So... Yesterday I hit the start lever on my hmmwv while it was already running. I was goofing around driving off road in the dark of night with no lights on, and instead of turning the lights on, I hit the wrong lever and engaged the start lever for a few seconds. Now, of course, after turning...

Hey I'm about to start in on replacing my first set of glow plugs on the old green '89 m998 6.2l! I bought some wellman plugs and a BDog custom plug puller (just in case). I have no idea how old the plugs in there are- but the tell to me is more rough, long starts and smoke on startups in the...

I have finally collected the cables/components for installing a mx-7777 into the mix for use with a vic-1, and some auxiliary power needs in the old m998. Anyone have suggestions as to a good location for this monster? The power to battery cable is 10', and the power to radio cable is 5' -so I'm...

Can one of you fine gentlemen kindly point me to a downloadable link for Tm-11-5915-223-12? Spent the last 2 hours searching, my eyes are tired. Doing research for install of MX-7777 voltage suppressor. Thanks all.

I have recently developed quite the rpm "whirring" noise through the headsets of my vic-1 setup. Its a high pitched noise that follows the rpms of the engine, like old AM radios used to do. Pretty annoying to have that drilling sound in your head while driving. I have the aftermarket grounding...

As the biggest snow-fall of the year rapidly approaches the Chicagoland area (I'm in NW Indiana but still...) I'm real curious about other, more experienced hmmwv operators (notice I didn't say 'drivers' because I believe you operate these trucks) advice/experience with the hmmwv and how it does...

So I've read a bunch of the old threads on LED lights, which type, wiring issues, troubleshooting, ect. ect. My question now to the Collective Brain Trust (CBT) here is - in summary- it seems to me that if you replace one set (turn signals, or headlights, or such) you must in turn replace ALL of...

I don't know how many of you here have seen this video- but for those of you who haven't- let this serve as a visual reference of -How Not To Drive Your Newly Acquired HMMWV! If you need example after example of when to use the brake-throttle-modulation technique, here they are. I couldn't make...

The headlights on my M998 pulse dimmer/brighter/dimmer/brighter ect. when at engine idle, but are fine at higher rpms. I have installed a grounding kit already. Any ideas where to start to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

These guys did a pretty good job (I thought) with a roll cage install. This video just released yesterday- good for ideas anyway- not sure about their "seatbelt" mounting set-up....but I do like the attitude they have about just modifying the s**t out of these trucks. enjoy...

It occurred to me that there may be members here who are roaming around post-hurrricane Texas in their hmmwv's helping people. First, I hope everyone is safe, second, this would be a great thing to do with a civilian military vehicle, and third, I'm sure when the time comes it would be great to...

Here is a working list I've gathered of HMMWV parts websites. I am sure there are more out there, -please feel free to add to this. http://www.thosemilitaryguys.com/ https://avahumvee.com/ https://www.oregonaero.com/humvee-seat-cushion-system http://www.memphisequipment. https://real4wd.com/...

Perhaps I haven't searched the threads diligently enough yet, but would it be a good use of a sticky thread for members to post on, an active list of links to websites that provide HMMWV parts? I have found that you pick up a new supply site every now and then when reading the forums, but a...

I bought a 3 color camo, 1989 M998 with a 6.2l, soft top, soft doors and 4 seats exactly 100 days ago. First off, let me say that without the knowledge and data obtained on this site, I'd probably have to hear my wife giving me **** for this purchase! So thank you all for that! So far in the 100...

What are everyones/anyones plans for the HMMWV's this coming holiday? Parades? Events? Where to go?
