Oh, again, the screen in the pump, the one under that big azz flat head screw, is only there so that in case of a catastrophic fuel pump failure, the debris from the pump will not get into the injectors. It isn't a maintenance item. HOWEVER, in the case of something sitting and getting gooed up...
Sorta. The system, PT, Pressure Timed. The pump makes flow only below a specified RPM, and boost when turbo charged. The injectors take the fuel in, trap a specified amount when the plunger is forced down out of the metering position and then passed down through a check ball equipped passage in...
Looks like a project fer shur! I know where there are some doors, possibly a PTO, a complete dash, maybe a starter. Wonder why the fan hub was removed? At least the pump is still there! I do see a couple of holes open to atmosphere.
This pack is from one of the original, 1st group of USMC M998 HMMWV's to be released. There was zero wrong with this set up, the only reason it was swapped was the owner wanted a 6.5 and the L480 trans. This is a complete power pack with the exception of the alternator. Shortly before the swap...
I have no clue about it. I just happened to find it scrolling through Marketplace looking for the truck that flyboy posted. I just searched for military truck and you should see how many things come up just in my area. I tried to go to Texas but for some reason FB wouldn't let me change my location.
@Flyboy207, you are faster than I am! Was gonna put pics up, but got busy getting ready for a little vacation. Wait, i'm retired.....going to the desert!!
I think that is an M62. M62 has the hyd tank at the front of the wrecker bed, 543 has the hyd tank on the side of the boom and the front outrigger sits farther forward, almost 1/2 way into the fuel tank. M62 is almost over the rear of the tank. No pics of the pax side. M62 no fuel tank, 543 has...
More interweb TS! I got out a protractor. The way we did it on the stand was with a magnetic angle finder in the latter days and before that one of those swinging pendulum angle finders. I got 24. Easy thing to do, without really disassembling the engine would be to do the rest of the checks...
That looks a bit shy of the 32 degrees. There is supposed to be a closed end lock nut about an inch or so long on the screw sticking out of the pump body at the rear of the house shaped cover on the pump. That is what sets the throttle travel, that and the part under that cover that is secured...
Does not sound like the pump failed since no metal in the screen filter. Only way to tell if the screens are plugged is to run it with a gauge on the FP outlet and see if the rail pressure is in spec or pull the injectors and have a look see. Easier to pull things apart.
But first, make sure...
