    Hmmwv beadlocks on m1008

    I see you also got a soft topper for your blazer! Nice. I removed the stitching from the "softtopper.com" labels on my yellow M1009's soft topper. For the price, I am not giving away free advertising!

    MEP002a no start

    The gelling is easy to test, run the pump prime and listen for fuel returning back to the tank. I have never had much luck starting a diesel with WD40. However, ether has never failed me.

    MEP002a no start

    You can always try a shot of ether...WITHOUT preheating the glow plugs of course!

    MEP002a no start

    Are the glow plugs heating the chambers? It is easy to tell by touch on the MEP gensets. Also be sure to preheat the chambers long enough. Are you getting white smoke when cranking, if so you know there is fuel hitting the injectors.

    Need tm's for my truck

    Did you ever find an electronic copy? My M1031 came with a hard copy of the -23P. It is slightly water damaged and missing the first two pages, but looks complete otherwise.

    Late Model USAF Contract M35A2C Spotters Guide

    Don't go by this alone. I have a 1971 M35A2C with a brake light in the dash...it is a warning light when the emergency brake is on. Look under the truck. It is very clear when there are two air packs. If the guy doesn't know what to look for, have him send you some photos.

    Just won a M1010

    By the way, I know the photo you are referring to with the large red seat in the back of the M1010. That was definitely a unit modification! It looks like all your missing is the passenger side hanging litter, but those stretchers make up for that!

    Just won a M1010

    Mark I just found some of what you may be looking for in the -10 TM. Check appendix B and C. It would be nice to find a copy of the "9-2320-289-10-HR" which will give a better breakdown.

    Vacuum thing on IP in the way...

    Loosen the two bolts holding it to the IP and it will rotate in place. Toward the cab to soften and toward the grille for later shifting.

    MEP-003A center of gravity

    I couldn't find the infomation your looking for in the TM. Here are some photos of one on a M116A2. The trailer is easier to move by hand with the genset installed vs. empty.

    Vacuum thing on IP in the way...

    No, you need vacuum and you want that regulator working. The modulator just gives you another point of control. The vac line leaves the regulator ( item you rotated ) and goes into the modulator which is mounted in the hole on the side of your transmission. However, as I pointed out - you may...

    Vacuum thing on IP in the way...

    Almost any auto part store. All the replacement modulators I have bought have been adjustable, although I use the regulator ( the item which is in your way ) to adjust my shift points so I leave the modulators alone. If you rotate the regulator as far forward as possible, you will end up with...

    Vacuum thing on IP in the way...

    The vacuum regulator controls shift points based on RPM. It is not a kickdown switch. You can loosen the two bolts holding it and rotate it. This may give you some clearance but will affect your shift points. If you adjust for clearance and notice hard shifting after wards, you can add an...
