    Can't Screw In Passenger Side mirror

    Hey there; So in some trail misadventures I managed to bend the crap out of my passenger side mirror frame. I took the mirror frame off, no problem, and was actually able to bend the frame back into shape -- the mirror part itself was totally fine. That being said, I ordered a spare just in...

    HMMWV "Hidden Trunk" Build

    Hi guys! I wanted to share a project that I did, that I think is pretty cool. I'm not particularly skilled or talented at this kind of thing, so, be forewarned -- I did the best job I, personally, could do with the tools on hand (mostly an off-brand "Dremmel" rotary tool). Most of you could...

    Accessory Activation via Ignition Switch Question

    Hey there; I tried to search for an answer but I'm being overwhelmed by results for keyed ignition which doesn't help me :) This should be an easy one. So I am installing a 24 to 12 volt converter on my HMMWV and this particular converted comes with an "ACC" input; basically, if that ACC...

    Voltage Regulator Dead?

    Hey guys; So I have a 1989 M998 HMMWV with the 200 Amp dual-voltage alternator/generator and the HMMWV airconditioning kit installed from Midwest Military Equipment. My 12 volt output is wired to the "center" post of the batteries, and the AC unit takes its 12 volt source off the alternator's...

    Weird Start Problem - Battery smoke?

    Hey there; I've got a 1989 M998 HMMWV with a strange starting issue that has cropped up recently. When I turn the ignition (I have the keyed ignition upgrade) to the mid position, WAIT light comes on, everything seems okay. I crank it, and it makes sad noise like there's not enough voltage...

    What Used to Be on my Hood?

    Hey guys; My HMMWV (m998) used to be a Corps of Engineers truck in the Michigan national guard. It's got this weird circular mark on the hood and a couple bolt holes, like something used to be there. I am wondering if anyone knows what it might have been. Here's pictures.

    Question about Fuel Delivery to Injection Pump

    Hey there; I've been trying to diagnose some fuel problems with my HMMWV and I have a question that haven't been able to find an answer to. The vendor who rebuilt my Injector Pump asked me to gravity-feed some diesel in from a fuel can straight to the pump to diagnose why their rebuilt IP...

    HOW TO: Tension V Belts on a HMMWV 6.2 Engine

    Hey everyone; So I did the 60 amp to 200 amp alternator swap, and I bought the 'real' kit so it came with really good instructions. I didn't have a lot of problems, other than my alternator didn't come with all the pieces it was "supposed" to come with (for example, the alternator is...

    Safely Jacking a HMMWV

    Hey there; I have searched extensively but the signal to noise on results is really bad. My apologies if this post is duplicated elsewhere :) I want to do the geared hub / portal oil change on my newly acquired M998. I've done all the other fluids and this is the last one. I'd also like to...
