RTV blob that seezed the water pump... and looking at the timing gears I believe this is a very low mile engine.

It drives very well~ I think this one is a good one. Now door time... and steps... and an iPotato video if the first start...

And this

Its about time I got this uploaded...

My M997A1 showed the USMC makings in the auction photos... when I got her they where painted over. Meh I'll just put them back...

Amazing how well it runs with ALL of the fuel lines hooked up. Runs like a champ!:)

Spent today replacing the water pump. Found our why it was frozen... A RTV blob ring squeeze out had broken free from the backing plate and wedge the impeller. Guess the milspec for RTV is bigger the gob better the job. Went looking for the check valve... sure as Shinola I found it... also...

Dang she will not start... No fuel and it's upstream of the filter. I have been reading about a "check valve" that causes issues. Where is the check valve? It could also be the fuel pump but I can feel a pulse when i put my thumb on the fuel line. I think it may be a little weak but I do feel...

Are Meltons that bad? I haven't done that yet and should. I'll know more this weekend.

I got to bump this as I have the same question. Looking for a stripper for CARC

I have an un-issues M1101 that had never been painted. I I can sap some pictures if you like. I am not to sure what the factory fount is. If you know anyone with a cutting machine like a circut make your own stencles and use this fount here. https://www.1001fonts.com/marsh-font.html

Thanks so much! I don't think i'll be starting the fab of the rear doors and steps right away. Firs off is getting it running. Then I have the M1152A1 I am also working on. Funny thing you mention hearing protection. Normally I find a plethora of Skillcraft pens in these surplus trucks...

for tobash...

Yeah I read the thread and good infor there. Nothing about the rear steps though. I would like to know what "frame" is made of. I believe it is 3/16 or 1/4 plate aluminum... The only things missing in the engine bay is the alt bracket, a couple of exhaust flange bolts, the serpentine belt...

After that wall of text and bad grammar... to my questions. Is there anyone who has a complete M997 box. I know the rear doors are hens teeth I have plans on making my own. I have an idea on how I am going to make the doors. I also want to make the steps. The only things is I would like to have...

I have just picked up a M997A2 and have some questions. But first let me tell you the condition. It is a non runner so I have no idea if it runs. My gut feeling is it will but some things need to be address as they all do before I attempt to start. It is missing the trans oil dipstick and tube...

Thanks for all of the help! Had a retired friend who wanted a road trip... so we headed off to the middle of Hillary to get the truck... and found 6.00 a gal fuel (not the highest I saw)

email sent!

You know I may need that... but my head is hard... would break something. The other HMMWV runs like a champ! Been working on the body. I need to decide what I am going to do about doors $$$$$ Nope haven't fixed the trans leak yet. If I had a fancy shop like you have I would have had it...

waiting to hear back on him
