Well, as seen above the engine was froze up too....it came form NC, maybe the humidity and sitting didn't do it good....I assume I need to break it loose before I try and adjust it?

Sounds dangerous....I like it! Will report back later...

I would head over there if I had time, but this week is crazy, and I'll be TDY the 2 weeks after that....

Whats the easiest way to break it loose? Will I be able to see much when I take off the inspection plate? Thanks!

SHES ALIVE!!!!! I hooked the batteries up, and she fired after a couple seconds of cranking. Didn't want to idle on her own for a few minutes, but now she idles around 600, not sure if that's normal, seems a little low? For the first few minutes there was a lot of steam/smoke coming from the...

Charging 4 now...

2 out of 4 batteries charged. Working on #3 now. May try tonight if the temp doesn't go too low....pictures at: My M818

I'm as anxious as you, but charging 4 batteries doesn't happen instantly :)

The engine oil was the only fluid I've found missing so far. Air filter is there. I put 4 charged batteries in, and tried to crank her. Got the thud. I marked the belts to see if it was moving. Sure Enough, it was making small movements. I gave it a few thunks every couple minutes so I didn't...

I picked up my M818 from Redstone earlier this week (http://www.steelsoldiers.com/military-vehicle-road-trips/50617-redstone-m818-recovery.html). I've been working on fixing her up this week. The first thing I did was a field repair to the radiator that was damaged by a forklift. Next was...

Last Tuesday Wreckman and I headed out to Redstone Arsenal to recover my M818 with his 915. I had to tow it due to the radiator being punctured by a forklift...never fails. We met WM just off post and headed to the GL office. Mike (One of the Redstone GL guys) was nice enough to load us out even...

I did one last month, was at BC for 5 days. Hadn't done an EUC in 2 years before that one....go figure.

I like how the tires keep spinning....and spinning....wonder if the driver got knocked out

About how much does the radiator assembly weigh in at?

Andy: I believe you are running way too hot! Post turbo should be 800, 900 MAX. Bad things can start happening above 800. I believe its about a 300 degree drop across the turbo, so your running ~1300 pre-turbo, which is in the danger zone I believe. Here is some more info...

I was also told after a year you start from square one. My last one was 2 years ago, and the first one I had done since then (last month) was send to Battle Creek on a Wednesday, and I got my PIF the next Tuesday. 4-5 Business days there, not bad!

Carnac, Thanks much, sorry about the dashes, will remember that next time! Donation made. Caleb

Welcome from Huntsville. There are a couple of us up this direction.

Would he be interested in towing an 818 4 miles off post? MY EUC came thru today, and it's new home is just off the GL lot up Mem. Parkway. GL guy said they have a towbar I could borrow. I can also assist with his 816 if he needs help preparing for the trip. I would drive mine off but the...
