    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    I want to know how you get them off base. Not being able to drive them at all seem extreme. How do you load them? That would take a serious winch. The hydrolics don't work without starting it. I know I have seen rules posted but picking up had different rules. Just curious how it works. I guess...

    engine trans bolts

    The long bolt. I guess you cannot shake them loose going off road.

    engine trans bolts

    In the TM's it does not give bolt sizes. My truck is not with me and I need to replace the bold that hold the engine and transmission together. Does anyone know what size bolts are used? I also need to replace an engine mount bolt if someone knows that.

    Tech Manuals?

    When I click on tech manuals in the sticky it just opens a new window and the main page. I am not sure what is going on or if it is just this computer I am on. I am trying to remove the starter which is already a pain plus mine is covered in a thick oil so I can't feel around very good. If I...

    Diesel in the oil

    I will check the fuel pump first because it is easy. I have a hmmwv engine to put in but want to make sure I don't blow that one. I drive my truck almost every day so I need it to run.

    Diesel in the oil

    Diesel in the oil

    Ok now I am enjoying the a/c even though it is a cool 96 degrees outside. I had a minor mechanical problem the other day with some knocking under the hood and a smoke screen that would make James Bond look lame. When I drained the oil it was liquid. It smelled like diesel too. So the question...

    sensor clip

    Never mind I think oily junk got in the clip when the engine blew. Just pulls off and the clip on the outside is just to look at.

    sensor clip

    It is pushing 100 degrees out here and I only have MT phone so sorry guys that say search. I can't figure out how to unclip the wire from the sensor passenger side next to the firewall under the head. U must not be holding my tongue right or the blood sweat and oil mixture is making my hand...

    U Joint again?

    OK now I am really confused. The drive shaft spins so how can it be upside down?

    Dog from Ohio to Houston

    I need a puppy picked up near Springfield Ohio and brought down to me even within a few hours of Houston. I was going to go up there but if someone is coming this way let me know.

    U Joint again?

    I got it on. I will skip all the things I tried. But I was thinking about how I could spread it with the u-joint in so I would know How wide to go. I the caliper was so close I could not even read a number difference. So I got a pair of channel locks. Put the lower jaw that sticks out a little...

    U Joint again?

    Upside down? Do you mean the cap? I did not know anything could go upside down.

    U Joint again?

    Yes I checked the needle bearings. That was the first thing I thought was wrong. I tried heating the yoke and putting the cap on ice. But when there is no clip on either cap either one of them can slide in. I did notice one of the caps standing off and found two needle bearings had fallen but...

    U Joint again?

    What about a large bolt a few washers and two nuts. Put the nuts in the middle and expand?

    U Joint again?

    Thanks to every one I figured It out. I did some messing around and finally I unclipped the side I had clipped. The yoke slipped back and forth so I could clip either side but not both. So now I have to figure out what a drift is or grind one side. But grinding may make it unbalanced. Thanks for...

    U Joint again?

    I am using a big C clamp. But it is so tight the joint is not moving so I is not the opening. It is the clip to clip measurement. So it is either the U-joint is too long or the rubber needs to compress.

    U Joint again?

    it is so close I have to put the clip up to see if it will fit. A thinner clip would fit. I left the clamp on to see if it would move slowly. It is that close to fitting. I wonder if it is the rubber bushing thing?

    U Joint again?

    Last time I learned to use a butane torch to heat it up until the teflon or whatever squirts out. But now I have to replace the U joint by the trans. I got the old one out fine but now I can't get the new one in. I have part number 534G. But when I get it on the drive shaft it is real tight and...

    CUCV 2nd tank

    I want a second tank that has a pump to fill the tractor. Like the ones you see in the back of pick ups. But I would also like to use it on trips or for alternative fuels. But SVO and bio diesel have higher gel points. So I just want to keep them separate. I can get a tank made to go over the...
