Most likely this has been discussed before, but I've not seen it, so here is a question about doors and
Govplanet's vehicles. Obviously, any X doors have been stripped from the vehicles they sell.
The question is:
(1) Where are those X doors now, and
(2) Who does this and why? (removing...
Thank you one and all. After the ignition switch was eliminated as the
problem, & after an 8 hour battery charge, I cleaned the posts & cables.
Only then it finally started.
Perhaps the batteries are getting tired, and couldn't keep it running for
the few critical seconds after the "pop"...
Is there any way, that you know of to 'hot wire' or other method to ascertain that
it is a faulty ignition switch or not? I'm reluctant to order a new ignition switch
not knowing if this is the cause or not.
Starting with a key which has worked very well for 2 years.
The battery was weak to begin with, and I thought I may have flooded it.
Maybe about 5-6 tries, the last 2-3 tries engine started, but only while
the starter was engaged, for a second or two each time.
There is a starting problem with my m998 6.2 engine.
The starter starts the engine, but as soon as I let
off the key's start position, the engine dies.
This cycle repeats until the batteries get weak,
and the starter slows down.
Anyone here know what could cause this?
Thanks.
Didn't know these existed, do you know of a vendor or two!?
Hey, thinking they were a sacred part, I didn't know they were available!
Thanks, very much.
There is a guy in Germany that would like to buy my M988.
He tells me that to import it into his country, the government
requires a legible data plate. It looks as if someone steel wooled
all the paint off of the one on my truck. When I bought the
vehicle, it has a clear NJ title, so it was...
Thank you for the clarification on the fuel door. I didn't know they existed. Sheese, I don't like the way things are going with our new "woke" administration!
There's no door to lock. Do you know where such a door is available? A locking fuel or "gas" cap would be much better.
There are radical "woke" people around that don't like this vehicle sitting in the neighborhood - at all. Some douche bag
'keyboard commando' suggested sugar in the gas tank...
In a large box included with an M998 I purchased, were some items that are unidentified, at least to me.
In addition to what is in the photo, is what I think is an aluminum divider about 6' 6" long by 1' wide.
The greatest mystery is the very heavy cable, about 30-35 lbs and has a large single...
Unfortunately, here in Minnesota the winters are brutal and I've lost my garage space.
I'm looking for an outdoor storage 'solution' or cover. Preferably a generic cover or tarp,
sold by a retailer would be good.
Anyone else been down this road before? What did you do?
Thank you all for the replies. Sadly, I must admit that I haven't been on here
since I wrote the request. Mistakenly, I thought I'd get an email if anyone
answered this message. (other times it has happened)
Since the turn signal 'kit' didn't come with any instructions, I didn't know that...
Does anyone know where to source the turn signal cancel ring? I've found them,
but the want to sell you the whole kit. I only need the ring, 'cause the very weak
and fragile plastic 'fingers' have both broken off. If possible I'd like to get a replacement
ring. Second choice is to jury rig...
I've installed a replacement turn signal that has the ability to cancel
the turn signal lamps after the steering wheel returns to normal.
Unfortunately, the plastic cancel ring that slips onto the steering column
has 'spindly' little fingers that easily break. Due to one of the two 'fingers'...
(1) Anyone know where I can find the 'gear' module - The one that shows R-N-D to show
what your transmission is set to? The mylar overlay is gone, and the lamps don't work.
(2) Also, looking for the aluminum plates on the dash. Ignition, Fan. ETC.
Like an on-line parts store, or similar.
Any...
Hello, I'm looking for a 'local' shop or mechanic that has worked on
M998 or HMMWVs. Since I'm a first time M998 owner, and retired,
I'd like to get my truck "tuned". Things like installing seat belts,
fixing window rattle, installing a backup camera, windshield wipers,
etc etc.
Any...
