I had really expected this before now. In reality GL should be getting the title as on paper they are the first non-government owners. Whey they can't just give the 97 out in the winning bidders name is beyond me. It would seem since they are doing contract work for the government they should...
Sweet. I got my brake lines fixed on mine and fixed the one broken window. I also cut off the high security pad lock from the side door. We used them for our arms room and they do not give you any room to cut the lock loop. No way to cut it with bolt cutters. I had to torch the body off then use...
Ty and I were sitting there minding our own business on the bed of the deuce when the drive of one of the German Jagdpanzers came over and asked if we had any diesel to spare. Today we were the only post vehicle to show up and stay. An M38A1 and an M151A2 did show up for a couple of hours but we...
I almost forgot. R. Lee is a very approachable and cool guy. It took a while to get through the line because he would talk with people at length. This is great. It must really suck sitting in one place all day signing autographs and he still was in a great mood by the end of the day when we...
I took the deuce and family to Willow Run airport in Ypsilanti Michigan for the annual Thunder Over Michigan Event. They have a huge battle reenactment complete with a bunch of armor. They even had 101st Airborne reenactors actually jumping out of a C-47. I later took a ride in one of the C-47s...
The point of the law is so you can hear other traffic. My point is I can barely hear anything over the deuce anyway. I have not come across any such law in Michigan or Tennessee but I have not specifically looked. I may try to look tonight. I do no that tv screens in the front are a no no in...
RE: Re: RE: Accessory drive seal leaking bad on cummins engi
The manual shows a small bolt pattern but I thought about it again and I am going to wait for a week or so to do the job. I will check it out and get back to you.
When I was picking up my trailer recently a guy was also picking up an M1008. It was missing a door and dash pad. The installation is not on a military base so they called the Lansing Police who came out and took a report. The lot has sale stuff and is also a storage lot for equipment awaiting...
RE: Re: RE: Accessory drive seal leaking bad on cummins engi
I forgot. Thanks for the pics. It really helps to know exactly what I am looking at. Line drawings can be deceptive. I used to be a certified mechanic but have never worked on a lot of diesel engines.

Will,
I have decided to do the crankshaft front seal also. Does it also have the sleeve like the belt pulley on the accessory shaft? The diagrams leave a little to be desired. I would also like to get one of your installers from...
In the diagram above the part number is listed as 211255. My invoice says 211255 and lists it as a seal. The zip lock bag has 211255 on it also. I really think they had the wrong part in the bag on accident.
Will,
Just to be sure, you say I need 60 and 70 from your diagram in addition to...
Thanks Will. I really want to be able to pull it apart and put it together without having to go to the Cummins place in between. I may try to go tomorrow morning.
Thanks
Chuck
RE: Accessory drive seal leaking bad on cummins engine in M8
I plan to take the old seal out and take it in. I tried to do the easy thing and order it over the phone. At first he quoted me $900. I told him that was a little steep for a seal. He then said he was quoting me a price on an...

Will,
This is what I got. Is this the slinger you are talking about or did they just send me the total wrong part?
Thanks
Chuck
RE: Accessory drive seal leaking bad on cummins engine in M8
Wil,
The seal I am talking about is the one that goes in the front cover where the belt pulley attaches to the front of the shaft. What I need is number 16 on this page.
RE: Accessory drive seal leaking bad on cummins engine in M8
Well, I got the "seal" from cummins today in the mail. It is marked as a seal on the paperwork and the zip lock bag it is in but what I have is a thick metal washer. No rubber for a seal at all. It looks galvanized. Not brass or any...
RE: Re: RE: How to swap out GP controller card thingy on fir
If I remember right you ground the terminal with the small blue wire. You should check your glow plugs first. The quick and dirty way is to connect a test light to the positive on the front battery then touch the tip of the light to...
