I am getting very good at rebuilding the front suspension as I have tried a number of combinations of parts to get my M998 to look level. Currently running 2" body lift, 2" lift coil spacers, and uncut armada springs in the front but the shock is limiting how far the front wheel will extended...

There is a steal on some new 44" pitbulls nearby. I have been looking for 42" or 43" but nothing has come up. These 44s look brand new and like I said the price is right. My truck has 4" total lift (2" suspension and 2" Body lift) you guys think it would fit 44x19.50-16 tires?

My R1 was running like a top when I left for vacation, when I got back 6 days later I went to move it and it fired right up but died immediatly. Tried to start it again but it just cranks strongly with no start. All maintanance was done recently, new-ish glow plugs and temperature control unit...

Well, finally got all of the chores done on HMMWV went to take it for a test drive and accidentally ran over my hi-lift jack, I put it in drive to move over the jack but I heard sparks and looked forward to see sparks and smoke coming from somewhere behind the "dash" (seemed to be coming from...

Im trying to install a Transmission temperature gauge before some longer trips I have planned. I can't decide what to do about the 12V constant power wire the gauge requires. 1: Why does a temp gauge or any guage need a constant power wire? 2: Can the constant 12V wire be tied into the 12V...

While installing my 2" body lift I could tell the nylon tube that connects the front to the back of the gas tank wasn't going to stretch and fit while still going the subframe. I cut the compression fitting off to pull through the subframe thinking that would give me enough slack to reconnect...

Hello all, I have a 2006 M1097R1 that is getting close to being done but I want to install a transmission temperature gauge. Has anyone done this before? I did a lot of research on the theory of where to put it on a 3L80 but no one specifically mentioned which port or connection to use. I'm...

Hello all, I wanted to install an LED light next to my light switch to let me know if I left the lights on. My thought was to splice a hot wire once the top switch was moved to anythign other than "Off" using the picture below I thought wire "E" would be the one to use but it only illuminates in...

Evening all, I accidentally bought a M1097 from GovPlanet. I say accidentally because I thought it was going to go for a lot more than what I bid. I ended up winning it for $3,900. Im thrilled with the outcome but I'm left wondering why didn't it go for more? I must have missed something...
