yep been running mine for 14 months now and all is good, ive had no probs with the 816 and it sounds brilliant. I reckon it gives a good 40 hp with the original "tweaked" pt pump. the engine runs cooler when under load working hard as well. the engine also seems to start better after being left...

jim, check your pm,s martin

heater assembly is missing from drivers side under hood and you can the blanking plate from where the pipe carrying the hot air entered bulkhead..If its a ex airforce truck it certainly aint 1958 with a dropside, i had an ex air force with dropside and these are much later models made by AM...

? please does anyone where or what MZ-AD-TARP is? in relation to overhaul or rebuild locations. thanks martin

There are many ways of piping it up but for me i found running the intake to the rear bulkhead meant the hood was fine without altering it . that was with 3 1/2 inch piping and worked great JWALLER yours has probably done the most miles since fitment and be interesting to know how yours is...

When i fitted a turbo on mine a year ago i spoke to cummins uk and they also said the later block 250,s had piston cooler nozzles but my block is 1984 and as far as i can see mine doesnt?but that is based on the fact that if it does then the block should be cast with 6 raised horseshoe shaped...

On my 816 it has various overhaul data plates( winchs, crane etc). the overhaul center? is descibed as OVERHAULED AT " MZ - AD- TARP.?. 1985 does anyone know where/what this place is and what country its in. Is it a army rebuild center or outside contractors etc but mainly in which country or...

this is wrong.The sprag will operate in reverse and as soon as you pull back into neutral and then consequently any forward gear it then changes back again= its not a forward or 1st gear thats selects it ,its the neutral position, hence if you sit in neutral and stationary your sprag is engaged...

Sorry forot to say one important thing is if you drive a vehicle on thses exemptions in UK it must not be for business use/ hire or reward and trucks used unladen etc.thats the theory anyway??. martin

here in the uk vehicles registered approx 1972 and olde are classed as "historic" and so are exempt/road tax free.Insurance per year is approx £60/£70 fully comprehensive.Large goods vehicles can be driven on car liscense if registered pre 1960.And again large goods vehicles registered pre...

redscot thats good you got lucky because many years ago i bought a " U S ARMY" recon? gearbox and new/exchange clutch kit from them. The gearbox looked great with shiny bolts and red oxide paint but leaked oil like nothing else and it turned out the rear output flange was corroded and pitted...

roders, ?are these your trucks or will you be selling them under the "marltrax" heading or does "marltrax" not exist any more?.They are lovely looking trucks and would be great to rally. You obviously have the contacts/experience and knowledge in sourcing these trucks and the UK is lacking in a...

thanks for all the replies, great to see pics old and new of covered wreckers.. certainly would make a change to see out and about on the rally scene. ? ........Rod they are smart looking trucks.

? why does the wrecker bed have fitments for the canvas/rear tilt upright stakes? was a rear canvas ever fitted to a wrecker bed and if so does any one have any pics?. would be interested to know. many thanks martin

just a couple more pics of the 816 and my farmall super md( i know its not military)

fitted my turbo back last march on the 816. Not done as many miles as Jwallers but makes the 816 a pleasure to drive now and lets the cummins really hang on when working and as a bonus sounds awesome.
