    Gear Lash and Driveline Vibrations - It wasn't the drivelines

    Question. If any one remembers my front drive shaft was out of phase buy three splines. Yea moron who took it apart did not mark it some how. I could have rotated one way or the other to get it back into phase. If a drive shaft is balanced when assembled and in phase if you then remove slip...

    M10A International Harvester Rough Terrain Forklift

    If the system that is all lines and cylinders holds 31 Gal. and reservoir holds 14 Gal. that seems up to 45 Gal. total? No way the whole system only holds 15 Gal. Nice score no matter what. Could the front forks be changed out to a bucket.

    pros and cons to owning an LMTV vs a M35a3

    Bobbing with out putting lockers in front and rear is ok if the truck will be used to get groceries. I learned my lesson on that one and yes it still would be a bad machine off road but a tandem will get you through more with the correct tires for the terrain.

    Cat 3116 max altitude questions

    I googled it and learned somethings. I would say since it is a mechanical injection system it will inject the same amount of fuel at any altitude. Problem less oxygen so to me yes egt's would be high and power way down. Wonder if a pyrometer installed would help you keep and eye on exhaust...

    M37 Fuel pump, original or electric?

    Yes send John your core and you will get one back. I do not drive in the rain as mine is just a show queen now so I just put on a carter mechanical fuel pump and let the wipers be decorations.

    Rebuilding the Injection pump

    As per some you can check the booster with just the in tank pump and it's low pressure if the seal is real bad. TM tells us we need to push 60 psi through it to check for a failing seal with it removed from the IP. Unused to me is old rubber and still might be your cause. As for you asking about...

    Rebuilding the Injection pump

    Was the booster pump rebuilt with a new seal when you installed the Injection pump?

    FMTV wiring schematic

    There was a top secret space mission. The only two on board would be the commander and a monkey. The commander did not know why the mission needed a monkey on board but knew space command had a plan. When the commander and monkey were being loaded into the space craft the commander was handed a...

    FMTV wiring schematic

    OK was the last monkey to climb out of the tree but yea see it now. Find the circuit on one page and look for the number that I need to go too. So to complete circuit 105 had to go from #47 to #139 or vise versa.

    FMTV wiring schematic

    Has anyone been able to construct the whole down load or seen a complete one page schematic. I was never good at gig saw puzzles and my ADHD is not helping. I down loaded and printed then tried to assemble. I can get the main trunk ground line run out but the rest I am having trouble fitting...

    Interesting driveline testing on LMTV by the Army

    Yep thanks. I found it and looks like it needs a longer bolt to go all the way through the threaded bracket. Then put a Nylock nut on the end.

    Interesting driveline testing on LMTV by the Army

    Thanks for the info. Did we have a thread showing the bolt in a pic that was the problem with Compressor/ PS pump bracket to engine. I will look at the truck and should be self-explanatory. Also I will look at the Alternator and see about making a bracket but was wondering if anyone is making...

    M35A2 Fuel Related Issues

    No have not played with my Deuce or it's fuel system in quite a while is it in a TM? I would still think it would be better to push what ever is blocking the booster back the way it came not through it some how.

    Cat 3116 LMTV - Synthetic Oil

    I just happened to google it as I too have a 3116. Come to find out the marine Cat 3116 PCV system runs it back through the engine as you can not have oil or oil film discharged into the bilge. I just went with Rotella 15/40 this time and will read more.

    M35A2 Fuel Related Issues

    I can not explain why fuel will go around the gear pump but it will. That is why we can with the engine off and just the in tank pump running test for pressure or bleed air after the booster on the bleed screw. So yes I believe it will back flow. The tm says it starts to open at 60 psi but as...
