I see you're in Dallas. This confused me, as we have another four months of summer and never go sub-0. My M998 will just stay in the drive way for the winter. Fishing camp must be nice! Cheers.

Wholly crap! My M998 squeaks, groans, passes gas, rattles, you name it. It runs like a champ, but it aint quiet about it. I think you're on your own with this one.

I bought a soft top kit and it came with the hardware (bows, cpillar, etc) The C pillar is aluminum (super light - about 10 pounds). Its in my garage because I didn't need it. $400 is ridiculous. I wouldn't pay more than half that (even with shipping)..... just looked on ebay. The prices...

No offense, but you could probably buy a C pillar quicker and cheaper than it would be to make your own. Unless you have some exotic mod in mind.

Yes to all! I go out of my way to honk the horn at people just to get a laugh! Its like Mike Tyson.

I had a torn boot on the right front. Most people do suggest replacing the shaft, but if the shaft is sound, it takes 15 minutes and a $10 part to repair. I replaced the boot and haven't had any issues. I suggest from personal experience saving your money until you have to spend it (and you...

I got an 1989 M998, 6.2l, 3 speed, 4-man, 39,000 miles for $8500. It was running and mostly mechanically sound. After driving it a minute, I've since replaced the alternator, put a top and doors on it, lights, replaced bad gauges, upgraded the batteries, and a bunch of piddly repairs. I'm in...

On the back of the pocket is a horizontal retaining strap of plastic, cut those off to expand the pocket. On the inside of the curtain, cut slits on either side of the inside of the pocket to allow for the seat belt harness to slide freely. Its counter intuitive, but its what has to be done...

Peace of cake. Don't pay to have it done unless you just don't have the time. You can get it inspected at any state inspection place (they are usually so enthralled with it, that they don't knit pick it to death). Standard safety equipment, lights, adjusted parking break and you are good to...

Here's the bulletin

Everyone here has been incredibly helpful. I don't have a lot to offer mechanically, but for those trying to title their hmmwv in Texas, it turned out to be fairly simple, even with an off-highway use only SF-97 or blue title. House bill 1755 was passed this past summer and it instructs local...

Thank you! I tried to adjust the voltage as described and it did nothing. Stayed at 24.2 or so volts. I decided to go ahead and just replace the darn thing. Stung a little, but just a visual examination of the generator (even with my untrained eye) suggested that, even if I get it to work...

Got it. Thanks.

Thanks for the info! .......And, a beer sounds really good. Maybe not at 8:45 a.m. but soon......

Got it. So at 24.1, it's obviously under performing. Suggestions? Scrap it and get another?
