As I am working on all the little things on my M1038 I noticed that on the valve cover it has an engine rebuild data plate.
I have looked high and low for what all the things mean.
One line is piston 30 and I assume that means that the cylinders were bored out and have 30 over piston and rings...
Working on tracking down some exhaust smoke issues.
When I start up I get a little white smoke, research on that seems to be un burnt fuel, maybe glow plugs, not too worried.
The one I am worried about is when I accelerate I get a good deal of smoke out. It is not really dark smoke but still...
Fixed. Seems that the turn signal lever was bad and to make the newer type of lever to work you have to remove the bulb and put in an LED one. Ahhhhhh thanks for everyone's help.
After checking the trailer plug I get 6v there also. Was dark last night so my mistake. I am really at a loss I guess I have to trace it all the way back to the turn signal switch
Only getting 6V at the light when I hit the brake(only on left side). Turn signal works fine. I changed the turn signal switch. Nothing. Jumped the brake switch. Nothing. Any ideas.
I am having an issue with my drivers side brake light. The right one works fine but the left one is very dim. I replaced the light switch to start. No luck. I tried 3 different LED tail lights. Same thing. Turn signal works fine. Hazard light works fine. Just the brake light. I tested the...
After a great deal of work it is finally done. 1985 Titled M1038.

The before and after speaks for itself...
I will start working on them all, best to email me, rtodd66@icloud.com
I am NOT selling there, I am helping people out as it is not an easy item to find.
I will post a picture Monday.
Just happy to help the cause.
If you are changing the axle seals on your 5 ton, one thing you will need is a 5" ish socket for the nut that goes up against the bearing.
Having a machine shop in the basement I made one for myself.
If anyone is in need of one or wants it for their tool collection contact me.
I am going to...
Swiss, this was a one on one as I am friends with our Senator. To sum it up, they know it pissed off many people but the decision to go on selling to the public will not be anything done in the short term.
I did pass on that the next step would be to talk about farmers or other groups that are...
Update, Currently there will be no decision on selling these to the public, the main goal was to allow Law and Fire fighters to get them. There is more than just the EPA, no sholder belt, no airbags and in many states the bumper and headlights are to high so I know in Delaware they will not...
