I have a extremely long thread on my ordeal with Florida DMV Sucks Thread. The short story is that if you go to a large DMV office in a major Florida city, you have no chance of getting a Florida tag, military, collector car, whatever. They invalidated my out-of-state title I got from the...

When I did this I bought a kit that had everything. Not sure it is worth doing piecemeal. Just google: HUMVEE FUEL WATER SEPARATOR FILTER M998 4330-01-189-0889 And Main Fuel filter A910162 come with the orings usually. At the time I bought this last year, there was no HUMVEE tax on this...

Hello again folks. Another newbie question here. Possibly something I am concerned about for no reason, but I will ask anyway since is the first diesel engine I have owned. I understand it is possible, but not likely, that the 6.2 NA can run away under some unlikely conditions. So I am thinking...

Thank you, but no need to measure. I'll just plan on removing the combined receiver / pintle unit I have and replace it with one or the other, probably a 2" receiver.

Yet another newbie question for the experts. I was thinking of mounting a rear hitch on my M998, using part number 5340-01-485-5962, this Humvee m998 WINCH MOUNTING PLATE: I have this bumper and receiver. Will 5340-01-485-5962 work on the bumper I have and will I be able to keep the...

Last month I installed a gear reduction starter. Seems ok so far. Some positives, some negatives. This is the one I used: Rareelectrical 24 VOLT GEAR REDUCTION STARTER COMPATIBLE WITH 92-04 AM GENERAL HUMMER HUMVEE 5.7 6.2 6.5 DIESEL 5744719 Here is the good, the bad and the ugly of the gear...

Not to restate what others stated, but if you want to try to get yourself out of it on the cheap without other heavy equipment, and there is a tree or something you can anchor to not too far away, you and use a come-along with some heavy duty straps. Takes forever and not pleasant in the mud...

I figure I would post this in case someone like me wants to use a double pole rocker switch to manually control their fan clutch based on @Mogman excellent drawing. Like Mogman indicated, I ran three 18 guages wires under one jacket into the cab. I used a "Waterproof Rocker Switch Toggle...

These are not the products the military uses, so no HUMVEE tax from the vendors, but is what I used when I installed a 24V Serpa. Great winch BTW! For the protective coating, search for "NOCO NCP2 CB104 4 Oz Oil-Based Brush-On Battery Corrosion Preventative, Corrosion Inhibitor, and Battery...

Not to hijack this older thread, but one of the last maintenance items on my M998 I got last year was to to replace all the belts and I just started experiencing belt squeal after repairing the AC on my 92 M998, with 6.2 and generator. Mainly the AC belt, but I figured I would confirm the part...

and you really need a bunch of specialized (expensive) equipment, like GOOD gauges, vacuum pump, leak detector. and you really need a way of recovering refrigerant unless you like pissing off the greenies. Actually, the basics can be "borrowed" with a large deposit from AutoZone. But it is so...

Just to add my 2 cents, having done this twice in the last few months... Use a third jack with a block of wood on the transfer case. It helps get the right angle so the whole assembly mates up to the engine... And for the tranmission jack, don't use the cheap mechanical tranny jack from Harbor...

Excellent suggestion. Why didn't I think of that? When I briefly short the terminals, the starter does indeed spin. So the starter is ok. I'll investegate some more once I get a good VOM.

Well, got a new VOM and of course the Chinese POS was no good out of the box so I am waiting again on replacement. Even the Fluke ones that are hundreds of $ are Chinese. In the meanwhile I did check all the battery connections and I did find one loose terminal but tightening it up did not fix...

Another update on the gear reduction starter. Found that the two piece torque converter cover, the part that covers the starter - the holes won't line up with this starter. So I'll have to look at how to solve that. The starter seems to be working well. Yesterday, I replaced the leaking...

Another update on this gear reduction starter. I decided to give it a try, and keep the rebuilt original as a spare. Still a PITA to install even though it is less than half the weight of the original. Good news is all the original wiring reached after a bit of fiddling. The only modification...

Bit of an update. I hoped I could pull the tranny back far enough to R&R the flexplate and avoid dropping the tranny completely but sadly, I could not move it far enough back because the tank and muffler prevented that. So I had to drop the tranny. :cry: I received the gear reduction starter...

Thank you. Reading a bit more, I see a gear reduction starter will have problems without the proper front support bracket. I see GM part number 23502557 might be the correct part for a gear reduction starter on a big block GM engine, 454 gas or 6.2 or 6.5 diesel. I have to look at the block...

Indeed I am not see much talk about using a gear reduction on a HMMWV. Questions I see that were asked include: Do you use the same shim? Will the existing wiring reach? Do you need a different front support? I see they offer it on Amazon and it is returnable. I'm thinking of trying it and...

The HotRod guy like the gear reduction starters because they are: lighter, less weight = go faster smaller, easier to fit headers I stumbled on to this. Wondering if the wires will reach? Do I use the same shim? Wondering what you guys think...
