    M818 won't run

    Is the little plate on plate of the fuel filter under the bolt that holds the filter together FLAT and IN the recess, if not it will NOT seal the o-ring, which means you WILL suck air.

    M816 Wrecker Won't Start

    The only thing you can do is drop the trans and take a look, should not take to long, I can do it by myself in about 3 hours, quicker if I do not let myself get side tracked. You DO NOT need to pull the stick, pto or the cover to drop it.

    Quantity of grease in front axle

    If you had a seal at the inboard end of the spindle, you would not need the boot at all if you had u-joint axles. There is the axle oil seal and the new spindle seal to keep dirt out of the spindle. My X xm977 had u-joint axles, it only had a axle seal and the back of the hub was sealed off with...

    Quantity of grease in front axle

    The -12 for both the 2 1/2 and 5t states remove both plugs, install grease fitting and fill till grease appears at other hole, there HAS to be a reason for this instruction in every -12 for all the 2 1/2 and 5ts other then just venting, if that was the case, only one plug would need to be...
