    Hello from NoVA

    Welcome from NOVA. This forum provides a lot of information. Mine rarely leaves the farm. Is the Syria event a Steel Soldiers thing or ?

    current shunt connection loose

    Needed an impact driver a 3/4 wrench and a 2x4 to get the nut off. It had been run up onto the non-threaded portion of the bolt. The whole thing spun freely through the shunt. Nice arc welding going on with he bold head. Someone probably dropped a washer or two during assembly or...

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    BTW, on the connector part number You can use an A instead of the E or F version if you don't need environmental sealing. The A's use a hard blue plastic instead of the elastomer insert and are usually less than 1/2 the price. MS3106A32-1p for the cable part. There are commercial equivalents...

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    Has anyone thought about rewiring the batteries through the slave port so that it acts as a disconnect? Install a plug (with the pins jumpered) and the battery is connected. Remove the plug and the batts are disconnected. Security and safety all in one. Yes, this makes the slave port...

    current shunt connection loose

    Was working in the field and the M998 suddenly wouldn't start. Made a strange noise and I saw smoke coming from the battery compartment. The bolt head that is on the ground side (not the battery ground terminal side) of the shunt had arced and is a little loose. When I rotate it slightly I...

    Sound deadening, sound proofing - which have you done and what are your results?

    When I got mine it was really noisy. Every time I hit a bump it sounded like the whole front end was going to rattle off. Found the jack under the front seat and removed it. Noise went away, no deadening required! But with no doors and a soft top it is pretty noisy running into town.

    LED blinker module suggestions

    I took the flasher handle LED bulb, unsoldered the tip while pulling the LED assy out of the socket. Reversed the wires and reassembled. Someone on this forum explained that the tip is neg and the body is pos on the flasher arm socket.

    LED replacement no flashing

    I got around to taking the LED turn indicator bulb apart and swapped the leads so the body is + and the tip is neg. Just desolder the tip, pull the shell off and swap the leads. Because I already had the bulbs....

    LED replacement no flashing

    I already had the bulbs I used, and the resistors were free, so no I didn't order more bulbs.

    LED replacement no flashing

    I've been waiting to post this until I actually do it and take pics but here's the plan. I fooled around with some resistors in parallel with the LED to increase the current draw since the LEDs were't enough to make the flasher operate. Totally going from memory but I think that 800 Ohms was...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Is that a stand-alone AC on the roof or is it run off a compressor on the engine?

    New Member M998

    Welcome. Be prepared for a wealth of knowledge. And maybe get beat up a little if you ask something asked/answered. I'm still a newbie. But if you need to know it, it is answered here.

    M1101 with troop carrier seats

    Very nice! I put the troop seats on the M998 and have brackets for the trailer so I think I'm going to do something like Mainsail did. Cheaper than another set of seats.

    Neutral Safety / reverse switch bushing

    Hi Mogman, I'm pretty new to all of this. I have a 3 speed M998 and I thought those were only required for the 4 speed or "park" version shifter or something. I could be wrong just like when I thought replacing the incandescent bulbs with LEDs was a simple swap! This forum is extremely...

    Neutral Safety / reverse switch bushing

    I was adding a backup camera and monitor and thought it would be nice to control it with the reverse switch instead of manually turning it on/off.
