    Battery disconnect switch that fits? M998

    I installed one with a key in front of the shifter area that I got off of the large online auction site. I painted it green. I set mine up to break the ground side using 2/0 wire and used my hydraulic crimping tool. I think it took roughly 2 5' sections of wire which I also wrapped in that...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

We...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    They H1 and HMMWV are similar and to the best of my knowledge they share the same body and some other parts but it stops there. My 1986 HMMWV does not have many safety features that would have been needed to pass federal safety standards in its day which as I understand it the H1 models have...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I am 47 years old and have pretty much lived here all of my life I do not expect to see much positive changes around here. I cant wait until my son graduates high school to get out of Montgomery County things are much different here than they used to be. I feel their argument is going to be...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    JPFEVER - I do not disagree with anything you said and it truly sucks however I think if you take your case to court you may ruin things for the rest of us. My reasoning is this which I have not seen in writing and I do not want to challenge it because I do not want to ruin it for anyone else...

    Here is what I did it has its own power source , a USB port for charging phones and bluetooth as well as a clock. I got a nice beat up one from my friend so hopefully no one takes it. The radio is loud enough for me to hear with the top and doors off at highway speeds. I also added the AC...

    Question in the middle of swapping a busted th400/np218 for a working th400/np242

    DIY Tire Balancing

    I don't think the military had to high of expectations for tire balancing being what the HMMWV is used for and as I said balancing technology has come a long way over the past five years or so. I agree it is what it is and yes I got off subject on the DIY thread. I just assumed many were...

    DIY Tire Balancing

    Yes the GSP9700 is a Diagnostic road force balancer. No one is going to road force balance one of these tires because rotating the tire on the wheel to for lower rod force numbers would take all day since the wheels bolt together and sandwich the tires. I do like to run the road force roller to...

    DIY Tire Balancing

    The wheels may have not been properly centered on the cones or collets and its possible the wheels were bent. Its hard to get them centered without the proper adapter set. With the GSP9700 it allows the operator to measure wheel runout as well. We found NormB had a bent wheel and when we looked...

    DIY Tire Balancing

    I do not claim to be an expert in anything I was posting to help people since I know what does work. I have owned an off road shop since 2002 and our average tire size is 35" we often see 37's as they have becoming more and more popular on the Jeeps and trucks that we work on. I have owned...

    I know this is a DIY tire balance thread and I only read part of it I have heard people have had issues getting these balanced. I have also heard that most tire shops will not attempt to balance these. I have successfully balanced these tires and wheel assemblies on my Hunter Road force GSP9700...
