hello. Just curious as to how you made out. They do require bushings I know, were you able to install new bushings while on the truck or did you have to remove the leaf springs and have new ones pressed in. My front and rear ones require some attention. I think that’s where my high speed...

After finally getting the chance to mess with it this afternoon. I checked the timing and that checked out ok. So last thing I could do was swap fuel injection pumps between the known good running generator and the not so good one and there it was. “Bad” one ran great with the different pump...

Here’s the video of the hoist installed and a few last pointers. Also towards the end is a quick clip of what they sound like with a straight pipe. Hope this helps some guys.

Here’s a video of it running showing how it runs and what I mean by manipulating the throttle. Can also take note of the hertz gauge pegged and the volts not changing either. Perhaps it’s running rough because something with the generator is wrong cause it to be under load.

When I say “manipulating the throttle” it’s by holding the lever when pressing the off tab so it can’t shut off completely then by hand, slowing the engine or speeding it up. I will check the oil so much if they are different than my “good” generator. I can see that the injection pump had...

I believe I have. I removed the air cooling cover and moved the flywheel to the correct timing mark to assure both valves were closed and I was able to fit a .006” gauge under them. Not a .010 so assuming that will be close enough? I will be away for a couple days but will try again when I...

I have tried the spark arrestor and removed it that made no Difference. I took off the injection pump and that plunger seems to be free and working correctly. The ball on the throtttle control is in between the two arms so that’s correct. I’ve removed injector and could see a nice mist out of...

Im Not sure the rating of the other scissor hoists that we have but we’ve used pumps similar to this one that have powered them and they dump 5 or 6 tons of product no problem. I figured with the actual capacity of the axles on this truck that 8 tons would suffice for what I intend to do with...

Here is the first video of the installation before I put the rack on. Can see what I did a little better will try getting the other video up this morning

Hello everyone. I have been a long time fanatic for military stuff since I first drove our 1952 GMC army truck on the farm. Since then we have 12 M35a2s and last year purchased an M1078 to make my all around work truck. I had visions of putting a hoist on it. A generator for the odd places...

I haven’t gotten chance to troubleshoot the engine anymore but I do notice the injection pump Had been removed being the nuts have the paint off of them as well as appears to be a new shim Installed. Do you by chance know where I could source shims if I find I need them? Thanks

Thanks for the response. I have cracked the line on the injector to assure all air has been removed from the line. I have also swapped injectors between the two generator sets and the response was same with both injectors. It emits intermittent puffs of black and/or blue smoke with a knocking...

Recently purchased two 531’s. One had fuel lines removed. Replaced the lines. Fresh fuel and oil. Few cranks and runs great. second one did the same maintenance schedule to. Does not run so well. Will start and run but when manipulating throttle anything over half throttle it dies out...

You know I have a truck that when using the starter it almost wears the batteries to nothing before it starts but for some reason when you give it a tug it pops right off. Have a way to give you a pullstart try that? Don’t ask me why it does it. I thought plugged air cleaner/intake but took...

I know there is a good amount of pressure behind the center bolt on the HH. I’ve had one leak fuel out from it and it sprays pretty good. How many PSI I’m not sure. I’m just surprised you’d have to use ether to get it going shouldn’t have to. Have you cracked one of the injector lines? Did...

Did it start and seem to run fine before you went through and cleaned everything? I only ask because I recently replaced a cracked hydraulic head on one of my deuces and did not realize i had not installed the "button" on the bottom of the head and it would not start. Removed it again, installed...

Just wondering how loud it is without the muffler I plan on removing the muffler from mine just would like to hear how it sounds before I do so. Thanks

Good afternoon. Wasn’t sure where to post this but figured I’d try here. I recently purchased a set of MRAP wheels/tires to rob the rubber off of for my M1078 and came to the conclusion that my standard length Chevy 2500 bed isn’t going to cut it so going to tow my trailer down to get them...

I’m not one to question everyone else’s ideas. And I’m a big believer in religious filter changing. But I have an MEP002a. A couple actually. And I have deleted all the filters on mine. I changed the hoses and have one single NAPA 3033 from the fuel pump to the injection pump. I change...

Thank you for the response. I understand from many how well the factory system has worked after repair/maintenance/upkeep. And I’m sure it does. Being my truck is older and from what I’ve encountered so far has been a period of rest. I know I’ll have issues to fix. Im a farmer and I...
