    m1078 list of mods

    Followed the procedure for the cat 3116 to set valves, adjust injectors and advance them.

Building the hitch this week

    After selling my bobbed m923a2 and getting bored, I got lucky on a m1078 out of ft drum. Said it was driven on the lot but was dead due to the cold (-40f).
