    Truck bought for parts, got it running, but…

    Wicked wheel 2 for the Chevy/GMC 6.5L I ordered from dieselsite.com their P/N DS.ww:ww65. It was $163.07 with shipping. But the big change came when I went to an adjustable wast gate. I bought one, but mogman did a great write up and pictures of converting a stock one to manual on the HMMWV hot...

    M998 with Brush Guard - any off the shelf options for winch mount?

    Ok so don't laugh, but I have a front mount winch and when I head off road I pull the cable out throw it under the truck and hook it to the rear bumper then pull up the slack and head out. If i need to pull backwards I free spool the winch and pull the cable backwards and winch, If I need to...

    Transmission- or differential issue?!

    I have seen sheared pinions but only in things with much more horsepower than a HMMWV could dream of. If it is the input i would bet its more likely the yoke got lose and stripped out it's splines. with that in mind if the diff turns when you turn the pinion I would look at the output flanges...

    Transmission- or differential issue?!

    If the rear cover is off, just turn the pinion if the ring gear rotates the problem is in the center section or outputs. If the ring gear does not turn then its the pinion.

    ON BOARD AIR?

    I included a link to a regulator like I use, it screws onto the tank and has a std air hose coupler on it. It is a fixed 150psi output so nothing else other than an air hose and tool is needed. CO2 expands something like 800 times it's compressed volume which is why it works for me over...

    ON BOARD AIR?

    this is the type of regulator I use will run my impacts no sweat, couple of bucks a year for tank rental, and your good to go. Yes there are better tanks than the steel rental units, but for under $100.00 you can see if it works for you...

    ON BOARD AIR?

    Good questions, my local welding supplier keeps CO2 tanks in stock for all of the soda fountains in town, so you can just swap out for a full one. I have fancy powder coated tanks so I drop them off have have mine filled. CO2 it cheap but every few years they have to hydro test them before...

    Elusive Electrical Gremlin

    Next time the evap fan kicks off, pop the hood and see if your AC compressor is running. If the evap and comp are going on and off together that is normal. The front fan (I am guessing condenser fan) should stay on as long as the switch is on high or low speed. If your not fast enough with the...

    Send your injectors to the same place you sent your pump and have them rebuilt. I send the injectors with the pump every time I send a pump to the fuel shop. It costs vary little to have them cleaned and pop pressure adjusted, Or if needed the Tip replaced and adjusted. These injectors are...

    Check how your tires are mounted

    Like Mogman said, I only rotate Radial tires front to rear, NEVER in an X pattern. An X pattern on a radial has caused belt separation and tire failure on my vehicles. front to rear and rear to front left side same on right side so the rotation of the tire stays the same.

    M998 turbo conversion

    Mogman; You might check your injection pump P/N, the DB2831-5485 pumps were on late model HMMWV engines and that's as good as it gets. DB2 - 8 cyl-3.10 plungers and 5485 were set for 200HP from the factory. also I set the spring length on mine to 1 3/4" on the boost controller and under hard...

    What exactly does the torque converter lockup switch do?

    On my M1123 at 60 MPH when I lift my foot on the throttle I get dynamic braking from the engine until I touch the Brake the converter unlocks and RPM drops to an idle, and I lose my engine braking. If your losing engine braking when you back off the throttle you may have more going on here than...
