    M998 Half Shaft Rebuild

    i am more concerned about the Rotor side having "extra" pleats and potentially "rolling over" the clamp. if so, the E Bracket will tear the boot. For now, just wanted to pass along that the universal boots can be assembled. it is possible the funnel method would have worked, but the...

    M998 Half Shaft Rebuild

    Final Install with Universal Boots. I will say, the Universal Boot to Housing and Axle had more clearance than i would like. I was able to get the band clamps to have the boot "tight" to metal axle and housings. but if doing a lot of very dusty or water, could be an issue. i will also add...

    M998 Half Shaft Rebuild

    Amazon just arrived with Universal Boots. They come with band clamps and grease. Can also get on Rock Auto and other. I bout a $70 Boot Expander. So for a $100~110 on the first go around. But i assume i have three more coming, worth while. I need to grease up and cinch up band clamps...

    M998 Half Shaft Rebuild

    7k are 0.94" | 3.5" (both ends) 10K are 1.1" | 3.6~3.75" the strap clamp can make up some, but they are definitely different. Summit and Rock have same MFG and PN. I may see if the housing mentioned above will work to salvage my stock unit. worth a shot and i bought boots. i cannot see that...

    M998 Half Shaft Rebuild

    I may buy one as a JIC to have. This is the second axel in a year that the boot has torn. i don't mind the rebuild, its fairly quick, but the pressed retainer is a PITA. Likely attack it from multiple angles. I can buy a Housing for $125 and add 2 boots and still less than NOS. but do...

    M998 Half Shaft Rebuild

    I see them on RockAuto for $77 + shipping. I also ordered universal boots, will try the expander over the portal end. The stock 7700# boots (4 pleats) are thick and a no go. I also have the 10k boots which are thinner. I can get the entire 10k housing (Item 12 in the TM) for $125. NOS are...

    M998 Half Shaft Rebuild

    I have a 7,700# truck and the half shafts have the pressed ring to hold together the Rotor End Housing. Unit is in good working order but the Dust Boot tore. I have had no luck getting boot(s) 5705605/5705606 over the portal end even with an expander tool. Has anyone tried to get the...

    HMMWV - Rear Seat Supports (12339047 / 12446966 / 12446967)

    I am in the process of upgrading to bucket seats. The older style 12339047 have two retention plates to secure the Support to the vehicle. However these will cause issue when moving to the new seats because of the bolt pattern. I believe the seats will be part of kit 57k3196 or 57K3197 (TM...

    ANY INFORMATION ON INSTALLING SERIES 18 WINCH IN A 1165a1

    Planning on 2AWG from battery to front quick connect. Depending on wire routing, maybe 0AWG to the rear. I just don't know why they use 16AWG to the remote since current is low and voltage drop likely not significant enough to cause issue. I do agree with durability and reliability, a lot to...

    ANY INFORMATION ON INSTALLING SERIES 18 WINCH IN A 1165a1

    I recently purchased a Series 18 from a gentleman in MD. He bought several and was selling them. If you look at Federal Military Part, they have kits to install a 2" receiver to non winch bumper. then you have a winch plate to mount and install on front (or rear) of HMMWV. I want this set up...

    External 24 VDC Battery Maintaining Station Project

    I had an issue where after extended periods of sitting, the truck wouldn't kick over (click/click). One battery was at 12.8v and the other near 11.6v. I purchased the NOCO 26000 on Amazon. For the price differential, why not go to the most amperage charger and one that does both 12 and 24v...

    M35A3 CTIS problem

    A bit late to conversation, however, is the tire losing pressure with the CTIS activated or while in storage? I have recently had issue with the CTIS wheel valve where it dumped the air from a rear while underway. I could not manually inflate the tire. Air would go back thru CTIS system and...
