Finally got the fan clutch installed. I decided to put the quick connect on it. I also replaced the Cadillac Valve. I don't know if there was anything wrong with mine but it was pretty rusty on the solenoid and I can't see going through all this to leave it there. Previously replaced...

I added locking shackle's today. I should have added them 3 days ago but I'm always late.

Not enough info. What engine, 6.2, 6.5, 6.5 GEP? Any "accessories"? What setup is it, 2 man, 4 man, hard top? Do you have any pictures?

Checking another project off the list. I'm very happy with the way they came out. I'm glad I had to make the panels because I like the way they fill the entire area between the doors and are the same height as the rear doors. The originals are about 3" shorter overall and leave a large gap at...

Made a pigtail for the tach. I'm using a signal generator from a different military truck that uses a mechanical tach (I believe). This will allow me to retain the original one to later be used for a TCM for a 4L80 upgrade without needing to splice wire.

Finished the lights on the rear today. New light buckets for the side marker and tail lights. Added the reverse lights, not functional yet, I have to wire them still. Also replace the reflectors. Not sure if I want to leave the black or paint them green to match. I'm thinking green.

Pretty much anyone who knows anything at all about a Humvee knows it can be hotwired in seconds by reaching up under the dash. Locks and keys only keep honest people honest and do nothing to stop criminals. Watch lockpickinglawyer on youtube and you will never have faith in any keyed lock again.

Nope, I didn't win it or even bid. That went for way too much IMO. But I did see the lock. Here is another one with the same setup..

I've been trying every combination of words to search and nothing. Thanks. I've seen 2 Humvees with these for ignitions and I like it better than a regular key switch. More utilitarian. Kind of goes with the steering wheel lock :D

I'm trying to find a part number or any information about the locking ignition switch in the picture.

Interesting because I just bought the one with the light and it came with a sending unit specifically for that and it had a black rubber "boot" that I assume in the connector the wire plugs into. I guess I'll have to double check it ... Just looked it up online and the picture shows a gray boot.

All I can add is I have recently updated my temp gauge to a newer style and with it I had to replace the sending unit because they are different. They look the same but function differently. Make sure you have the correct sending unit for the gauge. I don't know how to tell the difference...

Stock is OK but I'd get a different driver seat, jus sayin.

About 2 years ago (page 5) I started mounting rear half doors. I prefer to call them cargo access doors. The cargo doors only have door latches that release from the outside. I suspect the reason they are shorter is to prevent them from being used as man doors since you can't open them from...

The update on that starts on page 7 post 138. I'm ready to bolt it on and continue. I think I have everything to put it all back together now. Except the actual AC lines and well the rest of the AC install. More on that to come. Moving on to the rear half doors next. I have about 5...

Money wise it's not too bad really. I thought I messed up the original clutch and I did damage the shaft but it turns out that it was beyond repair no mater what I did to it so I had to fix it regardless. Spending $200 on a used "good" clutch was going to happen anyway. I was lucky I had...

There are 3 bearings. 2 are sealed bearings and 1 caged bearing. The sealed bearings are the ones that were bad in the "good working" used clutch. The original clutch had great sealed bearing but the caged bearing was toast as you can see in the photo. Luckily I was able to use the sealed...

The question is do you NEED any of the updates? Do you NEED 12K shafts? Have you broken any of the ones you have now? I have a M998 and I NEED a 4 speed. Although I have no intention of driving it on a highway I do want to be able to drive on primary roads that have 55 mph speed limits...

Then I took the "good working" used pull apart and found the same caged roller bearing was not pressed in far enough and the seal was doing nothing. But at least it had been greased and was in good condition.. I was able to seat the bearing correctly. Then cleaned and regreased the caged...

Moving on, as I mentioned in a previous post I was having a difficult time getting the fan clutch to line up the bolts holes to remove the clutch from the water pump pulley. I applied 150 PSI and the clutch wouldn't release. I made a puller of sorts to release the clutch and that didn't work...
