So over the weekend went to the beach for a cleanup, and did some playing. On the way home a couple times at low speeds (25mph or less) the truck developed a death wobble. Once I got stopped, then accelerated slowly, I didn't have an issue. Gunned it at a stoplight and had an issue, so pulled...

That is the biggest problem I have with all the current "smart" technology. It decreases the amount of attention required, and thus the operator never actually learns any skills. Back as a teenager I put my parent's F150 down a small embankment right outside of my high school. spun the tires at...

Cheap green conventional coolant. If all you have right now is plain water, you can pretty much run any diesel compatible coolant, but why not stick with what's cheap, works, and commonly available?

it's 1980's technology, and built to government contract, so expecting it to be anything else is dementia on the part of the buyer/user.

not sure about the tailgate armor, but the "supplemental armor" panels for the X-doors is only rated for shrapnel, not bullets. I have direct confirmation from a friend that they will stop 9mm rounds, but not to be trusted for anything faster/heavier The divot in his door panel from where he...

uparmored trucks have the "rollover" warning decal (that clearly states "Armored" on it) unarmored trucks, especially soft top trucks; the center of gravity is amazingly low for the size of tires and amount of ground clearance it has. Was parked next to a suburban over the weekend that was...

They have several variants depending on what you want to do with it. Personally I installed the ruggedized frame mount version which is just a little stronger case. https://xm381.com/ Then my thread involving installing the hitch, brake controller, and converter box...

There are a few of us owners in Western Washington that would be able to give some advice and help from time to time, but no shops that specialize in them. RWH is the shop to send it to if you want someone that knows what they are doing to go through it for you.

To have the same power output at 12V you cut the amps in half at 24V. Amps times Volts equals Watts. 12V 10 amps is the same as 24V 5 amps. That's just the power ratings though. It doesn't directly correspond to the power being used in things like switches and relays and whatnot. You can...

A lot of "truck won't start" stories on here begin with "I installed a keyed switch" It's probably the number one modification that causes issues. Definitely remove it and go back to the stock switch. The keyed ones won't hold up to the amps being put through it. If you are lucky the switch...

Yes, there is a difference between the two. The M998A2 has heavier suspension and drivetrain parts. M998 and M998A1 drivetrain uses either 7.7k or 10.3k rated halfshafts. The M998A2 12k halfshafts use a different size spline end going into the hubs. Also as noted above the ball joints...

I agree. About the only thing I see is if there are plans to convert the motor to something else in the future.

just an extension, press fit no set screw if it's the same as on my M1123 I ended up having to use a couple of rolling head pry bars to get them off of mine.

The date should be stamped into the block just behind the passenger side cylinder head, visible from the passenger seat with the doghouse removed.

GEP didn't come out until around 2000 or so, so this won't be one of them. Here's how to tell the difference between 6.2 and 6.5 easily...

the wiper motor seems to be the biggest hurdle from what I've seen in other threads/pages

pretty much every HMMWV ends up going through a reset/rebuild at some point. They have a large amount of money to spend bringing the truck back to reset condition, and even if it doesn't need anything they still do all of the major wear items like engine and transmission. I'd be a lot more...

For someone that isn't as familiar with the manuals, then search function can save time. For someone that actually understands the manuals and uses them regularly, not so much. in this regard, many things are easier with paper manuals as you can mark or highlight the pages you look at...

There is a serial number break where the trucks with serial number under 196900 use a different power steering pump and serpentine belt setup (and other some other things as well maybe, but those are the ones I am familiar with) than the trucks after 196900. Then occasionally you get the post...
