Update: Generator replace with new one this evening. Volt meter is back up in the green and no more rattling. 2 questions: 1. Is there any value to the old generator, or just file it in the scrap metal bin? 2. After initially starting it a few times it idled way down and almost died a...

For instance, this has the same NSN # as mine, but in their description it does not say for the M998? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2920-00-909-2483-SAW-9092483-28V-60A-Alternator-1-1-4-TON-5-TON-Repl-AMA5104UT-/201628190503?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

Is there a common supplier of these? If there is I'm not finding it?

Been driving my 1985 M998 Humvee quite a bit, just took it on about a 600 mile round deer hunting trip last weeknd to northern Minnesota. About half way through that trip I started to notice a slight rattle, it got worse on the way home. Attached a youtube link to a video I just took...

Then I must be doing it right. Seems odd that 7 would fail that quickly?

Having a starting problem.....it isn't. Grabbed the multi meter to check the ohm's while the plugs were still in the truck. One terminal on a ground and another on the plug bullet. While the plugs where still in the truck, 1 plug tested at 2.0 ohms. The other 7, nothing. I pulled all...

Or any other auto parts store? And part #? Thanks Matt

I'm about 2 and half weeks into my new M998 now. Had a KDS green box, was having some intermittent glow plug light issues, and voltage drops on the meter. Decided to order up an S3 from Kascar, got it Friday and installed it Saturday morning. Everything seemed fine right away and into...

I was able to peel back some of the melted plastic and get an accurate count, it is a 36 tooth. Now is that correct for an 85?

Ok, I think I found the problem! The red gear inside the T case is obviously toast as you can see. Before I took the cast piece off the top of the T case I could see with the mirror that one side was jacked up a good 1/8" so it was installed incorrectly or not straight. Now I have a...

Truck started and worked perfect when I went out for lunch today? Pic of the control box I have.

So Assuming it is the box, what are my options? Something like this? https://www.real4wd.com/zedsuite/catalog/partdetail.aspx?partno=CR2701

I haven't checked the voltage, but it seems to have quite a bit of jam to turn it over when starting. Connections cleaned and good. Matt

I'm sure it's been discussed hundreds of times, and I did a search on the forum, but didn't find exactly what I was looking for. Just picked up a 1985 M998 last week, 6.2L. Did a few quick checks of the basics, got brand new 6TL batteries, and wanted to take it for a spin. First 3 days glow...
