I’m looking for a set of green seat cushions for the rear seats in an M998. There are some on eBay but they want a fortune for them, then high shipping on top. Any help would be appreciated?
In a previous thread, I was commenting on Desert Tan 686 FS33446 (which I mistakenly called Desert tan 383), being too peachy or pinky. I noticed some new parts I had ordered, such as door rails, were definitely painted from the manufacturer in a sand color other than 33446. Looking through the...
I've painted several humvees and an M923 with the Behr Marquee Federal Standard 383 tan code. I feel it's accurate to the color, but find that it is a little pinky or peachy compared to the tan tops and doors. The older equipment seemed to be a little sandier or browner in color and I think it...
Due to a failed generator in a 1986 Humvee, I've decided to install a self-exciting alternator in it's place. Other than the ground, the original generator has 3 wires, two small and one large. One small wire has a bullet connector (as far as I can tell this is the signal wire to charge), the...
I’ve got a canvas back wall for a 4 man M998 that is green, but I’d like to use it with my tan top. Is there a common box store spray paint on the market that is very close to the original tan canvas color? I’d probably use a product like krylon fusion for the first coat, to bite into the...
I’m looking for a new, or good used 4 man soft top and rear curtain in Tan. I’m in Canada and there are no vendors here that I know of. Any ideas on best source that would ship to Canada?
I’ve got a fuel pump on my 88 humvee that I suspect is weak (no 9 psi at bleeder). I am unable to get the pump with the third port on it for the vent line. At least at the moment, I’m here in Canada and some things are really hard to come by. From what I can see an 86 Chevy 6.2 L fuel pump...
I have a 1988 M998, on which I installed a ford style relay and push button manual controller. Has been working great but recently wouldn’t start. Turns out all glow plugs were non-functional with a resistance test. I installed a new set of 24V plugs from Kascar, they worked excellent for a...
I'm looking to convert a 2 door Humvee to a 4 door and am in need of a top, back wall, c-pillar and door rails, new or used. I see prices all over the place on eBay and Craigslist, but there must be some parts dealers that are better than others too. Any input is appreciated.
I recently completed my 3 color camo (383 green, brown, black) M923, and it turned out wonderful. I'm considering camoing my tan truck as well, leaving the fresh tan paint in place of where green would be, and using the same black and brown for the camo patterns. Had anyone done this, or are...
I've got a leaking ctis seal on one of my hubs on the back axle of my 91 M923a2. Which seal do I need? Is there a seal other than the regular axle seal in a normal rear end? There are some on ebay, not sure which ones I need.
I'm puzzled how my M923a2 wheel valve assemblies can allow deflation to run in sand mode, yet protect the tire from deflation when a supply line to the axle is removed or damaged?
i have an axle seal that is leaking air, so I removed the line going to that particular wheel, at the axle. I...
M923a2 rear axle seal part # please
My ctis issue turned out to be a left rear axle seal leaking. Does anyone have a part number for these, that I could order one through my local semi truck part store? Thanks.
I've got a 1991 M923a2 to pick up. I was going to change out the passenger windshield glass for the trip home, as it has taken a good stone. Does anyone know the dimensions and thickness so I can get one cut before pulling it? Thanks.
As my closest Home Depot is over 2 hours away here in Canada, I'm looking to try a Benjamin Moore paint. If anyone has any color codes for 1991 3 color camo, and desert tan, I would greatly appreciate them. Also what BM product you chose. Thanks.
Please help. I'm going down to get behr marquee for my 91 m923a2. If I give them the federal standard codes, I understand they should have no problem matching. When I was there last, 2 days ago, I gave them the green 34094 federal standard code, they told me different #'s than I have seen on...
