    Negative bolt on starter snapped

    I believe it’s a low pressure mechanical pump. I used something similar to the Carter 73105 that I picked up at my local parts store. It feeds fuel to the injector pump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Negative bolt on starter snapped

    This shows that bar or spindle inside the starter. Every time you crank the engine, this will come out about an inch and engage the flywheel. That spindle might not be able to handle the load. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Negative bolt on starter snapped

    Definitely change the glow plugs regardless, Test the OHMS with a multimeter (should read between 1.5-2.5 on each glowplug). Now, as for the starter, could be the gears inside the starter itself. Basically when you crank the engine (this could be seen via the flywheel inspection cover), the...

    M998 stalling at highway speeds

    Ok, I’ve figured it out! I swapped out the mechanical pump that feeds fuel to the injector pump. The one I bought was a Carter M73105. I also some air in my lines along with blocked injectors, so I cleaned those out as well and made sure I had fuel running through. I did a few small things, such...

    helmet top for m998

    Do you have an actual military helmet top or something aftermarket? I’m not familiar with the helmet top but I have made/installed quite a few roofs recently. Either welded the aluminum or just used self tapping screws. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M998 stalling at highway speeds

    M998 stalling at highway speeds

    I’ve had one of my m999 HMMWV’s running great, but the other night it stalled as I was driving on the highway. If I keep it below 30mph on the street, it is fine. If I take it up to 60mph, it will eventually shutoff and roll to a halt, power steering eventually goes as well. I’ll wait a few min...
