    Best Place to Buy Brake Pad For M998

    The brakes on an M998 are basically from an '87 Eagle and are available anywhere. If the rear brakes have been upgraded to the dual pull style (Wilwood) then you need pads specifically for them.

    '97 M1097a2 4L80e is bad. Need advice - DIY rebuild or junkyard swap?

    The first thing you need to do is pull the trans and disassemble it (or have it done) then you can make an informed decision as to what the damage is and the length you need to go to to repair it. If it's just bands and solenoid replacements on your original trans that's going to cost you a...

    White smoke at idle and driving.

    It's winter and that's when the cold advance starts working. Maybe your issue is with a bad switch. In mine I saw white smoke for about 10 minutes until the engine warmed up. It's tucked away on the rear and of the right side of the engine. It's easy to check by removing the engine cover and...

    Alternator bracket? Serial number? Ugh

    With the popularity of the 200 amp alternator conversions in the HMMWV there should be some of those 60 amp brackets floating around out there. Maybe somebody here on the forums will part with their old one. Keep your fingers crossed!

    Rivet Information

    My experience with rivet tools is that most of the various available adapters are made by the same company and will fit almopst any tool whether it's CherryMax, Huck, FSI or one of the others. The offset adapters, right angle or nose extensions all seem to be the same.

    Stuck Fan Clutch

    A few months back I did the fan clutch / water pump / hoses replacement and pulled the radiator stack out as a unit. What I learned when reinstalling it is that you can't just let it sit on the frame when you bolt it back in. I did that and the fan kept touching the shroud. The other thing I...

    Rivet Information

    I had mine service a few years back at FSI in Sonoma and it still leaks a little bit but works perfectly but Steve is right, most were surplussed out because of leaks. The manual units will do rivets and rivnuts while the pneumatic ones will only do rivets. Both great products though.

    Rivet Information

    A little history: The rivets are called Cherry-Max and when installed the mandrel (the "nail" in the middle) snaps off and seals the hole. Cherry-Max rivets are extremely length specific and you need the right one based on the thickness of the material your rivetting. I've bought hundreds of...

    Stuck Fan Clutch

    Just out of curiosity how's your power steering? The pressure that cycles the fan comes from the power steering pump and if that's failing it may not be producing enough pressure the cycle the fan clutch but a gauge on the output of the Cadillac valve will answer that question. mgFray, the fan...

    Voltage Issue With Head Lights

    The headlights are a major PITA because they can be crosswired at a couple of points right there at the headlight buckets. The wires from the headlight itself connect to feedthus inside the bucket that then connect to harness wires on the outside of each bucket. Make sure all the 17, 18, and 91...

    Brake light trouble.

    I couldn't agree more with you about reading the -10! New buyers should have to sign off on that before they're allowed to take possession of their truck. As for the brake led, I hadn't considered that it's also a warning for a brake system imbalance but adding another one to the trucks...

    Brake light trouble.

    I always thought you could add a diode in the circuit so that the E brake light on the dash would light when you stepped on the service brakes as an indicater that the rear lights were working. I never worked it out but it should be a simple addition to the wireing.
