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...

Had mine in for about a year now. Like them. Ask me in about 8 years and I'll tell you if I love them or not.

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...

Last month I installed a gear reduction starter. Seems ok so far. Some positives, some negatives. This is the one I used: Rareelectrical 24 VOLT GEAR REDUCTION STARTER COMPATIBLE WITH 92-04 AM GENERAL HUMMER HUMVEE 5.7 6.2 6.5 DIESEL 5744719 Here is the good, the bad and the ugly of the gear...

Not to restate what others stated, but if you want to try to get yourself out of it on the cheap without other heavy equipment, and there is a tree or something you can anchor to not too far away, you and use a come-along with some heavy duty straps. Takes forever and not pleasant in the mud...

I figure I would post this in case someone like me wants to use a double pole rocker switch to manually control their fan clutch based on @Mogman excellent drawing. Like Mogman indicated, I ran three 18 guages wires under one jacket into the cab. I used a "Waterproof Rocker Switch Toggle...

These are not the products the military uses, so no HUMVEE tax from the vendors, but is what I used when I installed a 24V Serpa. Great winch BTW! For the protective coating, search for "NOCO NCP2 CB104 4 Oz Oil-Based Brush-On Battery Corrosion Preventative, Corrosion Inhibitor, and Battery...
