I thought of adding an airlift bumper to the rear of my truck, but in keeping true to its historical Marine roots i'm wondering if this addition would be correct. I see lots of Army and USAF humvees with the bumpers, spare tire holders, etc but not so much on the Marine vehicles. Did the USMC...

An answer to one of my own previous questions- the DWFK maintenance can be found in TM-2320-280-20-3 Unit Level Maint, book 3, Chapter 12-1 to 12-15.

Sorry, it's not my intention to antagonize anyone, especially the SME's here on the forum. I do read every post in detail and follow the info and leads provided with heart, so thank you for all of that. Sometimes those posts and leads end with the answers to my enquiries while others create...

I believe i've figured out the difference between the two DF kits illustrated above. The one from Eastern is the normal, run of the mill kit. The other one is listed in the parts manual (of all places) as 'Supplemental Deep Water Fording Kit'. What i thought were intake components in the pic...

What is the purpose of this thing, and what is it supposed to be hooked to? It's listed as "Cup, Sensor, Deep Water Fording. NSN: 2540-01-192-4502, PN: 12339845" and I believe it's mounted on the frame rail directly below the air filter assy. Mine, of course, has nothing attached to it. Sorry...

Now that I have an idea of where to start looking for some of this stuff in the TM's at least one mystery has been solved. The cylindrical device thats just dangling free is listed as the 'fuel vent line filter' (#13) and shows the proper placement in a bracket behind the air filter housing, as...

I've discovered two different NOS deep ford kits online and I'm wondering why they are different if they're both advertised for use on M998's. One is p/n 5705693, NSN 2590-01-319-5435 from Eastern Surplus (first pic), and the other two pics are 5705703 NSN 2990-01-320-8731 from RP Machine, in...

I'm thinking that clipped hose on the RH frame rail is the second hose that's supposed to go to the DF CDR. My truck appears to have had the DF CDR replaced with a non-DF variant at some point, so in the meantime those two hoses will have to remain as-is. I would like to bring my truck back to...

If your batteries are a bit older you should pull them out and load test them. Like tage said above, the fan is an entirely different issue. A potential can of worms, too because there's several points of failure and you'll have to use process of elimination to weed out the culprit. If any...

So is that a one-way check valve or something- or is it supposed to have another hose on it?

Here's a few pics. First is of the tubing running from the vent/deep ford valve that doesn't seem to have a home. Second is of the CDR which does not appear to be the DF type. Third is of a fitting with a clipped hose which runs down the RH frame rail directly below the plastic shroud. Last is...

Thanks Ted. I've also found a plastic tube connected somewhere in the vicinity below the brake reservoir that's not connected to anything. Any advice as to where this one is supposed to be attached as well?

My truck is ex-USMC thus has the deep ford kit installed. However, while conducting maintenance I have noticed that some of the tubing appears to not be connected and I don't know if bits of the system are missing entirely or even routed correctly. For example, the vent/deep ford lever on the...

This thing...

Out of curiosity what's that square piece with the hole in it attached to the LH rear wheel well?

Another issue now- she won't start. Glow plugs light as they should, turn switch, and nothing but a slightly audible hum coming from the S3 box when the switch is turned to the start position. It's like there's no power going to the starter. The S3 box is only a few months old but I checked the...

I thought it a little odd that Wolfer had their own data plate riveted to the starter, so that in itself would probably indicate it's a Chinese clone. The FWD stud mount on my truck is unfortunately the older style. The hooked type definitely would have made the install much easier and saved me...

This is an ex Marine truck from the original '99 Barstow auction and I believe I'm the fourth owner. I'm not going to lie, this truck was pretty rough when I got it from its previous owner in NC. In the process of bringing it back to normal I've come across some pretty nasty band-aid repairs...

My starter motor bit the biscuit so I ordered one from Woolfer on EBay NSN 2920-01-507-7423. In the process of pulling the old starter out the first thing I noticed was that the one in the truck is considerably smaller than the new one. As it were, the cables seemed a little jerry-rigged and I...
