    Brush guard bracket bolt size question

    Humvee Transmission Problems

    So I went under the humvee and checked the linkage. It looks good. I also saw it move the transmission shifter. Does anyone know if the transmission ever has issues because of a bad ground? I'm wondering if the transmission controller could be out of wack because of a bad ground. I do...

    M1038 Mile Marker winch troubleshooting

    Hi Im new to the site and humvee ownership. I have a M1038 with winch. This may be a stupid question but do you need the plug in controls to use the winch?

    Scored a M1038 listed as a M998.

    I just got a m1038. My understanding is its the same as the 1028 but with a winch on the front. Is that all?
