Stumps is right on. Gotta replace squirter, seal, find out where spring came from and fix that. I suspect ring too. If you don't, you are playing Russian roulette for sure.

The big problem then - very slight now - was most of the power transformers had PCB oil. It was discovered that even flushing and refilling a PCB transformer several times did not clear it. When at temperature in service, PCB oil would seep from windings and laminations and in time, heavily...

This is a long shot - is it possible he disconnected the headlights and is using the circuit to power the plow lights?

I agree, Wildchild - 2200 or if someone has deep pockets - do what we did pre computer with race cars - run it harder until something breaks, make that part stronger, repeat. Typical bottom end order - subject to variation by engine design- rod bolts, rod caps, main caps, main bolts...

Run over in a Deuce? ROFL

I suspect a gas shock for rear of a car would do it - long travel, double acting so should only need one. If they are gas charged, I believe they work in any position.

General, I believe it would have kept going until there was no oil left and pressure dropped. Honestly - I think you could get the rod out of the way, put a plate over the hole in block add oil and drive it quite some distance if you keep RPM's below 1800. I expect you will find the rod bolts...

The impeller is definitely shot. The housing looks (picture can be deceiving) like well over 100 thousandths worn away. This causes internal slip, allowing coolant to flow back - cuts efficiency and coolant volume to engine. There may be enough flow to keep engine cool - maybe not. Under hard...

If you turn it up too much, then when you run it longer, you will boil the electrolyte. That considerably shortens life of batteries, and sprays fine acid mist in vicinity. If they are working properly, the generators have sufficient capacity to quickly charge batteries. Charging voltage is 13.8...

Please keep us posted. I find your project VERY interesting. Best of luck

I agree, Inflation, Inflation - critical. However, now we may be talking about 20+ year old tires. Tires were new for Desert storm, so you saw maintainance issues. Age and especially sitting on one spot causes deterioration. Tires have a lot of oil in them! It evaporates and settles over time...

I have been there with civy truck. I would repeat test with wheels OFF. If still vibrates, then you know there are other issues - that is what I found. It was driveshaft! Then I would try with just wheels and check runout and vibration. If ok, they you know it is a tire issue, and I would...

That's a real NICE 5 ton.[thumbzup] If I remember right, Cummins diesel with Allison AUTOMATIC? ? No stick shift. I prefer a stick until I hit heavy traffic, after a while of stop and go, my left leg shows it's age.:whistle: Tires - search the threads. Other members have had tire issues, and...

Any ideas how to "unbend" or replace? or??? If you would like a long and happy life, suggest replacing all damaged steering and suspension parts. Straightening bent parts is inviting failure when under stress at a critical time.:-)

Hope it is a m151A2. I do not like the m151. It had swing axles like the original Corvair, and tended to roll. In fact, I thought the military was going to cut them up for scrap, and not sell them. The A2 is a great machine.

I am member of my town recreation department and emergency services member. We have equipment trailers to tow to various locations to set up stages, sound equipment, etc for events, and emergency services equipment to deploy in an emergency. It is an issue to reserve town vehicles, get keys and...

I would check fluids and put a BIG battery on it, try and start it - see what happens. Engine may be ok.

Yeah - I really enjoy whistler turbos. Make me feel young. If you want, you can make major improvements at low cost. Insulation - there was a thread on that last week - easy install - I have done it on other vehicles. The person who posted picked the right stuff - won't absorb water. He gives...

I like. How much weight do you think you took off her? Suggest changing to dual circuit brakes - you may thank me in the future.

Be carefull what you buy. There have been multiple failures of tires and valve stems made in China. Too many to list - use Google. Here is a list of tires still made in USA. It was published by the UAW. Made in America Tires .social{ margin-top:5px; padding:2px; float:left;}.text_line...
