about me buying a surplus HMMWV in need of restoration without consulting with her first. Sorry dear...

Probably a dumb question, but in "H", which wheels get the power? i.e., RWD or FWD?

Thanks for the info: I just found one via army surplus warehouse for $26 shipped. It says it is for HMMWV 1986-1990, so that's my HMMWV.

Any advice on how I can determine which it is?

Do you have an NSN for the Shifter Fork Transfer Shift you used?

When it would disengage and grind, I shut off the engine and shifted to HL to get it to drive again.

Thanks for the quick reply. Did you replace the range shifting fork? How intensive is that?

I have a 1986 M998 HMMWV and when I try to put the transfer case into "H", it just makes a grinding noise and goes nowhere. I adjusted the linkage and could get it to drive a little way (about 30 sec - 1 min) and then it would disengage, make the grinding noise, and coast to a stop. I can put...

Sorry, but gotta brag about dumb luck; it took 13 days for my EUC to be processed / approved for my 1986 M998 HMMWV... I liked the growlers, but way pricier. Do you have pics?

Thank you; those pics are helpful. Could you take a pic of the underside of the winch / mount? I'm trying to piece it together in my mind and there are very few pics on the internet that really detail how it is affixed.

What combination of parts did you use to mount your winch? Did the three (3) parts numbers you listed above work? I am looking at installing a winch on my M998. Thanks.

Fixed Replaced fuel pump, ran better, but still stalled out. I drained the fuel tank (it had 1/2 tank when I picked it up), kicking the tank to stir up sediment as it drained; saw some opaque fuel and sketchy streaks. Filled her back up and she runs great.

Sitting in my dead m998; it fired up, I drove it to the back of our property, gunned it, it only got to about 35 MPH then seemed to hit the ceiling. I slowed down a bit and then it cut off. Turned ignition all the way off then it fired back up. Nursing it back at 5 mph, but it cut off again...

I read about someone else having that issues with the wires reversed, but my HMMWV ran great until it just didn't, so I doubt it is that. I'll check the connection; simplest is usually best. If it sits for a few days, I can generally go a few hundred yards before it cuts off.

I will try bleeding an injector; thanks. I am moving forward with a fuel pump replacement (already ordered it, have it on hand), it is just a matter of finding time.

I have a 1986 M998 with "87k" miles on it. Ran great at first, but then lost power and quit. I replaced the fuel filter (looked like someone wiped their butt with it), changed oil, changed transmission fluid, complete coolant system flush, new batteries. It has fuel, and it Cranks but shuts off...
