    Axle broken? M998 front wheels not turning in shallow snow

    Did you get to see the broken shaft? Im trying to think why if you tried using the Brake/Throttle Modulation technique that the drivers side tire wouldn't turn while in High Lock? Unless the drive flange broke at the splines, or you weren't in High Lock when attempting BTM And like the other...

    Bench seat installation

    You gotta be a special kind of stupid to roll a HMMWV. Save the safety spiels as theres nothing safe about the interior of these rigs Just get an aftermarket rear seat for a Jeep CJ or YJ. Bestop, or rugged ridge are pretty common worldwide. They should fit. Not much headroom, though. But its...

    Troop seats or not

    I prefer the seats mainly because without them the truck looks to symmetrical. Front or rear look similar in four man configuration.

    Phoenix Area Mechanic Wanted! Barstow, CA Inspection-Repair on Base?

    Barstow base is a no go from what I was told. They do full refurb and service for military only. I have been working on a few HMMWVs and LMTVs in the Glendale area and might be able to help. What were you needing done?

    Transmission cooling lines quick question

    Pro tip....If the repair TM doesn't show what you are looking for, Try going to the -24P parts manual. They will usually show an exploded view of what you need without anything that would normally hide it from view.

    Any thoughts on a useful substitution for those long spring antennas

    There are these "high survivability" style antennas. All steel whip that is easily removed with a collet style retainer. Half the size and still are correct. And they are supposedly the only ones easily adapted to use with a CB radio. AS-3916 I believe

    Have you opened the valves on the air tanks to drain them yet/ever? See what you get there first.

    Wiper Extension

    Good info. I can see them on my m1123 in EUC limbo. One less thing to figure out.

    Wiper Extension

    My guess is a wiper extension for the thicker armored windshield glass? I haven't seen one with my own eyes yet. Does it have a set screw on it somewhere? Hit it with some PB Blaster just for good luck.

    What are these parts called ?

    Yes....as they were manufactured. But, still much easier to buy. I have all the equipment at work to make them and wouldn't waste my time on making some.

    Aloha from a newby

    To me, bad diesel smells like turpentine. It was cloudy brown. But this is Arizona and very dry here. Good diesel is bluish green and smells like diesel.

    What are these parts called ?

    Just judging from your avatar, this may not pertain to your truck...but the front retainers mount facing forward to give the top the correct tension in the 2 man configuration
