    adding third battery to HMMWV with dual volt alternator for 12 volt accessories

    I decided not to add a third battery exactly because of what Dock Rocker said...50 amps is not enough.

    M998 with Goodyear MT/R tire pressure tips

    So what is the magic psi to run with a m998 4 man soft top with Goodyear mt/r tires? (And how did you determine that psi was correct?)

    M998 with Goodyear MT/R tire pressure tips

    1986 M998 4 man soft top. Goodyear MT/R (radials) with the 12 bolt rims and runflat donuts inside. I have assumed the TP 20 and TP 25 stamps on the fenders were meant for the old bias tires. The -10 TM doesn't list a M998 so I did the chalk test. 35 psi Front and Rear left a nice chalk mark...

    Shifter only moves from R to N to D

    here are the photos of what the problem was and using the clamps to push the axle through so the C ring retainer clip could be reinstalled.

    Shifter only moves from R to N to D

    I removed the linkage and the transmission shifts perfect. I removed the shifter and pealed back the rubber boot and found the C clip that holds the "axle" inside the shifter was off causing the shifter axle to bind up. I squeezed the shifter walls together with some clamps to get the shifter...

    Shifter only moves from R to N to D

    1986 stock M998. My shifter has stopped moving into 1 and 2. It still moves from R to N to D so it's not a critical issue but I prefer starting in 1 and manually shifting to 2 then D to get the RPMs up (otherwise the trans shifts too quickly to drive...). This has randomly happened over the...

    M998 60 Amp to 200 Amp Alt upgrade?

    I am not sure that N1228 alternator you bought on ebay has the same flange offset and shaft size/length as the HMMWV alternator N1225 since the N1228 appears to be for a different vehicle. I tried looking at ceniehoff.com but I couldn't find info on the N1228. Call niehoff and find out before...

    HMMWV 200 AMP Alternator and other question about roll bar

    The step by step installation instructions and schematic diagrams should have been included with the upgrade kit...just keep all the small parts organized and in the plastic bags until the are needed...the 200 amp alternator is very heavy and it is recommend to use a hoist to lower it in place...

    Humvee security mods - inexpensive but effective

    I typically do not use the steering wheel lock...keeping my Humvee where I parked it is my primary goal. I have the soft doors off most of the time so it's wide open when i park it. Making sure no one starts it is a close second. And I just liked the hood lock idea.

    adding third battery to HMMWV with dual volt alternator for 12 volt accessories

    so I believe the answer is here: http://www.ceniehoff.com/Documents/Ctrl_Hyperlink/TG0019A_uid12172009217332.pdf But deciphering that terminology and those schematics is beyond me....
