    My First M1009 Daily Driver - VA

    Check the front axle u-joints out by the wheels. Popping from the transfer would be the chain and that is rare for these unless it has really been hammered on by the PO. Rick

    Chinese 6x6 Truck

    I was thinking the same thing about the frame but I didn't see much of anything in the video. Of coarse it is empty, I am sure there would be some bending if it were loaded. Rick

    My first army truck and it BIG

    The yard manager told the Mexicans in the yard to cut the boxes off of the M820s. They butchered the M810 too. That is what I based my statement on. I know an American or two that have been out of work for over a year so yes I am a little cranky. I have friends who lost their jobs to Mexicans...

    My first army truck and it BIG

    You going to crush all 20 5 tons ? I guess I just don't understand since I am not one of these people that has the capital to buy these things 10 at a time. I can't even afford one at today's prices . Rick

    My first army truck and it BIG

    I am sorry and I am sure I will get flamed but I have no time for someone who will destroy perfectly good trucks to begin with let alone rare one's. Wonder how many of those Mexicans are legal? I would be more than happy to pay scrap price to get a decent truck. Everybody wants a quick buck...

    MEP-002A/M116A2 Recovery

    I seriously doubt the pump would pull that far. It definitely would not be able to prime that much line and that much head.

    injection pump timing

    Timing changes on these are measured in thousandths! I advanced mine the width of the line and that was more than enough. Rick

    MEP-002A/M116A2 Recovery

    You will find that Xylene is fantastic for cutting gunk in the fuel system. Xylene, parts cleaning brush, nitrile gloves and a pan of some sort and start scrubbing. Rick P.S. Do the cleaning outside, Xylene is very flammable and not at all good to breath.

    This is true, I ran them on my boat for years before I went to the blower.

    My bad, Is it the 366 or 427? I used to get the spacers for 427 TD from Offy. I don't know if they are still in business but I might have my old Machinist books that give part numbers for the spacers. I will look around but I am n the middle of a renovation so stuff is boxed and scattered. Rick

    A Tunnel ram can be one four, two fours, three twos. Any combination on a tunnel ram manifold. This is actually not a tunnel ram per say, It is a single plane high rise but it is the same basic idea. The Dart engineer is being VERY optimistic! A lot depends on the cam. You are going to need a...

    The M1031 with 5" lift, 12-bolt H1's and no spacers build!

    All true, And if you use the same u-joints you had befoe the lift and they have any real miles you can also pick up a vibration. I would suggest that IF you are using the original u-joints and you get a vibration to put in new joints before anything else. Rick

    Battery charger warning

    I bought a top of the line 12 volt Schumacher and it has never worked right. Sometimes it charges, sometimes it goes into desulfate mode and then shuts down indicating a bad battery. Put my OLD Shumacher on the same battery and it charges fine and load tests fine. When it does charge normally...

    The jeep running water

    One of our members on the g838.org site does business over there and hooks up with these guys every time he goes over. They definitely like to party. They have quite a few 151's and they keep them in good shape. Rick
