BLACK SMOKE!!!
I must've really been close to sitting on the side of the road,my deuce never smoked like this !New head installed,timed correctly(my deuce was been turned up quite a bit with the old head) and it looks like a non turbo going down the road!I really need to turn it back down a...
I may be crazy but,I'm bidding on that truck in VA.It'll go right along with my GOER that'll probably never float again.Plus I seem to be a glutton for punishment.
I'm not sure what i'm gonna take next year,the 816 needs 8 rear tires($$OUCH$$),the Deuce just got new head gaskets (finished today,my third set of the new style gaskets)and the M52 seems to have a blown head gasket as well!!I pretty much pushed the GOER to the side until next spring,TOO MANY...
A1+ looking truck!,just noticing,but I thought only the M125/M123 were the only trucks that had cooling grills made into the fold down engine compartment sides?
Oil and fuel filters
The filter #'s are
Baldwin oil P999
Baldwin fuel PF316
Fleetguard oil LF516
Fleetguard fuel FS1201 or FS19553(upgrade)
Fill the fuel canister with clean fuel before installing it on the base.
hope this helps.
5 ton engine id

The GOER is operational!!!!
Sure Cabell,just bring your camera(mine is NMC).BTW I'm working on 4 vehicles at once(Deuce,wrecker,M52 and GOER).The 816 is coming along slowly,I still have a muffler to patch and I think the trans needs a input shaft bearing,I should have it finished before Oct 7.I...
Finally!! after 2 years of finding parts sources,parts re connecting hacked up wiring and hoses, my M553 GOER moved under it's own power! Granted it was only a few feet,but it moved foward then reverse,at which point the engine governer hung at full throttle and I had to shut it down.Plus the...
M816 5 Ton medium wrecker
Boy that was a long day!!!!I must note that I had the hook in the wiffle tree backwards on that lift,the hook throat should face to the rear.I agree with everyone else the 816 is a indispenseable truck (I couldn't survive without mine.)...
