ACTUALLY fuel DOES go bad... Source Of Diesel Fuel Problems

I'd say don't drive it on crud! If at alll possible drain the crud out as soon as you can & put some fresh fuel in there. You might get away with limping it off the base with what is in there, but I wouldn't attempt to drive it all the way to ATL on crud or you will likely end up on the side...

WOW! Looks super nice!! I'm jealous.....

NICE!! Good to see that the old girl still has what it takes! Wanna come down to GA & move some soil around for me?? :-P -Bear-

you forgot, "...and call it George"! :-D C'mon! I can see an empty parking spot right there next to your XM211! It Looks SOOO LONELY! (Still hoping you'll buy it, fix it all up, then sell it to me next year!!) -Bear-

CT is closer to MI than GA is! Just think, you could have the beginnings of a FLEET of M215s & buy spare parts in bulk!! Besides, if it is shipped on a flatbed you are probably only gonna pay $1 to $2 per mile...... (OK, I confess. I'm actually HOPING you'll buy it, fix it up, decide you...

I hear you can use Muriatic Acid... Anybody ever use muriatic acid to etch a fuel tank? - Red Power Magazine Community Where to Start? Removing rust in a mc gas tank. - Caswell Inc. Metal Finishing Forums

MIGHT BE WORTH NOTING what series of motor (manuf, serial #, build date, etc.), and what type of damper, and what type of cam is involved in these failures!?! I'm not sure if the parts involved have any identifying numbers in them (or distinctive features/markings), but it WOULD be good to...

Is this thing STILL out there? I would have thought that SOMEONE would have snagged it by now!! (Maybe I need to drag MY trailer across the country & go get it!! Just so that I could say "I told you so!") :razz: -Bear-

:ditto: I agree! But I can sympathize with one's wanting to determine if damage has occurred BEFORE pulling the head off or the engine out. (I rebuilt a "bad" transmission once, only to discover later that all it needed was a new pilot bushing...) aua "DOH!" -Bear-

IF the valves are bent enuf that they aren't closing all the way then you'll get low compression. BUT since your cam isn't turning you are likely to get low compression in at least half of the cylinders, even ones w/o bent valves. & with the air pressure test suggested above it is worth noting...

Reminds me of an AMC Matador that I had back in college... (yeah, I know, "A Matador?!?" It was a $200.00 car to get me around for a couple of college years... Besides, it was good enough for Reed & Malloy!! (the Adam-12 guys...)) This was an AMC V-8 with over 250K miles on it and it simply...

Looks pretty nice! Everything works? (engine, high & low range of transmission, xfercase, brakes, dump, all electrical, all guages) Any Leaks? How are the tires? (hold arir, cracked, % worn) Any rust-thru anywhere? (1st spots to show are usually the front fenders where they meet the steps, the...

PICTURES??? Condition is everything.... Any parts missing? Does EVERYTHING work? Any Rust? with or w/o winch?

Yes, most states will tell you that you need to register vehicles in the state where they are garaged. BUT in my case I'm primarily interested in 1st getting a title. Once I have a title I can reg it anywhere & the MI title is still valid. (i.e. I can get a MI title & MI reg & MI plates 1st...

Not 100% sure. I haven't been able to do a 1st hand inspection yet. I'm relying on the seller's diagnosis at this point. (No reason for me to doubt him.) Right now I'm simply planning for the worst, & hoping for the best! I might take a few extra parts (wheel cylinder or rebuild kit, axle...

I'd say title it in a different state OR use a title service. GA doesn't issue titles for anything 1963 or older. SO I am forced to use my MI address to title any of my cars that fall into this category. Fortunately MI is very easy to deal with when getting titles for older cars! Do you have...

Hey guys I need your help... I'm picking up an M35A2 near Huntsville, AL (approx 15miles NE of town) in about 9 days. BUT, it has what appears to be a leaky wheel cylinder on the pass-side middle wheel. While I could just nurse it home by checking the brake fluid level frequently, I'd prefer...

Eric, Suggest you send a PM to MajorTom (or call him, see earlier post in this thread for #). He has a lot of experience w these old Dueces. OR perhaps you could call Alpha Heaven or Memphis Equipment to see if they have any ideas. Memphis used to rebuild these trannies (they don't...
