Hello I'm looking for a reputable shop to do a transmission swap on my M998 1987 Humvee. I have the 4spd transmission, new shifter and electronic computer. Does anyone know a place to have the work done in Los Angeles California?
Thank you I have a picture of the back of the regulator while in the truck, it looks like the same part you sent! If I can do a rebuild on the 60amp it would be great, is it possible to rebuild these locally or it needs a specific shop? And on average what would be the cost? If I bought the...
Thats awesome I didn't know I had a 6.5L, I also have a 3 speed though. So it would be possible in my 87 M998 to have the GEP 6.5L with a 3 Speed? (I use a parking brake, and have D , 1, 2)
Yeah I'll bring it back to him, he's not a specialist on Humvees he's just great with sound system things and local in my area. He wanted to put the converter but I had a time crunch, so he didn't put it but I'll bring it back I didn't know it was that important.
Thank you I'll look for the right regulator for this one.
Is the GEP a 6.5L, or is there a 6.2L? I thought mine was 6.2L and what is nice about GEPs? Thanks
This is my alternator in the attached I’m not sure which amp it is. The electrician who did the sound system said he could do a converter or just use 1 battery, I didn’t want to wait for the converter to ship so he didn’t go that route but I’m going to go back so he puts the 24v/12v converter.
If this is going to turn into a big problem like that, I want to get it resolved asap. If I get a new 100amp alternator is it plug and play? Should I just get the regulator or get a new alternator like the 100amp or is the 200amp possible?
An electrician doing my sound system checked with a voltmeter and it’s going up too high. My new Phosqate radio says “high voltage” but only in the first few minutes. I think it’s the “afterglow” mentioned earlier. When I wait a few minutes for the bouncing to stop I don’t go into the red while...
Does my alternator have the model visible so I can order the right regulator for it? Or how can I confirm with regulator to get?
I put the voltmeter on both batteries one + and other -, then that’s the number? It should be how many volt? Thank you
Hello I've been noticing lately on startup of my M998, while parked, the battery generator gauge will move into the center of the red, then bounce to the edge of green, and move back and forth between these two spots. My lights will flicker.
When driving, with foot on the pedal, it moves...
Thank you for the advice! For the 24volt inverter with plug in air pump, do you have any models Im seeing the 24volt power inverters in different watts and amps, and not seeing ones with a plug in air pump?
Here’s a pic of my ride :)

Hello does anyone have an idea why my brake pedal could be wobbling side to side, maybe a plastic piece broke that stabilizes it? I took it off road and every bump the pedal makes a lot of noise shaking side to side. I have to put my foot next to it and make it stop moving.
Sorry for no...
