The NP200 heat issue gets argued and debated on the M715 zone just about annually. The best I can figure. About 20%-30% can run all day with the engine at redline and have no problems. The rest can’t handle more than 2500 rpm drive shaft speed for more than about 45 minutes before they get...

I read your post several times and am still confused. You have a 6BT with an automatic in your truck already? If so, then getting a 4 wheel drive automatic and a married NP205 might be your best option. Just a single crossmember for the transmission and transfer case that way. Everything else...

I remember that old thread. I didn’t post to it then, but I used it when I had the same bouncing problem. I ended up pulling my speedometer, lightly cleaned, oiled it and used a pneumatic drill to check function on the bench before I installed it again. All these years later it still works...

Rotella 15-w40 is what you will find at Walmart and just about any parts store. If no turbo I would suggest the T4 non synthetic. If you have a turbo or plan to let it sit for months between uses then the T6 synthetic might be better for your engine. You can use any brand. I just know Rotella...

The DB2 4911 was the factory GM 6.5 turbo IP for about 6 weeks. Then they went to the drive by wire DB4. If you have a 6.5 mechanical IP which has slightly bigger internals than the 6.2 IP. Then you can have a rebuild shop set it to 4911 specs. However, I think that is overkill. I have a...

Good idea on the vacuum. Trying to snake something in through the intake valve might also be an option. The intake has to come off anyway to do the head removal. Might be worth a try.

I bought one of these Wi-Fi borescope a year or so ago: https://www.amazon.com/Cal-Van-Tools-84-WiFi-Boroscope/dp/B07VD9DDK4/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1HS0T7Q06EK28&keywords=Cal-Van+tools+Wi-Fi+borescope&qid=1675910146&sprefix=cal-van+tools+wi-fi+borescope%2Caps%2C207&sr=8-3 There is a magnet adapter...

The resistor for low speed is a big ceramic thing. It looks like the ballast resistors used on point ignition systems. When running on low fan speed that resistor gets very hot. I used a zip tie to keep it out of the way and the zip tie sure did smoke a bunch about 15 minutes into my first drive...

That leaf spring plate movement makes me wonder if your U bolts are tight. With the engine running have someone turn the wheel lock to lock while you watch the axle at the leaf spring. The drivers side because of the steering linkage geometry will walk front to back as the wheel is turned. Doing...

Check your rag joint as well. Something caused your steering wheel to now be off center. Rag joint or axle U bolt is my first 2 thoughts. Front end parts normally don’t suddenly go bad. If that is what really happened something broke or bent in that turn. Check the frame around the steering...

I think we need some common terms. The ignition switch has off, on and start. The glow plug light should come on when you turn the key to on. Then you have to hold the key in the start position. If your starter is not working with the key in the start position. Then you get to check wiring...

Normal tires figure 3-5 years and replace. Military tires, especially the old NDT tires have nylon cords that hold up very well seem to last forever. But, they do age out before wearing out in most cases. It really depends on your intended mission for the trailer. Military vehicle speeds and...

That lid orientation gets debated on the Zone every so often. The best guess is the manual pictures were taken before production or very early in production. I have seen people make canvas padded covers for the lid that are actually very comfortable arm rest. I sent you an email Rory.

Awesome. M715 for sure. Maybe RED depending on Colton’s schedule.

You are correct. As I wrote, 299 things to go. Pedal on or off does come before my thought. Which with the shoes out of adjustment has fluid getting pushed back by long traveling shoes getting pulled back by springs.

OK. That eliminates the airpack vent blowing brake fluid from your master cylinder out of the master cylinder. Just 299 more things to check and cross off…. Seriously. It reads like your brake fluid is rushing back into the master cylinder when you release the pedal with a lot of force. Now...

Do you still have the vent line hooked into the reservoir system? This happening with or without air really helps narrow things down.

Those hand cranks breaking bones supposedly is what motivated Kettering to develop the electric starter and the Dayton Elecitric Company (DELCO) to make them after a friends wife died of infection after breaking her arm trying to start a vehicle.

Way back when I only owned a single 6.2 in a m1009. I installed a rebuilt IP, got it started and then it wouldn’t turn off when I turned the key off. This was in 2011 and there was a thread similar to this one where blocking the return line will kill the engine was mentioned. I used a pair of...

You can remove the starter, remove the solenoid and then install the starter again. That will allow you to push the drive gear out by hand.
