I have the NOCO X2 and I can confirm it will work correctly connected to both batteries. They have an accessory to power it with an external outlet. I hooked it up using an outdoor extension cord at the rear wheel well. I just plug in the extension cord and it trickle charges both batteries...
I am hoarding parts for a 60 Amp to 200 Amp generator conversion and I need the knowledge of the collective again. This time, it is belt routing after the conversion. I bet there is someone here that has a 200 AMP generator with AC and can tell me how their v-belts route!
A "Normal" M998 with...
I too had this same problem. Same belt setup. I was going to replace all the belts once the Florida Inferno dissipates. I am not sure how old the belts on the truck are, so I was going to replace them all just as general maintenance. Plus the hose for the fan clutch that looks old and has...
Just to post another idea for shows and parades. I was watching one of the car shows on Motortrend, and they rigged up an air tank with an electronic valve and it spit out confetti rather impressively. It spit it out pretty far.
Might keep the ATF off your back, these days they are looking for...
It is amazing how much of a racket it makes with that broken spring.
Just watch out for the HMMWV tax! When I replaced mine a year ago, the best price I could find was a little over a $1 each, but $25 shipping! So I ordered a few. Or wait till you need a few things and make a large order - if...
I finally got around to hooking up a digital VOM at the batteries and drive it around. The voltage with the engine running, any speed, any load, was pretty consistent at 27.3 to 27.4 volts. Extremely stable - pretty much the same within 0.1 volts between idle or 2000 RPMs, or stopped at a light...
Do'oh! I am brain dead. Makes perfect sense! Thank you!
I am not R&R the clutch. Just R&R the hose which is has small cracks in it so I am want to replace just the hose with one that has quick disconnect on it. I have to disconnect the hose at one end anyway to replace the V-belts too.
Yet another request from the collective on a shortcut or procedures to help me save tearing up my hands, destroying my radiator, or breaking my fan. Once the Florida Inferno subsides in 5 months, I am going to replace all the V-Belts on my M998 6.2 NA and replace the Fan Clutch Host with one of...
Not to hijack this thread, but is there a source for a complete kit of the plastic bushings, preferably without the HMMWV tax? I found a partial kit when I serviced the wiper motor, but there are others that seem to be unobtainable.
Thanks - so I think you are saying that even if I upgrade from my 60 Amp generator to a 200 amp, the sound will still be present.
I put a voltmeter on it and report back as soon as I can...
What is the recommended 60 amp generator upgrade but be able to keep the twin V-belt setup? Or is there a kit for a serpentine belt system?
I found a couple of You Tubes of folks that went to a 60 amp alternator but that won't increase the amps. And I see kits for a 160 amp alternator but that...
Yes, I do have the original 60 Amp generator. Sounds logical that it would be the evap fans since the sound seems to go away with the AC off.
I am just wondering why the sound is present with the engine running, but if I shutdown the engine and I have the evap fans running (any speed), the...
Once again the NOOB must come to the collective to get advise.
Recently, I began hearing a whistling noise that I have been unable to track down. At first I thought it was bad belt(s) or a bearing going out, but now I think it is something else.
It sounds like a whistle to me. Maybe a vacuum...
I have a extremely long thread on my ordeal with Florida DMV Sucks Thread.
The short story is that if you go to a large DMV office in a major Florida city, you have no chance of getting a Florida tag, military, collector car, whatever. They invalidated my out-of-state title I got from the...
When I did this I bought a kit that had everything. Not sure it is worth doing piecemeal. Just google: HUMVEE FUEL WATER SEPARATOR FILTER M998 4330-01-189-0889 And Main Fuel filter A910162 come with the orings usually.
At the time I bought this last year, there was no HUMVEE tax on this...
Hello again folks. Another newbie question here. Possibly something I am concerned about for no reason, but I will ask anyway since is the first diesel engine I have owned.
I understand it is possible, but not likely, that the 6.2 NA can run away under some unlikely conditions. So I am thinking...
Thank you, but no need to measure. I'll just plan on removing the combined receiver / pintle unit I have and replace it with one or the other, probably a 2" receiver.
Yet another newbie question for the experts.
I was thinking of mounting a rear hitch on my M998, using part number 5340-01-485-5962, this Humvee m998 WINCH MOUNTING PLATE:
I have this bumper and receiver.
Will 5340-01-485-5962 work on the bumper I have and will I be able to keep the...
