    As stated I would look for a grounding issue with the blinker circuit. Mark

    If you can find the spare carrier from the M37 you will be all set. I have one and it works great. Mark

    Dot5 or DOT 3/4/5.1

    Dot 5.1 is pricey and made for high performance brake applications. I use it in a car of mine with AP-Racing 4pot calipers. I would recommend DOT 4 for most uses and as already stated DOT 5 is great stuff but can settle water to the lowest point and rust out lines and is $$$. If you do change...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    If you use never seize (I always do on my HMMWV) and if you are not in a marine salt environment it can be acceptable. I just hate rusted fasteners. Steel screws have problems also. A poly or rubber washer to insulate will help.. You do what you can. Mark

    Soft Doors vs X doors - what do you prefer?

    If someone walks up to the truck at night the camera sensors it and alerts my phone and when that happens a 200w 20K lumens flood light comes on. I wake up to any alerts like that and look at the phone and if need be I can shoot down the stairs to welcome my uninvited guest and welcome him. As...

    Soft Doors vs X doors - what do you prefer?

    It's a deterrent and with Blink cams it's all I can do. Mark

    Soft Doors vs X doors - what do you prefer?

    I much much prefer the X-Doors over the soft doors. Security and esthetics are the main benefits of the X-Doors. Shrapnel resistance over the soft doors is a very minor consideration but what the hell. The X-Doors are much quieter than the soft doors for road noise. Prices for X-Doors is...

    M998 From Illinois to Alaska

    An M998 barely fits into a 20' shipping container. You have to pull the side mirrors and if you have them offset antenna mounts. You will be climbing out of the truck. Mark

    SMALLER! Tires and Wheels for a HMMWV Trailer

    Might I suggest some 265/75/16 tires and as already mentioned a pair of older chevy,Dodge or Ford 8 lug wheels. I have this setup on my M101A2. Mark

    How Slow is a 6.5 NA HMMWV Really?

    I have had my N/A M998 for five years now and it's great for what it is. Sure I'd more power and an extra gear but she's fine now. These were never meant to be speed demons and if you need to get somewhere faster look elsewhere. I try to keep mine as stock as possible. Just my two cents. Mark

    HMMWV Voltage High on Start

    As others have said use a multimeter as the gauge should not be trusted when testing the charging system. Mark

    just took in a m101a1

    That spare tire carrier I believe comes from the M37 and are impossible to find. What a lot of people do is switch the light bulbs to Leds that will run from 10v to 30v. Brighter lights and the ability to hook up the trailer to 12v or 24v with no concern. A popular auction site has 12 pin...

    3D Printed Seal Driver

    Very impressive. This 3D printing is getting better and better. On another note the proper word for a can of carbonated soft drinks is "Soda" or more properly "Tonic" and certainly not "Pop" Lol You need to look at the 3D adapters to mount an H1 style rear view mirrors on the upper hinges of...

    Why is this unplugged and why does my truck run better without it?

    It could be with the turbo kit to use the cold temp curcuit off to keep the timing retarded for the turbo setup. Just a thought. Mark
