New higher-flow air filters should definitely help.

And he likes to say how he can’t understand half of what Profo (Marty) says! 🤣

Yeah I’ve got a Michelin 16.00x20 you can have if you pick it up, in Cedar City UT. I should be home around Nov 1st/2nd, and nothing planned through Nov/Dec.

I-10 will beat you & your vehicles to death across New Mexico. If you drive across I-84 through Oregon & Idaho down into Utah, I’ve driven it this year through snow storms (going to OR & WA for work contracts) and not only are the roads very very good but the snow removal is excellent. I...

Group buy?

As long as it’s Low-Ash Detergent-type, Should be fine.

ABS does, in fact, increase stopping distances. The early attempts in the 1970s were fraught with problems, but once these were ironed out and became standard across the board by the 1990s it worked well. The whole purpose of Anti-Lock Brakes (NOT “Automatic Braking System” as some believe) is...

United States of Freight, a site sponsor here. My experiences have all been positive & they’ll make a sincere effort to help you out.

For priming the fuel system, I’ve used compressed air in the past but prefer using an inexpensive 12V inline fuel pump instead, plumbed between fuel tank & primary filter. As soon as you hear fuel being returned to the tank you can remove the pump and reconnect the fuel fittings, or like I did...

I have them but I am working out of state for who knows how long.... It’s cheaper and easier to just buy them & have them on hand when you need them. The part I’ve had the hardest time finding was the Governor Gap gauge (.200 wedge), had to pay $$$ for a Bosch unit as the KM was just not...

The attached Operator’s Guide should help; it specifies an appropriate ethylene-glycol based coolant; I would stay with a low-silicate GREEN coolant, as the newer orange or pink coolants may have adverse effects on cooling system components in older motors. There is a Supplemental Cooling...

Awesome! Good job!!

I assume you didn’t buy your truck brand-new from the manufacturer, so it is 30-35 years old already. Even if it was supposedly “rebuilt” by a government contractor, many items that don’t appear to be needing replacement will be left on the chassis during the “rebuild.” There are numerous...

Find your nearest Parker shop that specializes in hydraulic hoses....they will have the upgraded fuel-rated lines Tracer mentioned, and you won’t be sorry. Better than anything you can mail-order from Summit.

In Desert Shield/Desert Storm, the deep sands quickly bogged all wheeled vehicles except for the LVS (it was able to snake its way through the deep sands). Our M60A1s and tracked engineer vehicles spent hours towing wheeled vehicles of all types out of the deep sands, especially on beaches...

I feel like a part of my past was erased...this breaks my heart. USMC M60A1 (RISE-Passive)

A long-term solution might mean going out of your way, but will be worth it if you plan on keeping your truck for many years. Since it’s a gas engine, I recommend not using any more ethanol-tainted fuel...it’s not meant for older vehicles as you can see and it causes many more problems than...

Just wanted to give a solid THUMBS-UP to Nick at United States of Freight....I highly recommend using USF to move military vehicles and equipment, because if you’re using a broker service like uShip, you’re doing it wrong! Nick is fantastic to deal with and handles every little detail for you...

That should work quite nicely, can’t wait to see build pics!
