    I have a 6.2L so I don't have to pull as hard.

    Bought a 1992 M998

    Maybe you're just getting timed out by the site. One work around would be to type up whatever in Word, and then just cut and paste it into a reply here.

    Security

    Yeah, but in your case that was probably just karma given how quickly you get salty with everyone on this board. :)

    Security

    I guess you can never have too much security...but are our rides really that much of a theft threat? I have insurance, and a keyed switch. I don't see a lot of thieves going after my 30 year old MV that turns heads where ever it goes. My buddy has a deuce, uses the old chain around the...

    Security

    Here's my current set up.... I used to have a keyed switch where the original military spec "toggle" switch was, but I think it might have been causing me fits with the PCB, so I punted it. While this switch isn't hidden, I really like the new set up. Turn the keyed switch to "on" and the...

    1989 am general humvee need advice

    The truck in question has the title headache? Where's that? There has been a lot alleged but I didn't see any real title issue verified. I don't see where you're getting a non grey area title at this price either.What does it offer that the pic of the GP doesn't? Roof, doors, and probably a...

    1989 am general humvee need advice

    From the very quick look video, it looks pretty good to me (other than the flat looking rear passenger tire). Many mention all these great deals, but you have to compare apples to apples and then factor in your own unique circumstances. There are dozens on GP and other sites that are $10k or...

    New HMMWV Owners - great older U.S. Army video HMMWV Operation 1991

    So that's what a working Wait To Start light does!!! :-)The new PCB, Temp Sensor and Engine Wiring Harness goes in this weekend....hopefully that does the trick.

    Hmmwv won't start

    I'm by no means an expert, as I am running down my own issues....but I have learned a bit. The bottom line is, the Wait To Start (WTS) light should be coming on for 8-10 seconds if the motor is cold and the outside temp is cold. As others have said, the PCB should have correct and matching...

    HMMWV Won't Start - Even after the usual suspects have been repaired......

    I'm with your cousin. My mechanic wanted to just repair the currently fried PCB, and see if that worked. But my feeling is that there's probably something else going on that allowed it to fry out in the first place. So I'm going with a new PCB and matching TSU. I'm also replacing the engine...

    HMMWV Won't Start - Even after the usual suspects have been repaired......

    Is this the correct wiring harness?

    HMMWV Won't Start - Even after the usual suspects have been repaired......

    Well....he found the culprit. See pics below of inside the control box. This was aledgedly a new box from a previous repair. I have a few questions... 1). What is the likely cause of this getting fried out? 2). Is this repairable? Like trying 2 new transistors? Or is a new box needed...

    HMMWV Won't Start - Even after the usual suspects have been repaired......

    The only surprise I'm getting is that I'm not getting a solid long glow even after all the new components.

    HMMWV Won't Start - Even after the usual suspects have been repaired......

    Control Box, TSU, and Glow Plugs were all replaced at the same time. Still had the issue. After this, I replaced the TSU, Glow Plugs and installed the ground harness, and the ignition switch. The other issue is that I'm having another party do the work, as I am a mechanical midget. Thanks...

    HMMWV Won't Start - Even after the usual suspects have been repaired......

    I know these not starting threads are popping up like bunny rabbits, but I'm at the end of my rope with this issue.The truck seems to start right up, and run fine in warm weather. However, it just won't start in cold weather. The WTS light has only worked maybe 2-3 times and when it did, the...

    Bought a 1992 M998

    I almost went with Plan B, since I don't have the time, place, tools or skills to buy cheap and then repair and paint. But, I went another seller, and have a bit of buyers remorse. So far it's been an awesome warm weather vehicle, but as soon as it's cold, she just won't start. The WTS light...

    My first hummer.....which one is best

    No way would I recommend getting a HMMWV for your stated use. While I truly love my 1987 M998, I would never (nor would I think others on here) classify it as a really reliable vehicle. While I think they would "cut it" for you use, I can't see one being "easy to maintain". I think you would...

    No shortage of rolling stock

    I can't see them ever selling the armored up units. They don't even like selling almost 30 year units with hard doors, tops, or a radio.

    HMMWV roadworthiness?

    If you trust the seller and what you are buying, my vote is have it shipped.Plane ticket, plus 15+ hours of driving in a HMMWV, with the added risk of a break down? No thanks. What happens to you on mile 400 if you break down? You call for a tow to the next town...can they work on HMMWVs? If...
