I acquired a M1078 that came without the aluminum cargo bed side and rear panels (dropside assembly), and am trying to find out what the NSN part numbers are for finding these panels. I have the TM's that Patracy (spelling?) posted but am having some confusion deciphering the lingo for part(s)...
The M998 I drove at work today heated up to 240 and coolant appears to be leaking at the bottom of the water pump. Where can I pick up a thermostat and water pump/gaskets to replace the old ones? I work in the Klickitat River basin in SW Washington State.
Did the swap with that Doghead relay last year on the hatchery M1008 plow truck. No issues with starting after that. Simply is a must do. Took 30 minutes of my time.
I put the truck up on stands. Locked the hubs, put in 4WD, put in drive and nothing - no front shaft turning at all, or rear shaft for that matter. Hubs unlocked in 2WD, rear shaft spins fine in drive. 4WD shifter linkage looks ok under there. the Big Ah Ha moment was when employee who reported...
Hi all,
Our M1008 plow truck wont engage in drive when put into 4 wheel drive. Tested this with wheel hubs unlocked. Looking through TM right now, but is this a switch issue? Happen to anyone out there? Mucho appreciated if someone can tell me how easy this is to fix.

Wow! That does look good. we just put a helmet top on our M998, a four door setup. Doors dont fit so hot though. We have a second top we are mulling over what to do with.
Hey, I'm using the TM9-2320-289-34P to identify parts I need to buy for a M1008 drivetrain (and many thanks again to the Admin who posted these TM's!). How do you use the Part Number or Usable on Codes to find the right part number for an auto parts store?
Maybe this is kind of a dumb...
I've seen posts in this forum where members talk about fire departments aqcuiring these vehicles, as well as police departments. My friend was looking for some HMMWV's for our wildland firefighting program. Way back when, he had a shot as a purchaser to buy the wildland fire fighting version of...
Administrators, please let me know if this is not the right forum for this thread.
My question to anyone who knows is what is happening with some of the early HMMWVs that are supposed to be undergoing surplussing by the Army? this past summer my friend talked to contacts at the JBLM DRMO who...
@Papakb: the cycling seems as you describe when starting the vehicle. I have a battery powered test light to see if the glow plugs still have life in them (do this before considering GPC replacement). How spendy are the green label KDS boxes (and the S3 box)? Maybe it would be a good idea to...
My bad...it is a 1987 M998 HMMWV, the real deal. From this day hence I will refrain from calling it a hummer! I will look at the TM and this forum for testing a bad GP controller. I posted a shot of it after it just got done pulling a crippled M1008 Chevy up a 22% grade with 3 hairpin turns.
