Hood Reinforcement Panel (NSN: 2510-01-547-7220)
The hood was starting to flex with one man openings and armored grill. Really impressed with the build quality on this kit. Great fit and tons more structural rigidity. I've scanned and attached the instructions for the kit as well.

Thanks.
Interesting that my ‘89 M998 had zero insulation other than the doghouse and interior mats. I.e. no underbody insulation whatsoever.

What do you use?
I take it the later silver style underbody insulation is referenced in a new parts manual/service manual?

Installing insulation and retainer on an M998 with none. TM 9-2320-280-20-3 Section 10-31 is a great guide. That said the installation refers to this piece being in two sections vs one piece (12446852). Is this piece supposed to be cut along the parting line or is the installation process wrong...
Ditto ref universal joints. I just replaced all the front and rear shaft joints in my M998. All were loose/worn to some degree. One was bone dry and approaching failure immanently.
Also a good opportunity to check and replace the front shaft carrier bearing if you have the early model front...

Great old thread. I'm investigating retrofitting this insulation into an M998 and was also a tad befuddled about where the various pieces fit onto the vehicle.
TM 9-2320-280-20-3 Section 10 has good illustrations and procedures for insulation installation/replacement.
Applied Noico 80ml to the windshield duct cover trim piece today.
Basically followed this procedure:

Covers are twist lock. Counter clockwise to remove for access to bulbs. They have a tendency to melt so removal may require creative work if so.
