It is completely dependent on what radio(s) was/were installed in the vehicle. I have a PRC-77 in mine, so I have a functional MX-6707 base and accompanying antenna for it. I put a SINCGARS AS-3900 on the other side for looks, both are period correct.
Here all of you are saying centramatics are great, yet I've had to balance my tires in addition to centramatics and they are still bouncing me to death.
Today I readjusted the speedometer gear into the right setting on the guide according to how many teeth I have on the gear. I didn't even see any numbers the first time because of the crud on it.
I'm still having the issue of the speedometer being off at different amounts at different speeds...
Hello 86humv,
First let me clarify that the red gear is the original I removed from the transfer case. Counted the teeth and it is 41.
According to HummerPartsGuy, he told me that there are 3 different speedometer gears; Orange 35 tooth designed for 2.56 gear ratio, Red 36 tooth designed for...
Their customer service is terrible. Ordered some harnesses from them, waited 2 months and they said they no longer had them, but were sitting on over $1k of my money, even though they said they had plenty in stock when I bought them originally.
I installed the correct speedometer gear for the gear ratio I have but the speedometer is still off by around 5-10mph. It now fluctuates whereas before it was constantly off by 10 mph. The orange gear is the new 35 tooth one. Thoughts?
Installed the bumper yesterday. My lightbar mount from Predator shipped yesterday and I'm thinking of putting 9" or 11" lightbars in the corners of the IBIS TEK bumper. I'm also waiting on the fairlead to arrive.
I've done two swaps of my own now, you can get them for well under $3k. I bought 5 turbo drivetrains for $750 each last year and a 6.5 drivetrain for $500. There's several for sale in Alabama.
Well to start, the paint is bad quality and led to galvanic corrosion with the steel bolts and aluminum bumpers. There are several welds that are cracked. The aluminum is also bent just from mounting the bumper. Some GI had to redrill the holes because IBIS TEK did not have the spacing correct.
Painted the ibis tek bumper after 2 hours of sanding it today. The more I worked on it in detail, the more I understood why the CEOs of IBIS TEK are in prison. I'll install it later this week. Purchased all new dock bumpers for it, $5 each on zoro.
I wanted something that was more designed for interstate speeds. My m1009 does 65-70 alright, but the cucv ii is obviously better. The cucv ii also has AC that works...
Is there any way to tell what gear ratio the differentials are without dropping the covers? I thought they were stamped on the side, but I can't find it. This is on a 1994 M998A1. Need to know the ratio for programming my transmission computer.
I am finishing up my 4L80E swap in one of my HMMWVs. I currently have two questions after everything is done.
I installed an electronic speedometer, harness, and sending unit. Everything is working, but the speed, according to the GPS on my phone, is off by 10 MPH too high, ie. showing 70 MPH...
