Went to replace a bolt on the alternator. The spacer fell into the back. Yep that's my luck. So I had to remove the alt to get the spacer out. Well I guess I put a wire back on in the wrong place. Turned the key on to start and nothing. Then it looked like a smoke bomb going off...
I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a front protective bumper. Why, just because I wanted one. But I think it turned out pretty good.

Decided to add AC to this hot beast. I don't have the rear armor plate and didn't was to spend the money for one. I made an angle iron frame that bolted to the floor using the cargo ring mounts and mounted the frame to the fenders using bolts. I mounted the frame in the bed behind the rear...
How well do the right rear fender Red Dot AC condenser work verses the condenser mounted being the rear curtain. I know they only have a plastic shield to keep the dirt, mud, and rocks out. I've heard both good and bad but haven really heard from anyone with first hand experience on then...
Ok I added a soft top gunner station to the truck. So now it's a 5 passenger. If the gunner is attached with the safety restraint (seatbelt) as it's attached to the floor. Does it now qualify as a 5th seat legal for road use? 32 years and I've never thought about it. Reading the law I don't...
With the cost of a hard top and shipping plus I like the look of the soft top. Don't really like the slant back tips. I decided on the soft top modification. Added the gun ring torrent B pillar, attached to windshield, and made a bracket to the C pillar. Really modified the original B pillar...
The brake system is fried, no really fried. My son was pulling back into the house and the brakes were kinda "squishie".
He parked the truck and opened the hood and then saw sparks coming from the area of the master cylinder and then the brake lines got red hot. The front brake line from...
Decided to add a winch on the front and rear of the HMMWV. Rear is one simple mount plate.
The front is killing me. I can't seam to be able to find the frame mount brackets. I have a drawing of how they look but no time to sit and fab them up. I was looking at the front bumper after I took...
1990 M998 6.2. Truck was running great and then from time to time while driving it would start a loud diesel clatter / rattle and then go back to normal. Now it has the clatter is all the time. It's not like a rod knock but a clatter. Almost like when using starting fluid to start one. Also...
OK I was removing the glow plugs. Three were swollen, one really bad.
On #6 the entire glow plug tip separated from the glow plug. I have removed the injector and my son says that the tip is loose in the hole but we can't get it out. I can't really get my fat arm and fingers in...
OK I am totally baffled.
The glow plugs will not work and cycle and keep frying.
HMMWV came with fried plugs and bad PCB box. Replaced plugs, PCB, and controller from known good truck. Plugs fried. Replaced PCB with new box, has 3rd access port on box, new controller, new plugs and the...
Well I got time to paint it. Lipstick on a sure makes the pig look a lot better.
Got it almost done and realized I used Forest Green so repainted with RAPCO 383 green. Looks a lot better with the lighter green.
I still need to do the three color camo. Can't decide on the RAPCO brown or just...
Any way to lower the operating temp on a 6.2. 1990 M998 The fan cycles somewhere above 205 / 210. Noise and loss of power and heat are my issues. Thermostat in the truck says A180 but it looks like the motor is running 205 - 210. I would like to get the temp down some so the fan doesn't...
What is the going price for a M998 that has a clear Texas title?
I am thinking about letting one of my trucks go but not sure on the price or to the old ebay sale and hope for the best.
Keep having an exhaust leak from the manifold to exhaust pipe. Got a NOS gasket but only lasted maybe a week then leaked again. Used a gasket from carb rebuild kit and again only lasted maybe a week until it started leaking again. Any idea on the best gasket to use or idea on fixing it?
This one had me baffled and was thinking someone thinking it was funny and was jacking with my truck. I drove it to work, well to get my work car about 3 miles. It ran just fine but it was really cold....ok 28, that's cold to me. Ran just fine. Got in it to come home and spit, sputter...
OK I have looked and can't find the install manual for the M151A2 hot water heater. I have kit NSN 2340-00-764-5917. Have tee heater assembled. Main issue is where the fresh air intake comes through the cowl and where the heater hoses come through the firewall. Anyone have the manual or can...
