Trying to figure something out...first of all I'm referring to the hood seals that go on the top edge of the hood, towards the bottom of the windshield. My truck has 2 seals, but they dont quite meet in the middle. There is an approx 12" gap between them that allows water into the valley of the...

I'm thinking about making my own chicken plate and mount setup (possibly ballistic or just for show, I'm undecided). Does anyone know the dimensions of the 4 mounting holes in the universal pintle adapter? (Shown below)

Wonder how this will affect HMMWV production/parts availability? https://www.defensenews.com/industry/2023/02/10/am-general-unseats-oshkosh-to-build-joint-light-tactical-vehicle/

I searched and couldn't find an answer to this question...but is it normal that the dash lights do not illuminate my 80 MPH speedometer? Is there supposed to be an internal light in the speedometer itself? At night I can see all my gauges except the speedometer.

Well I thought I had a temperature sender problem, but now I think I have a thermostat problem. Symptom: temp gauge never moves Troubleshooting steps: 1. Connected sender input on gauge to ground. Needle goes full scale, indicating that the gauge is likely not bad. 2. Measured sender ohms to...

I'm posting this in case it helps someone else. When I got my M1151 from gov planet it was listed as "AC compressor doesnt engage." To my surprise the compressor worked fine, but it only blew cold for the rear AC. The front AC blew at ambient temperature, gradually getting hotter as the vehicle...

I looked in the TM's and googled the issue but couldnt find an answer. My M1151a1 was received from govplanet with the alternator not fully bolted in. I'm trying to add the last bolt, but the problem is that I cant get enough slack out of the belt to move it into position. Is there some other...

Anyone know where to purchase real CARC paint? Sherwin Williams is giving me the run around, and MilSpray told me they cannot sell CARC to civilians.

I've searched the TM for 2B and 2C but got zero results. I also searched this website and google, but found nothing. I have 2 wires dangling under the hood, labeled 2B and 2C. One is male and one is female (I think?). They are part of the same wiring harness with no other wires, and they run...

I received my Yermo m1151a1 yeserday. It's a runner, so I had to start it immediately to drive it off the car hauler truck. I also had it running for maybe 10 minutes in my driveway just testing things out, checking the AC compressor, gauges, etc. The engine runs and sounds normal to my...

So I bought some of the fiberglass doors that West Kentucky Surplus makes. I've been looking at these for awhile, because in my opinion they are the only reproduction X-doors worth buying. They appear to be an exact (or close to exact) reproduction of the original X-door, even having...

Since I've gotten my M998 I've noticed the accelerator pedal is pretty stiff. It ends up making the engine feel underpowered because you really have to jam on the pedal to get decent acceleration. I've already checked and lubricated all the linkages at the top of the engine (sorry don't know...

Just wanted to post some pics of a set of x doors I recently restored. I don't know what I'm doing and there was a ton of trial and error, but in the end I think it turned out pretty good. I got some really beat up X doors for cheap on ebay. The two rear doors were pretty good except for some...

I need to order a complete set of windows for some X doors I just purchased. It looks like Federal Military parts has a set of 4 "laminated glass" for $289, or a set of 4 "bullet resistant polycarbonate" for $349. I don't beleive that 3/8" polycarbonate will stop ANY bullet, but I'm sure it will...

Now that it's starting to get cold (in the 30's), I noticed my 6.2L starts really rough. It starts up almost instantly, but sounds like it's not firing on all cylinders, actually shaking the vehicle for about the first 30 seconds. Eventually it smooths out and otherwise runs fine. I have no...

Was driving at night today, pitch black, and my headlights flickered when I hit a bump. About 20 seconds later, they went out completely. I toggled the headlight switch on and off a bunch of times but they would not turn back on. I didn't think of trying to switch to high beams, so I never tried...

I have an M998 with the three speed transmission. I can manually shift it with no issues through all 3 gears. However when I put it in drive, it feels like it starts in second and then shifts to third at around 10mph. So its never really in the power band. I also feel like the accelerator...

I'm not sure how to interpret this tag. Did my humvee get a new/rebuilt engine on the 71st day of 2002? My humvee is an 87, but this NSN number apoarently didnt exist until 1990. So it seems like it got a new engine at some point. And how do I interpret that date code? It says 02071. Fwiw, the...

What do you guys think? I'm pretty happy with it.

I purchased some packard connectors for wiring up IR lights on my M998. I have some experience with connectors in general, but I've never used a packard connector before. The first thing I learned was that "male" and "female" are reversed on these (the connector with a female pin is considered...
