Tom, what happened is that when they put the block heater in, there is now air trapped in the motor. The temp sensor is on the top of the head so that is where the air settles during idle thus giving you a false coolant reading. You need to bleed the air out. Start the truck up and let it run...

RE: Tires Congrats on the new ride! Looks good!

Great story and pics! What an adventure. Recovery trips are always a good time. And what's a good time without a roadside repair or two?? Thanks for sharing.

Pappa-G, I thought you were banned from this site..... :shock: :twisted: :twisted:

RE: man! the nerve! 12 FT. 12 SEP 06 LOL. At least they're still assembled in the US! :)

Thanks Mark. The boxes are getting pitched. They were already damp in places, and rust starting to form on a couple things.

The rest of the contents... The manual says an M818 should include a machinists hammer and a grease gun as well. I did not have those items.

I unsealed the tool box on my M818 today and inventoried the contents. For anyone that's looking to complete their tractors accesories, here is what you need......

Congrats and welcome fellow Michigander! Nice looking truck. That wire in the back looks like it's connected to a grounding rod and just setting on the bumper.

You sure have a great looking tractor Dave. You've done a lot of work to it, and it shows! She's a beaut!

Great recovery story, Andy! They sure do have a lot of nice trucks at Stout Field. You will enjoy yours! Here is what the pump looks like in my 818 from Stout.

Very nice Chris!!! Looks great behind the tractor. Hard to tell from the pic but it looks as if the lunette were flipped 180 deg's, the 105 would set perfectly level. I was wondering about that since the tire sizes are different. Seeing as how there's not much trunck space on a tractor, I'm...

I would attend. Early to mid May would be a great time to have it.

Great looking rig! My vote is for the vietnam era 24087 Gillespie paint. Also available in rattle cans for quick touch-ups.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: 5 ton v.s. duece True. After spending time behind the wheel of both 2.5T's and 5T's, the 5T M818 tractor has an almost 'sporty' feel to it compared to the M35. It weighs in at just under 20K, but the 5T actually feels easier to drive. The cummins has lots of low end grunt...

The paint fix looks good Tyler. Canvak might not take to the canvas very well once it's painted though. But then again, the paint will act as a water repellant. Bare canvas treated with a healthy dose of canvak may keep any future 'taggings' from soaking in to the material.

The latter.

Hey guys, what's the going rate for a complete, NOS injector pump for a multifuel engine, LDT465? Thanks

Very nice. I like the new body style. Now for a convoy beacon on top and a jerry can mount on the rear... :)
