    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    The +24V, +12V are labeled. The red terminal is easily identifiable, and gets connected to 5A. The other two smaller terminals are not labeled, and are both beige. There is a yellow dot painted between the red and beige terminals on one side, which leads me to believe that beige one gets 2A...

    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    NSN 2920-01-458-9238 - seems to fit. Just was not sure what the extra beige terminal should or should not be jumpered. I asked Niehoff.

    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    Just wanted to double check the wiring for the three connectors on the 200 AMP regulator. I ran a 12V heavy gauge battery cable to the first battery positive terminal and will connect that to the big 12V lug. There are three terminals on the regulator. On one side of the regulator - there...

    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    Hello, Once again I ask the collective for guidance on a question I came up with regarding upgrading a 60 AMP to 200 AMP gen. Please reference this YouTube: at the 16:30 mark. The creator references that there is a second cable supplied in the conversion kit that goes to the first battery...

    Transmission swap RPM issue

    I had to read this several times so perhaps I am still confused since I am a newbie. Why did you not take the 6.5L and 4L80 together to the other truck? Is the 6.5 shot? When I swapped the TH400 with a 4L80 on my 6.2, I bought the US Shift tranny controller with their harness. I also got a new...

    M1097R1 battery replacement help

    If you want the best, closest you can come to the military ones - the Oddyssey seem to be rated the longest lasting on this forum. I found them cheapest at Batteries Plus believe it or not. They had to be ordered but came in within a couple of days and they were fresh. They often offer a 10%...

    Tranny dip stick and Xfr case size

    I am not one of the forum's experts and I am surprised no one has chimed in yet on this, but I will give it a whirl. Regarding the transmission dip stick picture - the engine needs to be hot and transmission up to operating temperature when the dip stick is read. The engine needs to be...

    Frequency @ AC terminal on N3135 Regulator with 200A Alternator

    @Mogman is the ultimate authority as I am just a newbie here but here is my 2 cents worth :) I installed the Military tach, so I paid the HMMWV tax as usual instead of using something affordable. I just hooked it up to a "run" +24V source, ground, +24V from the dash bulbs and two sensor wires...

    Wiring

    Not to hijack your thread, but this may be of interest to you for interior lights: How To: Interior "Dome" lights - without door switches To answer your question, I ran wire(s) direct to the 12V post and 24V terminal posts of the battery - fused of course, for power source. And I got ignition...

    M998 6.2L 3speed Important Spare Parts for Road Trip

    :ditto: A cell phone and AAA membership for a tow. Just let them know you need a standard flatbed - it will fit. But if you are stuck off road, best to go with some buddies that can drag you out as AAA won't do off road recoveries.

    X DOORS

    I cannot answer the question about those x-doors on a helmet top as I am a newbie and the previous owner bought and installed what I have so I have no idea where they came from. But the x-doors installed, and the helmet top too are fiberglass. Kind of rough finish.

    Odyssey PC2250ST 6tl the bad? best seller?

    I have the NOCO X2 and I can confirm it will work correctly connected to both batteries. They have an accessory to power it with an external outlet. I hooked it up using an outdoor extension cord at the rear wheel well. I just plug in the extension cord and it trickle charges both batteries...

    M998 60 Amp to 200 Amp Generator Conversion - V-Belt Question?

    I am hoarding parts for a 60 Amp to 200 Amp generator conversion and I need the knowledge of the collective again. This time, it is belt routing after the conversion. I bet there is someone here that has a 200 AMP generator with AC and can tell me how their v-belts route! A "Normal" M998 with...

    AC belt squeal

    I too had this same problem. Same belt setup. I was going to replace all the belts once the Florida Inferno dissipates. I am not sure how old the belts on the truck are, so I was going to replace them all just as general maintenance. Plus the hose for the fan clutch that looks old and has...

    LVOSS launcher

    Just to post another idea for shows and parades. I was watching one of the car shows on Motortrend, and they rigged up an air tank with an electronic valve and it spit out confetti rather impressively. It spit it out pretty far. Might keep the ATF off your back, these days they are looking for...

    Odyssey PC2250ST 6tl the bad? best seller?

    Had mine in for about a year now. Like them. Ask me in about 8 years and I'll tell you if I love them or not.

    Found a spring hanging from parking brake?!

    It is amazing how much of a racket it makes with that broken spring. Just watch out for the HMMWV tax! When I replaced mine a year ago, the best price I could find was a little over a $1 each, but $25 shipping! So I ordered a few. Or wait till you need a few things and make a large order - if...

    NOOB: Strange "Whistling" Noise?

    I finally got around to hooking up a digital VOM at the batteries and drive it around. The voltage with the engine running, any speed, any load, was pretty consistent at 27.3 to 27.4 volts. Extremely stable - pretty much the same within 0.1 volts between idle or 2000 RPMs, or stopped at a light...
