If I recall correctly, that is only a 1/4" bolt thread. Not as big as it looks on the head. Bulldogger

Those mats look greatBulldogger

I guess I am fortunate, or just very patient. I simply bought a glover's needle and some outdoor heavy nylon thread at the local fabric store and hand stitched my surplus door's window zippers back in by hand using the original holes. Just go one hole at a time. Once you get in the habit, and...

The Technical Manuals and Parts List are on the site: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?78861-TM-s-for-the-M998-series The parts list takes a little getting used to, as far as reading and searching, at least it did for me, but it's all there. Bulldogger

It seems odd for both the water pump and fan clutch to go out at once. Have you tried pressurizing the fan clutch w 90+PSI air? I think of them as fairly simple, and hard to break. Sorry to hear about the water pump. That is annoying to get off. Common advice here is to bite the bullet and...

Mine reads as you describe, but I suspect it's not as high, also like yours. I've been meaning to get a new sending unit. BDGR

Do the easy thing and disconnect, inspect, clean and reconnect all connections involved first. Start with the battery box, assuming you haven't already touched that area. Most MVs are not "turn-key", they need refurbished nearly everywhere and periodic revisits. It's not Whether or not to...

The grounding harness many of us did, or will, install is a SUPPLEMENTAL harness to the existing factory harness for the most part. While some argue that it should be of a diameter and gauge that can handle the full discharge of two 24V deep cycle batteries, I went much smaller. I found wire...

I second Katavic918's description. Mine will shift as late as 28-30MPH but only if I have the go pedal mashed to the floor. I posted somewhere about it myself after getting my beast running and road-worthy and was told the same thing. In my case giving it an Italian Tune up seemed to help a...

Super 'Duper' Singles, eh?

Off road diesel is pink and oily too. But I'm sure you know what's in your fuel tank. Bulldogger

Napa 81-1411 I can't remember offhand where I got that part number. Probably from the hummer knowledgebase. My Napa jobber was speechless for a moment after I gave him that part number to look up in his system. He finally spoke and said "I've never seen a part in our database without any kind...

Took apart my cadillac valve to try to get my fan working correctly again. Didn't see anything wrong w the valve internals but after bleeding all air from it and driving a few miles my fan is declutched now. Have to drive farther to see that it turns on at high temp. So so far so good. I'll...

Like that new shifter Fllaw. I took apart my cadillac valve to try to get my fan working correctly again. Didn't see anything wrong w the valve but after bleeding all air from it and driving a few miles my fan is declutching now. Have to drive farther to see that it turns on at high temp. So...

Amen brother. How they manage to put a (fun and capable) platform together that uses SAE and metric on the same part/component still confuses me Bulldogger

It does have a fair amount of rust, probably salty roads. It seems to be in decent condition overall. If you don't mind reconditioning the hubs and fighting some rust here and there, it can be a good truck. The rear cover is nice, though plenty of dirt found its way in the front of the...

Thanks for the details gents. Looks like I will keep an eye on it and steel myself to replacing the head gaskets in the Spring (if she makes it that long!). Bulldogger

Action: yes, that happened as a matter of course when I was fiddling w the Cadillac valve as part of all that. Didn't appear to make a difference. Sorry to not mention it. I'll try to blow out the valve. It could have picked up something when the return tubes and primary pressure tube were...

Well, here is what I figured out tonight. My fan temperature switch which is on circuit wiring number 458 is located in the coolant system crossover piping, which is normally closed, is closed when cold. So I think my fan temp switch is ok. I verified that this switch is indeed electrically...

Thanks for the extra information. I will run some electrical checks when I get home. Having a swim meet for my 7yo at the moment! Bulldogger
