@Mogman is the ultimate authority as I am just a newbie here but here is my 2 cents worth :) I installed the Military tach, so I paid the HMMWV tax as usual instead of using something affordable. I just hooked it up to a "run" +24V source, ground, +24V from the dash bulbs and two sensor wires...

Not to hijack your thread, but this may be of interest to you for interior lights: How To: Interior "Dome" lights - without door switches To answer your question, I ran wire(s) direct to the 12V post and 24V terminal posts of the battery - fused of course, for power source. And I got ignition...

:ditto: A cell phone and AAA membership for a tow. Just let them know you need a standard flatbed - it will fit. But if you are stuck off road, best to go with some buddies that can drag you out as AAA won't do off road recoveries.

I cannot answer the question about those x-doors on a helmet top as I am a newbie and the previous owner bought and installed what I have so I have no idea where they came from. But the x-doors installed, and the helmet top too are fiberglass. Kind of rough finish.

I have the NOCO X2 and I can confirm it will work correctly connected to both batteries. They have an accessory to power it with an external outlet. I hooked it up using an outdoor extension cord at the rear wheel well. I just plug in the extension cord and it trickle charges both batteries...

I am hoarding parts for a 60 Amp to 200 Amp generator conversion and I need the knowledge of the collective again. This time, it is belt routing after the conversion. I bet there is someone here that has a 200 AMP generator with AC and can tell me how their v-belts route! A "Normal" M998 with...

I too had this same problem. Same belt setup. I was going to replace all the belts once the Florida Inferno dissipates. I am not sure how old the belts on the truck are, so I was going to replace them all just as general maintenance. Plus the hose for the fan clutch that looks old and has...

Just to post another idea for shows and parades. I was watching one of the car shows on Motortrend, and they rigged up an air tank with an electronic valve and it spit out confetti rather impressively. It spit it out pretty far. Might keep the ATF off your back, these days they are looking for...

Had mine in for about a year now. Like them. Ask me in about 8 years and I'll tell you if I love them or not.

It is amazing how much of a racket it makes with that broken spring. Just watch out for the HMMWV tax! When I replaced mine a year ago, the best price I could find was a little over a $1 each, but $25 shipping! So I ordered a few. Or wait till you need a few things and make a large order - if...

I finally got around to hooking up a digital VOM at the batteries and drive it around. The voltage with the engine running, any speed, any load, was pretty consistent at 27.3 to 27.4 volts. Extremely stable - pretty much the same within 0.1 volts between idle or 2000 RPMs, or stopped at a light...

Do'oh! I am brain dead. Makes perfect sense! Thank you! I am not R&R the clutch. Just R&R the hose which is has small cracks in it so I am want to replace just the hose with one that has quick disconnect on it. I have to disconnect the hose at one end anyway to replace the V-belts too.

Yet another request from the collective on a shortcut or procedures to help me save tearing up my hands, destroying my radiator, or breaking my fan. Once the Florida Inferno subsides in 5 months, I am going to replace all the V-Belts on my M998 6.2 NA and replace the Fan Clutch Host with one of...

Not to hijack this thread, but is there a source for a complete kit of the plastic bushings, preferably without the HMMWV tax? I found a partial kit when I serviced the wiper motor, but there are others that seem to be unobtainable.

Thanks - so I think you are saying that even if I upgrade from my 60 Amp generator to a 200 amp, the sound will still be present. I put a voltmeter on it and report back as soon as I can...

What is the recommended 60 amp generator upgrade but be able to keep the twin V-belt setup? Or is there a kit for a serpentine belt system? I found a couple of You Tubes of folks that went to a 60 amp alternator but that won't increase the amps. And I see kits for a 160 amp alternator but that...

Yes, I do have the original 60 Amp generator. Sounds logical that it would be the evap fans since the sound seems to go away with the AC off. I am just wondering why the sound is present with the engine running, but if I shutdown the engine and I have the evap fans running (any speed), the...

Once again the NOOB must come to the collective to get advise. Recently, I began hearing a whistling noise that I have been unable to track down. At first I thought it was bad belt(s) or a bearing going out, but now I think it is something else. It sounds like a whistle to me. Maybe a vacuum...

I have a extremely long thread on my ordeal with Florida DMV Sucks Thread. The short story is that if you go to a large DMV office in a major Florida city, you have no chance of getting a Florida tag, military, collector car, whatever. They invalidated my out-of-state title I got from the...
