That easy! HMMWV tax! Seriously, I cannot really opine about either system, except to say that a lot of folks have reported fires because the start switch replacement could not handle the load. You can search for the threads about the switch to key replacements and the ones that come out of...

Would this be applicable to a M998? If so, can you please post all the part number used in this video?

EDIT: After two years, this thing gave out. Bought another, junk - lasted two weeks. Another case of Chinesium Crap.

Maybe a M998 is different but the stock starter is really, really heavy and there is no way a weakling like me could hold up that starter with two hands let alone one hand. So I used a jack and some 4x4 wood to support it so it did not drop like a bomb on my head, which would kill anyone. Watch...

Hold on - you do NOT run the engine during this procedure! Make sure the pump is to the full mark. Turn stop to stop 40 times, stopping for a few seconds at both the right and left stops. Check the level once or twice during the procedure. Don't get lazy and do less than 40 and don't rush and...

My 2 cents. I used to regularly attend and participate the local semi-annual machine gun shoot. Only Knob Creek is better. They usually have multiple class three vendors shoot all kinds of post 86 samples. One of the vendor spends $75k in ammo with his mini gun. They usually have a few junk...

A friend had the Kilmat equivalent and boat carpeting installed on the passenger floors and indeed water pooled and resulted in disgusting mold so he removed it just on the passenger floor panels. It was not fun to remove but that is what he did on the floors. I considered making holes where...

I too bought a horse stall mat and cut it just for the rear cargo area. That stuff is indestructible. But as far as using it on the pass area, those are almost impossible to cut. I smoked a circular saw trying to make just one cut for that rear mat, and a second saw was ready to go. How do you...

Just one side. Could have done both sides but one side helps enough for a weakling like me.

I cobbled this together without any HMMWV tax

Those are push electric fans required above the AC condenser.

Not that I am a pro or experienced, but I used Kilmat 80 mil 36 sqft Car Sound Deadening Mat. No need to by the brand name expsensive stuff. Took about 3 boxes. Very easy install. Just vacuum and wipe down to get as much dirt/dust out as possible. Then use a roller to throughly press into place...

AC is a specialty on its own. I am no expert but I have done some work on some, not all, successful. AC work requires a bunch of specialized tools. Some parts stores will loan or rent AC tools. Beats having lots of expensive tools sitting on the shelf unused for years. All that being said...

Well, after doing a second AC flush and after installing the second new compressor, the AC does not seem to be working perfectly. When I first start the engine and turn on the AC, I get what sounds like belt squeal, again. That was my original issue, well that and no cold AC. Now the AC seems to...

I believe they are M10x55mm (x2) and M10x30mm (x1) I believe you can find them at any Ace Hardware. Sorry for the bad picture, but this is what they supplied:

No Maybe temporarily put back the incandescent original bulbs and see if you can isolate the issue? And if the incandescent bulbs make it all work, replace them one-by-one with your LED until they don't function?

Yes, the new compressor came with oil. However the instructions, which were well written, state to drain that oil. I think the PAG oil absorbs moisture and who knows how long they sit on the shelf. The instructions state the proper amount and type of oil to add for the compressor alone. Since I...

As far as working on AC, you kind of need some specialized tools unless you have a AC shop willing to help you out with those bits. You either need a recovery machine, or someone to pull the R134 from the old system unless you vent it which is illegal. Then you can then transfer parts. Then...

Well today, the same old one step forward, three steps back! I checked the entire system with the leak detector on the most sensitive setting and it is good and sealed - no leaks detected. :) Started it up and the pressures read the same as two days ago so I do not think it lost any...

Can HMMWV be possessed? So today I go out preparing to remove the filter that leaked yesterday. The system is very low so most of it leaked out overnight. Put in enough R134 to find any leaks. Fire up the leak detector and hit every single fitting and hose again. The leak I had yesterday at...
