    M1079 Rear Stairs

    Back before YRC went tits up, I was able to ship a set of these for half the UPS quote. Not sure now.

    What can happen with ignition coils is that the copper windings inside can have good continuity, but the insulation has broken down, allowing the high voltage to jump to ground inside. A multimeter does not have sufficient voltage to test for this breakdown. You would need an expensive...

    So I was just looking for a Chevy Pickup...

    Probably the first 15 minutes of driving the top speed is around 40. Yeah grades will kill your speed, welcome to 1950's power to weight ratios. You are probably right though, carb ignition timing etc has to be pretty close to perfect to get the raging 130 hp.

    On mine, until the gear cases are hot, I can't get full governed speed either. The cold viscous gear oil sucks up a lot of power.

    M1152 PART NOMENCLATURE

    As far as “boggy”, the 302 doesn’t have a lot of azz under 2500 rpm. You can force high rpm shifts by using “hilly”. The 302 is ok with 3400 rpm all day, she’s screaming but that’s how uncle ran her back in the day.

    Looks like 42 nd Infantry Division (New York National Guard), 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry Regiment, Headquarters company, 85th truck assigned to company. Very storied history to this day. TP45 is of course tire pressure.

    Maybe try this, drive the truck up against an immovable object like a tree, put in high range, engine a little over idle, and crawl under the truck and beat on the reduction unit with a sledgehammer. If you get killed doing this, sorry in advance.

    How fast were you going when you did the "shift to high" trick? When it lets loose it will be a deafening bang. Removing and taking the transmission apart to fix this is no fun.

    New to the stable. M-54 gasser

    Joe do you think this truck has been restored in the past or is this still paint from military service? I suspect someone repainted it after leaving service as usually there are stars etc..

    Does a Caiman C9 acert fit in a FMTV?

    There were two versions of the Caiman, the first was based on the FMTV M1083 and has the C7. Then BAE came up with the (awful) Caiman II which has the C9 along with independent suspension.

    HMMWV Rocking

    Get H1 Alpha geared hubs with helical cut gears, that fixed the issue.

    Fuel water separator question

    Should be finger tight when you re-tighten it. The part is plastic so go easy on it if you use tools to loosen it

    Are you sure??? your wiki reads: "Green Valley is an unincorporated retirement community composed of 59 Homeowner Associations. " Hate to be a party pooper but this HOA nightmare comes up a lot on this board.
