    What's in your tire? (Run Flat Fail)

    What's in your tire? (Run Flat and Spacer) I am editing this piece since RetiredWarHorses corrected me. This is the interior of a tire with an older run flat and spacer. (I can't' delete this or I would! LOL

    Remote car starter

    Assuming the above (a delay, neutral, etc): 1. You could do a bluetooth solution going to a Raspberry Pi controller. There are numerous open-source projects for all sorts of actuators. 2. People get hung up around 24/12. technically, the lowest tech solution would be to fire a solenoid which...

    6.2L Wait to start light not coming on

    After a survey of KDS kits for sale, wow. $350 last year, now seeing $650 to $950. Ugh. Shoulda followed my gut and bought one.

    Engine Off, Lights Flicker

    I had noticed the pulsing when the engine was on. I looked and have the old controller. (Nartron, black, old model, #s too small for my old eyes to read). I read this thread about the boxes.... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?144903-EESS-PCB-replacement-for-the-HMMWV Lots of gold...

    Engine Off, Lights Flicker

    When I turn my key on, my lights flicker (rhythmically) and my amperage goes low to normal to low. There is a clicking, which I assume to be a pump somewhere. Engine starts fine. Lopes a bit when it is cold but idle evens out pretty quickly (2 minutes). Belts wobble a but when running but I've...

    HMMWV Grounding Kit Install

    I bought the kit from Kascar a couple of weeks ago and installed. Two things: My grounding was on the passenger side head. I went ahead and grounded to the drivers side head. Second thing: The gauge of the wires appeared to be "lighter" than what was shown. I don't think it makes a difference in...

    After market seats or alternate seats for HMMWV / m998 ?

    Glad there is a good thread to home this. I think I posted this somewhere else. Since I wrote this, I powder-coated, mounted the second seat. This was a tough build, a few mistakes along the way but overall, after a couple of months, I like the seats and the upside of having a beefy rollbar...

    Interested. If my HMMWV is road worthy then, we'll take a drive up!

    Keep going! I love these things and if I could find one that was titled and in good condition in CA, I would trade my M998 for it....

    Embarrassing - Looked all over at TMs

    I would like to get some fuel injectors (backups) for my 89 6.2. I have looked at the TMs but I can't find the PN. Kascar has PN 430211058 but does not indicate whether or not this is 6.2L. Also, there is short and long. I haven't found the differences in the forum.... Eternal thanks to the...

    M998 custom A/C setup

    Have been looking all over for a v-belt compressor. None on ePay. I'm wondering if I can rig an after-market. I'm doing something a bit different (heaven forbid!) than stock. I have about five of the red dot pully brackets now.....

    3L80 Tranny Leak - Troubleshooting

    I have a leak at the front of my tranny. I have not pulled the flywheel cover off yet but I wanted to ask about a friend's suggestion: He said that sometimes the torque converter may leak or cause a leak. He said to clean things up a bit and try tightening the bolts before pulling. Have you...

    Frame Reinforcement on an M998

    Agree. Considering I have open projects that will take until I'm about 90, not likely.

    Fuel Pump Replacement

    Having the same problem with a 350 Chevy two weeks ago, the axle grease is a good option. In SoCal, we get warm weather. Best to do this in the AM or the grease lets it siip due to the reduction in viscosity due to heat. Solution suggested above works.

    Frame Reinforcement on an M998

    So there are two different solutions solving different things (I saw the G503 thread late last night, thanks, it _is_ a lot of work.). The steering plate and this on the right hand side. To me, both are subject to bolt shear strength unless welded. Of course, you also get to deal with shims on...

    Frame Reinforcement on an M998

    Saw this in the auction site: 2510-01-429-9907 PN 57K0296. Has anyone installed one of these? How hard?
