    1991 M998 starting issues that I just cannot figure out Please help!!!

    Thanks for the fast response but I did check that and they are correct. I replace the cheap key switch for the real lever switch hoping that was the problem. Power is being back fed somewhere it shouldn't. I am wondering if I may have a problem up at the alternator as a lot of wires head up to...

    No start issue; seeking advice

    Looks like the engine harness fired. ****. Found melted wires. In the market for a new engine harness but what is the difference between the 6.2 and the 6.5 as I have. The listings for a harness all list for the 6.2. It is not a turbo. Thanks for the help. Mark

    HMMWV electrical problem please help. Headlights out no volt meter and no wait light

    I did disconnect the batteries but found water in the old box so something shorted out. Would a bad temp unit cause these issues? I don't believe so. The boxes had the same model number. I put the dried out control box back in just for testing and it has the same issue. No headlights but does...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finally got around to installing my X Doors. Took a lot of prep to make them reasonable for paint but oh so worth it. They also made the cabin a whole lot quieter. Mark

    Coolant Surge Tank, is this genuine or aftermarket?

    That can't be a military vendor with being as poorly made as it is but it could be a reject in any case I would send it back. Mark

    Oil Pan holes 6.5 turbo

    Yes those dents/holes look like they came from the outside in so it is possible the motor itself is ok. Once the pan is pulled the tale will be told. Mark
