Again, I would like to thank all the folks here that provided their collective wisdom on my winch project!
Success!
I installed a Serpa "Mustang" 24V 9500lb winch which fit into this cool mounting plate: HMMWV Humvee Hummer m998 FRONT WINCH MOUNTING PLATE KEEP FACTORY LOOK Heavy Duty
That...
I was just curious what the "correct" bypass hose would have been for my 6.2 but it seems VERY different than just a 5" So I googled 23500084 and it shows as 3/4" id at each end? Looks like it is just a section of 3/4" heater hose to me?
On my rig maybe someone changed the water pump or the...
I have a 6.2 so mine is a bit different I am guessing. That is the water pump bypass hose I think?
I bought a "complete" kit that supposedly had every hose for my app. Well, not so much, and not the right hoses. They did not include the bypass hose, and the hose that went to the surge tank was...
Oh boy - perfect timing for me. I just change all hoses and was about to pour in the Prestone when I saw this thread. So now I am not so sure what to use.
There are a thousand products on the Sprawlmart web site. Got a link?
If you are referring to the Super-Tech brand, looks like it is a...
Another newbie question. I tried searching but I am not finding the answer.
I am eventually looking to upgrade the stock M998 generator because I am installing an electric winch.
Seems like the price of the NOS 450 amp generators are much less than beatup "used" 200 amp generators that are...
Let me contribute to the "How many pages does it take to change a light bulb" thread :goodjob:
I just replaced the turn signal indicator bulb with this one. There are cheaper ones on Amazon now. LED-24-BA9S-W - 24-28VAC/DC T3-1/4 BA9S WHITE
Very bright. This is ok where you only need light in...
Another newbie question. Does the differentials on the M998 require a differential friction modifier if the 75W-90 Gear Oil does not have it?
Thanks in advance!
Well I actually found a picture of a winch mount with Luverne brush guard - I just don't know where I could get one. Or perhaps this was a custom made one.
Another possibility from RetiredWarHourses:
I see that Block Dog Customs sell those winch specific plates. Requires powder-coating which is not a problem. Just a more expensive option as those Sherpa winches are pricey!
I have done a ton more reading but I am still confused. I would greatly appreciate any additional advice from the collective.
I think a front winch is all I need. I don't want a receiver type front mount.
At the moment, I am thinking about using a Mile Marker SEC12 12,000 lb Waterproof 24V...
Another newbie inquiry.
I tried a search but I am not finding anything close that helped. I have a M998 and I would like to keep the brush guard on the front and the rear bumper and I am looking for winch mount for either the front or rear.
Might there be some off-the-shelf winch mount...
All good with the advice on this forum.
No way to get at it without taking off the dog house. Was not to bad with the AC underneth the radio shelf, I just had to remove the four bolts for the radio shelf, and then I was able to crack open the Dog House several inches without disturbing the AC...
Thank you for all the info folks. So I picked up a 3500 RPM black tach for just a bit over $100. I think I will try to make my own mount and if it looks like crap I can always buy something else later.
I wanted to find that sensor on the engine so I opened the hood and I believe I saw it way on...
Hi Folks - another newbie seeking more wisdom :unsure:
I did a search and found lots of information on how people installed a tach on later Humvees with the 6.5 and alternators. But mine is a 6.2 and has a generator.
I will probably mount mine high like shown here:
I see that most of the...
I resurrect this old thread but will add what I did in-case it helps someone.
I got a NOCO GENIUS GEN5X2, 2-Bank, 10-Amp (5-Amp Per Bank) Fully-Automatic Smart Marine Charger and mounted it behind the front seat battery compartment and fished the leads through a convenient hole there into...
Another Newbie question.
I thought the lights I had on my M998 were fine, at least the turn signals, stop lights and headlights. The BOL were not working. So I took apart just the rears and I found the inside of the rear lights were about half way filled up with mud! Also, the lens assembly...
