    Gasket makers

    For differentials and other applications with gear oil, Permatex makes a specific rtv, Others will work that are universal but worth getting this one. YMMV https://www.permatex.com/products/gasketing/speciality-gasket-makers/permatex-gear-oil-rtv-gasket-maker-3-oz/

    HMMWV problems

    Probably neither. Possibly the problem is in the glow plugs or the electronics in that system. Many threads on here on the control boxes and manually bypass. I would start with downloading and reading the tm"s ( technical manuals) here on SS. There are trouble shooting flow charts specifically...

    Batteries Blew Up & Caused A Fire

    If you can negotiate to keep the truck, the process is not difficult in La. I bought back my "wrecked" tahoe for a sum subtracted from the settlement. The title and registration is cancelled and marked salvage. You make repairs to make it road worthy, bring to LSP for inspection. Basically...

    M998 Alternator Help

    typically the cases are stamped with letters/symbols for the wiring. The smooth post is usually a tach. Prestolite tech support might be willing to help?

    M998 Alternator Help

    That looks like a prestolite /leece- neville alt. It could be off civilian 24v construction equipment. Is there any other tag or numbers?

    fyi. there is an extension they made for the lunette so it would not rub the corners at extreme angels on some of the prime movers. Search on here for more info as not my threads but I recall seeing the info.

    M989 vs M989a1

    No Sir, I don't have one but I have been tempted over the years as a few have sold around me for less than scrap but according to my boss, my motor pool is at capacity :) All the best with that beast and let us know what you do with it. Strange as I don't recall seeing the do not tow off...

    Batteries Blew Up & Caused A Fire

    Pure Speculation on my part. A malfunctioned charger that overcharged the batteries to the point of boiling out all the fluid, then boom. Saw this on the old school manual chargers ( non smart) that could cook a battery if forgotten and constant "on" in my previous lifetime with parts and...
