    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finished installing a block heater on the M998 6.2L. Installation was relatively easy after draining the system and removing a freeze plug. The heater can bring the block temperature up nicely after 2-3 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Adding structural support for A-B pillars

    I have an M998 that is now equipped with a Plan B hard top. I'm curious if there are relatively easy ways to add structural reinforcement to the A-B pillars along the roof line similar to the tie-in that exists in a turret support which ties A-B-C structures. Seems like it would be relatively...

    Half shaft leaking

    Looks like the hub input seal. Follow the TM to remove the shaft and replace the seal. If the seal is leaking I recommend you do both seals at the same time it’s a larger job it probably well worth it. E.g. spindle hub seal as well. If you do do the spindle hub seal make sure you get the bearing...

It might be prudent to look at mfg recommendations for the upper belt mounts. http://www.speedhunters.com/2017/12/think-you-know-everything-about-racing-harnesses/...

    Frantz bypass oil filter

    I have a Frantz bypass filter in the garage waiting to be used and have been thinking of adding it to the 998. Curious if anyone is running a bypass filter and if so where you mounted it. Also, where did you plumb the filter return? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm looking for the part number for the small triangular shield in the lower left hand corner of this picture. I have not been able to locate this part in the relevant TM I have. Also, are there any additional heat shields on the crossover pipe for the M998 naturally aspirated applications...

    M998 Starter installation

    Done. [emoji123] Used the floor jack to bring starter up to the frame rail. Rotated starter up into position and hooked stud on to new style front bracket - very helpful [emoji106] Then juggled the rear bolts into position with the shim. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
