I'm waiting to find out if my offer on a Air Force 1 ton cube van 1993, with a 6.2 liter engine is accepted.
Can someone please tell me the best manuals to get?
It has been suggested I get all the HMMWV TMs, especially TM 9-2320-289-20P .
I'm interested in two things at this point:
1. If the vehicle hasn't been started in a while, it will be towed on a full-sized trailer, then slowly PM'd the RIGHT way. All fluids replaced, all filters replaced and new battery. I'd like to double-check what I do with a manual. What are the best ones to get, civilian and/or military for this engine?
2. What are the particular dangers/mistakes I must avoid before starting this engine? I believe it hasn't been started for three months. Don't know when the last time the oil was chnaged, am taking no chances.
I have 30 years experience with diesels, but never GM diesels: Caterpillar DDAD, Mercedes, even VW but never GM.
With some models, I know: following the manual makes all the difference between destruction and use.
Your suggestions appreciated, hope to return the favor when the time comes by making a sticky on things to do for basic maintenance, with pics.
Thanks!
