    M998 6.2 litre smells bad

    Mine has black soot on the end of the tail pipe and smells like someone spilled a cup of diesel fuel on startup or after a run when idiling ...It is so noticable compared to the others, i thought i had a fuel leak. Also if the wind is just right in a turn you get the super rich smell of raw...

    M998 6.2 litre smells bad

    I have a few m998 and one has a similar problem. It is also a little under powered compared to the others. I have read that advancing the timing may solve the problem, but that was not specific to the gm 6.2 engine.

    M998 Rear Roll Bar?

    if you look at the pics in the first page of this post (the bar for sale/sold) you will notice the bar has one tab in the center. The single tab is for the old m1025/1026 style turret support. I am doing a truck that uses the style side piece (no roof mounts) in your diagram, but has a smooth...

    M998 Rear Roll Bar?

    Not sure what numbers correspond to what on the center piece, but there are at least 2 versions of the outer pieces as well. I have no idea about part numbers for them either.

    Glowplug controller question

    Issues with SF-97

    i think once you are approved, the approval should be good for 5 years. Similar to a concealed weapons permit. Sign some papers at pickup, show your approval card, and load. That way you only have to suffer the wait the first time. I would love to buy some more, but dread the wait... This...

    Rear seat belt install

    i would not move it if you have the flimsy c pillar for a soft top. It would not hold up in an accident. The hard top c pillar is a lot stronger.

    Engine cranks but whirs right before kicking over

    Use your smart slave tracker (iphone/android)and post a video of your dash as you try to start. Im curious what the issue is with your starter.

    Engine cranks but whirs right before kicking over

    if your voltage does not rise when the wait light extinguishes i would think you are not getting power to the glow plugs. Which type of Engine control box do you have? Make sure the connections to it are tight.

    Engine cranks but whirs right before kicking over

    you may have other problems...5 sec on the wait light seems short...10 seconds of cranking is a lot with no start. I would check the cold advance ( i have read that you need to cycle the throttle after/while starting to get it to engage on some trucks) also is you volt meter dropping while...

    HMMWV : Changing heater knobs and plate

    The entire cables will need to be removed. If they are not to bad its a good time to lube them or replace them.

    new M998 owner, ignition trouble, wait light never comes on, engine won't start

    When i tested mine i used a generic multimeter. Having a clip on one lead makes it easier. 1.2 omhs if i remember correctly. Some were 1.7 and some as low as .9. The bad ones were dead (no reading) or real high. When you turn the start switch to wait does the battery guage drop or does it...

    new M998 owner, ignition trouble, wait light never comes on, engine won't start

    does your volt meter drop when you turn to wait? Could have a few bad glow plugs and a fried wait light....

    new M998 owner, ignition trouble, wait light never comes on, engine won't start

    this may not solve your problem, but test your glow plugs...take off the boot to each and test the resistance on each plug. One of my m998s would start in the warm weather, but once it got cold it was a no go. 3 of the 8 plugs were bad. Now it starts instantly. (my wait light was functional)...
