Bullet ends, 10mm hex heads on them... (10mm is slightly larger then the 3/8" of what I believe are the normal glow plugs, thus the pulling tool doesn't fit.)

Just needed to vent.. Figured it might be useful to other people having this issue... The smart start box of course stopped powering the glow plugs. It's getting cold, so why would it work. Ordered a new box and 8 new glow plugs. Read on forums here and elsewhere I should get a removal tool...

Starts on page 1159 of the copy I have. The gauge part is snipped below. You'll have to figure out which wires are which since your tags are missing, but you should be able to trace them back to the control harness and other harnesses, it's just time consuming.

I bought a 2-man divider on beat, came with four brackets, luckily my rig still had to the ones that went into the B-pillar still there (they had apparently been "painted into" the B-pillar so when someone converted it to a 4-man they were left in place not realizing they weren't actually...

I ended up using the combination of mag wheel polish and the plastic cleaner/polish after. It worked wonders to both the gauges and external lights. While I can't say they "look like new", I can say that they're no longer foggy. The rag when I was done with just the gauges had this nasty...

yes, ground and power were intermittent before. They are now solid, and I get a solid 24+V across them. Checking the motor, I don't get any connection when I push the knob to the washer (but checking the wiring it's fine). Add to that no resistance measurement across the motor (power to...

I replaced the grommets today. The old ones HAD to be original to 1988. Boy that was difficult to remove the old ones. Anyway, I now have a good strong electrical signal up to the motor. And wouldn't you know it, now the motor doesn't work! ARGH! When I first "fixed" it, it worked. Then...

wow.. I think I'll try it then.. tired of the littlest bit of glare and being unable to read all of the gauges (except oil pressure which brand new)

All of my gauges are very scratched and 'fogged up' (not moisture). I was wondering if anyone had bought plastic headlight polish and tried to sand and polish the gauge faces to make them readable again. (Ya I know I can buy new gauges easily enough, but the ones I have are working fine.)

Well the washer trick worked a whole 4 days. Wipers no longer work again. This weekend I'll replace them with the new ones I bought. If it fails again, it's getting hard wired. (I suspect he existing grommets are original 1988, so they're flexing pretty quickly....)

Ya I was looking at that stuff. Do you have a pointer to the right type of sealing tape? From what I was looking at, it appears there is a seal on the "front" of the windshield frame where it meets the body, and then on the back where it sandwiches down onto the body.

Just got the pair of contact assemblies. Looking at new ones (vs ones on the HMMWV), it's pretty clear they're just metal "buttons" with the wiring 'pin' on them. So if you push the ping out, magically the rubber is pretty much the perfect side for 14 gauge wire. Would be trivial to discard...

My limited trouble shooting on my 1988. Work in this order: Bulbs, grounds, switches, connectors, wiring. On my own vehicle, multiple bulbs were out (and had been replaced with 12V versions). A few of the grounds were lose. Switches were fine. And one of the connectors was broken...

Folding down the windshield at a drive-in movie is pretty fun though, but lack of a radio in the M998 seems problematic for that purpose!

I have driven in my Jeep Wrangler with the windshield down.. unless you've got a facemark on, I don't recommend above about 20 MPH.. bugs do hurt..

I was able to just use some small regular washers. I just covered them in dielectric grease to prevent them from moving and hopefully help them from rusting. There was still plenty of flex in the rubber on the base and windshield frame.. I had not considered using wavy washers to make up the...

I got the springs from Hummerpartsguy : 12338823 / 00-449-3001 SPRING, TURNLOCK (ENGINE COVER) Currently about $6 a piece. They had them in stock, but I did find other sellers with them as well, but stock wasn't clear. For the rivets, I got them from amazon: ISPINNER 100pcs 1/8" x 5/16"...

I finally got the springs replaced for the upper dog house mount. WOW, it made a HUGE difference in the interior noise both at idle as well as driving. You can actually ride inside it without feeling like your ears are going to bleed due to the noise. (Had to drive a few miles without any...

I didn't even think of just adding a washer. I'll have to try that tomorrow. Thanks! (I'm also going to order the proper item, 5999011839530, I found it for $15 a piece at Kascar.)

I finally got around to diagnosing my wiper motor not working. After removing the soft top and side rails, I was able to tilt the windshield forward and found two "contact assembly" ( 5999011839530 ). I cleaned them, added some dielectric grease and got it working. However, when I...
