    M998 STUCK IN THE MUD, FRONT WHEELS NOT EVEN ROTATING

    Thanks everybody. Looks likes I'm F****d. Had a feeling the swamp I have was freaking Kryptonite.

    M998 STUCK IN THE MUD, FRONT WHEELS NOT EVEN ROTATING

    well, the N is really close to the L, hence the mention of the NL. Looked like the same, but it was in L. Just re-RTFM, and watched the video (again), as mentioned. Looks like I was doing everything correct. But this Bitch is stuck! Good thing these units were invented after "Nam". Lots...

    M998 STUCK IN THE MUD, FRONT WHEELS NOT EVEN ROTATING

    Please forgive me for my inexperience with this monster. NL is the when you pull back the transfer case lever all the way back= it is in low. It does not have a winch, so, no help there. Thought I was doing the brake gas modulation, based on what I read and saw, but evidently would have...

    M998 STUCK IN THE MUD, FRONT WHEELS NOT EVEN ROTATING

    Mud half way up the wheels. Aren't these supposed to be full time 4WD? Rear wheels spin, front ones....no. Truck is in NL, front wheels not moving. BTW, what kind of company do you call to get you unstuck from a mud bog?

    M998/HMMWV REPLACEMENT BATTERIES

    I actually did use the search function first, but too much jibberish. Wanted to start a new thread right to the point.

    M998/HMMWV REPLACEMENT BATTERIES

    Yeah, I am not a big fan of the Walmart's either, but they do work. The truck is an "around towner" so getting stuck isn't really the issue. The Walmart's only last a couple of years. Was looking to se if there were less maintenance ones without breaking the bank. The X2's look interesting.

    M998/HMMWV REPLACEMENT BATTERIES

    Looking for replacement batteries for my M998. It currently has the Walmart Maxx 34 series installed. Trying to avoid the 6TL's I see that Deka has an interesting deep cycle marine battery at 800 CCAs. It is about 1.5 inches taller and 2.25 wider. Or should I just stay with the Walmarts?

    M998 STOPLIGHT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT?

    Thanks again?? I did change out all the incandescents with LED's when I first got the truck. There is a definite clunk when depressing the pedal. The clunk would be the switch being engaged. It is lower than it should be (to the point of locking up the brakes in order to activate the...

    M998 STOPLIGHT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT?

    M998 3L80 TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR

    Ok, so decided to try again. This time mashed the gas pedal before starting. Started it up and went right into reverse. Drove it around. Trans shifted nice, no problem at all. Made it kickdown, multiple times, no problem. Maybe something to do with the kickdown?

    M998 3L80 TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR

    It is a 1993/1994 M998 with a 3L80 trans that will not shift into any gear. It used to sometimes take a minute after start up to shift, now it does not go into any gear at all. Almost felt like it had to build up pressure or vacuum when first started. Fluid is a pretty pink, no leaks...

    M998 LOWER REAR BALL JOINTS LUBE

    Is there supposed to be a grease fitting on the rear lowers? Found the uppers, but not lowers.

    Any specific year engine? I see that they go from 1984-1994?

    1993/94 M998 6.2L VALVE COVER GASKETS

    I don't see anything listed in the TM for the parts on the top end. Is this engine the same as any civvy engines?

    M998 6.2L STARTER SHIMS

    they say the starters are the same for the 6.2/6.5 in the HMMWV's. Where can you buy the shims? Are they the same as any civvy shims?

    M998 6.2L STARTER SHIMS

    starter is having an engaging problem and the engine will not turn over. Mechanic says he is having trouble finding starter shims (truck is a 1993/1994). Where can I go to find starter shims? Is there any civvy shims that will work?
