    M998 flasher problem

    Don't overlook the ground strap that ties the 2 mounting/ground lugs together. I've seen one rusted right in half causing a similar problem.

    M998 flasher problem

    That cover as rusted as it is surely has let water in the wiring. Obviously you should replace the cover and probably the one on the other side as well. They cost about $20 each.

    Check the ground in the access panel inside the hood.

    change of the gear ratio

    Based on the claims on that page, to achieve 17% gain the hub gear ratio would be 1.6:1. Doing the math shows a 24 large and 15 tooth small would give a 1.6:1 ratio and a 17% increase in speed. The question is if it bolts in or requires modifications to the hubs to fit the larger 15 tooth...

    Parking Brake Replacement 1097R1

    Either will fit and the one with the button was an upgrade. I sent you a PM about one with a button but I have one available without the button if you're interested.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I regularly look for anything related to the Avenger platform for my truck. Rarely does anything come up and even more rare is it being useful to me. As I'm sure you are all aware, they don't really like people having missile launchers so finding anything related is difficult. I found...

    change of the gear ratio

    Unless you replaced the large gear in the portal hub with the planetary then we could have an 8:1 ratio with a top speed near 12 mph. LOL

    change of the gear ratio

    I don't see anything about 4.0:1 ratio geared hubs anywhere in there but did find this " *Add 1.92 to get total drive ratio (from geared hubs) " I also found this statement "Torque Sensing differentials (Torsen) 4.0:1 ratio" and that does not refer to the geared hubs but clearly states the...

    change of the gear ratio

    In your attached document it states 1.92:1 ratio for the geared hubs, I can only assume that is what you are talking about since I can't find anything else in that document that applies. If I am wrong please point it out.

    Gauge Cluster

    Well that looks correct. You could get a new dash plastic OEM for about $50 in green. My guess is all the wires are a mess behind the dash and getting in the way as you try to seat the dash. And/or maybe you speedo cable is catching up and hold you out. EDIT: A quick look found this...

    Gauge Cluster

    I think the gauge holes have alignment slots making that difficult but good guess. Can't wait to see the answer. EDIT, unless you mean flipped front to back ... not top to bottom.

    Duramax 6.6 and Allison Transmission Swap

    Why would he have to adapt to an Allison? The Allison is harder to deal with from a standalone TCU stand point. If he considers a Cummins swap he could much more easily adapt it to a 4L80 that already bolts up to the rest of the drive train. Basically just an engine swap.

    The transformation of the 998

    That's where mine is located on my M998 as well.

    Long Shot, Trying to find TM 9-1425-433-10

    Thanks for the information and I suspected it wasn't available hence "Long shot" in the title. As far as problems go, i'm not that worried. It's not like I have the missile battery or access to stinger missiles LOL. And if I remember correctly, they are fighting for my right to free speech...

    Long Shot, Trying to find TM 9-1425-433-10

    I believe it is for the Avenger but I'm not positive since I can't find it. Any information or help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Can anyone tell me

    The problem with online auctions is people look at what other people are ASKING and not what they are actually SELLING for to determine price. One guy ask $1000 for a $50 item and then everyone else thinks it's worth $1000 and that isn't the case. You have to look under Completed auctions and...
