Absolutely agree. Planning on it this fall.

Grabbed a set of these in March for $25 Still haven’t installed them yet They look to be a bit wider footprint so that will help. I also tow it around the ranch with my M1008A1 and my Yanmar YT359C tractor. Both do well but you do have to really pay attention when partially filled.

Update on my losing power issue. Drove it yesterday and she starts right up and no issues whatsoever until you need to put your foot into it a bit. Problem was worse. Not a lot but noticeable. Exhausting every possible failure point before IP removal. Is my fuel pump going out? I cracked the...

I will do this later today. I use seafoam but will try this Thanks!!

Possibly Will read up on that to make sure I’m not chasing my tail with it.

Fuel filter is new. Wix brand and the original setup. Noticeable power loss and the sound it makes when doing it almost sounds like Pre-detonation on a gas engine. I use Seafoam and two-cycle oil consistently. Pump looks original but I really haven’t a clue if it is or not. Truck has over...

Would you post a pic of the hitch setup? Others might need to see what you used to keep trailer level with SUV.

Realized it’s finally time to take off injection pump for a rebuild. I’ve had my M1008A1 almost 9 years and haven’t a clue if pumps ever been off and rebuilt before I bought it. It’s time Losing power on hills no matter the speed. Making more noise when increasing throttle with noticeable...

Looks like that was missed when trailer was turned in. I know some units use those trailers to throw scrap metal in it. When it’s full whomever has the contract comes and hauls it off. Seen the big M989A1 trailer used for the same thing. Hang on to it. Will come in handy someday.

It looks it

Any luck? Maybe get a new data plate and use the serial number of a scrapped trailer?

Might check your fuel tank pickup sock. They are known to clog and starve the engine when the fuel demand is higher.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers Answer to question……. Possible? Probably Most likely expensive I think it would be much easier and cheaper to use that as a parts machine and look for a complete unit.

I was very surprised. It wasn’t a high bid auction to begin with but I would have assumed they would have just sent them to auction again. After a conversation with the site manager I understand why they didn’t do that. Much easier and cheaper for a host of reasons to just get it off the...

I must be slipping I could not find that info, just that it was a diesel engine. Thanks

Hope you don’t have to buy a new one. Surplus ones are stupid expensive. Mine is the t-handle and I assume they both work the same way, but I have not seen your style valve before. Just the T-handle. As you turn the handle, it moves a plunger forward or backward to either open or close the...

Thank you All I kept finding was the NSN saying a diesel engine for a combat vehicle and that the Govt hasn’t bought any new engines in the last 5 years. Not a common engine that I’m aware, but I don’t deal with any engines of this size. I sold my 5 tons long ago and they were Cummins. It was...

Picked up two diesel engines today. One was a HMMWV 6.5NA and a rather large and heavy Mercedes-Benz M906LA diesel engine. Both are in their military shipping containers. Question is…….What in the world did the military use this Mercedes engine for? I have struck out using the NSN. I think it’s...
