    I am 90% sure that is a 6.2L, (looking at the water crossover) better than an early 6.5L but if they had changed the engine in 2004 it would most likely have been a GEP. A pic of the back of the engine with the doghouse removed would confirm. Pretty cool having one of the first full year of...

    According to the serial number it is a 1989 or 1990, you should look up the MWO numbers to see what they upgraded, the parking brake would be one. EDIT, I was wrong it is a 1986

    No need to plan on changing the glow plugs unless they need to be replaced after troubleshooting them. I would strongly recommend against this being a 1st vehicle, they have poor visibility, no anti lock brakes, much wider than a normal vehicle and survivability in a wreck is actually very poor...

    I am a little curios, they did not produce a M998 in 2004, AFAIK all M998s that were rebuilt were rebuilt as 1097s Some pictures would be nice.

    First things first. Did you buy it from GP or an individual? If you bought it at auction there is a ton of time and money you need to spend before adding the accessories like the $1000 spare tire mount I suspect you bought it from an individual as I have not seen too many M998s at auction...
