I am possibly looking at putting non-OEM seats in my M998. What's the hot setup? What's the science project?

I got my M998 back from the shop with new heads and water pump. There were a few "extra" parts in the back that weren't there when I brought it in. Anybody know what these are? (Attached)

Many thanks. It is the Time Delay Module that burned up.. After the shop replaced the heads on the engine they mis-wired the batteries (I have the before and after pictures) and then jump started it... I had the machine towed out of there before they could do even more damage. Now I am...

Any body know what this is on my M998? It is on top of the left front fender under the hood. Whatever it is it gave up the smoke it was holding inside. Any info is appreciated.

I have my M998 in the shop. I need a recommendation on Remanufactured heads or head kits. I thought I saw some on jegs, but am now having issues finding them. Any recommendation for buying 6.2l reman'd heads?

Yeah... it looks like I have at least a bad head gasket. Anybody know of mechanic that will do engine work on the M998 in the Atlanta area?

I am been thinking along those lines. Maybe a bit of wishful thinking that it is not head gasket. I am going to look/smell again in the coolant for bubbles and /or exhaust fumes. What did you do when you finally determined it was a head gasket? Were you thinking it was a cracked block/head?

I am looking for advice and parts for the wood slats on my troop carrier benches. Some are rotten and need to be replaced. Some are in fine condition. After planning down a piece it appears to be white oak. It looks pretty straightforward to make my own replacement slats. Before I make make...

Thanks!! @Mogman and @Milcommoguy Sorting the wheat from the chaff with the good quality and the absolute junk parts is great help. It is terrific aspect of having knowledgeable folks (who have the experience) on the forum. I will buy what is recommended today from AMG. After I cobbed...

I had a hair line crack in my M998 Surge Tank around one of the small top (pressure side) nipples. I didnt resist the cheapest knock off version I found and regret buying it. It has/had a poor cheesy spot welds holding the fill cap neck (2 pieces) to the reservoir and no sealant at all...
