Good question. I'm not an electronics tech - but I've build and rebuilt a few ham radios and amps over the years among other projects. I can read circuit tracings and troubleshoot and solder with the best of 'em, but I think you might want to direct that question to Guyfang, he's a generator...

5406s have slightly better peak voltage handling and blocking (i.e. - less likely to sacrifice itself for transient, non-harmful voltage spikes). See PDF attached. I had some MOVs (V14201U) on hand from another project and will get one installed this afternoon when it gets into the 40s outside.

Ouch. Bought mine from Hummerpartsguy just before new years for $490 delivered, box AND temp. sensor. Wish I'd done that months ago. Truck DID need new glowplugs though, so that's out of the way too. Engine fires on about half a turn now, 20 degrees outside even. Smooth running. Keeping...

My dad used to share this "bar joke": which weighs more, a pound of gold, or a pound of feathers? Answer's obvious if you're sober and think about it, but the real answer is, would you rather have a pound of gold or a pound of feathers dropped onto your head?

YUGE regional market differences as well. Before buying locally I spent months on this site and others including the evil auction sites and craigslist and GP looking into prices (I even called a dozen or so sellers before and after they sold) and I found sales after government sales easily...

Thanks for pointing that out, Mike. I adjusted it after the initial install for that exact reason, just didn't take a picture.

Got the heater working. BEAUTIFUL weather today, figured, hey, couple hours and I'll go for a ride. Um... yeah, five hours later, including a quick trip to ACE hdwr for new rubber grommets and some hose clamps (went ahead and replaced all the 5/8 hose while I was doing it), replacing the...

After poking around my Humvee for a couple days, it occurred to me I was going to need a LOT of bolts. Or WANTED to replace a lot of them. And washers. And use nylon locknuts on many of them. Amazon has amazing prices on 100-count lots of zinc chromate finished parts and, compared to the big...

THAT's reassuring. There's a data plate on the engine referencing a rebuild (I forget exact verbiage) at Ft. Lewis, WA from, IIRC, 2005. It's one of the things that sold me on buying the beast. Not that I'm still not going to drain and replace fluids (I have all the cooling system hoses, just...

Well, yeah, but will it fit my truck? That's the $100-plus ($30 + S&H) question. IF there's a newer part number, is the part you referenced THAT part, or won't I know until I actually drop the thing, see what I've got, and THEN order all the parts? Okay, found a cross-reference line here in...

Thanks, I'll keep you in mind if it turns out I actually need to replace the tank. NB

Ausgezeichnet! Recht vielen Dank für Ihre verständnis. SOMEHOW, I got the idea, maybe from the title (I'm going to have to look later) what I owned was an M998. D'oh! Meanwhile, several months have gone by, and, thanks to you, I'm the proud new owner of: Truck, Utility, CGO/TRP CARR, 1-1/4...

So far as I can tell, yes, I have the second type. Pkg brake goes to rear discs. That said, the second part of my question and the most important, is HOW does one track these things down? Which manual, which TM says "this tank for this truck with brakes that go like this" and so on? So I can...

topic: 1992 M998 fuel tank. Leaking. project: drop tank, replace gaskets. Maybe put an armor plate on the bottom of the tank. Maybe replace the tank. Thing in there is what, blown polyethylene with some stabilizers added, 25 or more years ago? Crunch the numbers for the cost for parts vs...

Guy I bought mine from did a pretty good job hosing/pressure washing out the truck, replacing the hood and doing some general painting, but the more I get into it, what's up with all those pick axe holes in the floor? Looks like they had DoD-approved patches made but there's a couple of 'em...

Got the dash panel LED upgrade done and, while I was at it, installed the poosh-button lightswitch. Took a little time to ensure I had as good a ground as I could get using a 1/4-20 bolt through the dash - I'd already installed the Kascar grounding kit, testing my ground out with a test light...

Came upon this issue when trying to read the instructions - copy of a copy of a second generation copy thereof, at best - included with the high back seat upgrade. Ditto the hand throttle accessory kit. I have a high-resolution laser printer/copier at work, but even tinkering with...

Thanks. Just going by what was said in the photo. And, apparently, I'm misreading the "sender unit gasket" verbiage as main plate, cover or whatever the nomenclature is for the big square gasket. This is like a Berlitz language school intensive. Not having a truck on hand with a dropped tank...

Put in a brand-new S3 PCB and sender. Another HMMWV ten minute project that turned into over an hour as one of the riv-nuts came loose instead of the bolt. I had to pull out the dremel tool with cutting discs and take the bolt head off in three pieces. Made sure all connections had some...

Much appreciated. Dimensions are one of the things I'm wondering about myself. The PS mag cartoon for the kit says one can change the top gasket AND sender from the port, and from pictures I've seen over on g503, it's only ab out 7x9". I'm hoping to make one at least 12x12, with supports, and...
