I did a search but came up empty. I vaguely recall seeing a post where someone mentioned buying signal and tail light lenses with "DOT approved" stamped on them. Obviously the civilian H1 would come with these from the factory but does such a product exist for the M998 composite light fixtures...

Dave Demorrow is a fellow who has been attempting to help many states craft legislation to help keep FMV's operating on public roads. The MVPA and FMV owners are not giving him the support he needs. He recently attended a hearing in Kansas where the president of the MVPA lives and Mr. Lockwood...

I'm still planning a coolant flush and a thermostat refresh, but it appears that the hot running issue in my wife's HMMWV is more a case of the temperature gauge being off by 10-15 degrees. First, I have observed that the engine seems to be running cooler in general, down to an "indicated" 215F...

On to the next problem- From my inspection under the truck, the parking brake is nothing more than a very long rod with a short section of cable at the end at the rear of the vehicle. Doesn't seem like there's a lot to go wrong, yet I experience times where the parking brake binds badly...

I am very unhappy with the new search feature. Rather than open up yet another "What kind of oil do you use?" thread, I attempted to do a search on it. The search engine returned a result that said "the words engine and oil were omitted because they are too common" Are you kidding me?? So...

In my M813, there is an unused female pigtail dangling from the dash wiring harness. The wire is #40, which according to the wiring diagram in the -20, is used for "panel lights." The sketch does seem to indicate a pigtail in the wiring harness at that point. This would seem to indicate that...

Searched through the manuals, and searched the archives here, with little luck. In the 2-man config, there are 2 types of "filler panels" that I've seen in place of rear doors. There's a solid panel, and a panel where the lower 1/3 of the panel is hinged and held shut with 2 rubber holddowns on...

Ok, I drove a plain, 2002 M998 home some 82 miles today. Yay, me. I have downloaded what I think are the right manuals and I am reading them, but help me understand a few things: Item 1. There is a statement in one of the manuals that says: Does this only apply to ambulances or maybe fuel...

Wife wants to tow our Coleman pop-up camper with her HMMWV to campgrounds in hilly MD and PA. I found the XM381 website with the 24v to 12v converter cable. That's awesome. Here's my question: This is not a little, bitty pop-up. It's a Coleman Plantation that weighs something like 2750lbs...

Yes, I performed a search but all I could find was a lot of discussion about upgrades. Bottom line: How reliable is the 3-speed transmission? I have a lead on a basic 998 in "pickup truck configuration." The truck will see occasional, light hauling duty around the house, pleasure drives and...

That's Esoterica, not "Erotica." Get your brains out of the gutter. I have an obscure question: Why do M35's have that crazy, dog-legged switch lever on the battery cutoff, rather than the standard switch lever that is on virtually every other electrical control on every M35 and early 5-ton...

My transfer case is very difficult to shift in either direction. I can get it into neutral easy enough but getting it back into either gear is a real bear and I'd never be able to pull off a split-shift if my life depended on it. I *think* the issue is mostly worn out shift linkage components...

Just a few quick questions that weren't quite answered by my thread searches or the TM. There are several good Youtube videos on steering axle boots, hub and axle work but they're nearly all for the 939 series trucks with air brakes, which doesn't apply to me. Also, real life seems to...

I have a 1-ton chain fall that I'd like to use to hoist heavy items into the bed of my truck. I know I could buy a small grove crane but that's kind of a permanent installation. I'm wondering if there's a way to set up a frame near the tail gate that could support at least a half ton. Something...

As the topic states- Are they common application or are they vehicle specific? CARNAC has a couple for sale that I thought I would snap up for my spare parts pile. He was unsure if they were compatible with the 809 series. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

My understanding is that click-type torque wrenches only measure torque in RH threaded applications. I've seen some that say "reversible" but that doesn't mean what it sounds like. Is there a truly reversible click-type torque wrench that will measure up to 350 ft. lbs for LH threaded...

Just a note that B&M Military Surplus in Altoona, NY has gone out of business due to the owner's retirement. https://bandmmilitarysurplus.com/ Their inventory was bought up, but I don't know by whom.

Today, I observed that I don't seem to have enough safe attachment points to hoist a T-138 transfer case out of the can. There is one large dog ear (circled in red) that looks safe and strong enough but I don't see any attachment points anywhere else. This view is looking straight down into the...

My "new" transfer case was apparently a rebuild. The tag says "BB MD" with a date of February, '94. I've done some Googling but can't find a reference to any depot with that code. Could it be Aberdeen, MD?

Hey all, I've been hunting for the best deal, on the best transfer case I can find, for my truck. B&M Military Surplus states that they have several "new and rebuilt" units for a price that I can stomach. I've found references to them in the archives, but nothing stating their trustworthiness...
