    The next Project an ASMH

    After all of that, I decided to see if the slip assembly would come out. Keep in mind, I do have the TM for the wrecker body and did skim through it, mostly looking at the pictures, just because it's a visual thing, who needs to read, right? Figured I would start with the top plate, there are...

    The next Project an ASMH

    @BLK HMMWV , I had it sitting on the bench out the front door and walked right past it! Next week. Although, I did make a bit of progress on the tough part, the slip ring. After realizing that I forgot the sucker pump, and after psyching myself up to get on top of the pig in the cold and...

    diesel in crankcase

    It's been a hot minute, but as far as I remember, there is no drain, plug, device, what so ever on the air compressor of any compressor, on a Cummins anywho. Yes, you will disturb the injector adjustment when you remove the screw. IMHO, I would leave that to someone experienced. From my end...

    diesel in crankcase

    No actuators, purely mechanical. No purging of the fuel system, it is a positive displacement system and will fire after a bit of cranking. No compressor case to drain, it is all gravity feed back to the front cover and down into the sump. No need to remove the rockers, simply remove the...

    diesel in crankcase

    You won't be able to see anything. The hold downs cover them up pretty good, Only way to check them is to pull them, then you are just gonna replace them anyway and look for cracks between the injector bore and the hold down bolts. Just do the pump first, give it an oil change and see what...

    diesel in crankcase

    No, nothing to hold, time, etc. The F/P is direct driven from the cam gear through the compressor. No sealant on the gasket when assembling. The oil there is direct return to the sump. Silicone can make it's way back into the pan and get sucked up onto the pick up. Just use a dab of grease to...

    diesel in crankcase

    No hammers or vice grips. 3/8 wrench, 1/2 inch line wrench, 1/2 inch open end, 1 inch wrench, maybe a 7/8 for back up on the inlet fitting, 5/8 wrench, 5/8 half moon wrench, pliers for the tach drive....might be a 1 inch depending on the cable....7/16 open/box, 9/16 wrench and MAYBE a 7/16 half...

    Gasser help

    I didn't think of fuel pressure, only because when I first lit the 6602, the F/p was leaking and I rebuilt it with a kit from Then And Now. The pump, IIRC is a six piston unit, so it flows a boatload, but I am unsure of the pressure since it ran OK, with no leaks , after the pump rebuild, with...

    Adding in-tank fuel pump to M818

    Absolutely no reason for it. The pump has a 1-3/4 inch positive displacement pump on board. It is capable of sucking a column of fuel ten feet vertically before it needs help from a transfer tank. It makes no more power and is a potential failure point. EDIT, 1 and 3/4 inch gear pump, sorry...

    Gasser help

    @DAM7106 , The holleys are troublesome, that being said, the one on the M62 is, so far, working OK however, the truck has not been put in service yet, but I did pop for a Zenith to swap it over when and if the holley starts acting up. Get with DrEvilPorkchop, he might still have some left over...

    diesel in crankcase

    They are the same. NHC250. The pumps can look a bit different, depending on the pump body used, but the calibrations are the same, even up into the 900 series with the NHC. They are bolt on.

    The next Project an ASMH

    Yup and I have square drive sockets. I was gonna find a 12pt impact and see if I can get up in the frame to try and loosen with an impact. We need a big drain bucket!

    The next Project an ASMH

    Yeah, we had a rental handicap accessible commode before covid, but turned it in after 20 or so years, but LACO says that the handicapped room of rest needs to be located inside the building that is being visited. The "buildings" are dual entry office trailers that, IIRC, came out of the Navy...

    The next Project an ASMH

    Hopefully, there will not be too much happening up in the tunnel. The TM shows the upper manifold coming off, the lower coming off with the hoses attached to the lower manifold. Here's some begging. I have recently taken on admin duties for the Museum website and added a PayPal donation...

    Thank you VERY much, however, there are 3 of those in the bed of the wrecker and a few more around the compound. Are you in need of a heavy tow bar? I know where there are a few of those too! Again, thank you, but we will pass.
