    FMTV starter issues

    try DISCONNECTING the oil pressure sender at the block, from the wire, this will tell the anti start while running relay, that it is not running no matter if there is a stuck pressure sender or not, the oil pressure sending unit could be holding or sensing a bit of pressure when cold

    FMTV starter issues

    still sounds like a bad ground. though could be as simple as the cold causing condensation, in a relay, making it stick open (example the oil pressure switch relay that keeps you from trying to start the truck if it already running) the heat dries it out ,could also be getting a false (as has...

    FMTV starter issues

    does the starter solenoid click when first engaged, if so there is a good chance that the solenoid contract disks are BURNT, some times the disks stick because of crud and don't rotate thus making contract in one spot and causeing them to burn and no longer make contract or little contract and...

    Fuel shut off solenoid, upgrade or replacement?

    if will does not, the bepco part # is 6997324, 24v, any truck shop will have one, i got mine from napa, also install a spring on the manual fuel shut off, so in case you have to turn in ths over ride, you can still shut down the motor, just like a deuce (this was WWs idea)

    Gas station procedures

    i may of missed it, (at my age its easy to do) just where are you planing to fly to then drive back from, theres a good chance that there is a SS member close by, he would be happy to go over the truck with you, show you what you need to know and do. this would be a lot better then srarting out...

    Something to Move a Dozer with

    i would NEVER use a 4 wheel, steering axle trailer, unless as a LAST resort, going forward is simple, backing up with a deuce or 5t will bring words and thoughts that you didn't know existed

    5-ton loose steering, swims a bit on highway

    which model is this?

    the 246 is the same as the 819 except the earleir series, the only thing different is the engine, get it if it runs or not, there is at least $3500 in parts, there is a bunch of us that have m62s or 819s , all the AW stuff is the same except the boom
