well you threw me for a second ... I guess most all of us were expecting the A3 to have had the break-downs bringing it home :ROFLMAO: .. I should know better ... I headed out late one night with a borrowed tractor/trailer with sleeper (and a younger new GF in the other seat) on a long haul to...

the problem to overcome is the lack of piston coolers in the NHC250.. Guys that run around town for fun can get away with just popping a turbo on there, change the fuel button, and maybe not even put in a pyrometer.. However, anyone pulling hills and loads with the mod has warned about watching...

a town did this mod to a M813 which they put a 16yd dump bed onto .. They installed a fuller RTO13-dash-a-buncha-numbers (overdrive 13-speed roadranger) .. It was larger in all dimensions than your 7-speed of course, and it was quite a project to relocate everything to retain the live front...

you sure should be very glad it is only rattle-can paint on your decals .. one of our M818's CARC is 98% flaked off after bi-annual pressure-washes for the last 15 years,, although the CARC is holding fast to the pair of vinyl "us army 05F******" on its hood .. The rest of the truck is down to...

there is plenty of discussion in the 5-ton forums right here about turbo-ing an NHC250 .. It will be found in the M809-series discussions .. The M939-series came after my "hands-on" army time and I am unsure whether the early non-turbo M939-series engine is same exact engine as the M809-series ...

having been a long-time contractor using a good share of M-series trucks in the business for decades before retiring, i thus have my own parts yard that grew during all that time .. Even so, there still was the occasional need of NOS parts we were out of and Eastern always came through with...

drove to mechanicsburg pa in '97 to grab a M880 for the town via the state OGS system .. truck was listed as a M880, Code A , operational, "drive it off the lot" .. I got there to find it was NOT a M880 but a M890, the driver-side door and bed had a pair of deep firmly-planted forklift dents ...

any that I have installed went between the tank and the filters, put it as close to the tank as possible.. you should always try to push fuel, which assists in priming filters and the rest of the system .. also, the closer to your fuel source, the less work a pump has to do to draw the fuel...

they should have no problem selling that truck , ESPECIALLY advertising it as a ENDT673 Mack and not a multifuel .. too bad it's too many states away from me and all outa time for projects, let alone have time to organize one heck of an auction before my boys do

yes, however, in the HH instructions posting(s) I mentioned , you have to make sure the IP (and HH) is in register with the engine before you pop the HH off.. The red mark can be close to being in the center but in reality 180* off to the engine timing, some issue like that .. Something that it...

a simple carter 24VDC in-line fuel pump can be used without removing the in-tank pump .. They are about 50 bucks and on fleapay or napa.. It will easily draw fuel past the in-tank, the in-tank is only a loose impeller with a huge amount of clearance around it.. The Carter in-line has more...

yes , but if I recall correctly, having the engine timing marks lined up only gets you within the ballpark of the HH removal marks, in some cases you might not see the marks in the HH with the engine marks in line.. You will have to bar the engine a hair one way or the other ever so slightly...

being you have the commercial-type air brake system , there are specific rules and regs, and simple step-by-step tests to determine allowable air losses .. I used to know and practice them daily before I retired, and this info can be found on the FMCSA website instead of me regurgitating it...

no idea .. it was old red paint under the red paint , and I never looked at the nomen plate

Only the HH (hydraulic head, the round body the lines to the injectors come from) has to come off to fix the button .. the rest of the IP stays in place on the engine .. You aren't messing with the quill .. The button and clip sits right up on top of everything .. There is a specific procedure...

there are a few excellent posts on here about it and the HH, it is how I learned about those troublesome buttons ... There is a specific procedure to removing the HH that has to be read and re-read to grasp an understanding before attempting to remove the HH without damaging things.. It can be...

my local FD received a modified M37 in the 1960s and had it until the early 2000s , I had never seen one like it before, nor ever again . .It appeared to be a mil-spec special bed of M37-styling, with gasoline pump and 400g water tank sitting in it, water backpacks hanging on the sides, hose...

the muiltifuels can be started/driven without an operable in-tank pump if its run at least once a month and keeps its prime.. The most common symptom aside of a silent fuel tank when you flip the accessory switch, is a prolonged cranking time / hard start .. yes it's crazy how sudden the...

a nearby FD had a pair of M715's and one of them they installed a large heavy hose reel for brush service to use in conjunction with their tankers.. To get that M715 to the scene hastily, they put a hiper 350 in it , the idea was to get there faster than the commercial tanker, thus they could...
