    Steering wheel- A0 to A2 style

    You can also consider swapping to the Ford style steering wheel and column. It is collapsible and allows for a true column keyed ignition.

    BAMBULANCE progress

    Cutting up the unit will ruin it, especially when there are better fiberglass tops for the M1101/M1102's. In that condition I bet the value is 2K and up. Yours seems a bit rough. Wish I had one, as I think it would be more fun that my M11025A1.

    Fan Clutch O-Rings - 24 volt fan options?

    I've had enough of the fan clutch. I will be removing all the fan hydraulic lines and allowing my fan to go full time. I will cap the portals. I don't care if I lose a few HP, I won't be at risk for losing hydraulic fluids. I also won't be installing a visco-elastic fan clutch as previously...

    Validating M998 temperature gauge

    Trust the gauge and not the laser thermostat. Dummy lights are there to prevent us from being dummies. Please don’t be a dummy. Best, T

    More PCB questions

    Don’t let the Mosfets and IC’s blind you to what this piece of crap really is. I have opened and dissected almost all of the EESS/PCB brands. Ametek, Prestolite, SSI, Nartron. Nartron EESS, KDS Green, KDS, KDS EESS... It is a glow plug timer, that then switches over to allow current to flow to...

    Nartron S3 Identification

    Because it has three ports and not 2, it is an EESS, meaning it is "a later model". It also says "Smart Start System", which is EESS, IIRC.

    More PCB questions

    The glow plugs pull up to 150 amps so the solenoids need to be able to carry that current. Why would you want to computerize a device that just needs a pushbutton and a count to three Mississippi? THERE NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PCB BOX AND IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPUTERIZED! Its only...

    More PCB questions

    A PCB or a new EESS is expensive. I would consider keeping what you have until it fails. RWH is a great guy and his is also a valid point. You could always buy one and keep it in the storage area as an emergency spare. I decided to pull my SSI PCB and bypass the "electrics" with 2 - 200amp...

    M998 with helmet top fitting in a 7ft Garage door.

    You’re talking about a HMMWV, right? 🤪

    Big problems - my shaking was a broken crankshaft!

    Similar concept to what I was initially referring to: ICT Billet LS LT Crank Pin Kit LS1 LT1 LQ4 LS3 LSX Crankshaft Damper Drill Pinning Fixture Tool 551917

    Big problems - my shaking was a broken crankshaft!

    We all fix things differently, and opinions vary in numbers equivalent to as many a$$holes are out there, so bottom line is that I’m super happy you fixed this in a way that worked for you. Ultimately I felt you were going to trash a potentially good motor. I’m happy you didn’t trash it just...

    Noob with an electrical question

    Welcome! I just did what PapaKB recommended for the dash a few months ago, and the gauges work perfectly now. Wires on mine were placed incorrectly, and many were corroded. I like the idea of dielectric grease, but others like milcommguy don't. Open and clean and sand all connections, and...

    Speedometer Adapter Failure

    As a temporary stop-gap, use a smartphone GPS app like WAZE for speedometer function.

    AM General parts website

    Does it matter? The fact that they are selling to the public now invalidates any legal protection they might have tried to obtain via that label.

    Boredom project, LB7 dirtymax turbo on a 6.2

    You need inner and outer shells and inner and outer insulation or else you will suffer burns from the intense heat. You should consider water injection and EGT sensors.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I would remove the tools and place some long arms. A message to all the “socially responsible geniuses” rioting to defund the police. :/

    Big problems - my shaking was a broken crankshaft!

    1) I never liked the term "Ghetto Repair"... It is ignorant. The Ghetto is a place that bigots forced Jews to live, just outside of Sardinia in Italy. It is a term that has everything to do with European racism and nothing to do with shotty work. It is a term that should never be used. 2) The...

    Big problems - my shaking was a broken crankshaft!

    The new balancer ALREADY HAS THE AREA CUT, if you use a locking wedge and a Dremmel. You need to ensure you purchase a new wedge using this method. You need to use the Dremmel to cut a new groove ONLY on the crank, as the new balancer already has one! If you use a drill and dowel method; drill...

    Big problems - my shaking was a broken crankshaft!

    Bad idea! You really need to either drill in a dowel using a guide with a hardened drillbit between the crank and the balancer, or you need to use a Dremmel to make a new groove... Either would be a more permanent solution. In dragracing and such, we drilled and tapped and placed permanent...
