    M988 alternator issue

    I hope you dont mind me asking a stupid question - but how did the silicone do that much damage (or any at all) I just replaced a faulty 60A generator with a brand new one on my Truck at the weekend and I sealed up the hookup box with LOCTITE SI 5990 which is a high temp silicone sealant. Now...

    Bad 60 Amp Generator

    Thanks PapaKB, I figured that the reading may be from the batteries and I was surprised by the heat, so I reckon you are right about it being shorted out inside. Ive purchased a replacement unit and I am going to follow 155mm guide to take it apart and see if I can fix it up as a spare.

    Bad 60 Amp Generator

    I took possession of a 1986 M998 a couple of weeks ago and I Love it. When it arrived the batteries were dead, and one was leaking so I decided to purchase two new batteries, which I installed fully charged. When my truck is running the Volt Meter is sitting in the middle of the yellow and...

    Hmmwv LED light question????

    Trucklite published a document indicating that the root of the problem is the bulb in the turn signal stalk. A regular bulb allows current to flow in both directions, and when you add LED lights to your truck it can cause current to flow in a reverse direction back into the flasher unit causing...

    M998 Battery Shutoff kill switch- My final setup with pictures

    Looks great, thanks for sharing your pictures. I had to change out my batteries recently, and while I was working on them I wasnt really paying attention to how I was moving the negative cable that goes from the Shunt to the battery, and the cable wasnt clamped. So now the lug on the shunt end...

    Reverse Lights Wiring

    I recently purchased a reverse light kit on ebay - I dont have it just yet so I cant comment on how the install goes. What the guy said in the description is that the Ambulance HMMWV has a reverse light, and that it taps power from the horn circuit. You can view the item and description here...

    Hello From Ireland - M1044 Owner

    Wow M813RC - I would really really appreciate that - Im trying to get as many reference pictures as I can. The primary reason for the repaint is that my truck was originally green, but was then sprayed tan, but the tan is now pealing in a lot of places and I figure the best thing to do is...

    Hello From Ireland - M1044 Owner

    Thanks Tommy, I think I am going to try a USMC look, as authentic as I can - mind you I have a lot of research to do!!!! I would love to put some Irish markings on it but I think I will stay clear of that for now. In Ireland it is illegal to impersonate a member of the defence forces. So I...

    Hello From Ireland - M1044 Owner

    Thanks M1010plowboy, I dont have any history on the truck - but when I saw it for sale the IBIS Tek bumper is what made it for me. I have some close ties to family around Peterborough in Ontario. Its been a few years since I was last there, but I love Canada!

    Hello From Ireland - M1044 Owner

    Hi M813rc, Yeah, Ive had some fun on narrow country roads - mind you the other road users have had even more fun when they meet the Truck!!!! I dont think any of the markings are origional. I bought this truck from a guy in the UK who's hobby is rebuilding HMMWVs, I imagine that the markings...
