    HMMWV Ball Joints

    Over the weekend, I noticed that both front CV boots had split open. So, while I was installing the new axles I had sitting on the shelf, I thought it would be a good time to put in the new lower ball joints. My M998 had the original, non-serviceable, lower ball joints. The old ball joints...

    Glow Plug Removal Tool

    Do any of you folks have a glow plug removal tool like this? GLOW PLUG TOOL This looks like the preferred method. I am weighing my options on making or buying. Unfortunately, the one in the attachment is out of stock. If I could rent or borrow one, that would be great. Happy to let the...

    HMMWV Sliding Windows

    I am about to take apart 3 of the windows on my X-doors. The TM's lay out a pretty straight forward process. I purchased new springs, but was wondering what else I may encounter that prevents the peg from engaging the hole in the door? Any experience on this one? Thanks. -Economist.

    Tailgate and Rhino Carrier

    I have a Rhino swing away tire carrier that I installed on my M998. I see that Ted has one on the M998 just sold on Hummer Marketplace. Has anyone else installed one? My tailgate hits the tire carrier and will not open fully. I tried rotating the large nut that holds the arm threads in...

    Oil Pressure M998

    The TM indicates that operating oil pressure should be in the 40 to 60 PSI range. My M998 is relatively new to me, but I noticed that it is consistently just above 30 at idle. I did an oil and filter change and triple check fluid level. Still runs at just above 30 at idle. Is this normal...

    Slow to Start

    I am starting to work through the issues on my (new to me) M998. It started to get a little cooler here, finally. The HMMWV was starting a little slow on the first start of the day. I thought it must be batteries. So, I dropped two new 800 CCA, gel batteries in here. She still starts a bit...

    Swapping V-belts on a HMMWV

    I started to swap out the 4 V-belts in my M998. The TM says "disconnect the quick connect on the front of the fan". Does one use wrenches or is it a push or pull connect? I followed the lines back to the power steering pump, so I assume it has hydraulic fluid in the line. I am trying to...

    Engine RPM Governor

    I have to get my M35A3 emission tested today to get registered in AZ. When I took my GMC and Hummer H1 in, they made me stomp the pedal to the floor several times. Both of the diesel motors have an RPM governor, so it did no harm. Does anyone know if the CAT motor in the A3 has the same, or...

    Solenoid M35A3

    My truck had started to give me fits on start up about a week ago. About every 5th attempt, she would be non-responsive. I searched the forum, the internet and the TM's. I took a voltmeter and tested various points down the line. Narrowed it down to the solenoid. For next steps, the only...

    What is on my dash?

    I have searched both the internet and on the forum for some clues. Do you all have these things on your A3 dash? What are they for? In the picture, they are a series of small hooks (one set on driver and one set on passenger side). Any help would be much appreciated. (They rattle like crazy...

    New to the Deuce World

    After much anticipation, I finally took delivery of my new Deuce yesterday afternoon. While I wish I had one of the cool recovery stories that I have read here on the forum, mine is simply the long saga of searching for, finding, paying for and then taking delivery of a Deuce. So, here are a...
