    My M818 recovery MCLB Barstow (AKA the surface of the sun)

    It's alive.... Third time was the charm, It took three runs with fully charged batteries and getting working a long time bleeding air yesterday, but this morning I showed up with fully charged batteries, started pumping the primer and the presure went up and I hit the starter and it gurgeled...

    My M818 recovery MCLB Barstow (AKA the surface of the sun)

    When you hit the starter on the 813 or 818 does the RPM needle move at all?

    My M818 recovery MCLB Barstow (AKA the surface of the sun)

    Check, fuel in tank but I'll add a few more gallons. I did not remove the fuel filter, what would I look for? When I got the truck the emergency stop had been thrown. It was at its stop pointing toward the firewall, Imoved it to the stop facing the bumper. Was that too far? Should I have gone...

    My M818 recovery MCLB Barstow (AKA the surface of the sun)

    I was able to get away and spend some time with the truck. I brought recharged batterys. I was able to put a 1/2 " black pipe cap to fix the broken emergency air line elbow. I still have a starting problem. I followed the recommendation in the manual to bleed the air out of the fuel line by...

    My M818 recovery MCLB Barstow (AKA the surface of the sun)

    My M-146 should be picked up and delivered tommorrow, that one needs work. All tires have cracking and will need to be replaced. The air hookups are broken off and missing and the rear door needs some TLC (delivered by a few sledge hammers).

    My M818 recovery MCLB Barstow (AKA the surface of the sun)

    I'm going to try that next time I'm at the truck (I'm charging the batterys now). The car was actually my idea:-D, my wifes business operates out of the malls in the Los Angeles area and that car has reduced my blood presure(she didn't like the car at first either). Parking and getting around...

    My M818 recovery MCLB Barstow (AKA the surface of the sun)

    That was me...It was nice to meet you, good deal on the truck, I have to do many of the things, I hope you don't mind a PM once in a while to ask how you did some of the work you are doing.

    My M818 recovery MCLB Barstow (AKA the surface of the sun)

    Tires looked new or newly installed, the spare is unused and still has the mold threads stick out of the top of the tread. The wheel lugs and a lot of bolts on the truck looked new (still had a shine). Looking at the truck it almost seemed like it went to some auto school were the students go...

    My M818 recovery MCLB Barstow (AKA the surface of the sun)

    Well I recieved my PIF invoice and arranged for a tuesday pickup. Since the wife doesn't share my love of "junk" I left her at home and went alone, because of this and the legal and logistical issues I hired a local trucking company to haul it from Barstow. I got to Barstow at 10:00 am and...
