To be perfectly honest with you I didn't pay enough attention to the threads of the bolt and nut that I removed. Regardless, I replaced them, the washers and added a lock washer and used a regular nut. I'm certain it will be fine however I will check the original nut and if it matches the...

The original nut doesn't need a lockwasher however the replacement bolt I used is a course thread and the original nut doesn't fit. I used a lockwasher and a course nut and it worked perfectly. If you use the course bolt a lockwasher would be a good choice.

No, go with the one that is the next size up from what is in there now. The shank will be too long if the bolt is too long. I really think the 5" is the correct one. I think a 4.5" would be better but was not offered in that length, the 5" left all the threads showing which is more than long...

On second thought they might have been 6" long. I remember debating on them and can't remember which size I went with.

It's a 3/4" x 5" and you can get them in grade 8 at tractor supply for a reasonable price. I just did mine, check out my Avenger thread page 7 and it has some details on what to do. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?184818-My-new-1992-M998-Avenger/page7

In general the feel of the A2 wheel is much improved over the original. However the issue is the distance between the seat and the wheel is made for a young man in the army that runs 10 miles a day and weighs in at 160lbs. I am not that man. I'd like more breathing room and the only way I see...

Please explain "new style". I have installed the A2 steering wheel and it's shape, set back and diameter are all the same as the original steering wheel. It is however thicker than the original and that actually costs about 1/4" clearance. Is there some other steering wheel that isn't set...

The original is green and thinner. The A2 is black and thicker. It offers a little better grip and hand feel. It has a textured surface where the original is smooth. Shape and diameter seem to be the same.

Yes it will, just changed mine last week.

The seat is not going back any farther than it is now. With the Avenger it is a hard top and wall behind the seat. There is absolutely no more room to go back with the seat. Arrow #1 Seat hits the support. Arrow #2 Seat hits solid non removable back wall. Arrow #3, the Avenger has this...

Moving on to the winch install. My truck has the Luverne brush guard. My goal was to mount the winch and keep the brush guard. I know they are not intended to "bolt on" with each other. So there will be some required modifications. When I bought the winch one of the hydraulic lines was...

As previously mentioned I would like to shorten my steering column to move the steering wheel forward as much as possible. I bought one to experiment with. First task was to take it apart. Pulled the seals at each end to inspect how it was assembled. after digging at it with a pick and...

I don't think anyone assumed you were going to intentionally overheat the engine. Keep in mind we are not attacking you. We are posting to try to HELP you. I don't know what your experience is and although I am new to the HMMWV and Diesel world I am NOT new to mechanics, engine builds, engine...

For me it is the depth of the switch that is important. As for what causes them to burn out, I wonder if they had the same problems when the vehicles were in service? Once they get into the public's hand and backup lights, license plate lights, fog lights, markers on the roof etc. are added...

Definitely a Mile Marker since it says it right on it. Looks like a 10,500 lb winch. The solenoids probably say 24V on them. The hard line and valve setup is identical to the winch setup for a HMMWV. If the last picture shows the mounting brackets I can't tell what they are from the picture...

That may be but how many of the thousands and thousands that were made actually failed? The next question would be why did they fail? Where they designed for trucks that use LED lights and people retrofitting them overloaded them? I converted all my lights to LED and that should be a...

My suggestion would be to do a google search on "HMMWV front bumper" then click on "Images" and start looking at all the pictures. Find one you like then start asking questions on the ones you like. I have yet to see a front bumper I like the looks of. Most of them stick out a foot in front...

I picked up one of the electronic light switches to replace the old style lever switch. The lever switch worked fine and I had complaints about it except the space it took up. The levers stick out and one of the future mods I would like to make is moving the steering column in about 2 inches...

This weekend it was time to address some of the abuses done over the last 27 years to the truck. My front brush guard had a little tweak on the passengers side and although hardly noticeable it bothered me. We put a torch to it and pry bar and now it looks good as new. It took maybe 5...

I went to a local auto parts store and bought a 12v plate light and asked the guy for a 24v bulb that fit. 3 minutes later I was on my way with a 24v plate light.
