On my first truck, an M998 with a TH400 trans, I tried one of the "military" 24v solar chargers. I'm not sure if it was a result of the 24V solar charger or a result of the earlier alternator/battery configuration, but that truck reliably killed one of the two batteries annually. On my...

I had a hard time identifying/finding the correct o-rings as there are several for the different style wheels. There is a post here somewhere with the specs/mcmaster carr partnumber of the bulk o-ring material. I bought that and made my own for cheap. Just took a carefull, straight cut and...

I have an M1114 which had wiring exactly like yours. The small harness with the blue wire/J10/grey connector is just a clumsy way of tying some addon equipment into the main hmmwv harness. I never found out what equipment it was previously for, but I did find that the grey connector is just a...

In my case the belt and the platform was attached to a larger square plate and the method was to remove the entire assembly together. The belt came out still attached to the larger plate.

I don't know the part number or if they are obtainable but I've owned a couple of trucks with those door filler panels and the seals were nothing at all special- just a strip foam with adhesive on one side. I would expect is more of a bulk product that comes in a roll vs. a special purpose...

If you are crazy like me and enjoy tig welding: 1-drill out with a step bit so you have perfect round hole 2-gently use a clean & strip disc on a grinder to disappear the paint nearby (clean both sides, wear a mask) 3-punch or hole-saw an aluminum plug to fill the hole. I like 10 guage 5052 for...

RWH advice is always sound but beware: I bought a m1114 non-runner from yermo precisely because it looked to have a good motor. I got lucky, it did. But upon digging deeper, while it was swiss cheese from the removed armor, it was otherwise in really good shape. I started to really like the...

Yes. engine hoist is my preferred method to free the tire from the wheel haflfs and also to extract the runflat from within the tire. I'm not sure I'm doing it right, but for sure anyone using a tire machine & not disassembling the wheel, is definitely doing it wrong.

Odometer is meaningless, don't fool yourself otherwise. I historically see hmmwv engine/trans on that e auction site anywhere from $1000-$4000 you can buy govplanet parts rigs out of yermo for $1500-$2500, but condition questionable. both of those sites allow you to research past prices. Of...

clean surface. etch. epoxy. If you want the best, you want a coating that hardens by a chemical reaction of mixing 2 parts. Most paint works with a solvent that evaporates. I.e. with latex paint the solvent is water. Epoxy is different, when you mix the 2 components together it begins a...

kascar. mac motors.

In my experience the lift pump and the injection pump are common failure items after years of storage. Also, the hose that connects the fuel filler neck to the tank is always deteriorated significantly and will leak whenever you fuel the truck. The hose can be changed without removing the fuel...

Hi. I've previously resurrected 3 non-runners. Working now on my 4th HMMWV. It's a basket case M1114 from yermo. I bought it because the engine looked good. The truck came with transmission/transfer case/driveshafts/exhaust/etc. as a loose pile of parts in the bed and it was missing a...

Dearest Humpty: If you spend time reading this forum you will find many exceptional people who have considerable expertise and wisdom, but also kindness to help others with their problems. The two people I most respect in this regard are Retired War Horses and Mogman. RWH because his knowledge...

Removing the plate and thoroughly greasing the rod does work well but there is another practical approach. The first time I changed a lift pump it took me hours and I used up a weeks worth of swear words. Several humvees latter I've learned : -It makes all the difference where in rotation the...

There are many chinese pimps on eBay, but there are great sellers also. You just need to be cautious. If it's far too cheap its probably not the part you're looking for. I've bought many great quality items with good pricing from -beltfed34 out of Marble Falls, TX -militarysurplusparts out...

Allot of the recent slantbacks sold are of the latter armored variety. The roofs and sponsons do differ vs. the earlier rigs. (Earlier top is steel and rounded. Latter top is aluminum and angular) Are not the armored doors essentially straight vertical pieces while a soft door on an M998...

definitely plastic. I had gauges with some paint overspray. I wrongly though they were glass and tried mek to clean up the overspray. The mek softened the plastic.

I have a m998 with a 6.2 engine and 3 speed trans. It sat unused during the winter and I'm just getting it out & about for spring. It starts great/runs good. But driving around it occasionally starts squealing/screaming. If you let off the pedal and coast it goes quiet. I thought it might be...

I love these trucks; they are good for smiles/mile. That said I can't think of a better way to kill the joy then turn a fun hobby into a obligation I depended on for income. There are a billion vehicles you can buy, fix up, sell for profit. Have you done that with an easy to sell vehicle...
