Just curious why you want to move away from the stock gauges? Is it a looks thing? Are they bad? NOS stock gauges are pretty inexpensive and some are updated. Here's mines ... just stock but replaced with new and work perfectly. Played with the back lighting a little too

I never want to go that fast in ANY AM General product LOL

Thanks for the info. I think I can make it work one way or another. If you would like to see where I'm at with the joystick you can check out my project here https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-new-1992-m998-avenger.184818/post-2420108 This is where I dissect a joystick to see how it...

I would recommend you download some of the manuals https://www.imfmotorpool.com/HMMWV_M998_Manuals.html it's what I use all the time to find part numbers and almost everything else you need to know. Recommend you start with TM 9-2320-280-24P-1 and TM 9-2320-280-24P-2 and any that start with TM...

I dug into the controller I bought on epay for $35 from Beltfed. It was advertised as "inop" and I had planned on needing to fix or modify it for my application so it was the right price for me. In working condition they seem to go for a lot. If you are in need of one of these I would...

Thanks, I'm not using it for a turret but I am using the joystick for rear steering and now that I have looked at it more I'm going to require more than the 3 wires in the cable. I'll probably end up changing out the connector for 5 or more wires. If they are hard to find it should go to...

Today I started working on the rear steering. As some of you might have seen there is someone making a rear steering cylinder with auto mechanical centering. I looked at that system closely before deciding I don't like the way it works. Basically it uses spring pressure and a bleed off hole...

Hi, I am trying to find the cable in the picture that attaches to the turret controller. The part number would be helpful or if you know of where I might find one that would be very helpful also. Thanks

In the link I posted above there is a PDF file attached. In the PDF file there is a list of Common Rim Sizes available in 8x6.5" bolt pattern. There is also a list of Brands and Model of wheel that match the rim sizes. In the lists it gives the offset in mm and the back spacing in inches...

Here's a post I did a few years ago but all the info is still good. The attached pdf gives a bunch of measurements and sizes. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-new-1992-m998-avenger.184818/post-2210080

Unrelated update on this Blizzardous evening here in the Northeast. This is a side project trailer I have been working on (on and off) for a couple years as time allows. I bought this fifth wheel camper trailer frame with hitch and everything with ambitions of making a car hauler trailer out...

Yes except it wouldn't be -12vdc it would be 0vdc or ground. In my picture above the battery on the left is what others are referring to the rear battery.

Does this apply only if it is hooked up to the batteries? Mine is grounded, would I just unground mine and tap off of it? I assume it would only work if it is connected to the battery.

The dual voltage alternator is for dual voltage charging not just a 12v tap to run stuff. If you want a simple 12v low current outlet then tap one of the batteries. Pull the 12vdc from between the batteries and then the chassis ground will work for you like any other ground. See picture below.

I know there are 2 different sets of control arms, early and later style. Help me understand if I have this right. Lower control arms LF and RR are the same RF and LR are the same Is the only difference in the early vs late the ball joint hole size? Am I correct to understand that you can...

How's the heat in that? Do you get extreme low temps? Have you considered a cab and engine heater, I think they are called a multi fuel heater?

And that is why I started out with it may just be terminology differences. That said, let's forget about terminology and just use numbers and examples. Does the 2.56 apply more torque to the half shaft or does the 3.08? I'm just trying to understand your previous statement. "I have no...

I'm not sure if I understand what you are saying. Maybe it's a difference of terminology. I assume this is in reference to the mention of 3.08 geared differentials? The 3.08 is a lower gear ratio than the 2.56 gears. Then you say the higher gear ratio puts more torque on the half shafts and...
