Will try to get a compression test in soon. I think I hear some lifter chatter, but a friend disagreed with me, so that might be a potential issue as well.

Last I checked the air filter, the filter did look new.

The smoke is blue. It is unlikely that it is injectors or the pump as I had them replaced about 3-months ago with new parts.

I have a 1985 M998 with the GM 6.2L Diesel with some issues. Off start the vehicle will run fine until the motor gets under heavy load, where it will start to smoke out the exhaust. Once the vehicle is warm, it will consistently burn oil and struggles to hit 30MPH. I just repaired an overheat...

How do you go about using FOIA to get info on your trucks?

I just went and looked at my 85', and I don't have a cable like that. What year is your truck, and what MWO tabs are in the driver door compartment?

Where on the underbody is the cable?

If memory serves, its truck positive goes to battery positive. them the small cable runs negative to positive between the batteries. then negative on the other battery goes to truck ground.

It was definitely burned ATF. The tranny shifts well overall, except when shifting from 3rd to 4th (35 MPH). At this point it just hangs there and at times will not shift no matter what I try. Occasionally it'll shift if I let off and coast for 10 seconds or so. I am starting to wonder if there...

When I drained the oil the first time, it seemed to be pure ATF (albeit burned). Is there a good way to clean the system without draining multiple and filling times?

Still looking for vehicles? I have the following: Tan 1985 HMMWV, CAMO 1993 M35-A3, and a CAMO 1978 M35-A2. I could probably bring the HMMWV, and the A3. If needed or wanted, I'd be happy to drive down from MI. Just let me know soon!

Was your truck struggling to shift, and when it did, slam down in gear? If so, I had the same issue a couple of months ago. I never fully figured out the issue, but did make some headway with cycling through new ATF, as well as an interior and exterior filter change.

I ended up tightening up the lines, and flushing the system. So far so good.

I have an interesting one for y’all. My humvee with the 6.2 is leaking ATF in 2 locations. One is the bottom hose that connects to the transmission cooler. The other leak is where a similar line hooks up to the Transfer Case. The one in leak in front seems to be under pressure to spew fluid all...
