    Spring Maintenance / Oil Leaks

    HS, Those are good, I think it's my trucks way of saying I should have driven it too the GA Rally rather than contracting that job out. As small of a leak as it has, I'd probably get by for years just adding a little oil at a time but I do prefer a leak free truck. Never had one while I was...

    Injector Fouling cure

    10-4, it's just an intermittent problem, as in maybe once or twice in 40 miles of driving. It only seems to do it once warmed up and you can easily hear when one cylinder drops. A quick jab of the accelerator and she's cleared up and hitting on all 8 again. The truck was stored in a cave in...

    Injector Fouling cure

    metal wear or varnish from sitting so long? I'm convinced this truck has less than 3,000 original miles and have pictures and documentation to back my thoughts. Could a good fuel additive that dissolves the varnish help? Trust me, you've got my attention as you seem to be quite knowledgeable...

    Injector Fouling cure

    Larry, The wife saw this and said the only way I could trade is if I got "The Proud" and a fuel card for a year along with it and quite a few greenbacks!!!!! In other words, she said not a chance in that fire pit below us.

    Injector Fouling cure

    I've got a very low mile M1028 that runs great except for 1 issue. It will occasionally foul an injector and the only cure is to floor it. The increase in fuel delivery will cause the dead cylinder to start firing again everytime. It's only got 2800 miles on and am I'm sure they're not 102800...

    Spring Maintenance / Oil Leaks

    I'm getting ready to do my spring maintenance on the truck and have just a few questions. I'm doing everything but the hard lines on the brakes and have NOS parts in hand. I've got oil leaking out of the output shaft on the trans and input shaft on the t-case. Does anyone have seals available...

    How to make the 6.2 not start?

    My truck sometimes suffer's from injector fouling. It's never been a big deal for me when it happens while driving down the road, I just lay my foot into it and the non-firing cylinder jumps back to life. I let my wife drive the truck to town the other day and throughout the stops, it died on...

    2' 1/2 lift block questions for M1008

    Welcome from Leesburg, GA, about an hour away from you. I'm glad you're not using blocks on the front and will be curious to see how it looks when you're done. I plan on running the 37's on HMMWV wheels but am thinking of going 6 inches and doing a crossover steering conversion as recommended...

    multifuel conversion

    It'd be easier than a NHC 250 Cummins or Mack ENDT but probably still not very feasible.

    whats this?

    The MK-48 can drive off like that. On the back axle, there's a lockout strut that has to be in place or it'll fall flat on it's nose. It's akin to riding a mechanical bull when not attached to a rear body unit and it's a jerky side to side ride when hooked to a rear body unit and you steer it...

    Gonna need some help please!!

    EMR, Zack and I have talked a pretty good bit about buying one of these trucks. He's been wanting one for a while I can say. He may be new to this site but he's had the passion for a while. I'd be willing to bet he'll make it to the Rally this year and if it's not too far of a drive, we'd...

    Gonna need some help please!!

    Zack, As we discussed on the phone, this truck will either drive out under it's own power or I'll tow it home with my Deuce and fix whatever needs repairing. If anybody else bought a M35 or M109 out of Albany, GA recently, I'm here to help and have absolutely no affiliation with GL but I've...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    Larry, I've got drill this weekend so perhap's next weekend if you're interested in seeing the ole girl. She's a beauty to say the least.

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    I got a little more info on my truck yesterday. It arrived back in Albany packed into a 20 foot ISO Connex. I was talking to another guy on base today and he thought it was going to be his truck. He told me about when it showed up and he just knew he had a good farm vehicle but was outbid at...

    M553 10ton GOER Update

    I'm game to drive it just as long as it's hauled the first 160 miles or so there and I can get a little familiarization time in it. Then that leaves the task of getting The Proud there as well as my NOS USMC M1028. Oh well, we've got a few months to plan!!!! Do we have a second Landoll to...

    Will hopefully need some help soon.

    Some folk's think they're getting low. They just came and took pics and description's on the older trucks my local National Guard unit has so I'm starting to think it's true.

    Will hopefully need some help soon.

    Did you get it? I saw that it closed at $2610 which is a little higher than I predicted. Let me know if you need some help or talk you through recovering it.

    Correct Batteries

    I prefer Hawker 6TAGM's myself but they can be pricey. The oldest I have is an 03' though and will still accept a full charge. I can't get 4 years out of a civi battery but I've got almost 8 year old AGM's that are good to go.
