I would not go by the year/model. One of my M998s has a 7700 lb axle on one side an 10.3k on the other. In all likelihood you have one or the other of these and not 12k axles. The part numbers for the boots and the whole boot kits are listed in the Parts Manual, TM 9-2320-280-24P-1, as...

The 84-87 Taurus struck me as odd also. I remember 84 as the year Ford fixed the Escort so it wouldn't bend the valves when the timing belt jumped - but no Taurus. Looking up the 86 Taurus on the EMPI website, it uses 86-2108 inner and 86-2107 outer (NAPA parts 6862108 and 6862107). You can...

Reading this thread took me back to the 80s, when it seemed like my hands were always stained with grease from working on CV joints. The availability of inexpensive axle assemblies has been a great thing, and I don't think I've had a CV joint apart in maybe 20 years although I have changed a...

And a couple more:

You could try swapping the tires around and see if it changes. I had one on the front that "got with it" pretty good but after swapping it to the back it is barely noticeable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Jeff, we will plan to be there with a M998, maybe two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And it certainly does appear that many states became displeased recently, almost simultaneously. There have been a couple of references in SS threads to a national organization giving the state DMVs information adverse to registering MVs. One agency that could plausibly do this is the American...

I momentarily allowed MSN on my laptop, and instantly regretted it. But I got the pics! And Prince Harry is taller than most people realize, and Celine Dion's son is an aspiring rapper...good to know.

Any update? I got a little time in the shop tonight and looked around for glowplug threadchasers I made in the past, but could not find any so I made another. Use a thin cutoff wheel to cut off the glowplug wiring connector and the glowplug beyond the threads, taper the end of the threads on a...

Reading the first post again I'm not clear on just what the situation is. With the injector removed, can you still see the tip? Do you have an opening all the way through from the threads into the injector cup, such that you can put a thin wire or nail all the way through but just can't get the...

If you really just want to plug the hole and abandon the glow plug, and you can't get the 10mm threads to clean up, then you might look at going up a size. 7/16 fine thread tap and plug should be readily available, just need an appropriate size tap drill. You can make a thread chaser out of a...

And just to clarify, I'm talking about the $100 starters, not the $400 gear reduction starters that do say they are for a HMMWV.

I need to replace a starter on one of the M998s. It has a GEP 6.5. I searched and read lots of starter threads, but I am not seeing anyone say they actually put the 28MT gear reduction starter on a HMMWV and how it went, any tips or tricks, etc. Sorry if I overlooked it... Looking at E*ay...

Juan, great effort and outcome, and good analysis of the meeting. Your experience is a good illustration that there needs to be an assessment of what is possible in your state, followed by positive engagement with those who can make it happen. In some states such as Idaho and Iowa, it was...

The KY Expo Center is set up to host multiple events at the same time, so the parking is handled by the Center rather than the organization hosting the event. The information on the Expo Center website should be reliable. You can pay at the gate, or purchase in advance online...

The thread's been quiet for a while, so bump for awareness. It was a great event last time it was in Louisville, lots of neat vehicles on display plus lots of parts and stuff. Would it be appropriate to have a parts thread?

What did you get, and from where?

Hi whistlepig, I happen to have one in the backyard. The A dimension is 13-9/16". The curved portions all appear to have the same radius, and are a good match to the rim of a quart-sized paint mixing cup, with 4-3/8" diameter. The guard is made from 2 x 3/8" flat bar. Here are some...

I always take a come-a-long and enough chain and straps to pull it on, just in case... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
