Sounds like she should be names Willie.

Well, after freeing up the sticking fuel control rod and cleaning up the solenoid, she start and runs. I've let her warm up several times now with no signs of any leaks, internal or external. The motor actually sounds amazingly good and starts so much better than my good truck. I'm not sure if...

SE corner of the state here. At 50mph most of you guys are a LONG ways away!!! One of these years I will try and make it up/ Mike

Thank you for the link! Unfortunately our county is not covered at this time but the neighboring county to the north is. Hopefully I will be able to help them out!

I assume that is on the lower filter hsg...no air cleaner assy on at the time. The 2x was directly against the upper adapter where the filter would seat. I rechecked all the connections and they are good and tight so I'm not sure where it got its air, but it did. The problem did turn out to be...

After stewing on it all night and reading up on the boards I'm going to look at the IP tonight. Several have posted about the fuel control rod behind the shutoff getting gummed up/seized. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?78640-stuck-in-full-throttle-multi

Well, on with the learning experience, which is really the main reason I bought this truck. So, as the previous posts state, I have just finished replacing the head gaskets and going through the heads. As far as I can tell every part of this has been done following the tm to a T. Beings I have...

She's ALIVE...and mad as HE double hockey sticks...and all I can say is WOW. I've never first hand experienced a run-a-way diesel until now. First things first, I think I need to thank God, my ol'man and this forum!!! Thru reading the boards I figured it might not be a bad idea to leave the air...

That's awesome USAFF!!! In never gave that program a thought as a use for a MV...I'll have to give a good friend a call who heads that program up around here! Back to the topic...the misses topless is great, the truck not so much. My votes for top on, no rubber or bows on the bed, just the...

Hopefully for what the machine shop swindled me out of they are good. They said they mangafluxed them and found nothing and went over them with a fine tooth comb and all they found was valves need ground and slight warp right at the back of the rear head. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed...

Defiantly know why Uncle Sam suggests a soldier b... I can even hear it my mind...soldier a says to soldier b, and I quote " you can put the rest of the mother hefer together... I TORQUED the heads and you Sir can KMA, I'm done."

Good learning experience. I thought to myself to play stupid when I answered their e-mail, then thought why, it's just a big chunk of metal. No reason to be dishonest...guess the standard answer should/now will be parts for my truck.

. I was going to try it again but I would hate to have my acct shut down as that's what they threatened to do if I was out of compliance again..use it too much. I assumed it was due to the fact the seller is a surplus dealer so they flagged the transaction to " get more information" on the...

Sorry if this isn't the place for this. I recently tried ride to purchase a m23 mount assy (from a reputable surplus dlr) for my display ma duece and had some major issues. The problem was with PayPal. They temporarily suspended the transaction claiming it may violate OFAC regulations and...

Montrose. Glad you got it back to life, nothing like beating your head against the wall.

if it turned out to be something you wanted I go thru st.louis 2-3 times a year but it I'm always pulling a 36ft trailer so it makes it hard to get too far from the beaten path. Like I said, if anyone wants it I'll give you his # or can stop for you and inquire. I have room to store it for a few...

Lol...I tried...it's my wife's, so I'll just call it cantankerous....

Here are some pics. Any idea why when I post pics off the I-Pad they are upside down? Can I fix them somehow? Thanks,Mike

I kind of forgot about the pics. I will get them ASAP!

Very inexperienced to these trucks but not to engines in general. With that said, if it won't hit on ether, you either are not getting air/either into the engine(possible mouse nest in the intake) or you don't have the compression to light it. I haven't ever looked at the internal components...
