Well with me the M998 is definitely one step forward, three steps back. :eek: Lots of frustration. I completed some of my "winter" assignments now that the Florida Inferno has abated 🔥 Replaced all the v-belts as a maintenance item. After a lot of trial and error with different belt sizes, I...

I am a newbie so my knowledge is from the experienced forum members here. I was able to do the swap on my back with a proper hydraulic tranny jack. The sucker is heavy with the transfer case attached so make sure you have something capable of lifting that beast. I found the 4L80E plentiful as...

Isn't this gadget also what holds the bottom of the dog house? I think I am missing one...

Wish there was some procedure that was easy when one has one glow plug totally seized and immovable, and inaccessable, and other that disintegrated the housing and left the threads in the head. aua

I can confirm the NOCO Genius GEN5X2 indeed works to charge both without disconnecting.

I live in the Florida Inferno so my take is that AC is required and since you have the compressor already I would vote get the system running. Around here, you can rent a AC vacuum pump and set of gauges. Some local to me auto parts stores will even loan those out for free. But I bought a good...

I don't think it is a matter of needing extra amperage from the battery, but clean power and no interference from anything else that might be in the circuit. Sorry I did not mean to give you the impression you have to relocate the throttle cable - you do not. Just the TPS sensor for fan clutch...

I recently changed my TSU and I think about a cup of coolant came out with the engine totally cold, so I just added a bit of water to the jug.

I am a newbie but I will attempt to answer. I received a great deal of help from forum member @springer1981 and @Retiredwarhorses when I was moving from a TH400 to a 4L80 and he steered me to the US Shift. To answer your questions: Has anyone used a US Shift Quick 2 in their HMMWV? I...

Newbie here so my experience is limited. I too bought a NOS switch from one of the notable vendors last year and after I disassembled it, I am now sure that it is really a Chineium clone fake as it look a tremendous amount of force to activate the cancel arm thingy and it would break multiple 3D...

I kind of had a similiar experience. Being a newbie, I thought that disconnecting just the negative would totally kill power. Not so much! I had a shocking experience and learned to disconnect both the negative and the 24V terminals. I leave connected the terminals that go across the batteries...

All hail the Great and Mighty @3jacks ! I replaced my PS pump when I replaced my generator as I noticed a few drops of fluid and figured, while I am in there.... But I too got the dreaded squeal of a million fingernails across the cault board and I was pulling the little hair I have out trying...

Bingo! Found the cause of the sound. The 💩 plastic evaporator fans gernaded and shreaded themselves into mess of shrapnel I found possible replacement fans but it might be easier just to rip out the whole Chinesiumcrapulum and replace the unit. At least the Florida Inferno is outta here!

Some progress! Yea! Regarding the "Crank" problem - I started tracing things from the KDS box back. Only 3V on lead A (aka 14b) when the switch is on the crank position! Next stop was the neutral starter safety switch on the shifter and wallah, one of the packard connectors was backed out. So...

Well, now I made a fine mess of things. aua Batteries disconnected. I had previously replaced the wait light itself as it would not light at all. Replaced the temp sensor with the one supplied that is supposed to match the NOS KDS box I got. I replaced 4 out of the 8 glow plugs. I unplugged...

Folks, Thanks for the kind advice. I was doing more learning on this and I don't see how removing the injector will help with a frozen or stuck glow plug at all. I think the glow plug is part of the head. I am looking at this clear picture from a YouTube and it looks to me like the glow plug...

Thanks for the advice. I was reading some removed heads and other injectors so I was not sure. I think I should be able to manage to remove the injectors myself. But right now I am a bit bummed out. I think I should just let the truck sit till I build up some motivation again.

Sorry i was not clear, I have one that is frozen in the rhreads and I cannot turn. And another that swelled and is stuck. Hysterical review of that tool. This is how I felt after two hours inventing new curse words... Edit: In the meanwhile, I successfully managed to snap the hex head off...

Was busy today trying to replace all the glow plugs as a maintenance item. Got busy on the pass side, cylinders 8 & 6 went smooth. Cylinder 4 was seized. The officer I bought the M998 from said he replaced all the glow plugs, but #4 was a different shade and I think he never did #4 as he did...

I am a newbie but I had this problem also. The issue usually is the contacts at the bottom of the windshield get corroded. When you measure the voltages at the leads on the motor the VOM kind of fools you as they are normal but not enough current to drive the motor. In my case I have a helmet...
