Hello Skull
looking good!! I do have a question though; Where did you get your brake chambers? The reason I ask is I have not see the type that has the removable clamp on the spring brake side with no little safety brackets for a long time!!! Please take note there is a big spring on the back...
Well I have owned this truck a while now but had not started a thread till now of my build and how I have come along. I have been working on my modifications and will get all caught up to speed as I go along. Here are a few pictures to start off with
I started off with a nice looking truck to...
If you had some sort of pump you could open the oil gallery and hook in your pump and psi the system up with fresh oil. That would get oil to all the parts that need it. You can bar the engine over while the pump has the psi up. I wouldn't run the pump to long of a time though. You can do the...
I am not an expert but for my 2 cents. The on highway vehicles are going to have more air going across the condenser because of speeds of the vehicles down the highway and these military and off road need the aux fans to move the air across the condenser because they are slower for what ever...
That looks like a fun ride!! If you can I would grease the u-joints at least before you head out. I also would check the fluid level in the transmission I have found that they are over full on the couple I have picked up.
GOOD LUCK
I had a hard time on my M931 getting it in as well. I have yet to do the other side but the way i was able to get one in was with a ribbon feeler blade ( used for adjusting valve rockers) and smaller screw drivers. Kinda work the window down while working the weather strip over the window...
Hello Skull.
How is your project coming along? Mine is kind of stale mated I am work on another project while the grass is green ( doing some welding; building a lean 2 to park waiting projects in) LOL
You might take the sensor out that is in the front left side of the pump and make sure there is fuel in the pump. If not use some clean fuel and pour in there till full. When i would change a fuel pump on one like these I would fill it with clean fuel for easier starting. On most of the...
These engines were used for every day hauling over the road they did not have the max GVW as they do now but they did there job reliably. Yes with out a turbo it would haul van shelter you would not want to be in a hurry but it will do fine. I have not hauled anything with mine yet I am still in...
It sounds like what they call wet stacking it is cause by not fully burning the fuel from the injectors. The knock could also be the tip washed out of the injector where it is wet stacking if running the over head does not take care of the knock. If no problems with the parts and your engine...
A buddy and I made the trip Friday to do some parts picking; We found some good parts for good price. I had a fun pulling parts, seeing all the trucks and had a good chat as well.
Thanks
I have an M931 insured through State Farm Here in Kansas they ran it as commercial INS no problem. There was a little trouble with the VIN but if I remember they ran it as a serial number instead of a VIN . It may take a bit of time dealing with your local Gov but it can be done.
