    1990 M998 Starting issues

    Maybe there is mud or insect nest in your drain line. On starting, if you are not seeing the voltmeter dip during “wait to start” you have burned out glow plugs most likely. Check that your start box is not putting out continuous voltage to the glow plugs, they burn out after 10 seconds...

    Glow Plugs

    I had some that wouldn’t pull right out, was thinking they were swollen, in fact it was just deposits that I was able to remove by rotating the plug while pulling on it with a teensy vise grip.

    Master Cylinder Push Rod Adjustment

    The rod protruding from the booster, when at rest, should just barely touch the piston of the master cyl. If it pushes on it, brakes won’t release completely.

    MEP-802A Busted Connecting Rod End

    It was probably generating it’s little azz off when the rod let go. Other rod bearing will be pitiful as well. Be sure to plastigauge the crank before assuming it’s ok to use as is. I would fix what you got.

    growler differentials, CV axles, knuckles

    MUTTs were designed in the late 1950s and the powertrain did not change. Growlers were designed 50 years later. Sure they used off the shelf components available currently but not rebuilt M151 parts.

    Different turrets

    I don’t think the round stamped weapons tray fits the M1114, I think that is late A2 only. I have a M1114 bearing and the round stamped weapons tray does not match up to it.

    Different turrets

    I might add that that TM is super confusing as organized. I printed the turret applicable pages and rearranged the pages such that all the same UOCs were grouped together. Then it made more sense. You then have to pick a path to go down, as the turret components don’t necessarily interchange...

    Different turrets

    Start with TM9-2320-387-24P. It’s by no means comprehensive of the myriad of configurations fielded.

    Jeep M38A1 radio

    I have looked everywhere and I cannot find the drawings. No big deal though, the wood blocks are 2x4 true dimension white oak blocks that are the same length as the 299 feet. You will see that the 299 hangs over the sponson, these blocks accommodate that. The mount should allow about an inch...

    Carburettor flooding. Help !!!

    Your problem is new loads of crap being pumped out of the tank and holding the needle valve open. Put a filter before and after the fuel pump. Carry spares. When the truck won’t go 60 mph anymore it’s time to replace filters.

    Your trailer does not appear in any of the usual military equipment reference manuals.
