    Injection pump compatibility

    LDS pumps are minutely advanced if memory serves, so I believe you'd turn the fuel up, but yes it will work. Edit: just to confirm, your LDT is turbocharged, correct?

    I would like to find what the firing order and to know what number one cylinder on m422

    https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/downloadable-manuals-for-mighty-mite-m422-m422a1.74657/ There's a list of TMs in the link, best I could gather is the firing order is 1-3-4-2 with cylinder one being at the radiator end, known as the front of the engine, firewall end being rear. Hope it helps

    Do we know how long the auctions will continue?

    Just to confirm, if an A-10, SR-71, or P-51 comes up for sale/auction, we're creating a thread to pool together and buy them, right?

    M816 Wrecker - General Questions

    I thought date of inspection and date of manufacture were the same date, guess I get a lesson too 😆.

    Do we know how long the auctions will continue?

    Google says hmmwv production numbers from 1985-2012 were North of 280k, and the first civilian purchase of them at auction was Dec of 2014. 11 years of auctioning how many per year against how many were lost or are still in service against that probably "estimated" production number might give a...

    M816 Wrecker - General Questions

    Mfd 10/85. It is a bit harder but not impossible, might be easier for you because your truck is a bit newer. Weight data looks identical but the XM816 and M816 do have different stock numbers, it will be fun discovering what the differences are. Congrats on the win

    M816 Wrecker - General Questions

    Beautiful rig!!! Pretty sure when an "X" is used as a prefix to model number it represents a prototype or experiment. Was there a pic of the data tag from the auction?

    XM789

    Anyone have pics or any info on these other than what the TM has to offer? Specifically looking for deck dimensions, axle positions and tilt height.

    Did I toast my 6.2 engine somehow, and how do you jump a 24v HMMWV?

    It's kind of difficult to do but a video would really help here, the word "grind" has a very broad definition..... Does the engine rotate at all under starter power?

    Does driving a three axle m35a3 require a CDL?

    Glancing very quickly (and not being a lawyer) at Massachusetts laws, I'd want a class B license, but if the vehicle is going to be an RV, the A3 falls well within class D, and I didn't see an axle restriction. Highly recommend talking to the DMV first just to be positive.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2025 - February VOTE HERE!

    Story goes I went to an auction in Nebraska 1k miles away in the middle of nowhere held in a corn field to look at the rig before bidding. Went through the usual inspection found that injection pump shut off was sticking and not allowing it to return when ignition is turned on without reaching...

    King pin replacement

    TM 9-2320-289-34, chapter 6, page 71 would be a good place to research, chapter 6-1 says to pull the shaft, but that may be for a different job covered further down the chapter, not necessarily the king pins. Hope it helps
