Took it to a truck repair shop. Wanted to have the coolant drained and flushed and I really can't do that at home. Took along a recently purchased NOS pump just in case. Turns out it was the impeller. Had seen a posting on the site saying if the pulley turns and no leaks around the pump it...
Hello,
Have a 5 ton M813 that overheated a little while back. Had been driving about 55 for 15-20 miles when it started steaming and pegged the gauge. Had for the previous several years always been rock solid at 180. Replace the thermostat and cleaned out the 2 vent lines but it's still...
Nice Job. Looking at picture #3 (side view) it looks like it was made that way. I don't think anyone except the relatively few people that know something about these trucks would even realize it wasn't stock.
I'm a contractor. We have a system on all Army aircraft in theater and needed to do some special data collection in the area of operations. So we put some additional equipment in a Blackhawk and flew all around OIF early 2008. Flew out of Balad. It was a great assignment - I really enjoyed...
Appreciate the way you're sharing your trip with everyone here. Seems like you've had more than a few problem and I think you're maybe still in Canada? It's got to be costing you more than planned. I can't offer the kind of advice you're getting from the experience on this site so I'd be...
That's quite the trip and it sounds like you've put a lot of thought and preparation into it. I've made quite a few trips to Ft Rucker as a contractor before they moved the group we worked with up to Redstone. Went to Conestoga Steak House on one of the early trips and made a point of going...

Hello,
Nice job on the turbo install. Can you tell me about the exhaust manifold. Either part number or what engines to look for that use a similar manifold?

I've had pretty good results with this one:
http://www.batteryminders.com/batteryminder-model-24041-24volt-4-amp-24v-4a-charger-maintainer-desulfator/
Made for 24 volt batteries. Probably a little cheaper on Amazon or Ebay.
Bought an M813 cab tub from Postman515 and want to thank him for getting it bundled on a pallet and loaded. Very smooth transaction all they way through.
Thanks Much!

I spent a year flying over Vietnam and Laos in the R model (EC-121R). We were the relay platform for the sensors along the Ho Chi Minh trail. Really enjoyed that airplane.
