    M998 A0 A1 A2?

    The A1 designation didn't start until 1994, so your trucks wouldn't be labeled as such.

    AM General parts website

    yes, A0 was made up. But then, so was everything else. At some point someone decided it was easier to call the previous generation "A0" rather than repeatedly saying "not A1" or "early version" Until WWII came along WWI was simply known as "the great war" or other such names. It wasn't until...

    AM General parts website

    yes, the standard is "if it's too good to be true, it usually is" applies to this. You can also do searches about the website itself, you will find most of the scam sites have unusual names and have only been established for a couple months at most. I'll stick with the big names in the game...

    AM General parts website

    3 windshield glass, an oil pressure gauge, and radiator cap. With the free shipping deal it came to about $140. I can't even get the glass locally for one piece for that (last quote I got was over $200 for one side) I did notice in my cart it's telling me that they don't have enough of some...

    Mystery Dash Switch in 1986 M998

    Some people don't like hearing it go back and forth between fan on and off due to the change in noise level, but other than that I don't see any reason.

    Helmet Top

    certainly more weather proof than a soft top, and more secure, plus has some rooftop load capability (500 lbs for mine) Af for is it worth it, that is a personal opinion. I don't use my hard top (tall version) because I put an EOD body on my truck. The hard top is a little harder to change...

    M1123 Front Seat Belt (Lap and Shoulder)

    Mine had sand in them.I had the same type of issue, not worn but had enough sand/grit in them to keep them from working. Managed to clean one of them up without damaging the plastic retainer inside too much, but replaced the other. I checked my ebay history, part number I ordered the shoulder...

    AM General parts website

    So the consensus seems that the AM General site is great for items you want to have on hand, but not so much for ones you need in a hurry.

    HMMWV M998 Defroster Cable Search

    if you do a search by the NSN and go to PARTTARGET or another site like that it will show you all of the manufacturer part numbers under that one NSN. If you can't find it under the part number in the book, sometimes it will show up under one of the other manufacturer part numbers

    200A 24V/12V Alternator Question

    Hopefully it's just not seeing a 12V battery is the only issue. At least with a troubleshooting guide you can say it's definitely bad when it fails, as opposed to wondering and throwing more parts at it.

    TVI FIRST RESPONSE SHELTER

    Paperwork says 2, but I managed it by myself in only a few minutes, not counting unbagging it and laying out the groundcloth.

    TVI FIRST RESPONSE SHELTER

    So I bid on and won a tent at auction labeled only as "extendable modular tent" on govplanet last week. Turns out it's not likely to be military surplus, but thought I'd share it here anyway. Thought from the size it might be a small DRASH or Base-X but nope, neither of those. Turns out to be...

    Sealing washer pump grommet

    I like the Lexel or Dap clear sealant. They make a good seal, even to wet surfaces, and unlike silicone they can be peeled off. I used it all around my windshield as well, both inside and out.

    Front differential/brake issues fixed

    So as some of you know, I had the bolt holding the brake caliper bracket back out of the differential and come into contact with the ends of the halfshaft bolts sticking through the rotor. Since I was down there anyway, I decided to take care of the oil leak I saw on that side of the...

    M1123 rear springs question...

    So all I would need is a set of the heavier springs? Just want to verify there isn't anything else I might not be aware of. EDIT: I'm thinking I should probably identify the springs that are currently installed before I go spending money to "upgrade" them.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    When in 2 man configuration I keep a scepter can or two in the rear passenger footwell area that is covered. Only place I can think to mount a fuel can holder if you are a soft top would be against the cargo divider in the center. You lose a little cargo space, but it doesn't interfere with...

    M1123 rear springs question...

    It was a USMC truck out of Yermo. As far as I could tell it had MAK armor (it was stripped down when I bought it and a lot of extra holes in the body, along with random bolts/brackets all over), and a 2010 rebuild.
