    M998 Air Filter part no longer available

    Might be easier to just make one. Idea :unsure: .... locate one of those foam like floor mats that interlock like a puzzle. Or cut out a piece of the boss's yoga mat. Make a template and get busy with a sharp knife. Hide knife when done. Comes in all colors to be pro-noun correct, CAMO

    how to detect a broken CDR-Valve?

    One quart in 1000 miles... I would think that is a LOT going up in smoke, out the tail pipe or on the ground. 10K miles on a new ??? engine is not even broke in, so maybe, but does seem excessive. I not sure one can believe any Humv odometer, unless one had the new engine and installed the...

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    AND to add... The only thing good about the LAU box is when we scrap them getting 37 cents more for the nice aluminium deep drawn box and heat sink. Still junk, CAMO :-(👎 Not the one you want

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    A little help from the nose bleed section..... That box is dinosaur old . Uses a separate glow plug connector in the engine bay. Two on top, yes? All controllers (boxes) provide a ground (logic low) to illuminate the WAIT led , so you're right there. Might be time to move forward 30 years...

    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    Old feeble newbee from a desert rat here, LOL. Throwing this out there... The 60 Amp alternator have an voltage adjustment. Easy to get at and set. 200 amp units do not. WAIT LED is supplied wth 24 volts and is controlled by the not so "smart control box". It provides a logic ground (pulls...

    What's the precise width of the military brushguard?

    Those numbers could be a bit off, do to the temperature coefficient at time of measurement and gravitational pull half way around the globe. Then again...everything is bigger in TEXAS, CAMO
