    M35A2 Fab. Shop?

    ANY repower is an "experiment". I did that the last 15 years of my professional life, took old stuff out, put new stuff in. To the operator, it looked and acted the same, but from a mechanical point, TOTALLY different. MOST of the repowers I did were upward of 400 hours. ON road stuff took more...

    M923 power steering belt size?

    Just because it is " professionally inspected" doesn't mean it won't fail. Seen NEW stuff fail on the dyno and road tests. Having "professionally" maintained an old MV, and driven it to the dirt, played 3 or 4 days and driven it home, hundreds of miles, I can tell you, you need to keep the small...

    Amg m35a2

    Can you hear the pump running? It COULD be that the rubber hose has disintegrated and not pushing fuel, but you have enough fuel in the tank that fuel delivery is possible. Also, there is a fuse on the top of the pump under that little cover, could be blown, corroded, messes up ground or not...

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    Been so long, wouldn't know what to do except step back and watch. Did I ever tell you my nick name when I first started in the industry was Willy Watch Me Work? That's only because the service manager saw me standing in the doorway at the dyno, guess my jaw was on the floor and I was totally...

    Anybody know where the fuel injector pump filter is on NHC250?

    That filter is there JIC there is an internal pump failure. It filters backwards, inside-out, and has a magnet in it to stop any crap the pump internals puke out in case of a failure so they do not make it to the injectors. It is NOT a required maintenance item. Unless the go juice in the truck...

    M35a2 freeze plug issue

    If you STOP the reason for the corrosion, put good antifreeze in it, it SHOULD prevent the rest from leaking. If you flush it, the flush....if a chem flush is used, might dislodge any rust on the remaining plugs and you'll spring another leak. There are more plugs in the block.

    M35A2 fuel pump help

    You can make it re-using your old fittings. Notice the hose is not crimped, those are push on type connections to the fittings, the hose can be cut off and re used. You need to find a commercial hose shop and get some push on hose. If you take the hose you have, most will be happy to fix you up...

    Guys, be mindful of talking prices here if you all are watching/bidding.

    M105 trailer troop seats/bows/canvas dimensions

    AFAIK, M105 didn't have seats, only side and end boards. The sides and ends slide into pockets, thebows slide into the sleeves on the sides. The bows are something like 1 1/4 square tube. I know where there are piles of new bows and corners. PM me if interested, they will be inexpensive. No...

    Standard Bolt & Nut Torque Specifications

    Print them, can't tell you how many times these have helped out. Beware though, SOME manufacturers have separate, other than these standard torques. Something that comes to mind is New Flyer busses. They USED to ship us busses with the axles removed. We....Cummins....would torque them to the...

    What's wrong with this NHC 250?

    I don't have FagBook any more. Can you post a direct vid or one thru YouTube? Can't hear a timing issue, it would be a visual/olfactory thing.

    Standard Bolt & Nut Torque Specifications

    Both of those are awesome, Here is a PDF of the stuff I copied out of a manual and took to a friends house that the original Dirt Bag crew works on out junk of.

    Blown turbo

    How far to get home? You could take it off, plug the pressure line and put a stopper in the drain, but it will be obnoxiously loud. You'll need to figure out a way to put filtered air into the engine. Check the blow by tube for obstructions, if air can't get out, it creates crankcase pressure...

    Skipping NHC-250, bad fuel line or overhead adjustment?

    ATF meant for older vehicles, like dex/merc is very high in detergent, it can loosen things up. Seafoam, I think, is a water based additive. Seen it used on gas engines, it is kinda like when a l o n g time ago we used to pour water down the carb to remove carbon. I haven't had any ULSD go...

    Skipping NHC-250, bad fuel line or overhead adjustment?

    Just saw this, been out and about. Any smoke? If so, what color? Isolate the engine from the chassis. Run a line from a clean container of go juice directly to the pump and see if it cleans up. If there is enough air in the system to make it run really bad, it could take a bit for it to clean...

    Rear main seal?

    Look at the blow by tube to make sure is not blocked before you start ripping into things.
