So I ended up removing the fuel cap, cranked… no start. Batteries are very weak ( I have currently only 2 hooked up), so I will again tomorrow. I did lift the cab and prime the fuel/water separator for good measures. I thought it can’t hurt. Either way, no start unfortunately

Great! I really appreciate it. Can’t wait to test it

Can the air vent for the tank be easily identified? I would agree that this is the most logical explanation. first thing I do when getting home is to open the tank cap and see what happens!!!

Okay. Definitley will do that today as soon as I get home. Thank you!!

Happy Labor Day weekend! I have an issue that seems so simple, but I can not figure it out. My 1083A1 truck has been sitting for some time, but it always ran and I drive it on the road, registered it, loved it. Last spring, it didn’t want to start anymore or died right away. I traced it to a...

Not often enough due to mechanical problems and time constraints. I want to make it a reliable Expedition RV platform, but I m FAR away from that point. Oil pressure is low and bouncy. HEUI injection actuation pressure stability!? That’s a mouth full! No idea and obviously not touched it. ECO...

I should have added: I have owned the trucks for about 6 years now, my running truck is registered and road worthy. License plate/insurance etc. My other truck is purely parts, too many missing parts unfortunately but it came with it. I already upgraded to a commercial alternator, I believe it...

AWESOME! That’s all the info I was after. I appreciate your help!!!

Good day everybody! I would like to remove almost anything that only makes sense when being used in a battle environment, broadly speaking. Are there others that have done so or know where to look for guidelines to do just that. I would like to simplify the truck as much as possible and make...

Hello FMTV/LMTV gurus! Probably a ridiculous question - but it just shows how little I know. I have a 2000 1083A1, purchased at auction in Fairbanks. It ran pretty good, had some starting issues that were traced back to a solenoid on the left side of the engine, next to the power steering...

EXCELLENT! I have been at that specific spot on the forum, but didn't realize that there are multiple links. 🙃 Thank you for pointing me back to it. I got them all now! Good to hear it has a good rep. I/We are even more excited now to make this generator work again!!! It appears that you are...

Good day fellow SteelSoldiers! I came in possession (auction) of a MEP-804B generator, including the massive trailer that it is moved with. The motor however, was taken apart almost completely. I was after the trailer at first, but now, looking at this unit, I have a hard time to scrap it for...

Very nice!

Hey all! I have a year 2000 M1083A1 with the 3126 in it. This truck has lots of crucial missing parts unfortunately, but I am determined to make it run/complete! First one on the list - Steering Tie Rod (with boots)! I am aware of being in Alaska makes shipping expensive or difficult, but...

Alright! That helps for sure! Thank you!
