I’m looking for a set of green seat cushions for the rear seats in an M998. There are some on eBay but they want a fortune for them, then high shipping on top. Any help would be appreciated?

In a previous thread, I was commenting on Desert Tan 686 FS33446 (which I mistakenly called Desert tan 383), being too peachy or pinky. I noticed some new parts I had ordered, such as door rails, were definitely painted from the manufacturer in a sand color other than 33446. Looking through the...

I've painted several humvees and an M923 with the Behr Marquee Federal Standard 383 tan code. I feel it's accurate to the color, but find that it is a little pinky or peachy compared to the tan tops and doors. The older equipment seemed to be a little sandier or browner in color and I think it...

Thank you. So I assume that I can just connect the big + wire to the alternator then, and leave the two small ones tied back and capped?

Due to a failed generator in a 1986 Humvee, I've decided to install a self-exciting alternator in it's place. Other than the ground, the original generator has 3 wires, two small and one large. One small wire has a bullet connector (as far as I can tell this is the signal wire to charge), the...

I’m not sure about the soft top, but I don’t see why not. The product is just flax oil that is heat treated. You could always try a small area and see how it works. If I had to guess, I’d say it would work just fine. May even help preserve the fabric, just like it does for wood.

So how did it look the next day?

Boiled linseed oil works wonders. Looks like the WD40 treatment, but actually dries, and stays looking that way. Dust doesn't stick to it after drying a couple of days. Available at any home improvement store and is usually used on wood as a waterproofer and protectant.

Is this the type of rustoleum that you were referring to? looks like the photo won’t load, but label says Rustoleum camouflage, with the word “specialty” on it and no-reflective finish. Has a picture of a duck boat on the label too.

I’ve got a canvas back wall for a 4 man M998 that is green, but I’d like to use it with my tan top. Is there a common box store spray paint on the market that is very close to the original tan canvas color? I’d probably use a product like krylon fusion for the first coat, to bite into the...

I’m looking for a new, or good used 4 man soft top and rear curtain in Tan. I’m in Canada and there are no vendors here that I know of. Any ideas on best source that would ship to Canada?

Thank you. Correct pump from rockauto is 2 weeks away, and amazon will not ship that same correct pump to canada for some reason. I'm going to give that 86 chev pump a go.

Did it work ok without the vent line? As far as I can tell, that 3rd line is only to allow the diaphragm to move freely when submerged in deep water.

I’ve got a fuel pump on my 88 humvee that I suspect is weak (no 9 psi at bleeder). I am unable to get the pump with the third port on it for the vent line. At least at the moment, I’m here in Canada and some things are really hard to come by. From what I can see an 86 Chevy 6.2 L fuel pump...

It’s just a hunch that it’s weak. When I loosen the bleed screw on the filter body while it’s running, I get a very low pressure bleed. Same with water separator bleed. I just thought the mech fuel pump should have more pressure than that. Maybe not but it’s a fairly cheap part. Any thoughts?
