Dilvoy, Great observation on disconnecting the shafts and the impact on braking. Still getting my head around that concept! I really like the idea of the rotating shafts not causing the diff to rotate. If this hoilds true, then the pursuit of a 2WD option on the t-case will actually provide...

Yeah, having second thoughts about the roll bar serving as a tire carrier. I'm not getting any younger, and 160# ain't a walk in the park for anyone. From what I've found (or haven't found), I'll just have one made. Predator is a bit pricey for me. Thanks for the feedback. More questions on...

Does anyone have a source for a roll bar for an M998 cargo area? I've got a 4-man config and would like to add the roll bar/cage that slants back to carry a spare and for general safety. Hopefully this has been done before. Thx, Jon

I read the article on swapping the tranny - very thorough and a great read. Once I do put in the OD, I will not be using an ECM, opting for simplicity, thus the 700-R4 or a Dodge 47RH. His final thoughts sort of tell the story I have in my head - that once it kicks in OD, it was all worth it...

All valid points. Too bad someone doesn't make a lockout mechanism for those hubs. If it weren't too much trouble, I'd disconnect the front half shafts along with the OD and 242 T-Case. But you're right, I'd be doing a LOT of work that pretty much defeats the purpose of having a HMMWV anyway...

Thanks, Augi. I realize the absence of lockout hubs, but the resistance back from the wheels through a non-engaged front axle consumes less energy than it takes to propel those same wheels. However, I also realize at this point I'm basing this on the math, and fully expect to have a different...

It is a 1990, S/N 101192. Plans involve nothing really heavy, no off road competitions, if that's what you're asking. Hunting, farm use, etc. If I recall, the 218 has a low range of greater than 2, correct? 2:1 is actually fine, considering the geared hub config and the 2.56 diff gearing, so...

Just bought an M998 A0. The 6.2 has been replaced with the 6.5, but the 3-speed tranny and NP218 T-case remained. Although I do respect the original config of only 4WD, I really would like to swap the TC for one with a 2WD option in addition to 4H, 4L and 4HL. Long term plan is to drop in a...

I got one in Tx a couple weeks ago - can't wait to go get it! I was really bummed at the off-road restriction, but I happen to own a small farm. Turns out Tx DMV will allow a farm use title and farm tags. Tx law allows me to drive a farm tagged vehicle between home and farm, plus other uses...
