So I ended up removing the fuel cap, cranked… no start. Batteries are very weak ( I have currently only 2 hooked up), so I will again tomorrow. I did lift the cab and prime the fuel/water separator for good measures. I thought it can’t hurt. Either way, no start unfortunately

Great! I really appreciate it. Can’t wait to test it

Can the air vent for the tank be easily identified? I would agree that this is the most logical explanation. first thing I do when getting home is to open the tank cap and see what happens!!!

Okay. Definitley will do that today as soon as I get home. Thank you!!

Happy Labor Day weekend! I have an issue that seems so simple, but I can not figure it out. My 1083A1 truck has been sitting for some time, but it always ran and I drive it on the road, registered it, loved it. Last spring, it didn’t want to start anymore or died right away. I traced it to a...

Not often enough due to mechanical problems and time constraints. I want to make it a reliable Expedition RV platform, but I m FAR away from that point. Oil pressure is low and bouncy. HEUI injection actuation pressure stability!? That’s a mouth full! No idea and obviously not touched it. ECO...

I should have added: I have owned the trucks for about 6 years now, my running truck is registered and road worthy. License plate/insurance etc. My other truck is purely parts, too many missing parts unfortunately but it came with it. I already upgraded to a commercial alternator, I believe it...

AWESOME! That’s all the info I was after. I appreciate your help!!!

Good day everybody! I would like to remove almost anything that only makes sense when being used in a battle environment, broadly speaking. Are there others that have done so or know where to look for guidelines to do just that. I would like to simplify the truck as much as possible and make...

Hello FMTV/LMTV gurus! Probably a ridiculous question - but it just shows how little I know. I have a 2000 1083A1, purchased at auction in Fairbanks. It ran pretty good, had some starting issues that were traced back to a solenoid on the left side of the engine, next to the power steering...

EXCELLENT! I have been at that specific spot on the forum, but didn't realize that there are multiple links. 🙃 Thank you for pointing me back to it. I got them all now! Good to hear it has a good rep. I/We are even more excited now to make this generator work again!!! It appears that you are...

Good day fellow SteelSoldiers! I came in possession (auction) of a MEP-804B generator, including the massive trailer that it is moved with. The motor however, was taken apart almost completely. I was after the trailer at first, but now, looking at this unit, I have a hard time to scrap it for...

Very nice!

Hey all! I have a year 2000 M1083A1 with the 3126 in it. This truck has lots of crucial missing parts unfortunately, but I am determined to make it run/complete! First one on the list - Steering Tie Rod (with boots)! I am aware of being in Alaska makes shipping expensive or difficult, but...

Alright! That helps for sure! Thank you!

Yes, given the lack of wheels in the area, I won’t have really a choice it seems. Thank for the wheel info, very much appreciated.

Well, I would think so. This is what I am working with.

I forgot to add, it is this type of trailer, a 1 ton M116A3! Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Hi folks! I ended up winning an auction item online today, a generator trailer. The thing is, it has only one wheel on, so towing it 60miles home won’t be easy. Does anyone have any ideas as what wheel size, hole pattern these trailers have or if there is a way to substitute the missing wheel?

THAT’S IT! Awesome! Thank you!!!!!! And, I will keep in mind not to tug but to wash. Part is ordered!
