    Red Dot A/C in Soft Top HMMWV

    Let me add, the ones I have seen in HMMWV's blow cold as ice....they just take up a lot of room. Also, as the OP mentioned, that's not the standard config for a soft top install.

    they do....it's the OEM A/C, the red dot is not OEM to the HMMWV. it fits in any M series vehicle.

    Replace the engine harness, as I ove said in nemrous posts, these can/will and do cause lots of issues. while you may fine the actual culprit in the harness plug, I don't play aroumd with intermittent shorts...they have a habit of cropping up when you don't want them, or better yet, causing...

    Overturned HMMWV in NJ, stay safe folks

    I'm not quite sure what kind of protection anyone thinks would be provided by the A, B and C pillar of a rag top M998. the strongest point is the B-pillar...the Windshiled frame is held in place with 5 pins on aluminum leaf hinges, and forget about the C-pillar....that's just to hold up the rear...

    Repainting HMMWV with Home Depot BEHR Paint

    The latex looks good, and it holds up well....but that's not why I personally don't use it, mine is originality. and body work or sanding later on...I have used latex on trailers with good results, but I didn't care about the trailer as it was a working trailer. Pressure washing almost any paint...

    Slant back suggestions

    The trucks I finish are 100k trucks...m998 or not as a starting point, you can't tell the difference in mine. done right, there is no way to tell if it started life as an M998 or m1025/6. but I also only do 6.5TD, 4L80E etc on the driv train. the Devils in the details....and those details cost...

    SF-97 Gov Planet to stop providing them ?

    Let me add, whom ever is selling Govt vehicles is bound to issue a bill of sale and SF97. Far to many states require the SF97 to get title for "Off road use". A title proves ownership, it's a legal document.

    Transmission question when swapping from 6.2l to 6.5l.

    You need a few more things than that folks. Like drive shafts, brake switch, trans relay, circuit breaker, trans X member.

    MWO meaning

    or most likely the Pvt scribed a 5 instead of a 2.....but many MWO's are not done at the unit level, but done at reset, or teams of civilians go from unit to unit and do them. I've witnessed first hand back in the 80's all my units MUTTS and m35A2's getting SLEP's applied...in the case of the...

    Master Cylinder & Alternator Difference

    Pics are of old 100amp and newer 200 amp, and the MC's are 10k MC and the larger is for 12k setup. in order to use that 12k MC, you need to change out the hydrobooster as well, the 2 front studs are a little farther apart, so the 10k and 12k won't play with each other. You can install the newer...

    M998 Fan cycling on/ off before reaching temp

    Got nothing to due with T-stat...the fan system is hydraulic and controlled by 24v's. replacing the thermostatic switch is a good start...because that switch is what sends or cuts off the 24v to the TDM based on the temp. A little side note, not sure when your fan is engaging during the time...

    Hub Removal/Replace

    I wouldn't want to be in an m1078 at 70mph...I get this very question weekly about HMMWV's, how can I make it go fast...these trucks were not designed for speed. They were designed for convoy speed and keeping up with tracked vehicles in various terrains. In the fist gulf war, the M1 Abrams and...
