There’s a guy on YouTube from Alabama who could not get his M1008 to start. Tried everything. Finally he poured some transmission fluid down each intake opening. No clue on amounts. Then using a shop rag soaked in gasoline, laid the rag flat over the intake. Cranked a few times and it...

Good! Thank you for the info. I didn’t want anyone getting a pricey DOT ticket.

If you plan to tow it on public roads at all, you might check with your states DOT. A lot of new rule changes have come out about fuel tank transport. Just FYI

It costs them nothing to let them sit and rot. It’s a shame. I know of several departments doing the exact same thing. 5 tons and LMTVs too

A simple search will tell you everything you need to know. It’s been covered multiple times.

Post what you want in the vehicles wanted Forum. More eyes on it there.

No It’s identical to the stock filter base, with the exception of the fuel pressure port is completely removed. Same priming procedure applies. I prefill my fuel filter and then install it. Small pie pan underneath catches any spilled fuel. No more pulling IP wire and cranking motor to...

Same finish as the truck I would think. Black is original of course, but I’ve seen 5 tons with green wheels and they looked good too. When I had my two 5 tons, they were all original with black wheels. Exception was my M925A2 spare tire had a brand new green wheel.

I bought the Stanadyne improved filter base version that does away with the fuel pressure port entirely. The original setup takes a few extra minutes to change filters, but it doesn’t take up the space that a spin-on filter setup does.

Will look even better when the wheels are all the same color.

Love seeing retired military equipment getting a new life. I saw dozens of these trailers at Red River Army Depot just rotting away, waiting for scrapper death. It was very sad.

Would you post the part number for future reference?

I don’t remember. Call them and read off some of the numbers on the label to them. That should do it. I would measure it but I’m two states away from it at the moment.

The stop leak is also murder on heater cores. You'll be lucky if it’s not clogged with the stop leak.

X2 on what AntennaClimber said. Bought mine at same place. The thing I like most about the rubber rope is the speed and ease of it. I hated untying and retrying the regular rope just to grab or place something inside. Now it takes maybe 30 seconds, if that, to get inside and same amount of...

Recommend you install a gauge. The 6.2L does not do well if it gets really hot. Was the water pump replaced on the current engine? All belts tight? As mentioned, fan clutch worn? The water pump and fan clutch should be replaced at same time. Too much antifreeze (not enough water added to...

Use whatever knot that will work. The trailer TM doesn’t mention (unless I missed it) which knot to use, just to simply secure the cover. I installed rubber rope on mine. Same stuff used on the M939 5 ton tarps. No more tying rope. Holds nice and tight down the road.

I think everyone most likely just uses whatever works for them. Myself I just use what I already have on hand, which varies on brand, size, type and construction. Amazing what you can accumulate over the years. If I were starting from scratch, they would all match. Could get expensive...

Looks good. Just never load anything in it. Looks like there’s almost zero room for wheel travel.
