    Both headlights failing intermittantly

    Are you referring to the button on the floor for high beams? I did notice that it is getting hard to click on and off lately. Maybe its on its way out.

    Both headlights failing intermittantly

    Was driving at night today, pitch black, and my headlights flickered when I hit a bump. About 20 seconds later, they went out completely. I toggled the headlight switch on and off a bunch of times but they would not turn back on. I didn't think of trying to switch to high beams, so I never tried...

    Three speed shifting problem

    That completely fixed it, thanks! I had to adjust the modulator cable ALL the way out. But now it starts in first, shifts into second at 15mph, and shifts into third at 27mph. I feel like I just got a 50hp boost!

    Three speed shifting problem

    I have an M998 with the three speed transmission. I can manually shift it with no issues through all 3 gears. However when I put it in drive, it feels like it starts in second and then shifts to third at around 10mph. So its never really in the power band. I also feel like the accelerator...

    What does this engine tag mean?

    I'm not sure how to interpret this tag. Did my humvee get a new/rebuilt engine on the 71st day of 2002? My humvee is an 87, but this NSN number apoarently didnt exist until 1990. So it seems like it got a new engine at some point. And how do I interpret that date code? It says 02071. Fwiw, the...

    Need help with Packard connectors

    Just ordered some of these: https://eriksmilitarysurplus.com/rushcoq10ms3.html Also I emailed them beforehand and they confirmed that they are definitely for 12awg. We shall see when they come in!

    Need help with Packard connectors

    I assume just the conductive part of the wire. On the ones I received, the hole is way too small to fit even the conductor through.

    Need help with Packard connectors

    Looks like this would be the one: https://eriksmilitarysurplus.com/rushcoq10ms3.html Weird thing is, the picture looks EXACTLY like what I received. The hole in that washer looks too small to fit a 12awg wire through.

    Need help with Packard connectors

    The first link is for 14awg, not 12awg. The second link, the ebay one. That's the listing I bought. Seller is kind of an ass.

    Color filled AM General lettering on tailgate

    Yep. The tape bends around curves well. For the really tight curves I taped straight over them and then traced the letters out with a razor blade.

    What antenna do I need for 450MHz?

    Well I got the antenna and it looks great! Also swept it with the sitemaster. Looks like a great antenna at the specified range, and acceptable at 465mhz. @Milcommoguy

    Need help with Packard connectors

    Thanks everyone. I'm pretty sure I just got the wrong connectors. I contacted the seller and now he's accusing me of scamming him. :rolleyes: Some people. Anyone have a good source on actual 12awg packard connectors?

    Need help with Packard connectors

    I purchased some packard connectors for wiring up IR lights on my M998. I have some experience with connectors in general, but I've never used a packard connector before. The first thing I learned was that "male" and "female" are reversed on these (the connector with a female pin is considered...

    I'm seeing the same thing. Thanks to everyone in this thread for helping me with this, especially @Milcommoguy and @86humv
