Just saw this yesterday.. Eastwood makes a inner frame rust sealer in a spray can.. Just search, Rust Encapuslator and you’ll see plenty of options.. just be careful of application... some must be used on complete rust only, otherwise they will never harden..

Bummer MattNC, was just in Raleigh for daughters college soccer showcase.. Woulda loved to see you Hmmwv..I need to research more people before I head out of town next time ..Maybe we need a sticky or something that has members by state that wouldn’t mind fellow members stopping in for a peak...

I have read a post previously that a "guy" there has done some shifter conversions and may be a good source for trannies in the M998.. If i can find the previous post i will forward it to you. They even mentioned his name.. sorry i cant think of it off the top of my head.. If its same outfit...

Havent looked into it, but is dyed fuel any different from regular diesel? Is the only difference the red dye and fact that its not taxed on the front end the same... Just wondering, guess ill look into it.........well tool me 2 seconds.. Looks like non road diesel was made by the EPA in 2014...

Ahab, you say “plain Virginia 201st”, cuz that is curious to me because the “W” on the stenciled markings is almost hand written. The rest of the numbers and letters are clearly sprayed through a stencil.. FWIW..

Check out the link I posted above if your interested. It does appear to be West Virginia 201st Field Artillery Regiment..It’s a cool read on Wiki.. They were deployed to Gulf and on the 256th Anniversary of there founding, they fired 256 rounds into enemy positions.. I bet that was a barrage...

Well, did a little wet sanding tonight to uncover some secrets... Anyone fell free to throw out some guesses on what this is....

I've been researching this also. Additives like ATF fluid to help seals and clean pump. I've seen these all mentioned : WVO, ATF, Mystery Oil, 2 Stroke Oil. Seems like something I need to research but I think some benefits are there for some type of additive to ULSD...

Tobash, love Mouser.. They have sourced absolutely everything I can possibly need electronic wise. If your interested I could send you an extra catalog I might have laying around.. Seems once you order from them they keep sending out there 1000 page parts bible.. Heck, they might send you...

Thanks Coug, again Im just thowing some things out Ive been pondering in my head. Im planning on tearing a bunch down and refurbishing, just dont wanna miss any improvements i can make along the way while its in pieces... Millions of pieces :cookoo:

Anyone install an electric fuel lift pump (pre filter) , any reason to, and why or why not?? Just trying to get ahead of things before i start tearing down the 6.5 N/A in the M998.. And on topic of fuel, read somewhere about fuel additives such as 2 stroke oil.. again, anyone doing this...

Well, unless all the researchers are wrong, then Id say its 2010. My date code is (12 05 M), and that dates pressumably to Dec, 5th, 2005. And guessing since my m998 was at MMA in 2006 makes it likely it got a 2005 motor tossed in it at the time. Just my 2cents,,

So, another day and spent a few hours on rig.. First thing first, loosen it all up and clean er up. PB Blasted that crap out of it. Gonna make 3-4 passes on everything over next week or so to loosen up all the crud.. And for the inspection: So looks like it was overhauled in 2006...
