    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    If an injector is stuck, the fuel the pump puts out is shunted to return, it. Pull the return from the engine and see if there is juice there when cranking. If no fuel out the return, the pump has an issue, or, there is a giant restriction before the pump. The M106 I did recently had a plugged...

    NHC250 Air compressor replacement

    Fuel lines can be an issue if going the twin cylinder compressor, the pump is pushed back an inch or so and the bottom support is different due to the pump being back farther. Navistar used the Bendix Truflow for a long time, so, if you went that way, and could find a corn binder in a junk yard...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    Maybe it is 60 PSI. Too much rolling around in my head. If no pressure, there will be a slight amt of smoke just because it is trying to lite with the fuel in the system. Before you go ripping into the engine, do the simple things first. If it was sitting for a long time and there was any water...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    Or the fuel pump died. Get a pressure gauge, 1/4 NTP and put it in one of the empty ports on the pressure filter, You should have 160 or so PSI cranking. If no pressure, possibly a stuck pressurizing valve in the pump. It is only a gear pump, so not much to go wrong in there. There is a drive...

    Over heating

    Just an FYI, Don't run without a stat. These have a bypass and cooling loop. That's why there is a seal around the stat. Running without a stat will let the coolant take the path of least resistance, thru the block loop and not thru the radiator, resulting in an overheat condition. You should...

    The Museum has an MB that looks good, it is a mix master, has odd things installed in the wrong places, etc., but in solid shape. It is one that goes out for display at Veterans events and other places. It runs and drives nicely. Craig noticed that the steering was getting hard just before the...

    After making it run, it was time to figure out the brakes. Moved it from the far bay to my tool box, under it's own power! Popped the MC top off, it was wet, but no fluid in it, hmmm, maybe just dry? Decided to try and do a fill and bleed. I was able to bleed the hydrovac with no issues, but...

    Gotta check the S/N to see what it is. This truck has been around. The paperwork shows lots of paint and brake work. This was a back up truck for M.A.S.H. back in the 70s-80s, I think it has screen time. It was pulled from the display area last summer to give it a make over by volunteers, summer...
