Go to jail,been waiting for that. Waste oil burner is strictly for waste. They do not self adjust,flash points are different to say the least. If you want to put it in a boiler that is another set of issues. Can not run the same cycle as #2 burner, will have a soot problem along with...

Huh, Well, I went throught 4 mechanical lift pumps then gave up and went electric. Can't beat electric pumps for cold starts. 6-8 PSI will keep them happy. I run a Garber spin on from the local plumbing supply Co. and can now install gauges. Piece-o-cake to prime. Put 85K on the truck with...

Lift pump

Styer, hmm.. that make sense. They made the Pizgauer if I remember correctly. Reminds me of the Volvo T-Ride (Not the C-303), pinzy was similar. Think they ran Meritors as well. Haven't considered a LMTV seriously till the past year. Free time is a commodity. Slippery slope because you see...

S&S is an equipment manufacturer.? Nothing for the civilian market, these were the only trucks they made. Wonder who got the contract to stamp out the cabs? C.O.E. are popular overseas but i wonder who got the contract to stamp them out. Thinking Ford CF cabover or Tatra? Got to be something...

It is a slippery slope when looking at a M1078 and the 6x6 can be had for about the same investment.

Thanks for the info.

Do shoes, springs, brake cans, seals cross to civilian? The HEUI voltage is concerning. 24v could make it a unicorn at the Cat dealer.

Got a M1031 for my service truck for the past 5 yrs ,loyal to say the least. Before that was a Doka Unimog so time to try a LMTV? Is there a reliable parts source? I.E. shoes, cans, Is the HEUI system 12v or 24v? Like to hear what you got to say.

That guy is frightning! Look I made a big flame, zero control! Now make it useful without killing anyone. Thats the real magic. Furnace/boiler..

Really? mix waste oil and diesel in a torpedo heater..! Get a little dizzy with a nice headache or do you just blame it on the beers?

I like the GV as well. Been 5 years now, TH400 with allison TC and 3.73's in the axles

Thanks for the pics. Didn't think it would be a "walk-through" design. Think I might lean towards a Stewart Stevenson 6X6 if they a SECM body..?

Did they ever macke a contact maintence truck configuration? 710 or 712.. Better off looking in the former fire fighting application? Thought thier trucks break too so they have to have a mobile shop truck, Right?

Cold steel with salt. Then put in warm garage you get condensate that keeps the rust going.

The engine is what it is, efficiency is no concern. Yes, the injector bungs being a real character builder. Was thinking the way of Megasquirt fuel only E.C.U. and T.B.I. off something like 4.3 v6 Chevy. M.A.P, T.P.S and I.A.C are incorporated in the Throttle body along with the injectors...

Anybody consider this for the Flathead as well?

Go through all that work... 6V92 Done and done! Nice little 10Spd Fun written all over it!

Lift Pump. If you can get a Vacuum / pressure gauge between the filter and I.P. that would help. I.P's like to be supplied with fuel 5-9 p.s.i keeps them happy. To much pressure will advance the timing. F.Y.I Had 2 mechanical pumps fail, Switched to electric and got 6 months out of that one...

Starving it? Lift pump temperamental. Vac/ pressure gauge between filter and IP would let ya know. 5-7 psi keeps 'em happy.
