    Hard Top Install/Removal?

    Starter/Bendix Stuck in Flex plate issue. M998 1988

Also can’t speak to the quality of so called “rebuilt“ starter. your path to salvation is going to be time consuming and expensive as it relates to...

    New M998 Owner - White-Blue Smoke

    diesel oil is charcoal black after running, this is normal....that’s why you use an oil made for diesel engines, it has a detergent in it. Plus you can never get what is in the cooler out. Change and leave it.
