Just run one belt, carry the spare.. when and if it breaks, swap it out... just a thought... but I wouldn't do it.. Stryker makes a nice set of matched belts if you're interested. I can put you in touch with a rep. ;):LOL:
Start here... Check voltage, then see what exactly what you're dealing with. It's a good video on 60 amp regulator adjustment and output. If not in spec, continue with other measures.. 28-28.5 volts output is where the sweet spot is at about 1500rpm.... After that, if things aren't going good...
Well well well.. been a few days... been busy.. work and what not. Aggravating spouse... Where you going she asks, so I quit telling her I going to swoon on the M998.😂. So I worked on cleaning out the beast.. Must been 3 hours power washing after removing vital components.. Then I bagged...
Thanks everyone.. I will just do more due diligence and get the calipers out and find a suitable replacement.. I just figured someone on here might have replaced there boots and not entire joint... When I find one I’ll post for anyone that wants to replace there’s 👍🏼
I've looked extensively. Can anyone offer up an option for a boot cover for my radius arm/tie rod ball joint on a 88 m998 ....PLEASE .. I've checked to ball joint and it's fine, nice and tight and fully contained.. just need the BOOT... so tired of looking. My eyeballs are bleeding.

So, not much happening at the moment.. Compiling paperwork and getting ready to pressure wash. Gonna get cleaned up for move to work spot where it will be stationed for next few months as I go through the entire rig.. Just copied off some TMs and got my Bill Of Sale.. Got it day after I called...
Just saw this yesterday.. Eastwood makes a inner frame rust sealer in a spray can.. Just search, Rust Encapuslator and you’ll see plenty of options.. just be careful of application... some must be used on complete rust only, otherwise they will never harden..
Bummer MattNC, was just in Raleigh for daughters college soccer showcase.. Woulda loved to see you Hmmwv..I need to research more people before I head out of town next time ..Maybe we need a sticky or something that has members by state that wouldn’t mind fellow members stopping in for a peak...
I have read a post previously that a "guy" there has done some shifter conversions and may be a good source for trannies in the M998.. If i can find the previous post i will forward it to you. They even mentioned his name.. sorry i cant think of it off the top of my head.. If its same outfit...
Havent looked into it, but is dyed fuel any different from regular diesel? Is the only difference the red dye and fact that its not taxed on the front end the same... Just wondering, guess ill look into it.........well tool me 2 seconds.. Looks like non road diesel was made by the EPA in 2014...
Ahab, you say “plain Virginia 201st”, cuz that is curious to me because the “W” on the stenciled markings is almost hand written. The rest of the numbers and letters are clearly sprayed through a stencil.. FWIW..
Check out the link I posted above if your interested. It does appear to be West Virginia 201st Field Artillery Regiment..It’s a cool read on Wiki.. They were deployed to Gulf and on the 256th Anniversary of there founding, they fired 256 rounds into enemy positions.. I bet that was a barrage...

I've been researching this also. Additives like ATF fluid to help seals and clean pump. I've seen these all mentioned : WVO, ATF, Mystery Oil, 2 Stroke Oil. Seems like something I need to research but I think some benefits are there for some type of additive to ULSD...
