I'm too dumb and not enough time to make that work. Really dang slick idea though. You should design and patent a starter removal tool!!

Howdy everyone, thanks for the great advice. I finally have time to work on my truck tomorrow and begin troubleshooting. :) I'll try baring over the engine tomorrow and seeing if it's seized. Then I'll scrutinize the starter and potentially bring it back with me to MT to get rebuilt. Then I'll...

I'm just strong enough and dumb enough to do that. ;)

It indeed was, injectors/cylinders were full of oil, at least in cyl. 1-3. This truck has been a learning experience. Doesn't help I can only work on it 1-2 days every 6 months. :-(

Darned midnight inspiration! Love it but my does it strike at inopportune times. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of coming back every day. This beautiful beast for the time being is about a 22hr drive away. I hope next time I see it I'll be loading it on a trailer to take home where I...

I'm upset I didn't consider that. Next time! :-D

I took out what I believe to be cyl. No. 1, 2, and 3s' injectors today. They seemed to be filled with oil. I think somehow the cylinders got filled with oil. Posted on that 30mins ago or so.

I'm trying to get this M813 engine to turn which I belived was rusted solid, instead I think I have the opposite problem. Referencing the two pictures: I pulled what I believe to be the injectors. Cylinder no. 1's injector hole and injector was just absolutely soaked/filled to the brim with...

Ah perfect! That will come in handy when the day comes to get this bad girl running properly. Thank you! :)

Is there a video on how to do this and what is the "setting" process? I'm trying to get the truck to at least move under its own power to trailer it to a place where I can tear down the engine and over haul it. Push comes to shove I'll get old timey, using winches and pullies to move this beast...

Hello all, Another member and I finally got to spend some quality time with an M813 that sat for 2 years and didn't want crank over. Regrettably the engine is seized. It will quiver and try to move when the starter is engaged but won't turn over. Can someone reference the TM that shows...

Are spider webs calibrated by MM or thousandths, are the tools readily accessible?

Oh! Clever... I hadn't thought to post a video! Thanks Serpico!

Negative, that'll be next time I can get at the truck. I'll be pulling injectors and spraying in penetrating oil then see if engine wants to turn. I highly suspicion a bad starter connection or just old starter that needs encouragement.

Copy. Next time I'll be bringing gear and a wire brush. Took a second but those TM manuals are really helpful. I'll be fiddling with the starter and putting some penetrating oil in the cylinders next go around. Engine and rest of components act like they're ready to jump to life and get running...

Hello, I'm the person Serpico is talking about. Do you recommend an aftermarket alternator? If so perhaps do you have a recommend brand?
