i'm slowly researching in to doing what you did with lizard skin. And i'm wondering why you choose that product over other stuff that is out there?

It was a busy day for the Battlewagon.
Back at it tomorrow with LizardSkin Ceramic Coating.

The ground wire does not plug into that blackout light in your pic.. That is a headlight with high and low beam. That is what the two plugs on the back are. That lamp is ground via the mounting stud. You can remove the front cover and find a regular lamp inside with 3 connections on it........
Also you will need female packard fitting to put on the factory existing ground wire that's got a grounding eyelet.

It was not Plug-in-Play, not much work but worth it.
I purchased the packard connectors from Big Mikes https://www.bigmikesmotorpool.com/collections/m35a2-parts/military-wire-connectors-and-terminals

Why LizardSkin? 3 reasons:i'm slowly researching in to doing what you did with lizard skin. And i'm wondering why you choose that product over other stuff that is out there? (cheaper stuff on Amazon or spray on truck bed liners)
do you also prime it before doing lizard skin?
Correct. I have an early M998 with the old style "dish" which caused some slight interference issues. I was able to "crimp" the flange on the driver side with the dish in the vehicle however that didn't work for the passengers side; I had to remove it and take a ball peen hammer to it. Basically I had to make the diameter slightly larger.He got the ones I reviewed... http://gear-report.com/humvee-upgrade-hmmwv-led-headlights
There are a couple of other options listed in the article.
Not concerned at all. There are far more HMMWVs than there are collectors that want one in original condition. Far more consumers that would be interested in a truck that is more user friendly.Food for thought. If you spray any kind of bed liner in your truck and decide to sell it , it will not make it worth more to a collector.
So keep that in mind.
Sorry to hear that. Your PCB may have already been fried.Installed grounding kit. Wait light still blinks tho.
Thanks. I was thinking the same thing. Might replace with the spare but since it runs it might be awhile. No juice to the tdm might be related to a fried pcb too...I guess.Sorry to hear that. Your PCB may have already been fried.
Congratulations !!! Keep the updates coming !Got my first M998 home and immediately started changing all fluids and filters. Oil change...15 minutes tops right?
never in my life have I seen an oil filter this seized to a block or adapter. This is what it looked like after taking an air chisel to the filter collar. Ended up removing the adapter and torching it.
new grounding harness, fluids and filters and she purrs like a kitten.
Hate to say it but it was probably never changed.Congratulations !!! Keep the updates coming !
