Headgaskets Hi Tbar123 Have you found anything out about your truck? Maybe you should take it to a shop and have them do a combustion test like stated before. My local mechanic I know very well has one of these tests that we have used on multiple vehicles. Monte Carlo's (Stupid 3.4l...) and...

Looks like our Heavenly Father needed another angel to come home. Sad to see such another great man pass. Prayers to his family. Rest in Peace Walt.

Amazing Work I just wanted to say you do some amazing and beautiful work!:-) It takes talent to do what you do and man I wish I had it! Ive spent a couple of hours reading through the whole thread. I might tackle with painting the inside of the cab and your pictures and information really did...

Petcocks. When I purchased mine and got it trucked back from Saint Louis to my place I went through and changed the fuel filter, oil, and oil filter. I filled the fuel filter bowl up with fresh diesel and primed it. The ol small cam Cummins fired right up after one crank, and took the oil...

I will look into that tomorrow, Thanks for pointing that out.

Parts have now been ordered, which include Gaskets, 1-6 Pistons and rods, Bearings and Liners $2700 bucks later... With these small cam cummins that were discontinued in the 60's it can be a hastle to buy parts, but we made it work. The reason we had to buy all new pistons for 1-6 was because we...

So after another month or so we have dug to the pistons..here comes the great news. We got all the pistons and liners of the block. There weren't any pinholes or anything wrong with the liners besides the rust (Pics Soon). So we diagnosed the problem as the o rings which are shot...Pistons 2-5...

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their advice they have given me..It's been a slow month but I believe I have figured out everything that is wrong with this beaut... I have gone through the entire fuel system and figured out that the petcock right before the canister was sucking in...

When I bought my truck I had mine shipped to me. I've been working on cleaning the fuel system on my truck as it had been sitting for three+ years. I drained 80 gallons of diesel, replaced the filter, Cleaned the Injectors (Since I did run my truck with the bad diesel) Then Pressure Washed the...

Did you see it?

Haha yeah I did and mine is sitting outside the base...

Well ****, I guess that does mean I should just have it towed then. Still tempting to by to keep around the yard :grin: anyway thanks again I believe I'll just have my truck towed. Who knows if he's selling the m816 for a good price I may keep it a while and sell it. Is there a good market for...

Yeah that's true I never thought of insurance quite yet. I was just wondering if anyone has attempted anything like this. Idk if I will do this but I'm gonna have to visit this m816 before I make my decision. Thanks for your input!

Hi, I have the oppurtunity to buy an m816 wrecker. I have wanted a wrecker for quite some time but never really seen any in my budget range. Until today I got a call from a friend says he knows someone with an m816. I have an m923 that I own in Missouri that I need to get towed back to my home...

Yessir she did. She tried to say it quietly to the master sergant but I overheard it. She said she bid on all of them and only 3 sold

Haha Yeah I don't really want to waste all that fuel thats $300 bucks where I am!

Hopefully! I plan on buying a couple more and hopefully one from Sparta. Ever Truck I've seen (Through GL's Website) looked really good and well taken care of. Maybe some day I can own a couple but for now I need to get the one I have running smoothly and make sure nothing is hurting on the...
