Hey there just found your videos. I bought a M997a2 and am converting into a camper. Raised the roof and put a bed over the cab. Lots to learn on this motor. So much under there that is a puzzle. Also had a new half shaft fail, tore all six bolts off the rotor and not sure why. Lots of fun for sure
Thanks for the vid. Just picked up a M998 myself, currently in the process of replacing the engine with a used 6.2l, new fuel tank and everything in between. It’s been a party so far.. thanks again 👍
Cool rigs. Just for general knowledge, the tool for straightening the fins on radiators, condensors, and such, can be bought at autozone for $10 -12. Part number is 24526. Comes with different gauge combs and is made with a nylon mix to glide between fins while straightening them.
Absolutely! Can I also request some help? It is most likely pretty straight forward but I am by no means a mechanic. I am fumbling through this one part at a time. If you have time, could you show me how the windshield washer is set up on your humvee? During Demil they cut my lines and I feel like more is missing. Having a hard time finding info on it. Just a request, if you don't have time I understand. Thank you! @@Idaho_Humvee
hey thanks for the vid. what is the black box with the top latches on the right side of the engine above the front right wheel right next to the radiator? never seen that before. ty
I have no idea why I get these Humvee videos. Makes me laugh at all these videos. We all hated the Humvee unless you were a midget. At least when I got the GMV it became semi respectful. I am a old guy, but we still had some old CUCV in the late 90s. I would take one of those all day over. We flew in Tacomas from California because we could purchase Helix locally.
I found an ambulance that is running. It doesn’t have the rear doors, but he has not titled it yet and only has a sf97. If I remember right, it is difficult to take that form and title it because only the original person can do that, right?
I am not 100% on that. Mine came with a title already. Not having rear doors is very common. Finding replacements is difficult and expensive. The ones on mine are custom made replacements and are less than ideal.

Wow. Sounds like something bound up in there. Check your portals and make sure those are all up to spec

Good luck with your project! Let me know how it goes!

Awesome! Thanks!

Great Vid! I am still going through my M1152A1 I picked up recently. Looking forward to getting her road worthy.

Are you talking about the fluid lines to spray or the wipers and electrical lines? My fluid doesn’t work on either of my rigs yet.
@@Idaho_Humvee fluid lines and sprayers. Haven’t tested the pump yet. Wipers are working.
I will see what lines I have installed on my rigs when I get a chance

That would be a mounting spot for the jack

Well I am 5’6” so I guess that helps lol
Which broker did you go through? Love the truck!
No broker for buying it. If you are talking insurance I just called haggerty directly.
@@Idaho_Humvee who did you purchase the M997 ambulance through? I misspoke previously and said broker instead of dealer
Idaho Motorpool in Fruitland
