I recall reading somewhere about this bolt and even brought out an 8 mm wrench to try this trick. But I could not find the bolt. I had no idea where to look, though. Thanks for pointing out it's next to the water separator filter.

It was retracting when truck started, but I did not know enough about this to look at it when it wasn't starting, so not sure whether it was working before. Maybe it's an intermittent fault and if it malfunctions again, I will know what to look for.

I managed to get the truck started. Have no idea what I did that worked though. The TM dealing with crank but no start condition was not particularly helpful. I drained a little bit of fuel from the bottom of the oil/water separator canister. I then pumped the manual fuel prime button until my...

My truck will crank, but won't start. Can someone post photo of solenoid and what part you need to manually hold open? I am sorry for this naive request, but I don't know what the solenoid looks like and I am desperate to try this.

If my 932a2 is cranking but not starting, should I try that or is "beating on the pcb" only for no crank condition? Where on the pcb would I hit and how hard? Repeatedly or just once and retry starting??

I wonder how much difference this spec (fire engine) has vs. what's installed in our trucks, especially since this spec sheet is dated 1997, and most of m939a2 truck engines are from late 80's to early 90's. Also was curious to see they list fuel burn of roughly 13 gph. That would mean at steady...

Those are wise words. I'd also add "expensive" to the mix!

Just stumbled on this thread link by accident while trolling for some other stuff, life is funny that way. Well, I am a year older and infinitely more wise, having imported a Saracen and a Fox (both British armor) into USA. The effort I've expended so far vs. ride time -- actual seat miles -- is...

Is this a fluke mechanical failure or a maintenance deficiency? I'm just wondering why a military grade chassis would suffer a wheel/hub separation on pavement and if anyone else driving a humvee should park it until it goes through a mechanical autopsy. I don't own a Humvee, but I do drive my...

Paul, It's unclear to me what you need or whom your are directing your question to. Are you trying to register or title or insure your HT? What do you need help with? If you are looking for insurance, I can recommend you contact the insurance broker I used, they were very good in securing a...

That looks like a great trailer, but is it civvy? Civvy trailers on craigslist are $4K+ and you have to deal with 12V vs. 24V and then different plug. On GL, the trailers are a grand or so.

You need Dexter, the blood spatter analyst from the Showtime series to trouble shoot origin of where that splatter emanated!! Sorry, I know you are probably miserable, I am not trying to make fun of a crappy situation.

Saracen acquisition unrelated to Santa! Just got bit by armor bug and long story short, an armored Cold War era British APC journeyed across the Atlantic to Pennsylvania. For some reason I can't upload photos, but it's the same model as this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHCCTKk0Jwk I was...

Thanks! I have to find some places in Pennsylvania/NJ that would be interested in using my Saracen! For some reason I can't upload photos, but it's basically identical to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHCCTKk0Jwk

Another idea for usable armor is a halftrack. Quite a lot around, both Stateside and overseas and apparently US rules recently changed that you can import WWII lend-lease armor. You can find them restored or in project shape, so depending on budget, you can get the right machine. Because they...

I am confused, this can't be the same Ferret you were going to repower (from the other thread), since you are still showing shifting the pre-select transmission. So that would mean there are 2 Ferrets in Miami?? Wow! Do you guys have any other British armor? I am heading to Orlando in a week...

Bump. I am curious to see how this turned out. The Ferret transfer box takes power from the transmission and splits it to left and right sides, where prop shafts send power to bevel boxes at each wheel. You have 4 bevel boxes that need to be powered. I am struggling to see how you will make...

I tried to deal with Mortar Investments and after emails and calls and spinning my wheels, I gave up. I would be very leery of buying from them unless you can go there, kick the tires and supervise or enforce whatever they promise to do. My point is that if they can't provide service before the...

I may be wrong, but I think OT-64 is over-width. It's not like you are incognito driving it and if you are pulled over, they might slam you. If you have to get permits every time you want to drive it, it will get old fast.
