I'm looking to install a Frantz filter that I have languishing in the garage. Looking for suggestions on how to plumb the pressure feed and return feed.
For the pressure side I have been looking at installing a Tee in line between the oil pressure sender. However, I would prefer a dedicated...
I have a Frantz bypass filter in the garage waiting to be used and have been thinking of adding it to the 998. Curious if anyone is running a bypass filter and if so where you mounted it. Also, where did you plumb the filter return?

I'm looking for the part number for the small triangular shield in the lower left hand corner of this picture. I have not been able to locate this part in the relevant TM I have. Also, are there any additional heat shields on the crossover pipe for the M998 naturally aspirated applications...
I'm looking for the part number and specifications for the stud that connects the front of the starter (toward front of vehicle) to the support bracket. It appears to be M10-1.5 pitch with a slotted head on one side and a single nut. I'm asking as the stud in my starter needs to be replaced or...
I’ve searched through the old threads and found that the military plugged the valley drain on some engines.
That’s the case with my 6.2 L. It looks like there’s a steel dowel or plug in the valley drain I’m curious if this has been hammered/epoxied in or whether it’s NPT threaded and it...
I have the top cover off and need to R&R the shaft for seal replacement. Looks like the transmission kick down cam and accelerator cam need to come off first. I presume the cross pin (10) needs to be tapped out?

Need an assist identifying this front spring. I could not locate this part number. Wire diameter is 0.925-0.930. I presume this is a 6005787 954#/in spring.

I just completed installation of the mud flap kit on my 998 with airlift rear bumper. The close out plates are damaged and frankly very flimsy. Price per unit is ~$60-$70 from our normal HMMWV parts suppliers. For what they are, that's ridiculous.
These parts are injection molded but could...
Having a heck of a time figuring out how this mounts back on the intake manifold studs. Anyone have a detailed picture or TM?

I’ve been having increasingly hard starting while cold. Recently replaced all glow plugs with Wellman improved model and that helped greatly.
Of course, running HMMWV today in the snowy weather I now have a single blink error code but the truck starts and the plugs cycle.
After two more warm...
I’m looking to cut the diesel fumes a bit on the property. Anyone adapted small cat or dpf to the npt exhaust output?

Ok, I’m servicing all filters but am stymied on the water separator. HD strap and band style tools are just crushing the housing with no relief. I niw have the top and side panel removed so I have clear access to the filter mount laterally. Any suggestions on next steps/tools to get the filter...
Looks like there is an external diesel leak originating from the injectors. Lines look ok, no leaks. Are there o-rings or other serviceable seals?

Sharing progress on my project to connect a MEP-802a to the home for backup power.
Infamous well nut fix. Recommend starting with this first. My genset worked great however leaked after a few weeks.
Electrical panel interlock installed. This required adjusting position of all breakers a...
Anyone out there find a source for canvas/synthetic covers? Easy enough to make with a commercial sewing machine (which I don’t have)

I’m considering taking a role in California. But I have a nice M998. I understand the California no longer registers these vehicles. Love to hear the team experience on this. I prefer not to have to sell my vehicle. P.m. if needed

Curious how these ride. Given the spring rate difference I would expect a brutal ride unloaded and little flex offroad.
