    What to do first??

    WELCOME to the SS forum!! Look very carefully at the data plate and make sure it matches the paperwork as I don't think the the A2 was being built in 1989, try to get any discrepancies taken care of right away. Very nice looking rig!!!

    Weird Noises from the front differential ( m998 Humvee)

    It also would not be a bad idea to jack up all 4 corners, one at a time using the jacking point on the lower control arms, that way the weight of the vehicle is still riding on the suspension, just enough to clear the tire from the ground, then push,pull each tire up and down and sideways...

    Weird Noises from the front differential ( m998 Humvee)

    All you can do is inspect everything, look for loose bolts on the caliper brackets, half shafts etc, push/pull on everything, look at the brake pads and lines. If you have not done so already change all the gear oil in the diffs and hubs, inspecting the magnetic drain plugs. Look for leaks or...

    6.5 Turbo Oil Pan Damage

    For some reason the cam chain broke, when it balled up at the bottom of the pan the crankshaft sprocket pushed it through the pan. That motor needs to come out, the Detroit is definitely an "interference" engine meaning if the cam gets out of time pistons will hit valves so on top of whatever...

    New Humvee Owner - Transmission question

    It looks like you still have brake light switch problems, maybe the new switch is not adjusted correctly, not sure that will fix the "issue" but need to get that taken care of first. there are two parts of the brake light switch, one for the brake lights and one for the transmission, you cannot...

    6.5 Turbo Oil Pan Damage

    WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!! The timing chain has gone amok, the crank pushed it through the bottom of the pan, you have some real serious engine damage as the cam is not turning so likely you have valve damage also at a BARE minimum. It is not going to run.

    Oil Cooler Bypassed?

    The 6.5L uses oil to cool the pistons (jets oil up into the bottom of the piston), this removes a large amount of heat from the engine via the oil, as a temp solution to be able to move it around the yard would be OK, hitting the road would not be advisable.

    HMMWV Soft Door Weather Seal

    You might be surprised, I have had some rather large and heavy radio equipment shipped over from the EU recently and it was not bad and it was fast! If you can find a dealer with a Fleabay account the shipping is even cheaper through their system.

    Question about rear condensers

    So according to this diagram the copper loop in the right condenser is not removed for dual condensers.

    Question about rear condensers

    OK, I see, thanks for showing me where it is!! Man I can see the dollar signs wheeling by like an old slot machine. I would have guessed they ran them in series like the civy dual condensers I have seen, they are running them parallel, interesting,,,,,

    Question about rear condensers

    It seems apparent that this loop on the right condenser would be removed to install the lines to the left condenser but at first glance these do not look compatible, one being threaded O ring and the other a flange mount? Or is this not the correct set of lines, I am having difficulty finding...

    Do you have any documentation or pictures of the spotlight being used?

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    I am curious if there is a non 16.5" tire/rim option that would be as close to stock as possible, I do not want them to stick out and do not need them any taller.

    4L80E Code 22 and 73

    None of the signals depend on ground, all the leads involved go directly to the TCM. It could be a lead problem or a device problem or a TCM issue but because he is getting codes it would be assumed the TCM is seeing ground.
