    Some Fuel Filter Questions and comments about my terrible week.

    That’s impossible, the vent on an m998 before the mods were done would contaminate the closest geared hub and maybe the front diff. After the mods to the vent system, the excess fuel is sent back to the fuel tank filler neck in an isolated vent line dedicated the fuel pump vent.

    Blue Body spacers degrading and crumbling

    This is a known issue and the newer production mounts have supposedly fixed the premature failures. The body mounts on you’re truck are probably 15yrs or older.

    Trans light always on

    you’re TCM isn’t seeing the crank position sensor….meaning the TCM doesn’t see the engine running.

    Some Fuel Filter Questions and comments about my terrible week.

    Start by opening up the filter housing…bring fresh diesel and a 5 gal bucket, you need to validate you’re assumption and go from there. worst case, buy a quick inline filter and bypass the OEM canister, this way you have some level of filtration. Also very well is the inside of the injection...

    AM general sold excess overrun stock from previous contracts, the side of the business that sold parts was essentially separate from the Production side. MAC motors was never in business to sell parts to civilians, it was to sell parts to the militar as odd as that sounds to a lot of people...

    It's alive!!!

    Right, but that’s only where it plugs into the actual TPS, the other plug is at the back of the motor where it connects the engine harness to the body harness and ultimately lands at the TCM plug.

    It's alive!!!

    These 3 pins run end to end to the TCM plug, verify these 3 wires are where they should be via a DVOM. I had a truck“ECV” that had the TPS plug at the fuel filter that only after careful observation I had noticed the wires were professionally spliced back to the round plug, this was the only...

    Will cheap Harbor Freight tire balancer fit center hub of 2-piece rims.

    I’ve somehow managed to run a hmmwv restoration business for the last 15yrs and assembled hundreds of tires and never needed to balance a single one…if a customer wanted them balanced they went to a local shop that was $15ea.
