    My M818 recovery MCLB Barstow (AKA the surface of the sun)

    Tires looked new or newly installed, the spare is unused and still has the mold threads stick out of the top of the tread. The wheel lugs and a lot of bolts on the truck looked new (still had a shine). Looking at the truck it almost seemed like it went to some auto school were the students go...

    My M818 recovery MCLB Barstow (AKA the surface of the sun)

    Well I recieved my PIF invoice and arranged for a tuesday pickup. Since the wife doesn't share my love of "junk" I left her at home and went alone, because of this and the legal and logistical issues I hired a local trucking company to haul it from Barstow. I got to Barstow at 10:00 am and...

    radiator not hot to touch

    I don't know the layout of the engine but a service manual (probably in the resource library) should tell you a few things. I'm guessing the temperature sensor is attached to the engine block and not the radiator, I would think 180-190 would be a good operating temp. I don't know how much...

    radiator not hot to touch

    If I read your post right, it sounds like the thermostat is bad. Thermostat in = Cold radiator (no flow) Thermostat out = Warm radiator (continuous circulation) That is where my knowledge stops…I don’t know how a 5 ton thermostat looks but there must be a spring? If so drop the unit in a...

    Springtime Scrapyarding in Fontana
