New Guy from Colorado Springs

[PSturg66]

Hello all my name is Paul. I am US Army retired. I am picking up a 6.2l from a Hummv soon I plan on going over the engine, doing the usual 24 to 12v conversion then dropping it into my 84 Gmc Sierra Classic. The truck has a 6.2l in it, but its tired. I hope this will qualify me to remain on the site. Anyway, I am glad to be here, looking forward to learning and teaching.

Welcome.

You just need an interest in MVs to hang out here.

 

[PSturg66]

Thx for the welcome, Warthog. I happen to be a contracted wheeled vehicle mechanic at Ft Carson. Its amazing, I have subscribed to at least 4 other diesel/truck forums, have yet to rcv a reply to an introduction. Within 2 minutes of my intro thread here, I get a response. I like this place already

Paul,
Welcome from Kentucky, to really fit in you'll have to paint your truck green, then it gets additive.

Garden of the Gods territory - welcome to SS Paul

Yes, beautiful place, thought we were gonna lose it to fire last year.

 

[MarcusOReallyus]

Yeah, that got close. I keep in touch with a friend I made there when I served at Ft. Cartoon. He was evacuated, but didn't lose anything.

So, welcome!

Say, are the barracks that were new in the '70s still there? They were a light tan brick buildings. How about the old red brick barracks?

 

[PSturg66]

Well, I know that a few years back they did alot of renovations to some of the barracks, they are all brick now. They have also built new motor pools and brigade complexes. Out by Butts AAF, they put in alot of barrack, built a shoppette too.

Glen, I do believe your issue is a an air leak, or a pressure transducer on the pneumatic controller. And I think this because you are hearing air in the PC and under the truck at the QRVs.
