Open your master cylinder fill hatch. You can see the pto shaft then and tell if it is turning. Another simple diagnostic trick is to use a 3/4" wrench and remove the splined hub covers on the front hubs. Pull them both and see if the noise goes away. If it does, put one side on at a time...

Just leave it bare. That is how they came. Unless you are going to be doing parades, shows and such without any long runs or hard pulls. My OA331 manifold gets cherry red after a long hard pull. As in get out the hot dogs and roast them up to eat kind of hot. The one thing I would suggest...

How much do you want for the stock mount set up you don 't need anymore?

Think of it this way. The 6.2 was a ground up diesel engine from more than 30 years ago. It was made to fit where a small block gas engine would, bolt up to the same parts, get twice the mileage as a standard small block and about the same power. A 2 barrel 305 was the standard engine it was...

Welcome to the fun. You do realize the duece you are looking for will just be your first military vehicle, right? This hobby is very adictive.

Measure your tires. Ground to top of the tire. My stock 31 x10.50 tires were actaully 29 inches tall. My new BFG A/T tires which say 33 x 12.50 on them are actually 32 inches tall. That is a big difference in rpm at any speed. As pointed out, 33 tires will fit with little or no trimming on...

You can bend the fuse holder contacts out a little. That makes the fuses more secure in there.

Yes they will. At least I put brand new BFG AT 33 x 12.50 tires on my M1009 last month and have had no issues. Rides great on the road and does just about as good in the mud as my lockered XZL tired M715. Others have had issues with the tires rubbing the rear of the front passenger side...

I had mine on a Scout camp out over the weekend. Saturday morning my infrared thermometer said 18° on the ground. 15° on the steering wheel. The coldest I have been here in Texas in a long time. Half a second to maybe a full second of cranking after the WAIT light went out and it was...

Sorry to hear that. Good for you to find a buyer though. I like your new toy. Sounds good.

Looks good Tom. Will the Viper fit in the bed?

Stretch is the one that had a thread about it. Pretty much you just pull the J pipe off the rear vehicles airpack and plug in air from the drivers side glad hand of the front truck. It works great. Running a wire from the front truck trailer plug to the rear truck trailer plug and unscrewing...

The axle clamp just gives the tow bar the exact same pin hole to hook onto that it would with the bumper mounted shackle mounts. Same angle and size. That pin lets the tow bar go up and down. The pin that the feet attach to the tow bar with let the tow bar go side to side. The tow bar has...

I have used both to flat tow a M35. Use the military tow bar hooked to the miltary mounts. The system was designed to be used and abused by people who don't care what damage they do. Amazingly enough, using the miltary parts is very easy, simple and it works. I used the axle wraps once...

Both of my M1009's have 1" holes in them. I use the same feet for them as for the M35's. the M715 special adaptors also take the 1" pins and feet. Even though the M715 frame mounted shakles themselves are 3/4". The M37 and M151 are 3/4". I don't know what the HMWWV is.

To add an answer to todays question. A military medium tow bar with the 1" feet will fit right on the front shackle mounts. I hooked up to a M1009 a few weeks ago and it took longer to carry the stupid heavy tow bar out of the bed of the pull truck than it did to hook everything up.

Yep, M101A2. Same spare tire and lug nuts.

Starter- use a 12 volt unit and wire it up like any other Chevy starter. Alternator. Battery positive to the post on the back. Buy a new Delco alternator pig tail from any auto parts store. Red wire on the new plug back over to the 12 v positive post the other wire is already hooked to...

Yes you can change to a shorter belt. Yes, your pulley could have been changed. Something else to look for is a flattened out pulley. Look at the pulley with the belt off and make sure it isn't shiny down in the groove where the thin inside of the belt could have been making contact. If you...

Check the torque converter to flywheel bolts. They make a noise that sounds a lot like the starter hitting something. Mainly because they are either hitting the starter or flywheel cover as they work loose.
