I apologize for bringing this post back to life but is where the hose that is being described attached to? I was getting quite a bit of leakage from this outlet tonight.
I have let this truck idle in the driveway for 10-15 minutes with ZERO oil leaking and tonight I actually moved the truck...
Hi Folks,
I want to let everybody know that Tim M. over at Barstow answered questions for us and guided us through the lot preview and it's much appreciated. He had several haulers moving trucks/trailers/generators and his plate appeared to be full but he still took the time to help us out...
Hey Folks,
After being bummed that my M998 wouldn't start today I was able to salvage the rest of the day by being the high bidder on this vehicle. I drove to Barstow on Monday morning to see what it was like for a preview.
This vehicle really is in mint condition. There is no rust, no...
When I move the lever from STOP to RUN, I do hear a thunk sound. Is that the sound you are talking about or is there another one that I should be listening for?

Outside temp is 97 degrees. Vehicle does have fuel as I added 2 more gallons just to make sure it wasn't a stuck gauge. This is a 1986 M998 with a 6.2L that ran perfectly yesterday. There are three other occasions when trying to start the vehicle it took...
Hi Folks,
I took it to the shop today and before I had a chance to even start on it one of my guys actually viced up the water pump and cranked them off. He warmed the parts up with some MAPP gas and they came right off.
I appreciate the help gentlemen.
thanks,
Ron
Hi folks,
I am replacing the water pump on my M998 and can't find new couplers for the water pump. Autozone and Pep Boys don't stock the parts. Does anybody know what part number might cross reference with NAPA or online source for them? The old ones are frozen on the water pump and stripping...
That's what I figured but I just wanted to be 100% before purchasing anything. I really don't plan on using the vehicle at night but it would look much nicer going down the Las Vegas Strip with those lights :-D
thanks,
Ron
Will one of these mounted on the top of the cab of my M109 keep us cool in the 100+ degree Las Vegas heat?
I want to make it fun for the kids and not have them red-faced and minutes away from heat stroke while cruising around in the truck. This model has a 15,000 BTU capacity.
