Hi,
I have a 1985 M998 with potential transmission issues. I say potential because maybe it is fine as I have limit experience with these trucks. My main complaint is shifting is very weak to the point not even sure if it is shifting.
I installed a tachometer to better monitor the shifts. It...
Hi,
Ever since I installed a new S3 Smart Start Control Box the Brake Light on the dash stays on. I even tried my spare and the same thing happens. If I install my old style control box this is not an issue. Is there any known problems with the S3 Control Boxes? I did check the Parking Brake...
Hi,
Ended up buying a couple NOS halfshafts off eBay. I am going to start installing them tomorrow. Read through the TM manual and seems pretty straight forward. Anything I should watchout for? Also, how do you safely jack up a HMMWV? What is the correct jackstand placement?
Thanks
The boots are either thorn up or missing. Each half shaft has a missing boot. Looks like a lot of rust and dirt in the joints. Can they be rebuilt? Thanks
Hi,
Looking for a set of rear half shafts for my newly aquired M998. I see a few people selling them on eBay. Is one brand better than another or are they all the same? Where is the best place to buy them? Below are a few pictures of my truck. Former USMC/Navy Seabees. Wish they didn't paint...
Hi,
It has been awhile since I posted anything. I have owned my Dragoon for a few years now and have not had time to do much with it. Over the past month I have had some time to take it for a spin around the storage lot and do some cleaning. Would like to take it out on the road and local car...
Hi, Over the past few weekends I have been working on retrievinga M932A2. Last weekend I finally got it running after doing a bunch of PM work(fluids, filters, fuel, and etc). The truck seems like it does not have much power.It had sunk into the ground a little after sitting for an unknown...
Hi,
Thanks for the advise. It was the heater and fresh air cables holding it up. I also removed power & starter switches and removed the clamp holding the speedo cable from under the hood. These steps gave me plenty of room to work.
Thanks
I have finally got around to playing with my M929A2 after sitting untouched for a few years. Anyhow, I am having issues with the charging system. The dash gauge is in the red. The generator get really hot if the 568 wire is connected to it. The truck has two new batteries. I cleaned the cab to...
Hi,
I need a M931A1 hauled from Lansing, MI to Utica, MI. I cannot guarantee the running and driving condition of the truck. Please let me know if you can help.
Thanks
Hi All,
It's been awhile since my last posting. Had a crazy year and have had little time for anything other than work. I have owned the Dragoon for almost a year now and sadly have not done much with it. I am not sure if I should keep it or pass it on to someone else. It's a lot of vehicle...
Well it is finally home. Weather was great to drive the Dragoon home. Unfortunately I did not get to drive it. Since it's not registered, plated, or insured a few guys from the SWAT team delivered it. As you can see from the pictures it need a good cleaning and new paint. Starting a new job on...
Hi,
Still waiting on the county to get the paper work together. It has been a super slow process. I did hear from them this week and they are making progress. Told them I would like to complete the deal by the end of the year. We will see what happens. I post pics as soon as I get it home.

Hi,
I have recently made a impulse buy that I am now questioning. I put a deposit down for a 1985 Dragoon 300 armoured personal carrier version (former SWAT). But, the county is taking for ever to get the paper work together. So, it has given me time to think if I did the right thing. I have two...
Hi,
First time checking out the Cadillac-Gage V100 part of the forum. These are some cool vehicles. Can these or Dragoon 300's be titled, insured, and driven on the streets? How do you guys have them titled?
Thanks
