Filter and housing were terrible. Makes me suspicious of the fuel tank. Filter is now new and housing was thoroughly cleaned. I got derailed and didn't get the check valves today. It's on the agenda tomorrow. I checked the lines and didn't see any kinks or crimps. Doesn't the fuel coming...

Thanks. Filter housing has already been removed and thoroughly cleaned. @Mogman , the water drain on the driver side puts out an appropriate steady stream of fuel when opened and running. Similar to what's pictured in the Army's video. Thing is, it runs OK at idle and while sitting still...

The M105 trailers are great. But you don't want one. The intended tow vehicle is an air braked M35A2 that weighs 14k empty. The M105 has air brakes and weighs almost 3k empty. I tow them behind civvy vehicles, but you really don't want to. The Jeep crowd drives up prices on the M101 trailers...

Check valves coming out this afternoon. I primed the new filter to the top of the filter housing where the fuel comes out to go towards the IP as I had doubts about the patency of the drain tube. It seemed fine while cranking. I'll be doing a more thorough assessment of that today as well. I...

Sudden onset?

New filter and water separator arrived today. It didn't fix it. For about 2 miles I thought it had. Test run started out great. Drove to the bridge. Turned around. Accelerated. Acted starved for fuel. Died. Started . Ran poorly. Drove 50 meters. Died. Repeated x3. Towed it home behind the...

LMTV bed. Looks like M1078.

I've got a couple of these. No idea what would be involved in making them work in a MEP. I've got a 3cyl 26hp Hatz that doesn't have a radiator, and got them for that.

So today a good time was had by all. I was unable to locate my CAT spin on conversion. That simplified choices somewhat. I loaded the toolbox, the towbar from hell and 3/4" feet, safety chain, and took janet's Gladiator and dragged the HMMWV to the driveway. It towed fine, like a...

@RGS20inophir !

My M998 is currently dead on the side of the road, 40 miles from home. This is the M998 that's been all over the country and never had a hiccup. I'm thinking the fuel filter is clogged. I don't know of a source of a replacement that I could get faster than late next week. (Any ideas?) I've...

Every 20 minute job is but one stripped bolt away from becoming a three day ordeal.

There's no need to change them out.

Anything 395 or smaller will fit.

Voltage regulator is my guess. Time to get out the fluke meter...

Various iterations of those boxes are readily available. They vary in input from 40 amps to 200 amps of 208v 3 phase. Output is usually 120v single phase and a pass through for the same 208v 3phase that goes in, so you can stick several of them together. Some of the larger ones only have...

Some have been found to be too tight. Some found with insufficient grease. I'd be tempted to back it off and inspect it for adequate grease.

Reverse in the MT654 is 10:1. Adding low range in the T case puts enough torque on it to split the case. I've seen it more than once. Absolutely don't do it unless you want to buy a t case.

Two separate issues. The first is that the 8.3 has a hard time starting from zero when loaded heavy. The second is the weak T Case. The weak t case is in all 939series trucks. It's just that the 8.3's weakness off the line is more likely to tempt you to use low range in reverse.

My opinion only, based on towing all kids of military trailers behind all kinds of civilian vehicles. The pintle riser flipped is still going to be far too low to get the trailer level. That's OK, because you're empty and tipping forward biases the weight to the tongue, where you want the...
