There's debate about failing glow plugs causing decreased fuel economy as well, I don't think it would be as substantial as 3mpg seeing as they're only supposed to kick on upon startup and something like 3 minutes into cold idle, but maybe. Check the wheel bearings as well, and "goofy" stuff...

Oh man...... It wasn't out of a 9C1 Caprice was it? I tried to use park to stop once, for about 10sec, before hitting my brother's truck and actually stopping.....

Personally, for a thousand mile haul, I'd use a flatbed trailer. That's a lot of miles to be paranoid that a t case might somehow accidentally engage, or have the trans slip into gear, or whatever else Murphy can throw at you. If that wasn't an option, I'd follow the procedure in the TM, even if...

That's what happens when "Adapt or die" and "If it looks stupid, but it works, then it's not stupid" have a love child. I dig it

One of these setups will change your life, that's a Dayton 3ton chain fall and 3 16ft 4X6s holding 1100lbs of full dressed mercruiser 5.7. After pulling 3 engines with this setup, I'll never go back to cherry picking again.

Nothing worse than legal scalping. How hard would it be to form an organization to give them some competition?

I want to say yes, because without a proper seal, air will be allowed in, but the other guys know a lot more than me. FWIW, copper washers are cheap and it definitely won't hurt to have a good one installed.

Sometimes it's the little things..... 😆

Would a new/stiffer steering stabilizer shock help the problem?

Page 15 of this thread has a reply from rusty that says around 800psi, checked by gauge. Glad you asked, I was curious too.

17: high beam 18: low beam and dimmer switch 27: Oil pressure gauge, connector 654, Fwd lock switch (if equipped), high beam indicator light, low air warning, ignition switch 74: 654 rear harness connector 74A: start switch, fuel pressure switch, 74R: magnetic starter relay Hope it helps

I think you're reading them incorrectly, which happens to all of us lol. There aren't ones in front of your numbers, so what you're looking for are 17, 27, 18 and 74, which I have located on the diagram and am currently trying to condense the image to aid. Couple minutes and you should be set

That's an anti-theft device, like noted. Disconnect the ground, no power to system, harder to steal. Flip the switch, full power. I love mine.

Apparently the contract has been awarded to Oshkosh Defense and the new vehicles should have started rolling out in June. Shame they don't auction the LLVs off, be a fun BBC project or big turbo 2.2. I would suggest contacting your local post office and see if maybe they can slip one out the...

Google says post offices scrap them instead of re-selling them.....:(.

These guys beat me to it 😆. The wiring harnesses are sort of generic, in that there's many different M44 variants that use the same harness, so some wires literally DO go to nothing. Those CAD blueprints are your best shot for getting it right. Something worth checking into would be a keyed...

Would there be a way to tell if your truck was a gun truck (other than the obvious enclosure) that was repurposed down the line? I have some "interesting" scarring on my hard top that looks like someone welded a patch in, and more on the bed that looks like someone attempted to turn the hard...

Me to me when the video started: "That snow doesn't look that deep..... How'd they get a grader stuck in it?" Me to me after the turnaround watching the rear axle sink: " Oh 😮" Great stuff!

Merry Christmas everyone! May we all be warm, full and loved!
