    Humvee Generator rattle / Video - Little confused on my options?

    Update: Generator replace with new one this evening. Volt meter is back up in the green and no more rattling. 2 questions: 1. Is there any value to the old generator, or just file it in the scrap metal bin? 2. After initially starting it a few times it idled way down and almost died a...

    Humvee Generator rattle / Video - Little confused on my options?

    For instance, this has the same NSN # as mine, but in their description it does not say for the M998? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2920-00-909-2483-SAW-9092483-28V-60A-Alternator-1-1-4-TON-5-TON-Repl-AMA5104UT-/201628190503?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

    Humvee Generator rattle / Video - Little confused on my options?

    Been driving my 1985 M998 Humvee quite a bit, just took it on about a 600 mile round deer hunting trip last weeknd to northern Minnesota. About half way through that trip I started to notice a slight rattle, it got worse on the way home. Attached a youtube link to a video I just took...

    Testing glow plugs, am I doing it right?

    Then I must be doing it right. Seems odd that 7 would fail that quickly?

    Testing glow plugs, am I doing it right?

    Having a starting problem.....it isn't. Grabbed the multi meter to check the ohm's while the plugs were still in the truck. One terminal on a ground and another on the plug bullet. While the plugs where still in the truck, 1 plug tested at 2.0 ohms. The other 7, nothing. I pulled all...

    Top plug into EESS, loosing all power intermittently?

    I'm about 2 and half weeks into my new M998 now. Had a KDS green box, was having some intermittent glow plug light issues, and voltage drops on the meter. Decided to order up an S3 from Kascar, got it Friday and installed it Saturday morning. Everything seemed fine right away and into...

    Speedometer not working. Gauge good, cable not turning. Common problem?

    I was able to peel back some of the melted plastic and get an accurate count, it is a 36 tooth. Now is that correct for an 85?

    Speedometer not working. Gauge good, cable not turning. Common problem?

    Ok, I think I found the problem! The red gear inside the T case is obviously toast as you can see. Before I took the cast piece off the top of the T case I could see with the mirror that one side was jacked up a good 1/8" so it was installed incorrectly or not straight. Now I have a...

    Glow plug light quick flash then off?

    I haven't checked the voltage, but it seems to have quite a bit of jam to turn it over when starting. Connections cleaned and good. Matt

    Glow plug light quick flash then off?

    I'm sure it's been discussed hundreds of times, and I did a search on the forum, but didn't find exactly what I was looking for. Just picked up a 1985 M998 last week, 6.2L. Did a few quick checks of the basics, got brand new 6TL batteries, and wanted to take it for a spin. First 3 days glow...

    Speedometer not working. Gauge good, cable not turning. Common problem?

    I haven't had a chance to take that apart yet, probably won't until this weekend. Assuming the key is sheared, where do I obtain one?

    Speedometer not working. Gauge good, cable not turning. Common problem?

    When you say, "gearbox" you are referring to the 90 degree part that adapts the cable into the t case, correct? I crawled underneath there tonight. I see the large nut from the speedo cable that goes into the, "gearbox". And then what looks to be a large nut that threads onto the top of...

    Speedometer not working. Gauge good, cable not turning. Common problem?

    Picked up my new to me 1985 M998 last Wed. Had to pick up some new batteries for it, got those in this weekend. Did a quick check of some basic things and wanted to take it for a spin. Everything seemed to work except the speedo? I pulled the gauge cluster and popped the speedo out...

    Issues with SF-97

    Just want to say thank you to Jwade and the govplanet team. Picked up my Humvee today after my EUC was approved yesterday. Govplanet told me 10 to 12 weeks, and that's exactly the window it fell into. Everything went smoothly picking up today, and now I'm the proud owner of a M998...
