    S-280 shelter mounting

    Does anyone have the part number for the block assembly that goes in the troop seat pockets for tie downs on the S-280 shelter when its mounted in the cargo bed? I've read through the TM for the shelter and for the truck and cannot find any info on this. Thank you! Corey

    Fan setting issues

    Hi, My city has 2 HMMWVs and one came with a non-working fan system. Regardless of temp, the fan would never kick on. We changed the fan switch sensor in the crossover pipe, the cold advance sensor on the back of the passenger side head, and the time delay module. We also upgraded the start box...

    Fuel system trouble

    My city just received 2 1990 6.2 M998's. We have been going through them and getting everything up to par but keep having an issue. On both trucks when they are running and accelerator is pressed and let off suddenly (like you would do coming up to a stop sign) the trucks die and must be...

    Hi, I am toying with the idea of installing the 4l80e in my current 6.2/3l80 setup. this truck does have the 242 t case already from that MWO. I am aware of the drive shaft that need to be changed, shifter, linkages, TCM, etc. My question is on the rear driveshaft. I already have one PN...

    M998 to M1043 Build

    So I got this M998 from VA on GovPlant with the intentions of selling it. One of the people that came to look at it fell in love with my first hmmwv that I had put a lot of love and care into (i.e. ECV front end, 4 man, cargo divider, cargo cover, 24 bolt rims w/mtr, jw speaker headlights and...

    slant back gas struts

    Hi, I have what I hope is a quick question about gas struts used on the slant back hatch doors. The parts that I have are supplemental armor, sponsons and hatch (I think). I say I think because I bought this as a kit from a gentleman that had a lot of hmmwv items and I know for a fact that the...

    Steering column knocking

    So I have been driving my dads hmmwv around for a while (M998 1990year) and I had noticed a knocking noise coming from the steering when I would turn the wheel. I went digging for the source of the knocking and determined it was coming from the U-joint under the dash at the very end of the...

    VEE windows in a soft top windshield frame

    I think this a fairly new thought. I've seen people asking about this for various builds but not for a soft top. I know that these normally on up-armored trucks with like 4 pieces of armor behind the lip of the windshield frame. But in my simple mind it looks like it could be made to work with...

    MEP-806A question

    I am looking into getting a MEP-806A for an industrial application that would require 3 phase 480V. I can look up the specs on the 806 and see that it can produce 240/416 3 phase but it appears that it can be "tunned" up to reach 480V on the 60Hz side. Am I reading this correctly? Thank you, Corey

    Windshield glass question

    On the early trucks, not the newer heavily armored ones like m1114 and up, will the glass from the hardtop windshields work in a softtop frame? Like glass from a m1025 or m1045 in a m998 frame? And i am aware that the retainers from the m1045 supplemental glass would be thicker than the m1025...

    Question about building my hmmwv

    So I have a bit of a dilemma in regards as to how to build my dad's new hmmwv. It is a m998 on the data plate. However it has all of the holes, bolts, footman loops, rear bumper, and front winch to be a prime mover. I have asked this question over on g503 but I wanted to ask it here as well to...

    Upgrading a M998

    So I have been tossing around the idea of upgrading the drive line of my M998. What I have really been considering is if it good to just update the drive line to the 4l80e or jump in full blast and convert it over to a A2 series. I realize that if you go to an A2 from a A0 truck that its far...

    Basic and A1 armor questions

    Hello all, I have been looking through the 24P manual #1 on figure 267 about armor that mounts inside the body at the footwells and cowl sides. The manual is listing many part numbers for the same items. I'm curious as to why that is? for example item #19 is the front footwell armor but it...

    Need advice on a M105a2 frame and wheels

    I have a M105a2 frame with a s788 shelter mounted on top. My concern is that the wheels on the trailer are too close together and will cause a rollover. I need to get more space in-between the wheels of the trailer. I have considered flipping the rims on the trailer, as well as making them duals...

    S788 shortened shelter meets MEP 017a

    Hi everyone, I recently purchased a S-788 shortened shelter from GL. When I got it it was missing the MEP-903 generator that it should have had in the tunnel. My plans are to mount this shelter on a M105 frame I have and repower it with a smaller MEP-017a generator to be able to run the A/C...
