All work and no play makes for a very dull life. The Son and Grandchildren enjoyed the end results of my efforts.

Well that was easy. Never knew about the screw on top of the fuel filter. That's OK I figured it out. Cranked right up. It seems that the Glow Plugs cycle in and out. I know nothing of them. I put 8 new Glow Plugs in. I am not sure they are working correctly. We took it for a ride. Went to eat...

Yes I replaced the fuel tank plug with a 3/4" expandable plug. I went out and put on rubber gloves and pulled the plug quickly. Nothing came out. It was leaking for the last 2 weeks in my garage. That solved the no start problem. Won't start without fuel. And the threads in the center were gone...

Any ideas as to how hard it is to purge the air from an M998? And is it standard to have a rubber expandable plug in the bottom of the fuel tank as a drain? This one just has a plug no bolt to tighten it and leaks at will.

I figured it out for myself. All the wires are in place. It helps to live near Indiantown Gap. I looked at a HMMWV that was parked over there. Starter / alternator wires. I am cranking but unable to get it to fire. I cannot get fuel past the injection pump. I will give it a rest and get back on...

Wire 2A Wire 3B Wire 74A Wire 81A Can someone help me? I have looked at every manual. I must have missed something. Where do these wires go?This fuse?Is this right? This was the broken ear. This is the same ear after a $40. tig weld. Looks good to me.

The pump is on and in place. I don't see any pictures of it installed. i learned a lot on this job about these HMMWV. The next one will be easier. I will OHM the wire.

Anyone know where this wire goes? I think it may be a ground. Does anyone know? Does anyone have any feedback. Check out the pictures does everything look good? I replaced a lot of worm drive clamps. Almost everyone was over tightened and stripped. I used a lot of new fasteners. I used some of...

I stayed out in the garage till about 2 AM and then got right back on it this morning at 6AM. I went fishing and came back and worked on it again. If not for the broken alternator ear I would have had it running today. I tried for 2 hours to get the starter on by myself. I made it a goal to do...

Thursday night I was successful in getting the engine back in the HMMWV. It took a lot of patience and a lot of thinking to get it in and not damage anything. I made a wooden engine cradle for the oil pan and used a floor jack to support the engine from below then hooked the picker to the front...

Today I did a lot of studying of the engine installation and have the engine completely assembled for installation. I have set aside a day next week to install it into the chassis. It is the wire routing and brackets that I have some doubt about. I am sure I will figure it out. Not like I am...

Moving right along. Can you check out my bracket on the water pump and the big aluminum bracket. Do they appear to be correct in the bolt/stud configuration?

I went to the Gap today and was able to locate and identify all the HMMWV parts. From this point forward I should be good. I will have to return and look again. I seen many in the scrap area.

I am asking for some help in identifying these parts and where they go? Please answer if you know for sure. I will make a trip and look at another HMMWV if I have to. Also is this the correct way that the injection lines get fastened down? I am winging along here. I am a CUCV guy and this looks...

What is this clip for on the rear of the right cylinder head? The engine that was in the HMMWV did not have one. Please be patient. I did NOT remove the engine. I am pretty talented with this engine but in CUCV's not HMMWV. This is the hole at the rear of the left head. Does anything go there? I...

I made some progress today on the HMMWV 6.2 engine. I have a few questions I will post in the next thread. If all you are going to say is read the TM's don't bother replying. I worked on several vehicles today and this is the one I had the most fun with. Beats a jigsaw puzzle anytime. I have...

Look at that an empty barn bay. My garage. It was never empty for 26 years. No use breaking the record. I will fill it quickly with a HMMWV. The M998 would not fit in my garage with the bows on it. They were poorly installed by someone being all that they could be one weekend at a NC NG station...

A 1992 HMMWV M998 with a 6.2 does not have a serpentine belt. It has 3 V belts. I think it should have enclosed gear driven PS and Alternator. Why not? But do you think the CUCV starter would work just as well?

I guess I will stick with the HMMWV starter. But I wanted to put that question out there to why the HMMWV has the big heavy starter and the CUCV starter would do the same thing. Am I missing something here? I don't change things but I still question this set up. Does one starter do something the...

Thank you for the water pump reply. I also wondered why a HMMWV has such a heavy starter in comparison to a CUCV? The CUCV starter spins the same engine at 1/3 the mass and weight. I took the HMMWV starter to be rebuilt and it was missing a half dollar sized screw in cap on the solenoid. The...
