    Hard Fuel Line Leak at Hydraulic Head

    I also pulled my #3 injector and replaced it thinking it might not be opening and with no where to go the fuel charge might be squeezing out somewhere. Well that was not the problem either in fact a good injector probably made it worse with the correct pop-off pressure being higher than a worn...

    Hard Fuel Line Leak at Hydraulic Head

    Good luck. My head started leaking at #3 as well. Some say this can be a weak spot and develop a crack there. You won't be able to see the crack. I tried changing the lines, putting on new ferrules, polishing carefully to be sure there were no scratches down in there. Nothing worked. I have a...

    Towing an Off Road / Overland FMTV

    I don't know much about the new LMTV beyond what I read here in the forums and online. What are the big capability improvements they have over an M35A2? I am guessing it starts with: - equal carrying capacity - power steering - better turning radius - goes faster on the road - maybe better fuel...

    Stuck M936

    I believe it is just a term. The front wheel drive on a deuce the actuating lever is labeled IN/OUT. In meaning front wheel drive is engaged.

    Wrecker power divider propeller shaft CV joint failure.

    I wonder if a place like this could rebuild it. The Driveline Shop Had a 1990 Audi V8 which needed the driveshaft and CV joints rebuilt a ways back. This place did it no problem. That was an oddball car. Could be worth a call I guess.

    Stuck high idle?

    Looks like an M35A3 which has a different engine. Totally different animal. Has to be a ton of info on that one here all over. It is a CAT 3116 I believe.

    Hauling a m274 in Tacoma pickup bed

    Might fit in a 5' x 9' U-Haul motorcycle trailer. Cheap to rent I do it for motorcyles. Will likely have to plan a round trip with it though. Dimensions here

    Chambersburg Pickup, Do they allow van trailers?

    I had two skids of tires and a lifting truck brought out of there this year. All arrived on a standard closed trailer. I swear someone said YRC was leaving a trailer there for LTL.

    video of a deuce with air brakes

    Cost must have been the driver. The 5 ton from the same period had air brakes right? They must have decided the smaller truck did not need the braking system of the larger which likely cost more to install. This system is simple and has fewer components perhaps.

    Deuce jacking procedure

    3/4 inch torque wrench if you want that 3/4 inch ratchet and or breaker bar 6' pipe for the breaker bar Lug socket and budd square socket. Combo might work but it did not for me. 3/4" extension I think 8" would be long enough. 3/4" Ingersoll impact gun with a 1/2" air hose should do it. Plenty...

    Shock on suspension seat question

    Does your seat have a spring and a shock? If it has a spring that will provide the return. Some types of shock absorbers provide damping in both directions with a fluid port restriction. They do not rebound by themselves. Original Deuce front axle shocks are an example of this. I do not know if...
