I don't know what they're for either BUT on all of my MTVRs they're diked off and don't have any affect on the operation of the truck.

I quote it daily.. though it appears it's a repeating problem for MTVRs. I'm not complaining.. keep divesting good trucks with easy problems for me. rofl

Howdy Chief, I may be able to give you some direction as I just revived THREE MTVRs that were slated for divestment as non-runners all for fuel related issues. Definitely sounds like you have a fuel issue. If able, pressurize the fuel tank with 7 psi of air and crack the bleeder on the fuel...

Late to the party but chain hoist. No joke. Put it through the yoke eyelets and wrap it around the other axle. Pull it tight then one firm yank and it will come free (assuming you've removed the nut holding it in place already). I learned this from an old trucker and have been successful for the...

Hmm.. M1081A1.. with a C7 engine? The "Christmas lighting" sounds like the weird power issue that the later A1R trucks have that people commonly call the "disco lights".

Anyone can do it. Ask for "inside sales". The real issue is do they want to deal with you or do their metrics show they make more $$$ sending it to auction.

Check the following: All 3 soft fuel lines for cracks Visually check for wetness on fuel filter and fuel/water separator Remove separator bowl and inspect plastic bowl for cracks, fatigue, etc as well as condition of o-ring If able, prime the fuel system with no more than 5 psi of air and...

You have to have a sales tax exemption form on file otherwise they will hit you with tax to cover their end in case you don't file for title and thus skip paying tax.

Depends on what they need it for. It may be for resale back to the government so they could have made bank.

Those trucks have set a looooong time even though the red X's look relatively fresh. Expect them not to run and be a project before they (if they) ever see the road. Time is the enemy here and lack of fluids didn't help the situation.

They added those upgrades in 07'. Of all the A1R models it seems the 05' ("buyback" A0 upgraded to A1R trucks) are the roughest and WTEC-III, 06' they got the basics down, and 07'+ they standardized all the upgrades. I'm sure the cut of dates between production batches very too.

I was LITERALLY looking at my sway bar links today and had tires delivered to my doorstep for my CUCVII Type B. :jumpin: Thanks for the sway bar p/n.

How did the test drive go? There's a lot of good info in this thread and none of it should scare you. They're machines like anything else with an engine but way cooler of course! Drive a few, ask questions, and enjoy the hobby. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you're wanting a second...

Yes, I painted a deuce once that was a full inside and out job. The heat didn't affect it as much as fluid seepage which got under the paint. With the fan constantly blowing and the block surface hot it eventually peeled. Nature of the beast.

I don't want to spoof my chances of landing another yet.. but it does show: Limited Function Check (DLA Engine) The engine could not be started. Also there was no video to attempt to crank or start it. The one minor gripe I have is I won two trucks same day, location, event, and and...

Joined the 7 ton club and got my first one in this week. Super clean "non-runner" that needed batteries and fuel to start. :rolleyes: It was missing the center instrument cluster but would have started and ran without it. Serpentine belt was for an A/C equipped truck and needs the turret cover...

THE definition of "ran when parked" rofl

Exhaust manifold on my 6v53 decided to reduce backpressure while in use. Technically it still works but I get a little dizzy when driving. Probably just need more coffee. rofl

Revived this rare M930A2 dump. Formerly a TFS (Texas Forestry Service) truck and was last used in 2018. Typical no start, doesn't move, etc which were all remedied and is a fine specimen now. It's neat how they used 12" iron as bed extensions. It looks good!

This sums it all up with MME. If you're looking for OEM spec rebuilt ones then @CallMeColt is your guy. I supply him with take offs and he goes through them. Heck, he rebuilds other FMTV components for me too with excellent results.
