Thanks for the info. That's what I was afraid of. I don't think I can get to the inside of the tunnel without major disassembly--the frame runs right by there and there's about 1/4 inch of space between the frame and tunnel. It might have been possible to get the end of a wrench in there...

Like a bad penny, I'm back with another question. I got the rear seat belts installed this evening, but ran into a little problem that I can't seem to solve... On the passenger side, where the seat belt latch mounts to the tunnel, I can't get the bolt to tighten. It's just spinning. Looking...

That's what I was thinking! It was Saturday morning, and I was in shorts, t-shirt, and tennis shoes. I wasn't looking forward to stepping into twelve-inch deep mud. And she had on white pants and sandals, so it would definitely have been an adventure. Plus, who can I call on Saturday morning...

Again, thanks for all the help. I meant to post these last week, but got distracted by fan belts, lights, etc. My 75-year-old parents were visiting yesterday, and of course had to have a ride. My dad, a former RTO, talked fondly of his days driving a MUTT. When it was my mom's turn, we...

Thanks to all the good info and helpful folks here at SS, I got my M998 back on the road this afternoon. Drove over to the college I'm attending (McPherson College's Automotive Restoration program, working on my 3rd degree) to use a die to clean up the rear bumper clevis bolts. Took my...

Thanks, I found it eventually. I vaguely remember the TM's from when I was in the service (I spent some time as a unit armorer when stationed in Italy) but I'd forgotten how annoying it can be to look for "Steering, power. Bleeding process. 4.3.56.2 sub-paragraph B" Thank goodness for...

Hmmm... just stuck REALLY hard. Now that I've got the belts on and tight, I'm wondering how I'm going to get that fitting back into the fan. Also, since I lost about 1 tablespoon of power steering fluid out of the fan hose, do I need to do anything to get the air out?

I'll just stick this on here, instead of starting a new thread... I followed the directions in the TM and am now at the point where the power steering pump bolts are loose. However, I can't move it at all. I put a breaker bar in the 1/2 square hole and got zero movement, even though I've...

With the current focus on low-intensity conflicts, lighter vehicles with higher MTBF are definitely the in thing. Back in the 80s when we expected the Ruskies to rush the Fulda Gap, it was all about tanks and infantry. Most of my pre-Gulf experience involved a lot of hiking. When we did the...

I'm not overly fond of police officers. Like any profession, there are good and bad cops, but when you run into a bad plumber they don't rough you up, deprive you of your constitutional rights, and act like you deserved it. If you hire a bad electrician, you don't have to post bail before they...

Yes, four belts total, two of two different lengths. Thanks for the help, that's clear enough to get started. I'm hoping to tackle this tonight.

My NA 6.5 broke down on the way home, and I have now new belts in hand. However, the nifty diagram I saved off the Internet seems to have disappeared, and the TM drawing I have isn't as clear as I'd like. A search using Google and/or the forum didn't return what I was hoping for. Somewhere...

Next question (prepare for 100s more): anyone got a good method for removing the remains of a broken instrument panel light cover from the housing? One of mine was broken off and then apparently glued back in (there's glue on the bulb, even) and I now need to get the remains of the threaded...

Well, luckily she never reads SS, so I should be OK :-)

lol

Yep, that's the one. He also had a really nice bobbed deuce, a humvee in rather rougher shape, and an LMTV. He was pretty cool--he threw in a spare, helped me check it over and adjust things, etc. He also has a lot of other stuff--a complete AC set, a winch, etc. But I'm already on thin ice, so...

LMAO. :-) I haven't heard that one before, but it's definitely true.

OK, now I've got real problems. :-) Not only do I have this giant green thing in my driveway, I'm figuring out all the nifty stuff I need to buy to bring it back to a "more-like-it-was-issued" state. Ordered a fire hydrant for the bracket next to the driver's seat. Buying some steel to make my...

Yeah, I didn't say it--but it was really fun. Even on road, it's pretty cool to drive. Of course, I'm waiting for some off-road fun to bring back those days of squeezing down narrow paths in Grafenwoehr and chasing camels off the improvised firing range. I got passed by (I almost said "I...

Well, I'll bore you with all the details below, but I made it MOST of the way home from Tennessee to Kansas in my new-to-me M998. I spent last week looking to beg, borrow, or rent a truck and trailer. It's a personal thing, but I wasn't willing to lie to UHaul. Partly because I figure if the...
