New guy

[MiseryMachinery]

I recently bought a m944a1. After seeing this site come up so much in searches about things for it I figured it would be a good idea to join. My new toy runs great but needs a few things replaced and a few things modified. I got a few questions that I figure this place could help with. Yesterday while testing the generator the exhaust pipe decided it didn't like the engine any more. Is this a common problem? I already ordered a new piece , maybe it will last another 30 years. The flow pump on the engine has a fuel leak near the throttle shaft, is this a problem that can be fixed on the truck or will it need to be rebuilt? Other than that I look forward to sharing my experiences with it and trying to add what I can to this forum when I get the chance.

Welcome from Kansas City, MO. There's a wealth of knowledge on the site. Also, be sure to search for the KAMO Rally threads. We have it each year in October at the D-Day Adventure Park in Wyandotte, OK.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! Definitely some good resources and info here. Give the search function a try for your Maint questions. Someone may have already had that issue and worked through it. Enjoy.

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy.

The exhaust pipe on my M927A2 (from the muffler up) decided to abandon truck yesterday while I was flat towing my M275 to the new LZ.

I've seen a lot of them do that.

I'll probably just straight pipe it now since the bucket over the muffler looks tacky.

Welcome to the 5 ton club where everything is heavier and more expensive.

It wouldn't be bad with straight pipes running down the road, but using it to power the generator gets a little loud.
