Took if for another drive today. I zip-tied the rotating assembly on the vacuum modulator valve at about 1/2 of it's rotational travel. It's shifting at about 2,300-2,500 rpm judging by ear. This feels like a whole new truck. It accelerates much stronger than before and oddly enough sounds...
Sarge is running again. If you use a newer 6.5 injection pump you will have to find a solution to adapt the throttle shaft to the vacuum modulator for the transmission. My idea so far is to drill a hole for the roll pin to fit in, grind the flat tipped end of the shaft that would fit into a...
Sir,
I have not tried clear fuel line to check for bubbles. The black particles were only observed when I removed the housing pressure regulator valve, they were holding the check ball closed. It was only 3 little specks but it doesn't take much to plug the valve. Cleaning the valve caused...
A little more progress this evening working between rain showers. Tightened all of the injector lines at the injection pump thanks to my new 5/8" crowsfoot wrench. Got the 33 year old gasket scraped off of all mating surfaces and set the intake in place. Tomorrow's task involves installing CDR...
Some progress today. I've got the new injection pump installed and the fuel lines hooked up. I'll install the CUCV top cover and intake tomorrow and finish up the loose ends on Thursday. I did some reading, the cold advance solenoid is in the top cover in case someone searches about this issue...
I'm thinking the OP is trying to sort out an issue I'm having as well. Someone purchased a few M1045's without doors and wants to ship them from Georgia to Washington State. In my case he wants to ship me some X doors and have me install them. I'm not quite sure what hinges are on the M1045's...
I've pulled the old injection pump. Stanadyne DB2829-4267 which cross references to a 1984 model that was superseded by DB2829-4520 in 1986. I looked over the pump for the triangle shaped tag with an "E" on it indicating an updated Elastomer Insert Drive and no such luck. Now for the good...
If you have an old Military truck that was surplussed, you are probably in the clear. Jeeps, Deuces, M809's, M939's, and some HMMWV's are no longer in service. HEMMT and LMTV owners might need to be nervous but I honestly doubt it. They are downsizing so unless you own a unique vehicle such...
I've got my cabin reserved for next year, 3rd week of October. Is it time yet? I had a great time this go around! I'm now an 8 time Veteran of the Ga. Rally. Even a broke foot couldn't break my streak last year. I'll put less oil on the ground next go around but an accessory drive leak is...
I confirmed injection pump failure. It runs fine with the check valve eliminated. I installed a known good check valve (housing pressure regulator) and it was clogged after 20 miles of driving and the truck started getting low on power. KeithJ posted a detailed explaination in another thread...
LMTV locked on and I don't have Drill during this event. Current Roster is my M1028 (Sarge), M35A2 (Welder1), M35A2 (GoDawgsDv8), M1078 (Izzug), and my M923 (General Non-Sense). Toss your hat in the ring by November 16th and we'll Welcome you.
I didn't quite make the podium in October but I'm building steam. Maybe a picture change will help! We don't get snow too often in Georgia, maybe it will confuse the Northern Members and they'll think they are voting for the Home Team:beer:
No problem Sir. I work at MCLB Albany but have been to MCLB Barstow quite a few times. We put stickers with the information on the passenger side windshield, they paint it straight onto the passenger side of the hood.
I'm going through similar symptoms on my truck albeit I don't have a turbo or pyro. So far I have replaced my cartridge type fuel filter with a spin on due to a loss of prime issue. My leak was due to the fuel pressure sensor, some people simply eliminate that by tapping the hole and threading...
You're truck likely came from MCLB Barstow.

SW GA Area friends,
It's time to put together my roster for the Annual Spirit of Christmas Parade in my hometown of Leesburg, Ga. The event will start at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday December 1st. Please respond by November 16th so that I can add you to my line-up. I know that I have 3 trucks...
Test pressures seem to be within range. Take the truck for a drive and use lots of brake pedal even while on the throttle. Use an infrared temperature sensing gun to see if you have any brake drums colder by about 50 degrees from the others. I would start on the coldest one as that is where...
