    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    I was considering that. I also considered using a STE/ICE connector to splice them...and ease re-installation. The plan Im gonna go with first is to get some uninsulated thin butt connectors to hold alignment while I tease on the perfect amount of solder and a neat fill/sheath shrink tube...

    New to me m998 what year is it

    I think a genuine 96 would be a 6.5L and a 4 speed park auto trans. They go for a lot more money with the good drive train. If you paid 4 speed price for a three speed. That's kinda shady. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    New M998 Fuel Tank Install

    I am gathering parts to replace my tank with an A2 tank and add a skid plate. It looks like the skid doesn't fit to the tanks contour in the strap area? I'm curious to see a pic of the tank/skid assembly installed.

    Springs

    I believe all the M998 "A0" trucks had the softest springs (7700 GVW) unless you had a shelter carrier or prime mover that upped the spring rates? As they moved forward, to the 10K and then 12K GVWs the springs just got heavier. Same with the shocks I believe. Lowering your tire pressure will...

    Bumper Number/ chalk markings decode challenge

    LOL...yeah. Mainly wondering if It "Don't Run" and we don't know why, or its a warning..."don't run" cause you will damage it further?

    Bumper Number/ chalk markings decode challenge

    Working on a friends M1078A0 and wondering what unit this was with. They wouldnt show in a pic, so I macpainted them in but they were legible with close inspection. Also most curious about the "DON'T RUN" and "FIRC" as we are trying to get it running and driving.

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    Im gonna remove the wires and clean the terminals an jump straight to ground and 24v. Ive fashioned a couple HD jumper wires that I was lacking the first try. Ive studied the Heater removal chore and plan to move that to get at removing the main wire bundle.

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    Got a chance yesterday to get the motor fired up. Tried jumping the fuel solenoid but it didn't start. Shot some ether into the filter housing and it fired right up. So, we know the engine at least starts. Now I need to figure out how to get the main harness out from behind the heater assy. so I...

    Installation of Passenger Side Floor Insulation

    To do it right, the heater box has to come out. Lazy me just cut the pad as far up as I could reach. There is a hold down strip in front of the battery box that has four screws and that should be it.

    My new M998

    There are metal side armor plates and angled grille slats that keep bullets and shrapnel from hitting the radiator. sometimes you can clean off the paint sprayed over the numbers stenciled on the fender corners...they will tell you what unit it was with to search for some history on it. the...
