PB, He probably won't disappoint you this go around either. Briggs is getting bigger and eats more as well. He's almost as tall as Tony now.

I've really been slacking when it comes to campaigning. I washed my truck today getting ready for the GMVRR and a few local parades. I washed black mess away from green paint in places. I'm just happy that the truck did great last year taking me there and back as I was on crutches during the...

Ron, do you have any of the M923A1 "BigFoot" kits? I'd like to build one with my boys.

PB, I'm going to buy you a steak dinner this year. Lee and the boy's didn't make the trip last year due to illness but I remember Briggs eating about half your steak in 2016.

I would have thought that flat 4 would make more than 6 horsepower. We had one on an air compressor in the National Guard, it would make a neat go-kart engine.

I'm just happy to think of happier times. $1,000 dollar Deuces that ran with a jump start was the norm. 10 years ago. That all dried up. What GP is doing is replacing the middle man and attempting to realize that profit for themselves. I posted on another thread concerning this topic but...

I have no choice but to learn them and Love them as they are in almost all current medium and heavy fleet trucks. C7 in MTV's, C12's in MTVR's, C15 in LVSR and current HEMMT's, C18 in HET's. I don't know the history you gentlemen have had with the older models but the newer ones seem to hold...

I'm looking for a few fuel filters for the large driver's side frame mounted canister. I've found them online but $14 shipping per filter is a deal breaker.

The audio sounds like a dead cylinder to me. Not sure if injector or valve related. Do you have an infrared temperature meter? With the truck running, beam each cylinder at the exhaust manifold to see if one is significantly colder than the others. You'll find the cylinder that is not on...

It doesn't take much of a leak to drop to zero psi in 30 minutes time. When my truck was doing that the issue was a very minor leak at the rear glad hand valve on the emergency side. Mine now sits about an hour before dropping to zero, I need to replace my overpressure protection valve as that...

Is it leaking with the parking brake applied (lever raised) or just when the parking brake is released (lever down)? The reason I ask is a large leak can sometimes be a parking brake diaphragm that is cracked or ruptured. If that's the case, it should only do so when the lever is down.

Simp, I don't disagree with you often but I've driven an M1089A1P2 powered by a C7 lift towing an M1085A1P2 and could run on the governor for most of the trip from Waycross, Ga to Albany, Ga.

Do a quick search about Blount Island. They don't have a depot rebuild facility on-site. They offload and onload equipment onto boats, do operational checks and make sure the basic issue items are associated with equipment headed out to sea.

Papabear, Hopefully the truck moves under it's own power and has good tires. I have no clue. If it runs and has good tires, I'll come by the yard and drive it to Leesburg. If it has good tires but doesn't run, I'll pull it behind my M923 on a towbar with safety chains and airlines hooked up...

Derek, Put me down for a coleman stove please. I'm sure it will find a home on my National Guard M984A4 for times in the field and my buddy wants to use his percolator to make coffee. See ya there, may buy other stuff to once I get done swapping tires Friday. Joseph

Look in the manual to find the valve lash specifications, read this old school advice to figure out which valves to adjust. All 4 cycle 6 cylinder diesel engines I have ever messed with are adjusted by looking at thier companion cylinders. They are always 1-6, 2-5, 3-4. Always add to 7. If...

Is it time yet? Welder1 and I will be leaving out of Albany, Ga on Thursday morning. We plan on linking up with PCTrans at exit 101 off of I-75 in Cordele, Ga and pushing onward from there. The past few years we got to the rendezvous in Cordele around 0800 and make it to Durhamtown around...

It sounds to me like your truck is slightly loosing prime. I would check the in tank fuel pump by loosening the bleed screw on top of the secondary fuel filters and having an assistant switch the truck on. I would also check the connections from the fuel tank all the way to the injection pump...

General Non-Sense would haul those scooters with his trailer to be nice! He's in for another round!

I fill mine with a drill powered pump. Makes it a little easier than using gear oil bottles.
