I am mounting a set of supplemental armor doors on #2 M998, I see two styles of X door strikers, one is just a pin and the other is a pin with a flange on the end, it looks like the one with a flange would be much more likely to grab clothing etc., also it looks like the same body hinges that...
Has anyone found a source for the 5/8" supplemental armor glass, all I see are poly windows and an occasional NOS piece.
Do not prefer the poly because they scratch too easy and the OEM glass is obviously crap to begin with.
EDIT, my opinion is based on the fact that I have 2 M998s, a helmet top...
On my #1 M998 I installed locking door handles, gives me some piece of mind as long as I can still see the truck.
BUT in today's environment I am thinking also of being able to lock myself IN, hopefully giving me long enough to draw....
So is Federal the only one offering a "dual" locking door...
My 93 M998 has the original (A-0) front seats, I have a set of A1 seats and all the necessary components for the commander side.
I also picked up a drivers seat base from AMG.
The footprint looks to be much different than the original and the parts TM does not seem to be any help, does this...
OK I am not trying to open the debate whether there is or is not a such thing as an A0, I think most understand the what is meant by that designation.
I am curious when the A1 came about, both my 1992 and 1993 M998s do not have an A1 on the data plates but for some reason I just took for...
Well hopefully this will not be the epitaph for this project, I thought a thread with the progress and possible pitfalls that lay ahead might be interesting to someone, constructive criticism, hints and comments from actual experience will be of course welcome.
Some of this has been told before...
Is there a TM that includes body removal?
So far my observations are, remove all the hoses from the power steering/brake booster and fan control, unbolt master cylinder so it will stay with the chassis, unbolt all the cables from the starter, remove the stack mounts for the front harness and...
OK moderators before you get your dander up I am not asking about anything illegal......
I would like to consult with anyone that has titled there Humvee in Texas lately, PM is also fine.
OK I got #2 home today, filled it with oil, fuel, fixed the broken sediment bowl (replaced) and this one runs and generates but as SEEMS to be NORMAL it has controller issues, this one the "arm" will not rotate enough to contact the magnet, I am assuming someone messed with the pinch bolt that...
I purchased some O rings off of one of the auction sites, they were supposed to be for the late 12 and 24 bolt wheels (orange) they listed military part numbers but it does say it "replaces" those numbers, never actually saying they were OEM, no big problem I can send them back.
SO the...
I picked up a MEP-831 yesterday with only 0.7hrs on the clock, after shutting it down I have to manually release the governor arm from the magnet before I can start it again, otherwise all looks to be working OK, I looked it up in the field manual and it said to refer to field level maint...
I am curious about the CTIS system for the HMMWV, I understand very few were installed from the factory so there will not be allot of folks that can answer these questions.
1, what is the max pressure the factory system will allow?
2, are there normally any issue with the seals in the hubs...
Sorry if this is redundant, I did search and did not find the answers.
SO for 12K hubs and vented rotors the half shafts are
LF= 2520014214588, RCSK17028-3
RF= 2520014231947, RCSK17028-2
REAR= 2520014214589, RCSK17028-1
Also the 12K uses the same boot in and out?
These would be A2 shafts YES??
Are all 12K half shafts the same (not talking about length relative to their position)
I picked up a set of 12K hubs with CTIS for the M998 #2 project and see sellers selling 12K half shafts but they are being specific on what models they fit, I assumed they would be all the same, except for...
I have looked and cannot find a parts breakdown for the 24 bolt wheels, do they use the same bolts as the 12 bolt wheels? I come up with NSN 5306014172467 and part number 12460179 for the 12 bolt wheels.
I am referring to the evenly spaced 24 bolt wheels in case that makes a difference.
In case you are thinking of using YRC for a LTL load, they now have a contract with Walmart and all Walmart shipments are given first priority.
That means I am screwed, I shipped in some radios for terminal pickup, the trailer has been at the terminal for 10 days and has yet to be stripped, they...
I am curious if anyone has an explanation for this date code of NEWV, this does not fit any DOT date code that I can find.
It does have a plant code for Goodyear in Topeka
Edit, it looks like it has no date code, I thought the second set after the DOT was the date code but according to this it...
Has anyone received an EUC lately, I am wondering if they (both GP and government) are even processing them, my status is still on "fill EUC" which I have done 8 weeks age, they have not responded to an email I sent them a month ago, BOY I MISS GOVERNMENT LIQUIDATION!
I am not in a state of...
