I am 61 this year, the BLK Hummer guy is the eldest of our clan now. His calling in life is an electrician, mine is a wrench bender. The other two are a self employed general contractor, although he has moved on from our neck o the woods to a state or 2 away, maybe 3 if you count the small part...

AND, a bit of a surprise! I was looking through the truck, in the glove box, looked there half a doozen times. Well, we were missing the clutch linkage for the rear winch air clutch at the trans...the pieces parts that dis engage/engage the clutch at the bellhousing, located on the drivers...

OK, so here are some images of what happened. First off, again, a giant shout out to @BLK HMMWV . I could have not got things done without the help of him, his smaller than mine stature and perseverance. He is truly a motivated motivator. This hasn't been the first go round of him gently...

That was most def NOT fun. Worse going in than coming out, on the bottom any way. Top went easy peasy. I think I remember MFRS somewhere in there too. Yes, glad I wasn't a quitter, you are a good threat....er, motivator! Yup, willingly chose to bend wrenches, glad none bent with the impacts...

I know. Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants to be having a convo and all of a sudden switch to German! We could really mess with them! Imagine, we say something, stop, look at them and just start bustin' up! :ROFLMAO: Then walk away.

Yeah, it was, and still is, messy under it. I used zip ties to mark the location, none thru 3 on both the lines and on the blocks where they go. For installation, I just prick punched 0 thru 3 dots on the fitting. Should go back fine, just getting them down the hole might be a bit of an...

To be honest, the hardest part(s) of this has been the unknown. The TM spells it out, has images, but they are TM images from the late 50's, not so clear and the instructions aren't either. And the way the not so smart people before me worked on it. I do not think whoever it was was a...

OK, here's another update. Tuesday I got all of the upper hoses from the hard lines to the boom spool, lift and crowd. The pipe/fitting was loose for the crowd out, so I removed it completely to re-seal the pipe. Good thing I did, it was cracked. Woulda made a mess if put into operation, not to...

Here's an update on the wrecker resurrection. The GFM is going OK, right around $1500 has been raised. That is a good thing! We have also sold a few pieces parts to help make up the difference so the price for the project doesn't come out of the operational account. PirTek came out and I went...

I was gonna state what you found out. Glad you fingered it out. IF you are concerned with MPG, wrong hobby!

Not from the factory on these, there are provisions, places to connect them. The early C series didn't need them. Mid stop liners, spun steel and not cast iron. Later in life, they had them from the factory due to changes in the way the stuff moved around and how the engine fired. However...

There are provisions on the C for corrosion inhibitor installations. Two spots. The exhaust side has 2, soft plugs, these go into the lower and upper coolant cavities. Lower is high pressure, high is low pressure and rear of the block, same configuration. Cummins sells the fittings that go into...

You should also replace #26, the seal. If it is compromised you will have slow warm up and low running temps. It basically bypasses the stat if it is junk. And, with an auto trans, that could be a bad thing because there should be a diverter plug installed so that when the stat is closed, there...

That was a joke. Shoulda put a smiley by the reply!

Here is a link to a post that explains the differences between the different fluids, https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/dot3-4-vs-dot5-solicone-vs-glykol-based-brake-fluid.214711/

^^ What he says. I needed to do a MC when I first got my truck and just converted it to DOT3. Never looked back, no brake isues ever, well except an air pak! But it left me with 3 in it and as far as I know, still going. If I remember, it was used because DOT5 is silicone and will not absorb...

Yeah, that's right. 6.0 had to have op to fire. Same engine as the 444E Navistar IIRC, maybe that was 7.3, I forget. Puddy tat, same same, HEUI was their brain child. Did you know that the diamond no longer makes their own engines? MaxxForce killt that part of their business off, HEUI and...

I thought maybe a BF, but... Even modern electronic engines will still let things come to life with 0 OP, they'll just shut off after a few seconds ;)

Oil filter? How does that make an engine not fire?

If you think it's got a miss, go to harbor frt and buy a non contact thermometer. At cold start, hot is more difficult to pin point and if you run it and let it sit, heat soak comes into play causing a cooler spot to soak up the heat from other areas, measure the exh. temps on the manifold where...
