If it's off a tooth shouldn't I just pull it out and move it over one tooth? Does this distributor just pull out like many others or is there more to that than on some other vehicle? I'd like to return it to the original rotation if its not really difficult. I don't like the grind to fit method...

So I have a couple of new big questions for all of you R6602 guys, is there a good reason why you would need to advance or retard the timing so far that you would need to cut away part of the distributor housing to turn it further? Also, because of the cap being cut up like you see, all of the...

Well I found the air leak, turns out the front driveshaft had rubbed on the hose to the transfercase and it split down the side, and th other one had so I got two brand new hoses. Got the fuel tank on today (a 30 gal off of an old pickup but it's better than the 5 gallon can). I found out the...

So does anybody have the part number for the R6602 Thermostats? I think mine are either stuck open or somebody took them out, even with the radiator blocked off and running inside a 70 degree shop I can't get it to go over 130 degrees. I am working on it now but I can't take any pictures today...

I will do that, I keep forgetting, i'm terrible at that. I never have any before pictures of my projects. On monday I'll have a good part of the day to work on it but maybe i'll go shoot some pictures of it tomorrow too, I have two hours tomorrow but I don't get to bring it inside so I just work...

I'll do some looking in the TMs but I don't know exactly where or what to free up. And where do you add oil to the system? I have a lot of TM to read but I don't know hardly anything about the air system as far as where the pump takes in air or where you can add oil or methanol to the system...

I got the brakes working, bled the master and air pack and they worked like a charm for about 5 seconds till I blew a steel line on the middle axle, 4 brake lines later they will lock up all 6 on the snow and lock up the rears on the pavement (no weight of course, not even a bed). As far as the...

The hissing never goes away I don't think, and two days ago I couldn't get the front axle to engage, I almost got stuck on flat ground with my two right rear tires sitting on a sheet of ice. Of course I don't know if my air system was up to pressure at that time, I had just unloaded it off of...

I did not know how to do that separately, but now that you mention it I think I remember seeing that in a TM somewhere, I just downloaded jatonka's TM9-8028 and will be looking through it over the weekend so I can go back on monday with more knowledge. And on the power bleeder thing, I actually...

How long has it been now that they have been putting ethanol in the fuel? Because I might have gotten lucky. This truck has been sitting for quite some time, and I have been putting ethanol free fuel in it since I got it.

Thank you all for the replies and input, I ended up doing some googling about the brake fluid testing and found exactly what you guys just said so thanks for that, I got some out, dropped a few drops in a cup of water and it did exactly what DOT 3 does so I added DOT 3 as I bled, however, what...

Is there a way to tell what is in the truck? I have no history on the thing, how would I know? And what type of bad things happen? Like brake system deterioration things or loss of brake power things?

So I just picked up my first MV about two weeks ago, so I'm learning quick and one thing I'm not learning is where to find much info on the older trucks specifically about the R6602 like I have and all the original 1962 stuff my truck has like the "triple fail" compressor that I have. I just...

Well that's good. That's what they're made for. I can't believe how many get scrapped without even 25 or 30,000 on them. What a waste. Same goes for Gama Goats and Humvees that get scrapped so early.

Well good, the whole truck? I hate to see these scrapped... obviously everybody here agrees.

So what ended up happening with this truck? Sorry to bump an old thread but I was curious. I just bought my first MV (an M-55) so this thread intrigued me when it ended up in my search.

If I could find a CCKW wrecker or something else I would. I am planning on building a small crane right behind the cab of this truck with a 2-4 thousand pound lift, just to be able to pick up things on and off of the truck, and a small permanently mounted flat section for my welder to mount and...

My wife and I have already talked of others, and I talked to a friend today who wants some 5 ton axles that might split one of the junkyard trucks with me. He'd take the axles and i'd take the rest. I'd keep what I could use and sell the rest to anybody on here. My wife and I are more wanting to...

So I bought my M-55! :mrgreen: Not either of the two that I was talking about however. Every time I go back to that Junkyard I get a higher price, so I bought one from a friend of a friend that runs and drives. It needs brake work ( not sure what exactly yet) I just towed it home yesterday. I...
