Anyway I found that the Feedthru Terminal , TM 9-2320-280-24P-1 figure 69 *a

Got my order from Kascar today, did not expect it but hey, I'm happy. So installed the doghouse latch and the spring clip for holding the top of the doghouse. It might be just me but a well fitting doghouse did seam to lower the noise level.
Also removed all glow plugs and tested them, had 4...
Welcome from South Florida, you came to the right place, down load the TM's here on the site and start reading, I have a M923A2 that I love, she's big, but beautiful. Parts are available and she's easy to work on.
Again Welcome
Today reinstalled rear curtain after a good cleaning, cleaned the top, rinsed off bed and sides, reinstalled doors, installed green LED dash lights, checked date code on all tires... 3 are pretty old '03 and '04 codes with 50% tread and 1 like new 95% tread with a '15 code. The older tires...
Welcome from South Florida, as mentioned above,,,welcome to the madness. Pic's are always good to post, ask questions when you are stumped, download all TM's are search them first, the -10 is the first one to read.
Enjoy and welcome again.
There are free manuals right here for downloading, go to the top of the page and you will see Technical Manuals, have a look in there, download everything for the M998.
Since my last post, #2506, found issue with front marker light, ended up being a bad ground, so cleaned connections, coated with dielectric grease (boots also thanks to juan), trouble shot my fan issue using the -20-1, traced issue to time delay module, ordered a replacement from Eric's...
Yesterday pulled all 4 tires off (not at same time) had a good look at hubs, boots, half shafts, gear oil level in hubs, overall condition of tires, then put it all back together using anti seize on the wheel lugs, a few were a bit hard to remove but a good cleaning and anti seize did the trick...
Installed home made grounding kit, used 4awg wire, ya overkill but .... go big or go home ....
Continuing with my cleaning project, got under her today,,,, wow, dirty, need to get the power washer fired up.
Picked mine up yesterday, today she got a bath, she was a dirty little girl. Still needs more scrubbing but it's a start. Posed her next to her big brother. Pulled up the rear covers but did not find any hidden treasure. Tomorrow the 5 ton and I are going to a Toys For Tot's event, so the little...
Picked up in Lake Butler, Florida. Iron Planet rep Larry was great, very helpful.
I had a chance to look her over this morning and was very happy with what I saw. Inspection report showed head lights not working but they did, so got 2 LED headlight, batteries look recently installed, no...
Trailer was their 7500 pound version so well with in the weight limit. Trailer was no problem, trucks were the issue, first truck had a very large rip/cut in the rubber hose that connects the filler pipe to the gas tank allowing the fuel to pour out while trying to fuel up. So...changed that one...
Got her home today after a uhaul nightmare. So long story short 3 uhaul trucks later I got her home. Started at 0600 morning of 7 dec and ended 0020 8 Dec, only a 600 mile round trip... She's still on the trailer until sun up, then I'll move her off the trailer.
Just drove her last Sat, did not notice anything out of the ordinary. I am glad I caught it also, quick and easy fix when you have the part on hand, better to change it on a sunny day and not a rainy night...
Just got this:
Congratulations, Your EUC for sale ....... has been approved!
Purchased 12 Sep. Now to make pick up arrangements, planning to pick her up myself, not too far from home (300 mi +/- each way), uHaul car transporter.
Best day ever...
During today's walk around I found a potential problem just waiting to spring on me. Had the belt been in a different position I never would have seen it, sorry took belt off before I took pictures.
New belt installed and old belt in my just in case pile...
