Thanks! No leaks, no burnt smells, reservoir is full. The steering moves without too much effort with the truck off and wheels off the ground. I had replaced a lot of worn components in the steering last year. The age of all components but the new hoses I put on to mount the winch are unknown...

Hi all. I was out today with the HMMWV off road, and when the truck is stopped, the power steering is very weak. When stopped the belt (which is pretty tight) squeals like crazy when trying to turn. The brakes seem just fine, and the hydraulic winch seems fine. Once moving, the steering seems...

A quick update. After I put ~2,000 miles on the truck, it's time to put it away for the winter. In the spring I filled the diff, ran it for a few miles, then changed the fluid. Now 2000 miles later the front diff acts fine, but the fluid came out black, and there were a few shaving on the...

Thank you for posting the manual! I wish I had it when I did my install. I've combined all the photos together into a single PDF, attached.

Thanks, that is very helpful! I'll report back after the install with anything I've learned.

Waking this thread up again :-) I too am installing a 10.5k Mile Marker hydraulic winch on my '92 m998a0. I can find this out by trial and error this coming week, but I thought I'd post and try to save myself some jacking and wrench turning. The spacing washers welded to the winch bumper...

For posterity, I got my information from a G503 link: http://g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=101&t=270818 . On Amazon, I found one advert that crossed the NSN number (4210-01-149-1356) to a Kidde 466425 .

I believe the correct extinguisher is an Amerex B500 5lb ABC. I bought one for mine, and it seems to fit correctly.

Thanks. That makes me feel a lot better. I was a bit worried something was wrong with the steering, and this was a leading indicator of something worse to come.

I've never driven a HMMWV or H1 except for mine, so I'm not sure what to expect. My steering does not seem to self center, meaning if I dial in a certain amount of steering input and let go of the wheel, the vehicle keeps turning, rather than the wheels straightening out. Is this common or...

Yesterday I discovered the fan clutch on my '92 M998 was stuck in the locked position. I disconnected the fan hose from the Cadillac valve, applied 120 psi of air pressure to it, and the fan didn't release. I was able to free it up with the following procedure. This was all done with the engine...

I failed to take any pictures during the process, but pretty much identical to the example I posted when I started the thread (I abandoned the dzus clip theory once I got the correct hatch material). The HMMWV I have has the plywood tunnel insulation, and once I installed that, I couldn't tell...

So I got the plate installed (thank to 86humv for providing the material). I marked and cut out the hole very carefully, first small to see where I was, then the final size. I used a cutting wheel, and it seemed to be very controllable. I did it with the tank in. if I had to do it again, I might...

Thanks, I'll definitely get some rivnuts (and put them on the shifter as well so I don't have to struggle with those bolts anymore)! I think I have all the info I need, except for one more question: I've seen debate on whether the fuel access panel should be installed as in the picture I...

Dilvoy, Thanks for the advice. The issue with the rivnuts, silcon, etc. is I don't have the kit, and can't seem to find one for small money, so I'm working with a plate that is at best the width of a cutting wheel smaller than the opening. I'll put a request out in the wanted section to see if...

After some time on my back under the truck ( '92 M998 ) with a multimeter and the TMs, I've come to the conclusion my fuel sender is bad. That's unfortunate, as taking the fuel tank out looks like a small scale nightmare. I've read about the fuel tank access cover kit, and ordered some dzus...

I finally got the pitman arm off the steering box on the second day of trying. It took penetrating oil, I broke two pullers, and finally careful application of heat, but it came off, kicking and screaming the whole time. I hope I don't have to put in a new steering box because of the heat, but...

Thank you for the very useful information! I'm going to try to stick to 2.56 if I can, and you've given me some hope that the diff may have escaped certain doom. For everyone new to this (like me) reading this thread, if my experience is any guide, I can't recommend enough to go through the...

I got my 1992 M998 a few days ago, and began to go through it. I changed the rear diff oil, and then went to go change the front, but close to nothing came out!! The diff had not made any noise to indicate things were in a bad way, and the magnetic plug had some shavings on it (for that matter...

Are there advantages to going with the newer style ball joints? Are the new ones beefier? I ask, because both the newer style and older style ACDelco ball joints claim to be forged, single piece, have grease zerks, etc.., so I'm tempted to skip the drilling if there isn't a reason to do it when...
