Winch works, have new cable.
PRACTICALLY speaking, has anyone else figured out how to get five HUNDRED pounds tension on the end of the cable while reeling it in as per instructions?
I printed out relevant sections of TM 9-2320-280-20-3 (10-110.1) today and didnt' see any specific...
topic: 1992 M998 fuel tank. Leaking.
project: drop tank, replace gaskets. Maybe put an armor plate on the bottom of the tank. Maybe replace the tank. Thing in there is what, blown polyethylene with some stabilizers added, 25 or more years ago?
Crunch the numbers for the cost for parts vs...
Came upon this issue when trying to read the instructions - copy of a copy of a second generation copy thereof, at best - included with the high back seat upgrade.
Ditto the hand throttle accessory kit.
I have a high-resolution laser printer/copier at work, but even tinkering with...
To the left of the transfer case shift lever on the left is a riveted silk-screened aluminum indicator plate marked H/L H N L ( I think, it's VERY worn and the operator's manual shows what should be there).
I've dug around the parts books, 24P-1, 2, 3 and several of the usual parts sites and am...
because I've seen it listed several ways.
I've got a standard 1st generation brush guard which would look pretty good sand blasted and painted, but I'd like a stronger bumper.
H1 looks like a possibility, EARLY H1 brush guards said to fit early Humvees, not sure I want to take a gamble, plus...
Bought an M998 HMMWV in early October and the seller told me he thought the tires had run-flats/runflats/run flats in them, maybe.
Why the variations? Because I've looked around on this site and others trying to figure out how I figure out if I do or don't have the things short of deflating...
Seemed pretty straight-forward, maybe 55 degrees F ambient temp contributed, but without tearing the thing, or tearing my hair out, or two extra sets of hands, I couldn't get the gasket on my doghouse yesterday.
I did search. found four pages of non-related topics here.
Does anyone have...
I have a '92 (mfd 12/91, says '93 on the title) M998 HMMWV and among the things that are toast is the heater motor.
I've found three separate numbers.
6105012116635 30266 figure 333 of the P-1 manual.
6105014635260 30042 is the NEW (marked with *) model.
I haven't taken the motor out yet...
Filled up Friday, Saturday AM I was doing something with the batteries and smelled diesel fuel.
Took a minute to track down the source. Apparently, along with most all the other rubber parts on this truck (1993 M998 6.2L), the hose is broken down and being parked on a slight slope (rear end...
So the steering column on my Humvee M998 1992 (build date 12/1991) is broken. Thought the bolts needed tightening - place I bought it assured me it would be done before I picked it up but money had changed hands and well, I got screwed - little tab on one side is broken and the hex nuts are...
Someone suggested i post here and ask if there are any HMMWV mechanics close to Nashville who could go take a look at a humvee I'm bidding on, see if it's up to seller's specs.
Feel free to contact me via email.
Thanks in advance.

Looking into a potential deal on a 1993 Humvee, new run flat tires, 6.5L engine (3 speed), road titled/tagged, only question is, do I fly out to pick it up and drive home (750 miles roughly), earplugs/headset OR, sight unseen, pay for it and have it shipped out (about a grand, I've checked).
I...
