Wow..that was impressive.

But even with a bad PCB shouldn't it still crank? I have a bad PCB and bad plugs, but it would still turnover. If it's not turning over at all, maybe something else has come undone.

What about engine block heaters? Do you (or others reading this) plug their HMMWVs in overnight, or during really cold temps?

Was bored, so I gave it a bath.... I was sitting on the porch staring at the beast, and figured I would get a little exercise and give it a good wash. Then I couldn't resist doing the tire shine just for kicks. It was a nice day, so thought I would capture it all with a few pics.....

This upcoming winter will be my first as a M998 owner. Currently, the beast is parked in my driveway when not in use. While I am exploring getting an indoor spot, I was curious what other owners do if they store their HMMWV outside in the winter. This is also my first diesel, so I'm not...

Same here...I moved the passenger side mirror forward and look at it through the front glass. Otherwise, you will have to move it so close to the passenger door that it will get hit all the time with the passenger door.

I've let it sit a couple of days, and the still haven't noticed the light coming on.

Is it typical when it's really warm for the light to not come on? It's been 80's and 90's where I am at, and I haven't noticed the light ever coming on. I've only owned the thing since late June, so it's never been cold weather here yet.

back out the bolt....just a little...one more quarter turn...wait for the trickle....BOLT IS OUT!!!! 1 pint filled immediately, GET THE BOLT BACK ON!!!! Hand covered, fluid down to elbow, bolt in, whipe tricep before shirt is ruined...job done!!!! math on removal....1 pint in cup + ground +...

I have the 3speed, and 1-2 is easily felt..seems sorta of a harder shift. 2-3 is really smooth...like said above, almost unnoticeable.

HA! Thanks. I might just back it out slowly, and capture the trickle. I added one quart, and the trans level went from ADD to way over....I won't do that again..next time I will add in 1/4 quart increments.

My M998 is a 1987, and I have the 3 speed transmission. I may have overfilled the transmission, and wanted to know the best way to take a bit out. I've seen some reports that my transmission doesn't have a drain plug, but when crawling underneath, I think I see a drain plug. 1) is the...

Action: I'm just a newbie, and a self reported mechanical midget, but I am fairly smart in other areas, and I ask lots of questions, just so I better understand things. I get that creating two loops is simple, and probably the way I will go. But I wanted to be see if there were alternatives...

Here are pics of my Transfer Case There are 3 pics...the front, the back, and then I've included one that shows the cooling lines running into the transfer case. For the by pass, I think I understand, making a U-turn with a hose between the two lines. What I am less understanding is what...

BH: I'm learning real quick what the HMMWV stands for. I owned it only 9 days when the starter took a crap, necessitating a tow and rebuild. Now the t-case issue. Having said that, it's still all good......I love driving it, and even looking at the thing in my driveway. Plus my 18 and 16...

I have an 1987...and I'm pretty sure it's a 6.2. I'm not sure about which transfer case since it's not original and has been replaced...but even if it's not a 218 it still appears to be a vampire. To be crystal clear on the bypass....I will have two u-turns, right? One u-turn for the...

The 1/2" below the fill plug is per the TM, it's not what I want. Others have said you put your finger in and the level should just be down a bit, like 1/2 way to your first nuckle. I listened to you in the other thread....never said you were wrong....I was just hoping and crossing my...

I should say, that was always on level ground when checking both transmission and transfer case levels, AND I did shut the vehicle off before I checked the transfer case.

I have a few questions...I know some might be really dumb, but fully admit to being a mechanical midget. 1) Checking the transmission fluid: Per the manual that I read, you're supposed to do this while the engine is running...it says something like start the engine, put your foot...

A few reasons, it might not be the Vampire issue..... I wasn't 100% on flat ground when I checked the levels. The transfer case was recently replaced, so seals might not have been installed properly, and the installer could have overfilled the system (which I think he did). All that being...
