I'm having an issue with my normally rock solid MEP-002A...I just finished flushing out the entire fuel system to include cleaning out the fuel tank, cleaning pumps, and changing all the filters. I also changed the oil. Fuel system quickly primed and the generator started and ran without issue...

About two weeks ago I was driving my M52A2 down the highway, discovering that I had lost my power steering. Upon getting the truck home, I pulled the power steering pump (Vickers VTM27/42 on a LDS-465-1A multifuel) and disassembled to find the main shaft broken. I was able to locate a new...

Due to a leak in my radiator, I had to pull it for repair (it also needs to be flushed in a bad way). While pulling it, I notice that the engine appeared to be slightly twisted (driver side down, more in the back) along with my belts screaming to be replaced. I've looked at all the engine...

It was a cold day today in Kansas and finally got to try my fuel fired heater and Kats 1500 heater in my M52A2 - both are worth their weight in gold! What a difference in comfort from the coolant heater I've been using for years. I've had several fuel fired kits for years and for some reason...

Just completed first test drive of my M52A2 after major repairs; basically from the frame up. The project was started to repair the major rusted items like the fenders which were almost gone but quickly turned into going through the entire truck. Since I sold my trailers, I decided to remove...

How did the defroster hoses attach up under the dash of the M52A2 so I can effectively defrost my windows in the winter? I had the cab off the truck last summer (totally stripped) repairing numerous rust holes but never thought to investigate this at the time. Now its assembled (purring like a...

I'm hoping someone can help with my brake issues...aua. I have a 1970 AMG M52A2 which I've spent the last 1.5 years repairing and setting up to be a daily driver. Prior to starting the project which is almost complete, the brakes worked perfect. After getting the wiring harnesses replaced (I...

I'm so glad my son and I changed the internal transmission filter today. I was hesitant at first with only 26,000 miles on the truck but decided what the heck, $220.00 dollars is cheaper than a new/rebuild tranny. Though the filter wasn't plugged, the fluid was very dark but it didn't smell...

I've been working to get everything in my M915A1 working correctly so I can use it to take my CDL driving test (plus I like all of my military vehicles to have everything working). I'm down to the low air pressure buzzer not working - ordered off ebay today for $9.00 shipped. The only fluid I...

Is there anyone in the Kansas City/Topeka area that sells used tires? Specifically I need 22.5 R11 drive tires and 1100x20s for my M871.

What is the correct idle speed for the M-915A1? Mine is set at 500rpm and idles rough. At this rpm, it is also slow to accelerate. Any information would be appreciated. Brian

I have an oil leak on the inner bolt of the turbo oil return tube. Initially I though it was simply a bad gasket, so I replaced the gasket - the problem persisted. Thinking that I possibly damaged the new gasket while installing it, I replaced the gasket again (when I took off return tube, the...

Picked 4ea 1 1/2 ton trailers today at FT. Riley. The old girl performed flawlessly during the 300 mile round trip, though 52mph took awhile!

Can the M871 trailer be towed with the M52A2 tractor?

Please forgive me if this is a dumb question but I have very little experience with diesel engines (I've owned an Reo M35 gasser for 17 years) - I recently changed the oil in my M52A2 and took the truck on a short drive. Upon returning, I checked the oil to ensure the level was correct and it...

Just purchased a M52A2 from Motorpoolmedic (his name is Mike) and wanted everyone to know what a pleasure he is to deal with. Mike and I talked several times on the phone about what I was looking for and it was ready to go when I arrived. I drove it home (300+ miles) the same day without issue...
