    M998 U-Joint cross overs

    I had a drive shaft break and replacing parts. The cap on the front shaft that comes out of the front diff and is in the Center support bearing lost a cap, so I'm looking to replace it. Searing on ebay comes up with a 5-174x spicer. However, on my u-joint, one side has B7, the other side 151...

    M998 Transfer Case removal

    Has anybody tried getting the transfer case out without dropping the fuel tank? I've got a hole in the transfer case in the truck, I've been debating whether to try and epoxy the hole or pull it out and swap it with another I just got. It looks like it would probably be tight but 50/50 as to...

    Any idea of where to find the 2 hard lines coming out of the transfer case?

    As I posted in some other threads I had a drive shaft break. I finally got in on the lift today and it wrapped around 2 of the hard lines coming out of the transfer case and look like they go over the top of the transmission. I'm going to dig around on ebay and probably post in the parts...

    Welding a small hole in a NP242 Transfer case

    To me it looks like Aluminum but would like to verify. The hole is not bad and it's in a corner as you can see in the picture. I was going to pull it but have it up on my lift and now contemplating on trying to weld it without pulling it out. (I've purchased a replacement in case I can't get...

    Jeep NP 242 in a M998?

    I broke a drive shaft and towing it out, put a hole in the transfer case. I've got some others in vehicles I'm going to do restores on down the road but looking for other ways to get this fixed as I drive this one. Looking on epay, I see some Jeep 242's that look pretty similiar? Has anybody...

    FYI. GovPlanet no longer allows partial payments on items $5k+

    The short version, you can't make $5,000 partial credit card payments on GovPlanet anymore for anything with a value over $5k The comical long version. On a whim I bid on a LMTV because nobody was bidding on them. I think this is my 11th vehicle through them and I always pay with CC because...

    Fan not cutting on

    I've got my second Hmmwv out of 5 so far that the fan doesn't kick on at 215 or whatever. The only things that effect this are the temp sensor in the water cross over, the Time Delay Module and the Cadillac valve, correct? If I unplug the connection to the TDM, then the fan comes on and stays...

    Wait light problem

    This is a new unit to me I've just started going through. Odometer reads 1100 miles and it seems like it just came out of service. Fluids are clear, wipers are new, runs good etc. I just noticed that the wait light has never came on. It starts fine, runs fine. So today I installed new glow...

    Think before saying an "easy search" or "look in a Tm".

    First I've been on chat rooms, forums etc since 1992. I've worked for Microsoft and presently a software developer. I've been in the MV hobby for a year now. In speaking with people, some get turned off from these sites because when they ask a question, they get chastised or ridiculed by...

    M939 Axle Nut questions

    I've been searching an hour and haven't found anything specific to the M939. I've got a bolt broke of in the axle hub and need to get it off to take it to a machine shop and get it out. A tape measure shows the outer nut at 4.5" I'm not sure what the larger, inner one is. Does anybody know...

    5 ton Axle questions

    I'm changing axle housings on a couple of 5 ton axles. Looking for part #'s for the "axle hub" gaskets for each side. (I'm hoping to find these at a parts store.) I took the bolts out to pull the axle shafts out and the gaskets came apart. I haven't got the axle housing lifted off but...

    MP2225 Transfer cases

    It's hard to find these and I just happened across 3 of them. They have connections for glycol cooling. Just curious as to what they are worth. I have 4 of them now and I'm probably going to sell or trade a couple of them. Also I've got one mated to a 6.5 turbo I'm going to install. It's...

    M1038 Mile Marker winch troubleshooting

    I think it's a 1038, but just got it home. I ordered some winch controls and plug them in and nothing. I've played with the levers on the winch and can't get it to free wheel. I haven't found the manuals. Posting this to see if there is something simple to these I'm missing. The remote hook...

    5 Ton combat wheel bolt up beadlock install

    I piggy backed another thread about beadlocks. I'm bobbing a truck and going with a locker in the rear. I run relatively low air pressures so I'm going to try beadlocks in the rear. I purchased some Hutchinson beadlocks that have 4 bolts. Has anybody installed these? I'm looking for any tips...

    Has anybody made or found a 24v tow light?

    I've got an M998 and 2 M105 trailers I'm trying to figure out how to pick up in one trip. One thought is to load a trailer in the back of my 923, then hook a tow bar to M998 and then one of the trailers to the back of it. (Providing I can release the brakes without air.) If I go that way I'm...

    I strongly recommend you don't put your SSN on the EUC and email or mail it

    I'm on my second Hmmwv transaction and the first I had my wife send in the paperwork. This time I went through it and noticed them asking for a SSN. I put the last 4 and asked them to call if they needed the rest. The GovPlanet rep would not call and said all the data had to be typed in...

    Has anybody else had issues with GovPlanet misplacing your wire transfers?

    This is the 3rd time since last year I've purchased military surplus from GovPlanet. They limit you to $5k per transaction to a credit card and force you to wire the rest. EVERY single time I've wired the balance, it NEVER posts. I start getting the friendly reminders that I have 3 days to...

    Removing front left body mount?

    Starting work on a M1026 I'm going to paint and do an engine swap on. Trying to get the body off first, then take the engine out. (Not going to try and pull the engine out the front.) Bolts are rusted. I can get a wrench on the bottom nut but can't get enough pressure on it to break it...

    Hmmwv rear brake calipers

    Noticed one of my calipers leaking this morning. It's the right rear and has the emergency brake built in. The rubber sleeve around the piston appears to be where the leak is coming from. The question is, has anybody taken a shot at trying to rebuilt one of these calipers? If so where did...

    Spray gun tip size for Carc?

    I'm shooting some of my vehicles and doors. I got a Husky HVLP kit from HD. It did a pretty good job but the pattern is about 1/2 of what I expect. The guns come with 1.4 tips. I think I need a 1.9. (I'd like to try a larger tip without thinning it first.) Curious as to the size tip others...
