    Readers HMMWV Rides

    The plywood in my M998 was redwood!. I replaced with good grade exterior and gave it 2 good coats of paint. Note the location of any welnuts so you can relace them. They are handy for holding ammo can racks, etc.

    Welcome from San Antonio(Shavano Park). I've got 4 of these trailers and think they are a great bargain with a lot of uses.

    HMMWV shakes bad

    My M998 rode much better with radials. It was like a different truck! I don't think you can give away the old bias plys!

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Replaced glass run and window seals on passenger side M1009. Second time but still took longer than I thought it would. Spraying lots of silicone on glass run does help with installation. Also found large mud dobber nest in door!

    I still order the old fashioned way: call and talk to a person. You might try that next time.

    Best way to charge or jump start HMMWV ?

    I use a 24 volt charger thru slave port to maintain.

    new M998 owner, ignition trouble, wait light never comes on, engine won't start

    The later boxes are backwards compatible. I just changed mine last week. Do not use a box made by Lau Industries...they have been known to start on their own and have burned-up some HMMWVs!

    1990 m998 grease fittings

    Looking at Lubrication Order dated 15 Oct. 1986 (Army LO 9-2320-280-12) I count 23 locations that call for GAA. Don't forget the pintle.

    Advise on value and anything else - 1986 HMMWV

    Can't tell for sure if H1. Is it 12 or 24 volt? H1s are much rarer ( around 12,000). Military production around 300,000, I believe.

    M998 12v winch??

    I believe I have seen new 24V Warn winches between 2,000 and 3,000 for complete kit.

    HMMWV parts prices

    Not quite the deal I thought. However $20.00 seats don't sound too bad if you can use them. I would gladly have paid that rather than prep and paint my old driver seat.

    HMMWV parts prices

    Sportsmans Guide dropped driver seats to $4.49 with, I think, free shipping! I know, who wants them. Wish they would get some of the more sought-after parts.

    smart box/controller replacement

    Completed installation of Nartron control unit and sensor. Worked fine: wait light came on, went off and started right up! Glow plugs no longer cycle 2-3 times after start-up. Guess I will keep old Prestilite box as a spare. My thanks to Retired war horses for advice.

    Old glowplug controller snapped off in crossover...

    After soaking junction with Kroil GPC came loose with minimal effort. No evidence of helicoil in cross-over threads.
