Well i pulled the intank fuel pump out and it wasnt really cogged or anything on the screens. so i pluged it in and turned the master swith on and the pump started buzzing however when i did a closer inspection nothing was turning. isnt there something you should be able to see turning inside...
i turn the master battery switch on and i hear the intank fuel pump buzzing, however when i crack the fiter by the frame (the first filter you come to) just a few dribbles come out. and then i closed that one cracked the final and nothing comes out. and i just changed all the filters about a...
Ok, i just went and cracked the final fuel filter, and im getting plenty of fuel there. so i shut it, and cranked her over but still nothing. and the stack looks clean, no smoke so it must not be getting any fuel. but why would it run just fine when i started it on ether?:?:
Ya the more i think about it thats what i think, cause when i pulled the flame heater unit out, it drained the return line i belive (the plastic line that runs on top of the injectors that "T"'s in to the flame heater). but it filled back up when i started it on ether. now you said crack the...
hello again guys, i dont really know what my problem is so im asking you guys. here is what i did yesturday. i was tinkering around with my flame heater when i broke it off, so i took it out and left the other half threaded into the intake manifold to plug the hole until i could get a...
Hi guys, does anyone know where i can get a new flame heater nozzle? my old one has a crack where it threads into the intake manifold. iv looked around but cant find any information on it.
Thanks

Welcome to the MV world, i too am really new to this whole hobby. i now own a 1968 kaiser-jeep m54a2. so far i have just changed all the oil and filter, fuel and oil both. and put the exhaust up where it should be. i got all my filters from eriksmiltarysurplus, how ever there is a guy on here...
Hey guys i have another question....:oops: i replaced all my filters today(fuel/oil) and did an oil change, everything went great, until i got in fired her up and got her up to operating temp. i was going to take it on an easy cruise until i tried the brakes and the pedal went clear to the floor...

Hey everybody. im just wondering who i should go through to get my filter kit for a LDS465-1a, i just got the truck and it needs a filter change bad. now iv been to OD-iron, and ME, and TNJ-murrys, and see that they all have filters there. i like the filter kit that ME has on there web site. so...
Hey thanks westfolk, ya i said fluid because i wasnt sure if it is power steering fliud or if you can use straight motor oil, in this case 15W-40 motor oil. but thank you for the schooling. i did end up using rotella 15W-40. and it seems to be working just fine. now i just need to find the leak...
Hey, i just had the same issue today. i didt know what fluid to use, so i started looking around. i ended up just using 15W-40 motor oil, the same thing i use in my engine. i have an M54a2, with a LDS 465-1a. it seems to be doing just fine. however im still looking for my leak..:cry: sure is fun...
Ok guys, i looked over some of the previous threads about power steering fluids. im still confused. i have a 5-ton m54a2 that needs steering fluid real bad. what do i use? and while im kinda on the subject, is it ok to use 15w-40 engine oil when i change oil, it has an LDS 465-1a in it.
Thanks...
No... i get what your saying, i do need to get the exhaust cage,and bots and clamps. we do have a prett good diesel repair shop here that i think i can get the clamps from. if not.. then i guess its back to the drawing board, and some more looking around on the internet.
Thanks though for...
Hey guys, im wondering if anybody know where i might be able to find an exhaust pipe from the turbo back for my M54. it has an LDS 465-1a in it the turbo is a schwitzer (thats what it says on the turbo). what happend was the owner before me ran the exhaust down under/between the frame on the...
Ya... i think im just going to have mine rebuilt. the hard part is finding diagrams and TM to do the job. but ya, i think it might be easier, and a little cheaper to rebuild mine.
Thank you though for your reply. :-D
