    Stuck glow plug, advice needed.

    Folks, Thanks for the kind advice. I was doing more learning on this and I don't see how removing the injector will help with a frozen or stuck glow plug at all. I think the glow plug is part of the head. I am looking at this clear picture from a YouTube and it looks to me like the glow plug...

    Stuck glow plug, advice needed.

    Thanks for the advice. I was reading some removed heads and other injectors so I was not sure. I think I should be able to manage to remove the injectors myself. But right now I am a bit bummed out. I think I should just let the truck sit till I build up some motivation again.

    Stuck glow plug, advice needed.

    Sorry i was not clear, I have one that is frozen in the rhreads and I cannot turn. And another that swelled and is stuck. Hysterical review of that tool. This is how I felt after two hours inventing new curse words... Edit: In the meanwhile, I successfully managed to snap the hex head off...

    Stuck glow plug, advice needed.

    Was busy today trying to replace all the glow plugs as a maintenance item. Got busy on the pass side, cylinders 8 & 6 went smooth. Cylinder 4 was seized. The officer I bought the M998 from said he replaced all the glow plugs, but #4 was a different shade and I think he never did #4 as he did...

    Windshield Wiper Inop

    I am a newbie but I had this problem also. The issue usually is the contacts at the bottom of the windshield get corroded. When you measure the voltages at the leads on the motor the VOM kind of fools you as they are normal but not enough current to drive the motor. In my case I have a helmet...

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    Here is a picture from underneath of the #1 cylinder. All the other cylinders seem to have a spare too. It is a 92. I was told the controller was replaced by the person I bought it from, but evidently he did not install a modern one.

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    Oh boy, now I am really confused. Mine has two harness connectors on the engine side as pictured above. All the pictures I see of the NARTRON or the KDS S3 have only one connector on the engine side :eek: So if I use a NARTRON or KDS S3, or even Camotek - what the deal with my harness...

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    Yes, I always wondered why I saw a spare plug dangling underneath each glow plug. So now I know why.

    [Q] Wait Light - ground switched?

    Hello once again. I tried searching. I beg the collective for some more of your fine advice to help me avoid wasting tons of $ Before I upgraded to a 200 AMP generator, the Wait Light did not light for the last couple months. I would wait a minute after turning to run and the truck would start...

    [Q] - Best way to remove lower bolt for rear lower A-arm?

    Hi there. Another opportunity for you guys to mock me. I am planning on installing a rear winch. I have the m998 WINCH MOUNTING PLATE 12469385 REAR 5340-01-485-5962 I assume the rear lower a-arm bolt goes to the the yellow arrows. I don't have much of a shop, and I am old and feeble. I...

    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    I'll post my final results, which I consider excellent for me being a old feeble newbee. This generator seems to function just fine as wired according to the diagrams shown above. The stock guage on the dash now shows a reading in the middle of the green range whereas before with the 60 amp...

    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    The +24V, +12V are labeled. The red terminal is easily identifiable, and gets connected to 5A. The other two smaller terminals are not labeled, and are both beige. There is a yellow dot painted between the red and beige terminals on one side, which leads me to believe that beige one gets 2A...

    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    NSN 2920-01-458-9238 - seems to fit. Just was not sure what the extra beige terminal should or should not be jumpered. I asked Niehoff.

    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    Just wanted to double check the wiring for the three connectors on the 200 AMP regulator. I ran a 12V heavy gauge battery cable to the first battery positive terminal and will connect that to the big 12V lug. There are three terminals on the regulator. On one side of the regulator - there...

    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    Hello, Once again I ask the collective for guidance on a question I came up with regarding upgrading a 60 AMP to 200 AMP gen. Please reference this YouTube: at the 16:30 mark. The creator references that there is a second cable supplied in the conversion kit that goes to the first battery...

    Transmission swap RPM issue

    I had to read this several times so perhaps I am still confused since I am a newbie. Why did you not take the 6.5L and 4L80 together to the other truck? Is the 6.5 shot? When I swapped the TH400 with a 4L80 on my 6.2, I bought the US Shift tranny controller with their harness. I also got a new...

    M1097R1 battery replacement help

    If you want the best, closest you can come to the military ones - the Oddyssey seem to be rated the longest lasting on this forum. I found them cheapest at Batteries Plus believe it or not. They had to be ordered but came in within a couple of days and they were fresh. They often offer a 10%...
