No eye bolts or safety chain plate on M38A1's the trailer chains would hook to the lift rings inside the bumperettes, but USMC M38A1's moved the lift rings to the outer lip of the rear bumper after reinforcing it, so the trailer chains would not reach out that far, so, just curious, as they left...

Hose was replaced a few years ago, so is still good, but I dropped the leaking tank and had it cleaned, repaired and lined. Putting it back in today with floor jack to hold it in place and I pulled the filler neck and cap and the hose. Can't find answer by searching, so here goes...do I install...

Picked up well worn Type !!! S-788 shelter, don't know if it has a/c and/or generator until I get it opened up. My game plan was to place it in the bed of a non running but complete M998, paint it up desert tan and use it as a signage and photo op vehicle in front of local military museum...

Picked this trailer up today from a farm auction. Data plate says Stevens A2501M67. Don't know why it is not in order, but I'm guessing this is a variant of the M105 1 1/2t trailer around 1967. But I can't find any reference to the steel landing wheel. It is 24v with military tail lights...

Need M998 to transport US Army Black Knights at an air show tomorrow and just discovered that my drivers side rear seat base plate and cushion are missing. Want to cut a piece of plywood so that I can carry a jumper back there. But my M998 is staged at the PDK airport and I'm not near it, so...

I'm away from my shop and manuals and want to pull the front diff cover to see why a small leak. Any tips or tricks to the removal? Got all the bolts out but two on the passenger side, one comes loose but cannot be removed as it bottoms out against the caliper bracket. The blt right aboth it...

Looked at a friends 73 Ax today and pretty original, not a lot of Bubba mods. Missing lift rings and brackets on front, felt like holes in the rear for snorter and antenna mount. But, on each front fender, five hholes in same pattern on both front fenders about half way from cowl to grill...

I restore a lot of military vehicles and reproduction, blank data plates have always been available for me to stamp with vehicle serial numbers and DODs. But, I need two for two M998s that are being restored and I'm not having any luck finding some. Don't know if it's a military regulation...

Have several two piece whip antennas for the Humvee era vehicles and several spring bases and mounts. All are the same size thread and match up perfectly. I needed one moure base and picked one up in a estate auction parts lot. Mounted it to my mount M998 and it bolts up perfectly, but my...

Have an opportunity to pick up a kit with at least two remote spots and several UV lights on several bars. NOS originally for the MRAP but was told will fit Humvee. All excited and then someone told me that these were surplused because they were pulled off all the MRAPs due to power issues and...

The Bubba fire department that had my truck did a great job of welding up a civilian exhaust system that will probably out live me, so I hate to cut it all off, but it ends under the truck bed and I'd like to have my local exhaust shop fabricate a tail pipe that would look somewhat stock. I...

Recently acquired M998, so no history to refer to and forum search does not reveal exactly this isse I am having. Smart Start system works and after engine start engine idles smooth. But, after a frew minutes the idle increases and then settles back down, increases then settle back down. Not...

If I'm reading my GA statutes correctly, all vehicles on state roads built after 1954 must have turn signals and vehicles built after 1965 must have seat belts. So, my Kaiser M715 built in 1967 should have both. It has the military wiring and turn signals, but no seat belts. Nor any...

I had another thread started on bypassingthe heater core due to a leaking one. I had to change direction on that and now have a week or so to do it a little more correct. I have a parts M998 that I hope the heater core is solid and want to just swap out the two heater cores. I have found all...

In a bit of a panic with this M998. Have an event in two days that is a short drive away. On a test drive today, running the heater and getting anti freeze on the passenger floor, so heater core is bad. Long term I can replace heater core but it aint' gonna happen tomorrow. If I leave all...

Came in a lot of Humvee parts and i know this is not Humvee. Estate also had 2 2/3 t and 5 t trucks and the trailer forum suggested the "service" tag indicated air brakes. So here I am. Only one, drivers side and 24v four wire packard connectors. Don't need this thing and want to pass it...

This came in a lot of take off Humvee parts, and presume it has nothing to do with a Humnvee. What little I have worked on WWII trailer, they usually had a bracket similar to this to hang a tail light from. So guessing modernish trailer. Service tag riveted to bracket but no other data. 24 v...

Noticed this nicely cut out section of the drivers pillar that is intact on my other M998's. Any idea what was in that location that the military or Bubba felt the need to cut out prior to transfer to me?

Getting M998 ready for Veterans Day events and markings are in order. Can't locate web site or data base to help with acquiring estimated hood registration number based on data plate info. Any help appreciated. Here is what is on data plate: AM General 163209 NG4LWL 02/95 Daae07-89-c-0998

Picked up some NOS parts from an estate auction and there were 90 of these cables in a box of parts. All the other parts were Humvee, so I'm making a presumption here. Thinking maybe throttle cable, but pics I see show entire cable length is sheathed. This one is 45" long with 18" beint...
