Have you contacted West Kentucky Surplus to see what they recommend?

The ones I had that were pretty stuck I used tire lube all around the rim, then got a cheap tire spoon from harbor freight and went around the rim, tapping it in with a hammer. That would let the tire lube (or just soapy water will work if you want) to get into that area. Basically acts like...

I'd be embarrassed too. With the nonsense speak they start out their description with, I'd be hesitant to try any of their products. WTF does "powered by a multi regional synergy" even mean?

black smoke under acceleration can also be caused by an air intake restriction, not just faulty injectors or having the fuel system turned up. If it's not smoking until the acceleration, then it's probably not an injector issue, as a faulty injector with bad spray pattern will give smoke at...

Some people do stainless and don't have any real issues, but those people tend to live in places like deserts or whatnot that don't have a lot of moisture. High humidity areas, and especially areas with saltwater, galvanic corrosion will totally wreck the aluminum. Even when bolting steel...

According to the manual, before you are supposed to have the geared fan driveshaft removed to do the belt replacement. Looks like 14 bolts and 4 grease fittings need removed to pull the shaft out. I don't personally know if there is a way to do it with just some of the bolts removed, but if...

This is a common question over on the HMMWV forums, and the answer is usually "so you want to destroy your batteries?" Even a small draw on only one of the batteries will cause a charge imbalance. In the short term it wouldn't really do much, but as time goes on the upper battery in series will...

It might work, it might do nothing, or it might fry your electrical system. I don't know which of the three it will do, but it's your truck so you are more than welcome to try it and see what happens. Just let us know the outcome, be it good or catastrophic. Other people have contacted...

3118 is for the 400 amp 3135 is for the 200 amp or 100 amp. 3119 is for the 100 amp There are several others, such as N3114 having the same NSN as N3117, and both of those working in place of the 3135 on the 200 amp, though I believe the N3135 is a newer version. So to answer why not, because...

a very quick look in the parts manual showed me that the front and rear differential are the exact same part number for all A2 trucks.

BF Goodrich KM2 tires with a DOT rating on them, and in a standard automotive wheel size (17"), so I don't see why they wouldn't be road approved? image taken from one of the govplanet auctions Rim appears to be 6 lug, which is standard size for 5k axle. beadlock rims look pretty nice...

...and all of your halfshaft bolts at the brake flange end.

So for milemarker mounting, I put the SEC12 winch onto the hydraulic winch mount plate from milemarker, and bolt holes all lined up perfectly, so if the A2 winch plate bolts to the hydraulic, the electric is the same footprint.

That manual is for the ECV/REV series of trucks. The M1097A2 is part of the earlier series of trucks, so the manuals you need are a little different. This link is to all the TMs on this site for the truck you have. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tms-for-the-m998-series-hmmwv.78861/

I'm not as familiar with wiring the radio stuff, but I don't see why that wouldn't work.

If you are running 12V equipment, you will want to use a quality 24-12V converter, like the Victron Orion series. You can NOT just hook 12V stuff to the rear battery unless your truck has the dual output alternator in it, which wasn't common in the 3 speed trucks...

So as long as you get a matched set of batteries (same size, rating, and if possible same production date) then it doesn't matter. If you use the search function at the top left of the page and search this forum for batteries, you will come up with a lot of threads, as this is a commonly asked...

Not only scream, but if you try to drive at high speeds, you're likely to destroy the 400 amp alt as well as damage the electrical system in the process.

With the 400 amp alt and the tach getting it's signal from the alt, it also depends on what size pulley is on the alt for what the tach reads. 2800 rpms at 55mph in 4th gear sounds kind of high, at the same level as trucks with the small pulley on the 400 amp generator in other threads...

Yes, but it's also showing that there is only one valve stem assembly, and that isn't true because the E range have a different hole shape. If one thing is obviously wrong, then who knows what else is also wrong.
