One thing about Detroit Diesels, they are easy to work on and maintain once you understand the basics of operation. They are dependable and as long as you keep the fuel system tight, airless. Start and operate on a monthly schedule to keep seals pliable and that will reduce repairs also. Taking...

What is surprising to me is that they are not demilling or crushing the units after the safety problems involved. It would be of interest to give out the information rather than the vehicle being altered and then either improving or making the stability problem worse. I would think that their...

I would try and source some of the electrical switches, sensors, relays. But economically it would very well make sense to use as many common parts as possible on any assembly. But after the units were sold the one common request was for an assembly manual. Why is that? The TM's would make...

Floyd41, seems that you have been testing the waters for some time?:whistle:

Welcome from Missouri to Steel Soldiers Afterburn!

Extra parts? Well for now my guess and simplest would be to buy another and have a near complete parts source. Not very many built, no support for parts even tho the military has to have something in a warehouse somewhere. For now the 1161 will be sold until supply is exhausted. Then I would...

When the blower does work, does the blower motor fan speed control work? When passing time on the site I will search different topics that interest me to use the different search features. And then when in need using the features become easier to use. Some times just forming the question...

Welcome from SE Missouri! How well does the flathead run? It is Great to see and hear that some of the forgotten equipment is being used again. I cant wait to see a picture of the 58.

On a positive note you didn't find any plastic bags. Clean everything you can, and again, now if you feel it necessary. I would check each section of the fuel system as you are cleaning to verify that that section or component is clean. I would replace any flexible lines now as age and...

And the "Duty Roster" continues to Grow! :beer:

I am curious as to the track chains, is it possible to get a picture posted DWJ?

Congratulations ReoRider Well Done!

Very impressive lineup so far. The Panel is still a little short. Can we get 4 more Volunteers? I know we can. :tank::driver::carnac:[thumbzup]

There are no boundaries when you think of MV's. I have seen several continents here represented with different makes and models. And the interest in the old to the new is fascinating to me as you can see how the engineering has developed. Willkommen an Bord!

I always use chassis black for daily use on my trucks. I get good adhesion after power washing. Depending on what my goal is and how much protection I am looking for. On the rust areas I use a zinc coating first. For a total rehabilitation as cuvrus has said sandblasting and total new...

I have to wonder if a tire carrier from a jeep, old or newer could be altered to work? Would you like a bumper mounted? Or swing out mounted to the rear tail light bulkhead?

Welcome from south east Missouri! I am north of Weingarten, Missouri.:beer:

Now that the lesson about fording water has been learned, lets move on to repair. Having heard of how the situation developed, and water now is inside of engine, fowling the oil system, bearings. I would either rebuild your engine or purchase a used running one to replace the current sour one...

Now I can see that is the table for the M16.
