That pitman was from Kascar, AMG does not have any at this time, the one I pulled came with the truck out of DRMO.
There were no markings on the pitman arm at all which I think is a little off, maybe real factory pitman arms for the basic/A1 are no longer available
I have never seen an antenna mount with that pattern, but it SEEMS obvious that is what was there with the radio or amplifier on top of the fender.
The last duty this M998 saw was with a group of reserve helicopter pilots serving under an active CO in San Antonio, maybe it was an air band...
Interesting, the new pitman arm moved the steering wheel, the left spoke went from 9 oclock to 11 oclock, I assume properly aligned the spokes should be at 10, 2 and 6 oclock
Speaking of OE, the seller on this Basic/A1 Pitman arm told me it was factory AMG, these were the only markings.
And it was supplied with the wrong size Zerk fitting, seems like a decent part otherwise.
I dropped the box the floor and the ol Diggy Dog went to work on it right away!!!
OK that makes sense, Kascar is selling the Moog upgrade, I thought they only sold OEM parts.
It just says "upgrade" so I confused it with a A1/A2 upgrade, my bad.
I am thinking of doing the steering linkage upgrade and have a question about the idler arm.
I see one online seller selling a "upgrade idler arm kit" that includes the bolts and some spacers, are these spacers required when upgrading a Basic?
IIRC my frame already has some spacers attached.
You know I am actually not sure, the factory panel I worked on I had taken apart to begin with, I would think some real good "Q" tips soaked in rubbing alcohol could access the windows if you pull the lamp sockets, but again not sure.
If unplugging the TDM which causes the fan to run all the time "fixes" the overheating then you have an issue with the fan control system.
Most of the new parts out there are Chicom crap including thermal switches, this is one of the big issues with just throwing parts at a truck instead of...
Are they actually marked 24V? many sellers are selling 12V as 24V knowing they will usually last until it is too late to return them.
An LED should last indefinitely
I have put arrows pointing to the lenses, they should only be finger tight, you will most likely need to clean the lenses and also pull the instrument cluster out of the dash and clean the windows on each gauge.
There are plastic windows on the body of the gauges that allow the light to...
One of the good hits (there are some returns that are not useful like "parts target" or "WB parts")
was HPG, only $211.
You can also put a WTB in the classifieds and see if you can pick up a used one.
Also if someone replaced the lamps with LEDs there will be no difference in how bright they are, the "dimmer" simply inserts a resistor in series with the lamps, the LEDs do not pull enough current to cause a voltage drop across the resistor thus dimming the lights.
There are two lenses above...
There is always someone here that will try to help.
But downloading and learning how to use the TMs is VERY beneficial, it will help you understand your HMMWV much better
