    Rattle from front of engine. Alternator?

    Two cent test for free. Stop the noise. Pull the belts off and give alternator a spin by hand. Look listen and feel for clunky, rough, grinding, sloppy bearing, shaft movement, goofy end play. Another thing to look for is broken / cracked mounting ears on alternator lower front and rear...

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    Testing the glow plug system the way you did is a smart move. Simple and proves what happens over and over with failed controllers. Just pay attention as plug gets HOT real FAST. Voltmeter even smarter test, less likely to burn your fingers. The power to feed the plug circuit (a relay or...

    M998 wiper washer question?

    It may not operate. Most of the pumps become gummed up or rusted... Failing sooner or later. Pumps not cheap either, CAMO

    Battery disconnect switch that fits? M998

    That's right. BAD NEWS BEAR, If you placed your disconnect switch to disconnect the rear battery ground and using the 12/14 volt tap at the center of the two batteries to feed 12/14 volt circuits. Now the 12/14 volt equipment becomes the ground return of the front battery. Trying to pull a...

    HMMWV Transmission selector difficult to go from Drive to Neutral

    Should be a detent or notch for those across the pond for each of the selected positions. Transmission control at trans may be a little stiff when turned by hand or jerky when pushing / pulling on the control linkage. Hand shifter disconnect of course. Shifter locking positions of 1,2,D,N,R...

    Loud Noise

    On the outside that looks to be a nice truck. Having followed along with this post, (and many more) I would be most concerned with the systems on the insides. Seems every time you turn around it is something else. That's can be the life of the HMMWV hobby until one clears out all the bugs...

    Mounting options?

    Loud Noise

    That's not right! AND it is loud. You get a possum caught in the fan shroud / box or is box rubbing on fan. Just guessing... guess number two, did the starter disengage? Transmission fluid OK, Oh that's three. Get some help and climb around it to isolate the noise. Easy on the throttle...

    military speaker impedance

    What / which model were you looking at. Many have coupling transformers or active amplifiers circuits. My guess is that after you get pass the extra parts, the speaker by its self will work just fine. Find an LS-454 that should meet the cool factor. Disconnect the matching transformer (600...

    12 volt to trailer wiring

    It was noted that the converters are not instant on. Previous posts. That being said, the flashing rate of the 12 volt side will not start or maybe completely interrupted, failing to flash the lights. The solutions given for the electrically inclined are easy, reliable and simple, building...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    In a hurry...I would make sure the cylinders are clear of any fluids. Keep the glow plugs out ?? After a good clean up, all back together, full of oil and a little in the cylinders, Spin it up a few more times and see if you get oil pressure. (plugs still out) Might be a good time to run a...

    Best mechanical transfer case with 2WD option for HMMWV

    That or something just as simple holds the whole kitten kabodle together at each wheel. 75 MPH would scare the P00P out of me. That would be like a run away train. Take a look at what can happen at 45. So much for three point seat belts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrsQIKlcbsM Wear...

    Best mechanical transfer case with 2WD option for HMMWV

    I was holding back LOL, when I first read about putting some kind of hubs on the front. My thought would be to cut a hole in the foot wells and stop like the Flintstones. YA BA DA BA DO, CAMO

    Hmmwv spin on fuel filter conversion

    Skip the STE/ICE sender (as nothing to do with operations) and slap something useful on like a real gauge. Now you can check on those pesky fuel issues, anywhere. Mine runs 6-7 PSI with typical flutter of the pumping action. $14 dollars for good info when thing are going wrong out on the...

    Bed covers, seat belts & Storage ideas for M998

    I'll take "HMMWV" for two hundred dollars" Whats are the existing body mounts for? Jeopardy, CAMO Seems like all the welding and sandwiched plates will eliminate any body giggles, flex and squeaks.

    Removing fuel tank; what am I doing wrong?

    Removed all the lines and two straps? Maybe stuck with some rotten tar based gunk OR some knuckle head ran a sheet metal screw or two in the tub area and into the tank not knowing whats under there? I remember you had the tub cutout to access the tank?? That's the easiest to work on. Good...
