Today it was mild and semi dry outside. I went out and had a goa; to discover what wheels would fit in place of the HMMWV 37" run flats. I don't need them big heavy wheels and tires. I used my hi lift jack. That made it easy. I tried a 1987 16"Ford F350 wheel I had. It fits but is not hub...

I had Western plows on CUCV trucks. I never had to remove a front sway bar. I still have the plow mount from Big Red M1008. Oh, the Horror. All good things must come to an end.

Is the power steering pump still turning in the correct direction?

Paint the housing with Bright Aluminum spray paint and replace the lenses. Good as new.

My Son had them on his Mad Cow Disease M1028A1. He used that truck had and I don't recall any issues with them.

Solved the master cylinder cap issue. Titan Model 6 Replacement Master Cylinder Cap (kodiaktrailerbrakes.com) I have one on order. Now I am working on the marker lamp bezels/housings. Part number for the light brackets is 12338709 and they are readily available at many places. Some are very...

Fuel pump is easy to diagnose as you know. I don't know how to walk you thru that with the filter you have but if you open the bleeder and crank it over it will pulsate fuel out under pressure. Are you sure you have operational glow plugs? I see you changed out the 13 G glow plugs. But i would...

The more I looked at the damage the more I am reminded of how lifting equipment in the wrong hands can be considered as destruction equipment. They were able to the forks into places I never even thought was possible. And i moved many things with a forklift without damaging the items I was...

Hey, I found the TM that tells me everything about the trailer. 074424.pdf (ltw.net) I was out working on it and made great headway. I think I will NOT be needing a master cylinder and I found the damper in the pintle drawbar like new as expected. I would like to know if I could buy a plastic...

I need some help with the brake system. The plastic cap is broken, and the rain did get into the master cylinder. The DOT 5 fluid was still in the plugger area. I heated the reservoir and used my shop vacuum to suck the fluid out. The fluid at the output line was clean. I removed the master...

I was surprised to see what the generator trailer cost the government. Like I mentioned in my first post. I don't think the safety hooks were ever used. This trailer has zero or low miles on it. I stripped all the brackets and mounts off the frame. I don't need any of that as extra weight. this...

Today was the day I went to pick up the trailer. It was balmy 11* when I left home and it jumped to 12* by10 AM. I picked out a 2009 model. Honestly from looking at the safety chain hooks I don't think it was ever attached to a vehicle. I was happy that it had all LED lamps on it. I will...

I don't care how fast it starts the starter will not grind. When hot I just tap the switch momentarily and they start when everything is according to Hoyle as designed and fully operational as designed. Adding hacked up relays and different glow plugs does NOT equate to starter grindage. I know...

The temperature sending unit for the engine is on the driver side front head. Are you sure you don't have a glow plug wire attached to it? They are both green and I have seen it before. Double check.

I probably have a rear pickup harness in my stash of parts. How far away from Fort Indiantown Gap are you? I am in Jonestown exit 90 of I 81. Good Luck. Give me shout back.

My experience has been when you hook a trailer to anything the mileage suffers severely. And a CUCV truck variant I experienced low fuel mileage with highway speed greater then 55MPH. I never drove a truck for fuel mileage. I used every one of my CUCV's hard and serviced them harder. The M1028...

This post reminds me of Lostforever when I was building my Decade wrecked M1009. Just saying. I suspect catfishing. Be cautious and safe. I am suspect of this post. Take Care.

You are not going to gain anything. These 6.2 are gutless when towing. Even when these trucks were new, we had townships at the GM dealership I worked at return the trucks and complain that they could not use the K30 cab chassis with a dump body loaded and pull a trailer to and from job sites...

I have no idea of what the RPM is. I never thought about it. It was revving and I heard katydids at top speed. But after several thousand miles I never took notice anymore. And I heard others drive them that fast also. My Sons both had them for years and beat them like stolen horses and they...
