I'm just having the fortune of experiencing the no start issues. I've had my M998 a couple of weeks, the one good thing about it was how well it starts. Then today I need to move it and all of a sudden, the PCB just clicks when you try to start but nothing from the starter.
I hooked a slave...
I've got a M998 and want to get just a little more ground clearance. I have a friend that has some 40" tires but they are 15.5" or 16.5" wide instead of stock 12.5".
I don't think I really want any more width but what others are going using if they are going with bigger tires. My setup has...
Just an FYI for anybody wanting to know the weight. Standard 37" tires, I do have the side rails and benches in the back and two people were in the unit on the scales.
There is an OLD scale house close to the house where you have to weigh on axle at a time. Front was #3,300 & rear was #2,360...
1992 M998, yesterday I stripped the inside of two on mine trying to get them out. Anybody have a retail parts store # on these or would these be same as a 9x Hummer H1?
Thanks
Additionally, what do you guys do to get these out. I should have tried some heat I guess.
Trails around here have quite a few rocks and looking for something to protect body.
I've found some places that sell H1 Rock Rails. Curious as to what others on here have done?
Also, thinking about a skid plate for the bottom.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Thanks. Not finding the 23500012 for my 6.2 on ebay. Are these interchangeable? The only difference I see from the pictures is an threaded hole for a hose fitting that connects to the waterpump. On the 12554091 for the 6.5, it rounds out to the front. On mine it's on the bottom.
Part # on mine is 23500012 (What I found in another thread was not correct.)
Haven't had any luck finding one of these. Searching for an hour, found a couple of threads where people have had the same problem I did. Bottom bolt was welded to the threads of the crossover. Trying to change the...
Another thing I thought of, the guy at Kascar said if you go with a Turbo, you had to change out the drive shafts, is that correct? Also, don't you have to have an inner cooler for a turbo to work correctly?
Thank you much. I just got back from Kascar today. Guys are demo'ng Humvees and think it's dictated what you can get.
Course I called them and they said the body, radiator and everything was totally different on the hmmwv's with the 6.5 TD versus the 6.5 & 6.2. I thought they were wrong and...
The engines available come mated to the 4L80E. I'm not sure you get the wiring harness or not. But both the 6.5 NA & Turbo come with the 4L80E.
The engines are from Hmmwv's so they would have to have the rear mount turbo. If you go the turbo route, is there a different radiator, were the...
I've been searching through a lot of threads on here but wanted my own for opinions.
We picked up a couple of M998's and a few have water in the engines. They have 6.2 engines, but have found some take outs complete 6.5's & 6.5 turbo's.
We'll probably use these mostly for 4x4. My preference...
So far it appears the tap to the oil gauge did the trick. Started, tapped it twice and it started working. Turned it off immediately and went back to zero. Change to start and it moves a little and after starting a couple more times, appears to be working now.
Thanks everyone.
Thanks Porkysplace,
I've been searching but can't find anything on this. Are their part numbers, sizing etc for the T, items to get? I'm hoping not to have to make multiple trips to Napa tomorrow in trying to troubleshoot this.
Thanks.
Thank you for the replies. I went back and checked my Gov Planet report as I wouldn't have bid what I did on this one if it didn't run and have oil pressure. The oil pressure in their test was close to 60 psi. So whatever it is had to happen between their test and now. I won it back in Oct...
Just got my first M998 home. Installed new batterie and Iit started up smooth as silk. Engine sounded good and smooth just no oil pressure. No smoke or blow by that I see. Not sure it's a sensor or something else. Oil level is good. I hope to look at it tomorrow. Anybody else had this...
I'm in Charlotte, NC waiting for EUC. Pretty sure I know general idea of the question and I had an initial problem when calling a regional office. I've got a rep in Raleigh I'm supposed to call when I get my EUC. I'll send everyone a PM and maybe we can get on a group email and help each...
