ENGINE OPERATION & EXTERNAL COMPONENTS

The water-cooled, naturally aspirated, 6.2 liter, V-8, diesel engine provides up to 150 horsepower at3600 rpm to power the vehicle. The engine is identical on all military M998/M998 A1 modelsexcept those equipped with a deep water fording kit , which adds a specially sealed dipstick, dipsticktube, and vented CDR valve.

The engine has a compression ratio of 21.3:1. The cylinder block, main bearings, pistons and wristpins, are heavy-duty design because of the high compression ratio required in the diesel engine toignite the fuel.

PRECOMBUSTION CHAMBER

Precombustion chambers are used to assist in igniting the fuel. Before cold-starting the engine, theglow plugs are activated to preheat the precombustion chambers for faster starting. The majority ofthe ignition (combustion) occurs in the precombustion chambers. A light on the instrument panel willindicate when the engine is ready for starting.

FUEL INJECTION PUMP

The Model DB2 diesel fuel injection pump is described as an opposed plunger, inlet metered,positive displacement, gear driven distributor type pump. Electrical components are 24 volt DC andconsists of:

1. Fuel shutoff solenoid.

2. Housing pressure cold advance solenoid.

The HPCA solenoid advances the injection pump timing approximately 3-5° during engine warm up.The solenoid is activated when engine temperature is below approximately 80-90°F and isdeactivated) when engine temperature exceeds approximately 80-90°F (25-32°C).

Page 14

FUEL INJECTORS

The Bosch fuel Injectors require a 30 mm socket for removal and replacement. The injector nozzlehas a copper washer used to seal the combustion chamber area. Washers must be replaced wheneverinjectors are removed. When installing injector nozzles, apply anti-seize compound on the threadarea to prevent injector nozzles from seizing in cylinder heads. When testing for a suspected faultyinjector, place a cloth around the fuel line fitting to catch leaking diesel fuel. Loosen the fuel linefitting at the injector nozzle, and note any change in engine RPM. RPM's should decrease. If not,replacement of the injector nozzle or further testing of the injector nozzle with a injector nozzle testeris required.

NoteTo clean leak-off ports of built up wax and dirt, turn a drill bit by hand into the port hole and retract.Any wax deposits will be removed in the drill bit grooves.

CautionThe fuel injector nozzles in the 6.2L diesel engine must have the following color rings or poorperformance/severe damage could occur to the engine:

FUEL SYSTEM SCHEMATIC

Ignition of the fuel in a diesel engine occurs because of heat developed in the combustion chamberduring the compression stroke. Thus, Spark plugs or high voltage ignition is not necessary for adiesel engine.

A fuel lift pump is driven by a lobe on the camshaft through a pushrod. Fuel is pulled from the fueltank by this mechanical fuel pump which is located on the right side of the engine and is pumpedbetween 4 and 8 psi. Fuel from the fuel pump travels to the fuel/water separator, which is located onthe body bulkhead above the left/rear of the engine, and on to the fuel injection pump.

From the fuel injection pump, diesel fuel is metered to the eight fuel injectors. The fuel injectorsopen between 1500 to 1960 psi injection pump pressure and allow fuel to be sprayed into theprecombustion chamber of the cylinder.

The fuel tank is vented through a fuel tank one-way vent filter located behind the coolant surge tank.

HOUSING PRESSURE COLD ADVANCE SOLENOID (HPCA)

The housing pressure cold advance solenoid (HPCA) provides additional advance during enginewarm-up. It consists of a solenoid assembly and ball check return connector, located in the injectionpump governor cover. The electrical signal, which controls the operation of the solenoid, is generatedby a sensing unit mounted at the rear of the right hand cylinder head. An inoperative H.P.C.A.solenoid may cause white smoke and excessive noise on cold start until the engine warms up.

With engine temperature below 80-90°F (26.7-32.2°C), start and idle engine. Disconnect the HPCAsolenoid connector. If system is operating properly, a decrease in engine noise and a drop in enginespeed (approximately 100 RPM) will be noticed. If this does not occur, the system should bediagnosed.

The cold advance switch is located at the rear of theright hand cylinder head, adjacent to injector #8.When engine coolant temperature is below 80-90°F(26.7-32.2°C), the switch is closed, allowing anelectrical signal to be sent to the cold advancesolenoid which advances the pump timing. Theswitch opens when the coolant temperature reachesapproximately 120°F (48.9°C).

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM

The air filter canister and intake stack are located on the right side of the vehicle, forward of thewindshield.

NOTE

To test system, remove air line (1) from restriction gageat air cleaner housing. Create a vacuum on the rubbertubing and observe gage. The float should move to thered position.

The air restriction gage provides a quick and accurate method for determining the extent ofrestriction in the vehicles air filter. It is located on the left side of the instrument panel. Before thefloat reaches the red portion of the gage, the filter should be serviced. The gage has a reset button thatreturns the float to its normal position.

AIR CLEANER SERVICING

The air filter assembly may be cleaned by two methods: (1) Washing the element using a milddetergent and allowing the element to dry. (2) Using compressed air to blow debris out of theelement.

A dust unloader (3), located at the bottom of the air cleaner housing, is also included when servicingthe air cleaner. Accumulations of trapped dust and/or debris may be purged by simply compressingthe rubber boot.

AIR INTAKE MANIFOLD

The intake manifold is a spider air plenum type which allows it to be completely separated from thecoolant system. This permits removing the intake manifold without disturbing the coolant system.The manifold is free standing and does not see any oil splash or heat from the crankcase. There areno coolant passages in the manifold. The tube for connecting the (CDR), Crankcase DepressionRegulator valve is on the right bank and must be installed on the right side.

Air Intake Manifold.

CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM

The 6.2L crankcase ventilation system (A) is designed to reduce engine oil leaks by reducingcrankcase pressure at idle. The system consists of a crankcase depression regulator (CDR) valve,located on the right valve cover.

The CDR valve (B) is used to regulate (meter) the flow of crankcase gases back into the engine. Thevalve is designed to limit vacuum in the crankcase as the gases are drawn from the left valve cover,through the valve, and into the intake manifold (air crossover).

NOTEThe CDR valve can be tested by connecting a manometer to the engine dipstick tube and the otherend vented to atmosphere.

ENGINE NORMAL OIL FLOW SCHEMATIC

The lubricating system of this engine is a pressure feed type which means that a pump forces oilthrough the galleries to the necessary parts. The pump is mounted on the bottom side of the rear mainbearing cap. Oil is picked up by the oil pickup tube and pumped through the oil pump. The oil pumpis driven by the engine camshaft by means of an intermediate shaft.

The oil is then pumped through an oil cooler which cools the oil and helps remove engine heat. Fromthe cooler the oil passes through a filter. This filter is a cartridge type and all oil going to the engineshould pass through this filter. The filter is called a full flow filter, because all engine oil normallyflows through it.

Normal average engine oil pressure at stable conditions is 40-50 PSI @ 2000 RPM. The engine oilfilter bypass valve opens at 16-19 PSI above normal high (50 PSI), when increased pump pressuretries to pump oil through a clogged filter. When the bypass valve opens, the oil bypasses the filterand the engine continues to receive lubrication.

The engine oil cooler also has a bypass valve. It works the same as the oil filter bypass valve andopens to allow an alternate route for the oil if the cooler should become clogged. The oil coolerbypass valve opens at 9-11 PSI above normal high (50 PSI).

GLOW PLUG OPERATION

When engine temperature is below 120°F (48°C) and the rotary switch is positioned to “RUN”, the“Wait-T0-Start” light illuminates for up to fifteen seconds, depending on engine temperature. Whenthe light goes out, the engine can then be started. After the engine is started, the glow plugs willcontinue to cycle to compensate for cold air entering the engine cylinder. When the cylinders canmaintain a temperature of 120°F (48°C) the glow plugs will stop cycling.

Glow plug system is cycling normal when there is an on pulse for approximately 5 second and an offpulse for approximately 15 seconds.

The glow plugs are 12 volt and must have between 1.5 and 2.5 ohms resistance when tested with anohm meter. Once energized, 24 volts DC, forces current through the glowplug to cause it to glow orbecome red hot (1550-1650°F).

To detect glow plug system cycling, watch the voltmeter. The gage needle will move to the left whenglow plugs are on, then return to normal position when glow plugs are off. A relay click should beheard from the protective control box as the system switches on and off. A multimeter may be usedon any glow plug wire to visually watch operation of the glow plug system.

If engine temperature is above 120°F (48°C), glow plugs are not required for engine starting.Each glow plug draws approximately 11.25 amperes. To test system connect AMP meter acrossbatteries. With glow plugs cycling, there should be approximately 90 ampere draw. A defective glowplug will reduce ampere draw approximately 11.25 amperes. (Example) With one defective glowplug, reading will be approximately 78.75 amperes. With two defective glow plugs, reading will beapproximately 67.5 amperes etc.

TRANSMISSION THM 400/3L80

The GM 3L80 automatic transmission provides three forward speeds and reverse. It includes a three-element hydraulic torque converter and a compound planetary gear set. Three multiple-disc clutches,one sprag, one roller clutch, and two bands provide the friction elements required to obtain thedesired function of the compound planetary gear set. Three external adjustments are also provided:kick-down/detent switch, linkage trunion, and the mechanically-operated modulator valve.

The torque converter smoothly couples the engine to the planetary gears through oil, andhydraulically provides additional torque multiplication when required.

The modulator is located on the right hand side of the transmission. A mechanically-operatedmodulator is required since the diesel engine produces very little vacuum. The top end of the cableconnects to the modulator link, which is connected to the throttle shaft on the fuel injection pump. Atthe transmission end, the cable connects to the modulator and modulator plunger through a ball andramp design. The plunger works against the modulator valve to provide the transmission with theproper engine load shift signals.

At speeds below approximately 45 mph (72.4 Kph), a detent downshift can be obtained by fullydepressing the accelerator. When fully depressed, the detent valve train replaces the modulator as acontroller of shift points. A kick-down switch, mounted at the right hand side of the fuel injectionpump, energizes the detent solenoid, thereby downshifting the transmission.

MODULATOR

The modulator indicates engine load to the transmission through the modulator linkage connected tothe fuel injection pump. It increases line pressure with increasing engine load for proper shifting ofthe transmission.

If the modulator is not correctly adjusted or not working properly it can create a pressure differentialwithin the transmission and cause delayed shifting.

If the modulator linkage is improperly adjusted it can create high pressure readings when pressuretesting the transmission.

The modulator cable should be checked and adjusted if the transmission has early/late shifts, or if thevehicle lacks normal acceleration. Adjust modulator cable to obtain a maximum travel of 1-1/2"(3.18mm) of cable core movement between idle and wide open throttle positions.

TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM

Transmission/Transfer Case Cooling System: The transmission fluid is cooled by the top half ofthe split oil cooler. Fluid flows from the transmission outlet to the top half of the oil cooler, then tothe transfer case, where it returns to the transmission. The transmission fluid that passes through thetransfer case does not mix with the transfer case fluid, but flows through a separate oil (secondary)cooler located within the transfer case.

Located in the front housing of the transfer case is a finned aluminum oil cooler. Oil, lower intemperature flows from the transmission oil cooler through the finned aluminum transfer case oilcooler, then back through the transmission where the cycle is continually repeated. The finnedaluminum cooler provides a method for heat transfer from the much warmer transfer case oil to thecirculating transmission oil.

M998/M998A1 TRANSFER CASENEW VENTURE GEAR, MODELS 218 AND 242The transfer case on the HMMWV is a New Venture, full time four wheel drive. The M998 uses themodel 218 transfer case with a 2.61:1 gear ratio. The M998A1 uses the model 242 transfer case witha 2.71:1 gear ratio. An oil cooler is located inside the transfer case. This oil cooler assists in coolingthe transfer case lubricant when the transfer case oil is hotter than the transmission oil. When thetransmission fluid is hotter than the transfer case lubricant, the oil cooler will then assist in coolingthe transmission fluid.

The transfer case has three manually selected drive ranges that provide constant 4-wheel drive and aneutral.

DIFFERENTIAL OPERATION

The differential is a gear system that divides torque between the axle half shafts and allows them torotate at different speeds when cornering. The differential is a (torque biasing), (torque sensing)differential. It resists spinout by transferring more torque to the drive wheel that has the mostresistance to spinout.

The differentials are enclosed in the axle housing assembly and mounted up between the frame railsto minimize drive line vibration, external damage, and to increase ground clearance.

The front and rear differentials are interchangeable and have a gear ratio of:M998 2.56:1M998A1 2.73:1

Differential Components.

GEARED HUBS

The geared hub is a gearbox located at the wheel ends, and is the final drive component. The geared hubpermits attainment of up to 16 inches (40.6 cm) of ground clearance to prevent damage to front or rearaxles. This ground clearance, together with the same high clearance of the chassis, maximizes crosscountry mobility.

Geared hub assemblies also serve as the front and rear wheel spindles. Each of the assemblies areinterchangeable at any wheel as long as the steering arm and cover are not on the hub. Two steering armcovers are required: one used on the left front and right rear geared hub, and another used on the right frontand left rear geared hub.

Each geared hub includes a drive gear and a driven gear, and are lubricated with standard 80/90 gear oil. Agear reduction of 1.92:1 decreases the force necessary to turn or stop the wheel. Using a geared hub allowsfor smaller differentials, brake assemblies, and halfshafts, which result in a lighter drive train.

Adjustable steering stops are located on the front geared hubs to limit the turning radius of the vehicle.

The geared hub is joined to the control arms by the ball joints bolted to the outer end of each arm. Tie rodsconnect the geared hub and wheel to the steering on the front suspension and radius rods at the rear.

CTIS (CENTRAL TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM)

HMMWVs equipped with CTIS allow inflation or deflation of all wheel/tire assemblies while thevehicle is being driven. Air flows from a compressor through an air line and drilled air passagethrough the geared hub spindle. From the spindle, air flows through a quick disconnect fitting to thetire. An air seal in the geared hub control arm cover seals the spindle extension and prevents air fromentering the internal parts of the geared hub. This seal is stationary, while the spindle and extensionrotate as the vehicle moves. As air pressure is built up in the CTI System, air travels through thespindle out to the quick disconnect valve and air line to the wheel and tire assembly. The air seal alsoprevents geared hub lubricant from entering the CTI system.

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND HYDRO-BOOST SYSTEMThe service brake systme is identical for all HMMWV models. It is an inboard-mounted, four-wheel,disc brake, hydraulically-assisted systme. Major components of the service braking system are:

A. HYDRO-BOOST—Converts hydraulicpower from the steering pump to mechanical power tohte master cylinder, providing power assist during braking.

B. MASTER CYLINDER/RESERVOIR —Srores brake fluid, and converts mechnaical peddalpressure to hydraulic pressure.

C. PROPORTIONING VALVE —The proportioning valve section provides balanced front- torear braking action. The pressure differential vavle activates the brake warning lamp in case ofta brake systme failure, or brake fluid loss in either the front or rear hydraulic systmes.

D. ACCUMULATOR —Stores hydraulic pressure for additional power-asssited braking in theevent of a loss of pressure in the steering systme.

E. BRAKE-PEDAL —Provides operator control for stipping the vehicle.

F. BRAKE LINKAGE —Directs brake pedal pressure to the hydro-boost.

G. BRAKE WARNING SWITCH — This switch activates the brake light on the dash in case of abrake systme failure or brake fluid loss in either the fron or rear bydraulic systmes.

STOP LIGHT BRAKE SWITCH

The stop light switch is located above the brake pedal. To ensure correct adjustment of the stop lightswitch, the engine should be running, hand brake applied and wheels chocked. With the enginerunning, sufficient hydro-boost pressure is applied to the master cylinder, requiring less brake pedalapplication, and providing a more precise actuation of the brake light circuit.

BRAKE PRESSURE WARNING SWITCH OPERATION

A brake pressure warning switch, mounted next to the master cylinder, is activated if either front orrear hydraulic systems fail. Under normal conditions, pressure is equal on both sides of the switchvalve. This will cause the switch valve to stay in a "centered" position. In this position, the groundcontact of the sending switch cannot touch ground. When the brakes are applied and a hydraulicpressure unbalance occurs, the side that has good pressure will push the switch valve over toward theside with the pressure loss. When this happens, the switch pin is forced up into the sending switch bythe ramp on the valve. This causes an electrical circuit to be made to ground, and the brake warninglight is turned ON. The light will stay ON as long as the unbalanced condition remains. When repairsare made, the valve is returned to its normal position by bleeding the brake system.

BRAKE FLUID

Dot 5 silicone brake fluid is used within the Hydraulic brake system. It can be distinguished fromconventional brake fluid by its color. Dot 3 and Dot 4 brake fluids are clear to amber in color, whileDot 5 contains a purple dye.

Silicone's most notable attribute is that it doesn't attract or absorb water. In fact, it repels water. Sinceit doesn't absorb water, moisture can't spread throughout the brake system to corrode metalcomponents. The properties virtually eliminates internal corrosion and fluid boil.

Silicone is chemically inert, non-toxic and will not damage paint like conventional brake fluid. It hasa higher boiling point than poly-glycol based fluids.

Adding Dot 3 or Dot 4 polyglycol brake fluid to Dot 5 silicone brake fluid is not recommended. Thetwo different fluids will remain separated like vinegar and oil.

WHEEL AND TIRE COMPONENTS

The outer rim half is designed with two bolt patterns and accommodates a valve bore with an o-ring,locknut, and an insert for tire inflation. The locknuts which hold the two rim halves together arelocated around the outside periphery of the rim. The inner group of lugnuts fasten the wheel to thegeared hub spindle.

The wheel assembly, which includes a runflat device, allows the vehicle to be driven underemergency conditions with one or more flat tires. This does away with the immediate need for aspare tire and increases the vehicle mobility with flat tires.

In the event of a puncture or pressure loss in one of the tires, the operator can rely on the runflatdevices within each tire. The runflat insert enables the vehicle to travel 30 miles (48 Km) at 30 mph(48 Kph) with no air pressure in the tire. In the event that only the two rear tires are flat, Themaximum speed of the vehicle is 20 mph (32 Km). This reduced speed is necessary for vehiclecontrol. Two flat tires in the rear may cause the vehicle to sway from side to side at speeds above 20mph (32 Kph).

PROPELLER SHAFTS

The HMMWV uses two tubular propeller shafts to transmit torque from the transfer case to the frontand rear axle assemblies. Universal joints, located at either end of the front and rear propellershafts, permit in-line driving power between the transfer case and differentials even though they aremounted at different angles.

Front and Rear Propeller Shafts.

Page 75

HALFSHAFTS

The HMMWV utilizes 3 different length axle drive shafts (halfshafts) to accommodate the independentsuspension system. The left front and right front halfshafts are unequal in length due to the off centeredpositioning of the front differential. The rear halfshafts are equal in length, but not the same length aseither of the front halfshafts.• Short shaft Left front.• Intermediate shaft Both rear.• Long shaft Right front

The purpose of the halfshafts is to transfer torque to the wheels from the differential through thegeared hub. Each unit is basically a one-piece assembly with boots on both the inboard (differential)and outboard (geared hub) ends.

The outer boot encloses a constant velocity joint which transmits torque through various steeringangles to the geared hub. The outer (splined) constant velocity joint end of the shaft assembly is heldin place by the axle shaft retaining bolt located opposite the pipe plug in the geared hub. The innerhousing is bolted to the differential output flange.

NOTE

Removal of either the front or rear halfshaft requires that the respective tire be removedfor accessing the access plug and retaining capscrew.
