Wrong use of terminology on my end. I didn't mean splicing in [what is probably the more accurate use of the word] the sense of just putting some sort of taps/splices to individual wires, but I mean that I intend to run new wires and connectors parallel to the existing harness where necessary...

So I've already pulled together most of the major, big dollar components I need for my 4L80E Install (I'm not exactly calling it a swap, since my M998A1 doesn't have any transmission...); however, I'm still missing the most important component of them all: the transmission. I've been reading...

I'm assuming you're meaning glow plugs, not injectors... Are you using the yellow band temperature sending unit with your starting box?

Progressive offered basic liability to my M998A1 for all of $5 per month. I've also got full coverage for a car and for a motorcycle on that same policy, which is probably why it's that cheap. Just an option for you to consider if the local deal doesn't pan out.

I'm not an expert in this yet, but I know it well enough to know the hummer engine will have all 12v components and the humvee 24v components. It'd be an annoying expense to replace all the electrical components. But I do want to know what that difference might be for the transfer case. I was...

Why does it suck? Too heavy? Falls off? Too soft?

Holy smokes, that sounds quick. The 8-12 weeks was truth for you, I see!

Guys, its been two whole days since I submitted my EUC. Why hasn't it cleared yet!? I jest. I jest! Just add my to the list of anxious people wanting their first MV.

It looks like it. I woke up and couldn't quite get back to bed, so I starting poking around and realized that the EESS is most likely not there. Looks like there will be an S3 in my future-I just wish these weren't $500+. Does anyone know what the disconnected cable is next to the wash fluid...

Yesterday, I nailed the winning bid on my first MV, a 1994, 2-dr, M998A1 with a 6.5L NA engine. It's missing a transmission, transfer case (a new AMG 242 was hiding in the back!), rear drive shaft (hiding in back!), light switch, and the doors​ (hiding in back!). Most everything else looks...

I've been laughing about the ratchet strap since I bought it. I've already told some of my coworkers that I'm going to be very disappointed if they try to take the ratchet strap off and keep it. :razz: It's helping hold up some loose exhaust parts that one of my friends should be able to...

I thought you guys knew what a HMMWV looked like.... [kidding] I was going to start a build-up thread since it's going to be a 4L80E install, but here's the main auction photo from it anyway. I thought that everything was in pretty good shape in the body, wheels, tires, and most of the...

Today I just bought my first MV! 1994 M998A1 2-dr in Indiana. The price exploded on the other units I was looking at, so I ended up bidding on the no-transmission wonder and got it for starting bid, which leaves enough money to build up the missing, critical components. Seems like it's time to...

Guys, seriously top-notch responses! I'm going to read into the British and Israeli options the most as they might meet the needs. For giggles, I read a lot into Codan's modern military radios. They look excellent, but seeing as I have found zero up for sale, I assume they're absurdly...

I appreciate any help anyone can offer on this one. I've been lurking around for quite a while lookign into a few more modern MVs and due to the crossover of hobbies in amateur radio, I was hoping someone could help me get started in finding a military radio that might fit my needs (even if...

Despite seeing multiple places showing that these are air lift brackets (specifically, for parachute drops) that are used so that the vehicle's suspension absorbs some of the landing impact, I still want to see these things used as an emergency self-recovery winch. I'm certainly no expert, but...

Good info, guys. Thanks for this. I'm sure this is a problem I can expect to encounter some day. :)

Name here is Jon. Currently, I'm down in Dearborn county, but I'm about to move right into the heart of Marion. No MVs yet, but I'm looking seriously about grabbing a deuce or satiating my lust for an M1027 HMMWV by holding out some cash and going big all at once. I definitely would love to hang...
