Followed procedure per unit maintenance TM Section 3-33. O ring was installed correctly and not pinched TMK during installation. The housing is definitely seeping past the ring upon inspection today. It did not leak previously.
Bummer, gather I’ll have to repeat the service.

Fuel filter. [emoji106]
Fine filter screen was good. Truck picked up a bit of power post filter change. I gather flow to the IP was restricted.
Original filter looks to have a minor mfg defect vulcanizing the metal screen to the end cap.

Finished reverse light installation.
Tractor switch in 3 speed shifter reverse location. Clearance is tight inserting shifter in body with oversize switch. It may take some finesse. Took the opportunity to aluminum nutsert the gearshift bolt holes.
Prestolite wiring and packard connectors...
Switched over to hardtop style windshield brackets. I prefer the better angle for the Xdoors. Moved the Plan B top forward a tad to accommodate the change in fitment.

I have original X doors on an M998. Currently well aligned to the striker pin and operating well.
Looking to adjust the door to sill and B pillar gap as a few doors are misaligned. What’s the fitment guidance for gap to sill and B pillar? Eg 1/4”-1/8” etc?

Finished installing LT inside cowl insulation. It’s a bear of a job unless the tub is off the frame but it can be done. TM is a good reference and fairly complete.
Note insulation piece must be cut in two along parting line per TM for retrofit or replacement on vehicle.

Old thread reactivation I know.
Parts TM was a great reference when looking at replacement rear springs for my M998. My vehicle had sagged springs RF and RR. To my surprise the 12338316-2 spring is used in the rear for the M998 H13 UOC. Same spring is used in the Hummer H1 snow plow...
Pipe plugs suck.
I measured alternator output voltage today 28V. The adjuster plug is frozen in place.
Nice procedural video btw:

Nice. I was thinking exactly along these lines of adding a mechanical gauge to the filter either at the pressure transducer location or the drain tap via a tee.

Q1:
I suspect a lift pump failure on my 6.2. Looking to tap in a test gauge at the pump and/or filter. What fittings/where do you tap in?
Q2:
IP advance is set at the marks no additional advance. Are there less expensive ways to check timing eg an inductive timing adapter etc?
