New owner!

[Iceman3005]

Well I am a happy new owner of an M813, drove 200 miles to get it and then drove the M813 back 200 miles. Trip went off with out any issues! I forgot my earplugs, so I said screw it, I can make it with out them. Ya , about half way through I had enough, stopped and bought me some earplugs.

When we stopped we noticed a small fuel leak, popped the hood and saw the top of the injection pump was wet. started the truck and tried to find the leak but couldn't. It looks like one of the fittings on the top is leaking but couldn't tell. So I will have to figure that out. But other than that went great!

I am hoping it is getting about 10 miles per gallon, gauge was reading half a tank when we left. I topped it off and it took 20 gallons, when I got home gauge was reading in the same place as when we left. So hopefully it only takes about 20 gallons to top it off again.

Big thanks to swbradley1, it was nice to meet you.

Big thanks to warthog for putting up the TM's. Downloaded all of them. Now just to print! Here goes lots of paper, glad I have a laser printer. Ink is good for 5000 copies! I like them being on the computer, but I also like having a book in my hand!

Congrats on the acquisition and successful recovery! That’s a good looking truck!

Nice score. Got to take care of the tan tail light and mirrors.

Beautiful truck. I think the M813s are more rare than the M813A1s (with drop side bed), right?

 

[dmetalmiki]

That is SUCH a good looking truck. You must be well pleased. And a nice tow bar came with it as well?.

Steve sell his 813?

 

[Iceman3005]

Yes, Steve sold his truck. No he kept the tow bow.

Anytime you sell a truck you get a twinge of sadness when it drives away and yesterday was no different. It was my prettiest truck and has been my parade and show truck. She still has Haspin mud on her from the time I took it over there. That's they way I kept. My wife heard it start for the last time in the driveway and turned the TV up louder so she could hear it pull away.

I rattle canned that truck (all the runs and drips you might find are original military equipment) and put a few additions on it but I was most worried about it making it the 200 miles to its new home.

I'm glad you made it home safe and sound. Enjoy the "new" truck.

So if anyone has any ideas where these NHC's are known for leaking fuel let me know. The block, head, top of pump, filter, differential, and spring are all wet.

Is it sucking air? Revving up and down or hard to start?

Fires right up, idle is even, it seems to not have as much power when I left Dayton. When I push clutch in to stop, it almost dies then comes back to an idle.

It started leaking about half way home from Dayton.

If your line fittings are all dry then it is Going to be the orings on the fuel jumpers down between the valve covers from it being that high up
2nd thought would be the fuel shut off solenoid o ring under it.

If that engine as a depressurize under the front intake runner they are known to seep. That's a round vertical cylinder that the return line goes thru back to the pump and tank. Not all engines have them though.

Ya, I am leaning toward the fuel rail leaking, or fuel drain rail leaking, the head and block are wet from the front of engine all the way back to the injection pump. Just watched a video on youtube about the PT injection system, that was awesome and simple. Love it.

Ok, I see in the TM where the cross-over tubes are and the O-ring is located. So possible leak there, looks like an easy fix. I hope.
