    Upgrade steering linkage Basic to A2?

    The little I know ?? it doesn't take much change in the steering components to affect geometry, then show up at the steering wheel. So I take it that going down the road true and straight... the steering wheel center spoke is off. Funny LOL it is an adjustment / Spec in the TM. Needs...

    Upgrade steering linkage Basic to A2?

    Time to make some comparisons between parts?? Using AMG parts on my rebuild and being the goof I is... The spokes were close to what the TM wanted. To dial it in, the tie rods needed a little tweek while keeping toe aligned. You are right... all the linkage / coupling is keyed as I remember...

    Likely is the mast support, missing parts with a antenna bracket added in an unlikely place. A little weird to see it configured as a troop carrier ??? If it was all there, that would be a keeper too, CAMO

    Rhino tire carrier, That's a BIG plus. Deal le oh on the on the side is the deal le oh... I have no idea. Not the antenna support gizmo that I have seen before. If it is ??? it is missing a large bracket down by the bumper. Extra parts for sure, CAMO

    Electrical Gremlins. HMMWV M1097R1.

    Monty, I'll pick door number two on the right for the trip to China Land. Another way to tell, the bright gold zinc plating and soft metal screws they use. Are those China com glow plugs in the background? One is going to pay to play real HUMV, CAMO

    LVOSS launcher

    IMO.... and here it goes. One might be better shooting candy pieces out with compressed air. Kids love that stuff at parades. Or cheap little stuff toys, colorful necklaces??? I can see them now running, screaming, climbing over one another to get at the prize. Grandpa too. I'am sure...

    M1165 400 Amp Generator questions

    Seems strange and not knowing the hours, use, abuse or it just is one of those electrical points of failure that can happen. As stated, the fan and wiper motors do work the way said. Anyway there is a lot of smart stuff going on in those boxes. Strange design can be said about many of the...

    M1165 400 Amp Generator questions

    Might tell us what controller you have or shoot a picture. There's a good chance it is contributing to the flakey condition you describe. Next time hit it with a hammer...Really, but not to hard. Rubber mallet :hammer: Gremlins and pixies 👾 ⚡ not playing nice it the Brain BOX, CAMO

    6.5L GEP - Black Smoke when accelerating

    Along those lines... My truck, right pump, right injectors, right seatbelts. BUT at 2200 ft ASL it sort of would roll a little coal action and a bit more when getting up and going . Even more at upper elevations (to be expected). I didn't care for it that much. I turn the IP fuel delivery down...

    Little con-fused... what is the test point for item 4 listed? Explain. I ask... what is the voltage on the ignition sense terminal at regulator with the switch in the RUN position? Next, model of regulator ? Don't know about this parasitic drain, but differently not charging. "Parasitic...

    Mystery wire/plug

    Just a guess... from picture the wire looks a little long. The dirty boot looks like the one on the kick down control, side of transmission and that's based on the 6.2 engine in the picture. You got a three speed tranny? ( can I say that here ) Show a wider picture and what is on the other...

    M998 Humvee Running Light, Headlight, and Turn Signal Issue

    IMO... Might be a bit overkill with the tape. Those simple rubber"Packard" style connectors have been thru a lot of wars with very good service life. Depending on the environment, they can crack, become brittle & show signs of "jungle rot" That's a real mess up one IMO, LOL. Those didn't...
