    AM General parts website

    If you cant beat 'em, join 'em. I think someone there saw the light. Stop fighting the sales of the trucks to the public. Embrace it.... And give china a little made in USA competition.

    AM General parts website

    HOLY COW! Treasure trove! Assuming they are peddling the real deal ...to ice out the market to the rising knockoff trade. I saw lots of stuff I had a hard time finding elsewhere. And some decent pricing. I'll definitely be placing an order.

    Newbie Curious What I Missed

    Nice rig. It seems to have a shelter mount kit for that compressed air foam system. You may need shorter tailgate latches to replace the spaced out versions that are part of the shelter mount kit.

    LED Headlight Recommendation(s)

    Ive run these three lights in the M998. I had good luck with the Trucklites but they looked to modern for my M998A0. I ended up going with the Hella E-Code H4. They use a replaceable H4 bulb that you can get in LED or Incandescent. The E-code lens puts all the light on the road with a nice...

    Brake Lights

    A2 fuel tank question

    I replace my original A0 tank with an A2. It fit just fine. My three speed truck still had the original NP218 Transfer case, but that shouldnt be an issue as the A2s usually have the 242 anyhow. FYI you dont reuse the 2 metal baffles out of the A0 tank. That plastic basket in the bottom of the...

    Brush Guard Bracket

    I think that's known as an "A2" style brush guard. You may need to have that winch plate style bumper to fit it on. Sorry, its the only pic I have of those mounts.

    What's stuck in my Brake Rotor

    Ive seen differing spring steel clips and pins inserted in rotor slots like that. I have heard that certain styles are to balance out some annoying vibration in that rotational mass. Ive heard that other styles are to attenuate squealing/harmonic vibrations
