Has anyone added a 12v alternator to your humvee with a 6.2 or 6.5? I be interested in learning more about your set up if so.
I have a 24 to 12 converter but I'm getting beyond what my 60 amp alternator can keep up with. I also got a heck of a deal on a 12v winch I'd like to add.
I'm thinking...
I have an M998 that ran fine one day, the next it wouldn't even crank. I can start it with one of those starter jumper tools.
Anyway, working through the startability test and I'm to the point on page 388 it asks me to test continuity from the engine connector harness socket "I" to the 74A...
I have 3 of these units that I use to heat a big barn and sometimes 1 for my garage. When they work, they work awesome but it seems like I'm always having to take them apart and work on them. I don't use them that often. Does anyone else have the same issue or does yours just work all the time...
There is a guy on FB selling a set of 4 x-doors from Sandusky, OH for $2500. The price seems pretty reasonable, comes with locking doors, windows, gaskets and strikers. Anyone bought these?
I have a M998 with soft doors. The windows are getting where you can't see out of them real well and a couple of them are having zipper issues. Those of you who went from soft to hard doors, is it worth the money? Are the hard doors any quieter? What does an x-door with the window that goes up...
Hello all,
One of my input seals on my M998 geared hub started leaking a few weeks ago. I got new seals and shim gaskets and worked on it this past weekend. Unless I am missing it somewhere in the TM, I can't find anything that states how far the seal should be pressed in. My other one was...
While troubleshooting an issue I've been working on, I noticed that the keyway for the speedometer key looks like the below picture. They keyway is not what I would call a well defined square profile. It almost looks rounded off. Is this how it is supposed to look? This T/C was removed from...
My rear tires have a bit of an inward camber to them so I thought I'd try removing some shims since I just put on some new tires. Is there a trick to getting that big bolt out? The nuts came off pretty easy but those bolts aren't budging. Any tricks you all have used? I'm about out of ideas...
Has anyone tried the gauge set from MME? They are a bit pricey on their site but just wondered if anyone had tried them and if they are as plug and play as it says.

I replacing my 6.2 with a 6.5TD in my M998 a few months ago and we just swapped in a 4L80E. I went with the EZ-TCU controller and I need an RPM signal for it. I thought I could use the RPM sensor in the front of the 6.5td but I don't seem to have a signal from either pin though the controller...
I'm in the process of swapping in a 4L80E into my M998. I bought the EZ-TCU to be my controller. Lot's of threads of people having issues getting this set up. If you have gone through this, do you care to share your settings with those that might be doing this in the future, like me? I'm...
My fan quit working some time ago on my M998 but I'm just now getting around to troubleshoot it. Previously, it started cycling on and off quickly one or two times, then would stay on to cool. But it would come on early, somewhere around 190-195 so it was running pretty much constantly once that...
Hello all,
I have been reading a lot of threads on this swap as many others have done it but I'm not finding anything that answers my question. I would be surprised if this hasn't been answered but I didn't come across it. First, as I mentioned I have a M998 that came with the 6.2. I bought a...
Hello all. I have an M998 that I'm doing a 6.2 to 6.5l TD swap on and was looking at all the air box to see what could be done to help with air flow to the turbo. The filter looks like about 1/2 of it is covered with that baffle. Has anyone trimmed that baffle and or the stack to help with air...
Hello all,
My Choctaw heater has decided not to work since it has gotten cold out and I could really use it. I have run the tests in the manual for no spark. I can't figure it out, I tested the terminals under the control panel and that was ok. I've tested that I have voltage to the capacitor...
I have seen in the past things I would like to bid on in Washington but that is a long way from Indiana. Anyone have a connection they deal with in that area that could help with picking items up and getting them shipped to Indiana?
I picked up a new to me Choctaw H140 duct heater earlier this week. I was excited to get it home and fire it up and see if it was going to work for what I was hoping to use it for. But, right now I just have an expensive duct fan. Vent mode is the only mode that works. I filled it up with off...
So I noticed yesterday that I had ATF dripping from behind my passenger front tire. After taking the ATF soaked filter out and cleaning out the canister, I came inside and started reading through threads on the vampire issue. Lot's of great info! Back out today to check the transfer case, about...
I would like to put a receiver hitch on my Humvee. I have found a couple on the auction site and the big "A" that look decent. I wondered if any of you that has one of these could take a measurement for me? I am curious what the dimension is from the floor to the inside bottom of the receiver. I...
