What type of PS fluid in the 800 series? Mercon 3 or type F? Thanks, Rick

Jeff-you and others are why I still feel like a rookie. I have talked to guys over the years that have bought, sold, collected, and scraped for years and years. The days of the DRMO on-site auctions where you knew who you were bidding against and got some real bargins. There are guys out...

I think I'm still a rookie. November 1999 was my first from Mechanicsburg DRMO. The good times when you bought from the USA.

I just tried to get onto Windsor Township's website and it appears to be down. Do you think they have gotten a lot of response over this?

Just viewed the on air live broadcast a few minutes ago; I looked for a link on the station's website but it's not posted yet. I'm sure that HOA is wishing they would have been patriotic and told that whiner to go pound sand. If the courts determine it's a recreational vehicle I'll be the...

I just watched a news segment on WHTM 27 (ABC) about a gentleman in York County, PA who recently bought a Deuce and and lives in a development. He had ONE complaint filed against him from a neighbor about his truck being parked at his house. The municipality cited him for having a...

Somewhere I have a manual on just the pumps. In it are the settings for the various multifuel pumps. If memory serves me correct the -1C turbo engine had the lowest fuel delivery setting. I think most of all adjustable settings in the pump were different; even timing. I'm at work, but I'll...

Daniel, PM me with the number you want and I will contact you; I may have what you are looking for. Rick

I need to order a cab cover from GMA for my M810. I was on their website but could not find if their covers are the insulated ones. Anyone here get one from them and know? I'd like the insulated one as I use my truck in the winter. Thanks, Rick

Years ago I went to the midwest to haul home an antique farm tractor. Borrowed two axle trailer near/above it's rated capacity. About 1/4 the way home stopped to check everything and we had lost a trailer bearing cap. My then father-in-law (a trucker all his life) went in to the truckstop and...

So, does anyone know how the old LDS-465-1A turbos with the wastegate compare to the C and D's? My LDS-465-1A has a new D turbo on it and smokes quite a bit (black; original pump settings). If the old style turbo gives more boost/cfm I'll switch to that as I have a new rebuilt one laying on...

Mackfire, where in Enola are you located? I work on the Medic unit for the past 20 years but can't place where that picture was taken. I may have to come out and "inspect" that truck. Nice truck.

OK, I'' be different. Why not a 7.3 powerstroke? Small, light, and with a mild chip good power. Hook it to a 6 speed .70 overdrive from one of the new "big pickups" or even a modified E4OD (.69 OD) and you would have speed, power, and the ability to get parts at any Ford dealership. Pull...

I had the same problem this past fall only I already had a deuce that was proven as a good truck with good brakes. I had a M810 at Chambersburg to bring home that did not run. I finally bit the bullit and hired someone to haul it home with a detachable deck trailer behind a 500 horse Pete...

When I bought my M810 the guys at the lot from GL tried to start it for me w/o luck. I got it hauled home and worked quite awhile w/o luck. It turned out that the cable fuel shutoff had been pulled and then pushed in. Turns out you need to manually reset the shutoff at the pump. My zero...

Can anyone identify these numbers: right side 98 CR 37 81TSD. Left side: RO 58. Thanks, Rick

Does anyone know how to identify whether an axle has the lockers in them by the numbers on the axle ID plate? My truck was bought by the govt as a M810 and then the water distributor was installed later. It only has the M810 plate on it. Thanks, Rick

I would think that if you are seeing 180-200 on the water temp your oil temp is ok, as the oil is water cooled. Oil temp in proportional to water temp in the multifuel. You overheat one or the other, and the other's temp will rise accordingly. Engine oil contributes a huge amount towards...

I dropped the pump off at the injection service place this morning. I've had work done by them in the past and value their opinion very highly. The service manager stated that the pump I had was a newer model pump (updated as he put it) and was a better pump than the original one. He seemed...

M810 update Wednesday removed the pump; tore it down on the bench with the TM at my side. It's been rebuilt and appears to be the model for a 900 series NHC250. Found no gunk, corrosion, or dirt. Put it back together and reinstalled. Now it idles at 800rpm and only increases to 1000 rpm at...
