that is so true, the stress alone keeps one up all night .. I went thru a week-long learning curve to discover the ermeto's on the M62's were a one-shot OEM deal just for the A/W boom and been NLA a long time.. It took awhile of the "unknown" to find a hydraulics outfit that even remotely knew...

WillWagner, To avoid the inevitable scalp and hair treatment, perhaps you should do the task "Tactical" and wear your steel pot :LOL::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

okay good, now we can all understand that you are on the right track to getting to the bottom of it .. You maybe have thought about disconnecting the existing wire on the valve and manually touching a temporary hot wire to the valve to test it for start up and shut down? (you will have to...

Now THAT's a T&P to surely have !! ps: look out for the one driver (every outfit has at least one) who doesn't know any better to put diesel from the pods into his empty mogas tank when stranded way out on a desolate tank trail many miles from "home". ... He miraculously got a ride back...

Good Lord, please take me away in my sleep before i ever have to do this with my M62 , for surely the task will kill me with much suffering, bloody knuckles, bumps, bruises, pulled muscles, popped joints, and cussing the likes of which will not allow me thru the gates. o_O

that is for sure!! My M51 will roll 62mph and pull hills better than any multifuel 5T I have .. In the army, same thing , we called them road-runners or brush-burners depending whether they were on blacktop or narrow tank trails .. The M52 gasser tractors rolled pretty good empty but...

nice to see it has the original cargo bed for gassers (driver side stowage box)... the last unit i was in had two late-50s IHC gasser m54s set up as T&P units , hauling diesel for the BN's m48s and m60s .. what make is yours?

i'm unaware of any aftermarket ones... I have sold several used OEM in the last 10 years and have only one or two left .. I am 100% sure any D/W100-300 radiator support from 1975-1979 will bolt right into your truck however all of them except '77 & '78 will have a round cutout down below the...

if you're able to start and run it with no power to the valve, then it apparently has a manual bypass knob and someone has put it in bypass.... some engines have it, some don't ... however, when the knob is in the bypass position, the only safe way to shut the engine down is either with the...

Everyone has covered things well however I will point out a couple things you should NOT do with your truck , that is : 1: With any air pressure in the system, DON'T let the truck roll Backwards with tranny in Neutral nor any Forward gear 2: With any air pressure in the system , DON'T let...

Your M818 originally had each tank plumbed independently of each other .. The original selector valve on the floor is/was a 6-port which returns fuel to the same tank it's drawing from .. Yeah, the PO messed your truck up .. If yours still has the selector valve and lines going to it, yeah the...

thanks .. IIRC, most of the TM's on the old external harddrive I had forgotten about are from the SS library about 5 or 6 years ago, and other sources .. I'm all set just as long as i don't stuff the harddrive in a box and forget i have it !! :D

update: decided to replace the seals while in there and last night i remembered i have a bunch of pdf TM's on an old forgotten external hard drive for the other computer .. On it was a dash-20P that was 35 years newer than my bound version.. The newer TM clearly shows the new-style slotted...

I trust your judgement , thank you .. And I should listen to that pesky engineer on my right shoulder more often :sneaky: I hear it's been decent there in NC, ,, so my oldest son in Raleigh says and his mom in Charlotte .. After a false start into spring and then the considerable plowable...

Now to pester you with another question: Since the old vanes had brass pins and the new ones do not, is there supposed to be a spring or something underneath the new-style vanes to keep them tight against the outer casing? OR , does the initial centrifugal force and subsequent pressure being...
