    M998 Doghouse sound proofing with Noico 80 mil

    After driving the 998 recreationally for a few years I’m finally getting around to sound insulating it a tad to make it more humane on my family (even though we wear earpro). After removing the doghouse rubber padding a single sheet of Noico black 80 mil was applied to the degreased surface...

    Sealing washer pump grommet

    Yeah I’ve been going through multiple leaks during rains here. In this case I’ve got a leak around the outside diameter of the rubber grommet and also through the wires feeding through the middle of the grommet. I’m gonna try sealing both with polyurethane sealant later on. Sent from my iPhone...

    Sealing washer pump grommet

    Tried DAP Ultra Clear today and had no luck with it sticking to the body or grommet. I suspect it was too cold at 40ish to apply or may be expired Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sealing washer pump grommet

    Leaking well enough to wash my feet and floormats. I have not been able to locate a replacement sans the whole pump assembly. 3M body sealant did not work. Silicone it or what All ears. Yeah, it rains a lot in WA... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear Main Seal part II

    CDR valve and hoses are new. [emoji106] No visible blow-by at idle. I have not performed a manometer test for crank case pressure yet. Final prep on main cap/block surfaces used brake cleaner followed by acetone. TBH I’m suspecting rear pan seal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear Main Seal part II

    M998 has been leaking from the front and rear seals. 6.2L engine. I’ve recently replaced the rear main seal per the TM procedure. Used Felpro/National 5163 seal. The seal was installed partially offset from main cap parting lines with a small dab of ultra on the ends per recommendation. Pan to...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finally diagnosed a body water leak in the support structure under the A pillar/windshield frame. 3M Auto-body Sealant to the rescue... So far no more leaks in the treated seams. [emoji3][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Finished installing a block heater on the M998 6.2L. Installation was relatively easy after draining the system and removing a freeze plug. The heater can bring the block temperature up nicely after 2-3 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Adding structural support for A-B pillars

    I have an M998 that is now equipped with a Plan B hard top. I'm curious if there are relatively easy ways to add structural reinforcement to the A-B pillars along the roof line similar to the tie-in that exists in a turret support which ties A-B-C structures. Seems like it would be relatively...

    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...

    Half shaft leaking

    Looks like the hub input seal. Follow the TM to remove the shaft and replace the seal. If the seal is leaking I recommend you do both seals at the same time it’s a larger job it probably well worth it. E.g. spindle hub seal as well. If you do do the spindle hub seal make sure you get the bearing...
