I loved your eyes dude! Although I LOVE to work on things, I am hoping I do not have to climb in and out, up and down in THAT vehicle for a bit. It wore me out. The thrill for me is to bring things back to life/running order, using my pea brain instead of the BS troubleshooting that Cummins made...

A restricted return can cause idle to creep,but, usually it will not go down. Most likely has throttle leakage too low. Does the engine have a block warmer? If so, plug it in and see if the idle does the same thing if it is warm.

Tried to grt thr FB link vid downloaded to my puter, but I aint so smarrrt. Sorry. Silverstate, there are markings on it, USMC 51505 on both sides of the hull, front and rear, have A15 on the left and 21442 on the right. Any info would be great!

578 and M62/548 are at the Museum, 578 just needs a look over, it runs and ASFIK, works, never excersized the crane, cables look good. M62 is stuck, tried moving it to get the M60 out, but there are brake issues, this one needs a re spool. Both will not walk the pack, they need to pull and...

Umm, leme see if I can find a way to get it from FB

Cummins actually offers a 30 cfm unit, ST676 Holset compressor. When installed, the engine will need different fuel lines from the pump to the heads and return lines as well as the coolant plumbing and discharge plumbing, that goes from 1/2 inch to a #16 hose, any smaller and it restricts the...

Here is a link to a FB page from one of the volunteers pages, https://www.facebook.com/daniel.enriquez.921/videos/1357465891056762/?__tn__=%2Cd-b-R&eid=ARBTVRgWRVhOqrsGa05gfDy4sGZRf_vvJHS45T1GL977iwDRJI7YaXY7ChxBuEJ__HFapGN9_u6Nu35X

Update, We ground fired it, started right up after 25 + years of non op. Throttle linkage was frozen, got that freed up and it idled good and throttled up great on the ground. Pack is in, had a friend of the museum come over to help center the lifting bar, it is military, has holes marked pack...

Ask Artisan how sustained 2700 RPM works. What his did is textbook for how it was being run.

FSOV not pulling in/in all the way, failed overflow valve, air in the system, giant restriction, not turning fast enough, fsov wiring not up to par, idle too low.....

BCIII better lube system too

Never heard it explained like that! rofl

I gotta pack for the trip, maybe a quick turn around run tomorrow?

Jake brakes open exhaust valves.

And you can add brakes to an auto trans equipped truck too. you just need a switch in a lock up port.

What, is that a giant sling shot? That will hurl a beer or two!

I know the business end has "RESERVE THIS" stenciled on it. It is pretty crusty, so, it probably was at Pendleton. I will look next week or tomorrow if I go down there. AFAK, no insg on it, was carced in 89

Here is how the power gets out to the tracks. Out the trans thru the wing bearings and this coupler sends it to the final drives. It really isn't that big, the wing bearings are though!

No,M578 and M543, but had to use another truck to remove it. The 578 will most likely put it back in. I need to look at things on that. And, the line that pulled out is fire suppression for the valley of the engine.

No, too heavy to retract outriggers and move it, so, it and the tank are centered in the inside lane and roped off. It will be a chore to re install with a fixed boom, so we are looking for a rotator OR get the wrecker running, re spool and use that. I'll find out more tomorrow. I have a few...
