A big thanks to the work done and posted on an old thread here on SS by 85 USMC M998. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/6-2l-wait-to-start-light-not-coming-on.139538/ After driving the M998 all over the place the past month it just decided to no longer show the wait light or energize the...

I've had the BMI turbo installed for about a year and a half and love it, but I am ready to get rid of the exhaust going under the frame rail. Rerouting it to be in the tunnel will involve moving a lot, including transmission cooling line and I am concerned it will still place a hot pipe close...

I searched around and didn't see a similar thread, so I am starting one. After almost five years of ownership I realize I need to get the M998 out exploring a bit more. I have put a ton of miles on it, but hardly any that really put it to its intended use. Here in NC my two main areas I want...

I was picking up a govplanet AAR 60.5 container today at butner nc and saw plenty of hmmwvs and m1102 trailers being prepped for auction. Lots of trailer mounted generators too. The pics were a bit grainy due to distance and rain. I was waiting to get loaded but had to stay in the loading area.

I've had my M998 for 4 years and the brakes have always shuddered once they heat up ever since the beginning. The pads have plenty of meat left on them, they do not drag as verified both by spinning them up on a lift and also driving for a few miles and slowing down without brakes and feeling...

I was curious if anybody has installed a wicked wheel setup for the BMI turbo and if any benefits would be seen at lower RPM. I've got the BMI kit installed on my 6.2 early this year and have been loving it, especially mated with the 700r4. The one gap I see for myself and maybe others with a...

I thought I’d share my restomod project that’s ongoing and progress so far. I use the truck a lot from the beach, to the farm, camping, Home Depot runs, etc so I made the truck to do what I want it to do while hopefully honoring the 30 year old military vehicle it is. Base vehicles- 1993 M998...

So today was the day to head to get the turbo 400 transmission swapped on the M998. I have purchased and received a level 3 700r4 from Bowtie with all the accessories and it was in the bed of the humvee and ready to head out. Yesterday I had finished installing the tach from SECO and also...

Hi All - I thought I would pass along some lessons learned for doing the geared hub seals. This may be obvious to some of you but the TM's never call it out and the youtube world has multiple ways of attacking this work and all seemed overkill and way longer than needed. So what I did was...

I know it’s been mentioned many times about keyed ignitions being a bad idea. Can I ask an ignorant question of why an ignition switch if rated for 24V would still be a problem? Is it amp draw through it? Any idea what the amp draw is through the switch for an M998? I guess I could clamp on...

Hi All. My starter and I are in a love hate relationship. I posted a while back that my starter wasn't fully engaging on my '93 M998 6.2L. Long story short I pulled it, took it to the starter shop and they rebuilt it fully and found that burrs had made their way into the starter and were...

Hi All - So I have a leak at my injector pump that is leaking about a drop of diesel every 2-3 seconds. Its enough to make the valley on top of the engine fill during a long drive and then pour down during acceleration onto the transmission, exhaust, starter, generally make a mess and smell...

Hi All Id like to tap into the huge amount of experience and knowledge here on an issue I’m working on. Starting this week a few times the starter has not engaged the first try. It just whirls or barely grinds then whirls. If I wait for it to spin down and try again it works fine. Its...

I wanted to share the M998 I recently purchased through a fellow SS member here. He bought the truck initially, received it, and also did a huge amount of work to get the truck in great shape; painting, parking brakes, cooling system, top/doors, etc. I purchased it off him and have since...
