    Blackout Light Wiring

    Is there a rubber seal or grommet that goes in the hole that the wiring from the front blackout light goes through? I've looked through the Parts and Tools Manual and I am coming up with nothing.

    Transmission issue in cold weather

    I had an issue this morning where I put my HMMWV in drive and it wouldn’t engage. Same with reverse. It finally did after a little back and forth. It was unusually cold today and I was wondering if I just need to let it warm up longer to not have this issue.

    Good mounted holster?

    Does anyone have any good suggestions for a mounted holster for an 87 M998? All the ones I find are magnets and that’s a no go for aluminum.

    Transmission not engaging

    I’m running into an issue and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this. If I park my 87 M998 on an incline overnight occasionally in the morning the transmission will not shift into reverse or drive unless I go back and forth a few times between the two. I have good fluid levels and...

    Power steering fluid question

    My power steering pump has been wrrrrrrrring. In the morning when it’s cold it doesn’t do it. But after it warms up it starts making noise. Also when it’s cold (before starting) the fluid level is fine but if I check it after I drive a few miles the dipstick is bone dry. Is this a big issue or...

    Wrong 24v to 12v Converter?

    I just got a stereo system installed in my M998 with a console, rear speakers, sub and amp. When I went to pick it up the shop told me that the converter that I supplied wasn't working because it was adjustable and the amp required a constant 12v converter. I have the Orion 2412-70a. Does...

    Break light adjustment

    I searched the threads and I couldn’t find info on this so I guess I’ll ask. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the break light? I have to really press down hard on my break pedal to get the lights to react. Any help would be appreciated.

    Directional switch light

    I have one of the directional switches that have the green light on it that is supposed to blink when the blinkers are blinking. I replaced the bulb with an LED but it still doesn't work. I'm not sure if I have twisted the LED enough to make a full circuit and since i have fingers like a...

    Exhaust question

    Here’s a fun question. I went to an exhaust place to get my exhaust fixed. It turns out that one of the reasons that it was so loud in the cab was because the exhaust wasn’t connected. The guy fixed it and it’s much more quiet. My question is would this make my engine run cooler? (It is).

    I'm having trouble finding a place that can mount stock tires on the stock rims. They all say that their machine isn't big enough to balance them. Any suggestions where to take them to get this done?

    Tunnel clearance question

    I'm going to be putting a piece of 3/4 in plywood down on the tunnel to help with the sound insulation. I'm going to use self tapping screws. Before I make any colossal mistakes what is the clearance under the tunnel? I know the fuel tank is under there and I don't want to puncture it.

    Fans mounted on the radiator

    I’ve seen some pics of engines that have 2 fans mounted on the radiator. Is that for an AC unit or is that to help cool? If it is to help cool does it work well?

    How Hot Is Too Hot?

    I have a question about temperature. I have a 1987 M998. It runs around 220 degrees. Some people I've talked to say that that's fine because the older ones ran hot. Some people say that I'm going to blow the head gasket. The gauge is accurate. I did an infrared temp at the thermostat. Any...
