Hello,
I'm relatively new to this site, so go easy on me...lol
I bought a M998 a few months ago, it had some mechanical issues one of which was that the power steering pump had been partially removed...basically no belts and loose bolts. So I figured somebody was in the middle of changing out...
True, I started driving farm tractors early on, tractors actually have a left and right brake for this purpose.
But that's why in a HMMWV there is an option to lock the differential? I think it's the "L" selection on the left shifter?
Or does that only work while the automatic transmission is...
In my mind(The mind of the criminally insane):
1. I would use an infrared thermometer your gauge may be reading wrong.
2. All M998's have the aux clutchfan, I thought. Later versions, have differing belt configurations. All should have the clutchfan, I think. (I don't know of a HMMWV...
Bleeding the system will magically fix your problem [if you didn't also damage the pump from letting it run partially dry]. After doing work on the cooling fanclutch in my HMMWV, I had a pretty sizeable air pocket in my system. The power steering would squeal, was heavy-handed, and I'm sure...
Only the Delco 195° thermostat showed up by this afternoon. I siphoned out 1.5 gallons of coolant and pulled the 190° Murray unit. Though only used for 354 miles. It had a crack on top. I tested the new one on the stove. It opened at 193°.
A quick install and ready to test it out. Once fired...
Interesting. My HMMWV never gets above 190 degrees - and I've never heard that "loud" sound of the fan coming on - now I know why . . . Must be on all the time.
I'm going to check the clutch pack tomorrow. Where do I apply air to try to get everything to move? What psi?
Thx

Hello
I never thought I'd end up posting about a HMMWV, but that changed a couple months ago. I was surprised how just how much they had come down in price from the initial offering last spring. I ended up with this 1995 M998A1.
I wanted something that I could take the family out in, but the...
Shoot, I think white would be sweet looking. Not so common.

Yes, I haven't really read the -10 manual cover to cover.
What I have done is read all those posts before.
For the fan, I already have a switch wired into that so I can turn it on and off for Fording and what not.
In reference to #3 I read on another post that with just the snorkel and...
In regards to question #3 you should read the -10 TM . Your question makes it clear you never have read the operators TM or have a clue how to ford water.
probably should read these too.

To address the OP's first question: "I am thinking about getting a HMMWV, from auction, and would appreciate any information owners might share (like in the deuce sticky), or links to pertinent threads.
and, if nothing else, would you do it again? how did it work out long term? getting parts...
RWH, you're absolutely right. BLK HMMWV, I should never have responded to your post , not because you're correct, but because it would only serve to be inflammatory to someone I like and respect.
My apologies to the forum. I am considering removing my reply, not because I am wrong, but...
I purchased an 87 HMMWV last year and recently noticed during highway driving @ 50-55mph . It felt as if the engine would loose power . Engine temp appeared normal. First thought was the fanclutch. This one has a Hydraulic fan type. On this type of cooling fan, is it normal not to "free spin...
Here is a somewhat accurate listing of current items for sale preshow that I can deliver if purchased ahead of time. I am traveling fast and light so will only bring up what is purchased ahead of the show. If you see something you need please get with me to make an order and I can get you...
Reinstalled the clutchfan with Its quick release and tensioned the alternator belts. Also put in the dipstick tube for the transmission. Rest of the trans cooler stuff comes in whenever Mac Motors delivers. Found a large fleet shop that's going to modify both prop shafts for about $110...
