    Fort Wayne, IN Air Show

    I know this is way late to get too many people interested, but here's a bit of a plug. We are having an airshow this weekend at the Air National Guard base here in Fort Wayne Indiana. If you live here in town, you already know this as we've had aerial smoke writing all over town and some crazy...

    Mechanical Booster Pump "making oil"

    Yip, this is the place...don't use their search feature because it's not up to date. I called them and they were extremely helpful. They did say that they MIGHT even be able to just sell the double lip oil seal, but most likely you're going to need the lock ring that comes in the kit as mine...

    Mechanical Booster Pump "making oil"

    And the new O-ring kit has arrived for the mechanical booster pump...bench checked good following the same procedures as above and tomorrow it will be installed! I do have a video of the "good" bench check, but of course no leaking fluid is the bottom line right?! My source for the seal kit...

    Mechanical Booster Pump "making oil"

    I actually picked up some oem nsn seals. The rotating gear wasn't scored so a pliable new seal should work great. I'll update when I get it and I can do a new bench check!

    Mechanical Booster Pump "making oil"

    Well...after some searching, I now have a new seal assembly in the mail. We'll see how well my pump does with some new seals...hopefully this fixes the leak!!

    Mechanical Booster Pump "making oil"

    After going through all of the possible areas on my multifuel M35A2 trying to figure out where the truck was leaking fuel into the crankcase, I finally figured it out. I had done the FDC bypass, replaced the 3 seals in the hydraulic head and shut down lever, didn't have the flame heater on the...

    Diesel in motor oil

    What would be the diagnostics in figuring out that one of your injectors is dumping fuel? I've too done the FDC bypass, replaced all 3 HH o-rings, don't have a flame heater and my truck starts immediately and runs PERFECTLY...it just makes about 10 gallons of oil after 500 miles!! oh, I also...

    850 mile - Mobile, Alabama to Ft Wayne, Indiana

    Well, as it turned out mack, I was kinda feeling the same way. I didn't have anyone down that way I knew that would be able to give me even a 75% roadworthy thumbs up, so I decided to ship. It sucks I didn't get to do the adventure part of it though but at least it'll be safer in the long run...

    850 mile - Mobile, Alabama to Ft Wayne, Indiana

    It's towman2277 truck. He's got a handful of pics on here..I'm restricted to using my cell phone right now so I can't attach pics. He's basically bobbed it, routed the exhaust underneath, moved the batteries and fuel tank to the bed and just replaced the brake cylinders. Unless someone that...

    850 mile - Mobile, Alabama to Ft Wayne, Indiana

    Well, I'm leaning towards this week...possibly even rolling down that way tomorrow. I have read all the recovery threads I've searched and it always seems something "new" breaks in every one! The truck I bought has all the filters tossed in as extra from fuel to air in a crate. And...

    850 mile - Mobile, Alabama to Ft Wayne, Indiana

    Trying to weigh out how much help/technical know how there is between Alabama and Indiana. The guy I bought my deuce and m105 trailer from decided that he won't ship the truck now so I'm considering driving it up to Indiana myself. Thinking on just staying on I65 the whole way. Do we have any...

    Newb from Ft Wayne Indiana

    Thanks all...it's one heck of a site you all contribute to here!! I've noticed finding "how to" information seems never ending. Quite a wealth of MV knowledge going on here. If I have any questions about our A10 Warthogs I'd probably get an answer here faster than calling our tech reps!!

    Newb from Ft Wayne Indiana

    Thanks for the welcome...19 years of service and 7 sandy deployments...you'd think I'd have driven a deuce by now huh?!! My job is to keep ordnance on our fighter A/C and make sure it drops within an inch of where the pilot wants it/ ground troops need it!! And it keeps me out of trouble!!:lol:

    Newb from Ft Wayne Indiana

    Hi all...I finally jumped into the MV scene after contemplating buying a deuce for many years. Seems like every time I came back home from the desert I'd have the MV itch for months thereafter. For quite a while I've wanted one but the practical side of me always talked me out of it...but not...
