    Parking brake adjustments/repair?

    Oh, sorry...guess I was not that clear. Thank you for answering. I have run out of ways to "Tighten" the parking brake system. The handle adjustment is all the way out and the adjustment not on the rod underneath is also at its MAX. The parking brake barely holds now.

    Parking brake adjustments/repair?

    I have been having an issue with my parking brake on an M998. It is the later type that uses the rear calipers to set the brake. I have followed the manuals etc. and I have run out of adjustment, both on the handle and the rod underneath. The brake pads and rotors are well within specs. Is...

    Rear camber

    You may have a tough time finding a shop with an alignment machine that can handle the width of the HMMWV. This is also a good way to do it yourself, will get it pretty close to specs. http://hummer-hmmwv.tpub.com/TM-9-2320-387-24-2/css/TM-9-2320-387-24-2_1339.htm

    Rear camber

    Yes, you are literally grinding the rear tires away each time you drive now, until the toe is adjusted within specifications....an aligned is fairly cheap as compared to new tires.

    SO tired of looking for tie rod/radius arm boot covers.

    These work quite well, but not perfect....beats buying a whole new end though. http://www.rubberduck4x4.com/shop/h1-hummer/steering/steering-components/tie-rod-boot/?sku=RDH10-TRB-NF

    Rear camber

    On your rear tires...have you had the rear Toe correctly adjusted? I had the same issue with the rears, when i first got my vehicle and it turned out the toe was way out of spec. Since corrected, wears normal now. Also, I have all shims removed on rear..still about 1.5 degrees positive...

    Transfer case output shaft spline sealing.

    That is correct: 63 5310011865237 86403 4210973 WASHER,LOCK FRONT It is a rubber washer, like the one you pictured. Odd name for it. This is it exactly: https://real4wd.com/store/Washer,-Lock-Front-And-Rear-Output Fits perfectly, but has eventually slightly leaked, all 3 times i...

    Transfer case output shaft spline sealing.

    Yes, only it is black..maybe more splines on it too. The blue one is for the differential output i believe.

    Transfer case output shaft spline sealing.

    Underneath that (218 - 110 ft-lb) nut is a rubber washer...which is cut to fit in the splines ( I call it a star washer)...i.e....to seal the splines from fluid leaking up i assume. I replaced the actual oil seal for the flange (as referenced here) and that is not the issue, it no longer leaks...

    Transfer case output shaft spline sealing.

    It is a 218, I put a new yolk on also. Oil seal on yolk is fine. It is leaking out the spines of the yolk and forming a drop beneath the nut on the front output shaft. I live near Bel Air.

    Transfer case output shaft spline sealing.

    Thanks. Transfer case output, TM states 110 ft/lbs and that is what i have been torquing it to. Each time I have used a new rubber washer.

    Transfer case output shaft spline sealing.

    Hello. I have been trying to stop a slow leak coming from the splines of the output shaft/flange on the transfer case of a 1989 M998. I have replaced the rubber star washer several times, having tried RTV once (per site searches) and also no RTV...both with the same results...a small drip once...

    Parking brake adjustment

    Hello. I have a 1989 M998, with the updated rear parking brakes.. I have adjusted the parking brake as described in the manuals. Well, the adjustment knob has now bottomed out, and can no longer be adjusted. I barely holds the vehicle. I have gone over the rear brakes (cleaned, lubed etc.)...

    Unknown HMMWV Hood mounting device?

    Thank you. That was a quick answer. Now, how does one remove it without damaging the paint too much....or should i just leave it there?

    Unknown HMMWV Hood mounting device?

    Hello. New HMMWV (made in 1989) to me, ex Virginia National Guard I understand. Does anybody know what this mounting attachment is for...even better, a picture of it in use?? I have searched and asked around, with multiple different answers. Nothing definitive. Any help would be...
