Suggest you keep the center of gravity of the new water tank centered right over the original 5th wheel pin location. These trucks get squirrely when the weight is too far back. The winch platform has to go or the tank will be too small.

These are 45 mph trucks. Just relax and enjoy the scenery, maybe some babe will flash you. The DP winches are sought after, they are marketable on CommercialTruckTrader etc. The winch platform, fifth wheel and ramps can go to scrap.

Ha that is high and low beam and ground is base.

Just call Memphis Equipment or other knowledgeable source and ask for a kit for a multifuel 5 ton.

Welcome. Yes the mulifuel engine smoked a lot when it rolled off the assembly line, although it tends to be black as coal. And power is typical 1960’s diesel truck. Suggest you go all through the fuel system and clean everything and add some fuel conditioner when you finish, that should help...

Yeah! We need the government to step in and control market prices!

Easiest is just leave it without anything connected.

No. There is no fuel return line. You might be confusing the vent tubes.

I have one just like it. It's civilian. Mil never used the cable pull control.

I told you wrong earlier, the temporary fuel supply needs to feed the primary filter behind the tire not the secondaries on the engine.

Yes it's very helpful that the electric lift pump works to prime the system after filter changes. Suggest you do the following if you are in the early stages of keep vs get rid of decision process. Get a 5 gallon can of diesel and a new electric pump and feed diesel directly into the edit...

X-DCR is transducer and it's the useless sensor that usually sticks up out of the top of the fuel filter which sends fuel pressure to the diagnostic plug in device called the STE-ICE which is Simplified Test Equipment-Internal Combustion Engine.

Welcome. Alabama to Wisconsin is quite a ways. I highly recommend having the truck hauled by a knowledgeable trucker. Do a careful financial analysis, you will arrive at the same conclusion. Too many things can go wrong leaving you on the side of the road.

Well it's a hydrovac brake booster, I want to say that is the model used on the GMCs. Problem with it is there are no fresh rebuild kits available for it. So most of the time people upgrade to newer types.

No rudeness intended, sorry

Has to carry 2 and a half tons and do this without breaking anything. Now do you understand?

Actually a competent machine shop can sleeve the pitted cylinders and you go on with life. I would only do this to a GEP engine however. My 6.2 looked like this a long long time ago and I sleeved several holes and it has been fine ever since. Might be cheaper than finding another engine and...

Welcome yeah looks like the previous owner got carried away with the train horns and flood lights. And questionable demands stenciled on the bumper given the 55 mph top speed. Army trucks are supposed to be inconspicuous at least in their natural habitat in the field.

Those axles started life as flat plate that was formed into shapes and welded together. No issues with welding to cast material.

Yea kinda a dead item. Back in the 90’s when the Army was dumping the M151s, they would let the scrappers pull the engine before squashing the body flat as a flitter. So there is an abundance of engines here and there in warehouses for the demand that never came. Now 30 years has past and who...
