    M35A3 Fuel Pump/Prime Issue

    3116 CAT fuel system - YouTube ? Then return line check valve above that on the Governor or tank check valve ? Wonder why they never added the filter / primer ball set up like on the FMTV's.

    What did you do to your M37 today?

    Woke up left front flat. Glad I had the combat wheels and Coker tires number. No tire damage area around tube valve stem let loose. Ordered two tubes two flaps.

    Replacement two-piece rim nuts?

    Myself just a little light weight oil on the threads. Then good wash with degreaser and paint the stud / nuts with wheel. No primer just rattle can the color I want.

    "If I ever meet Jesus and he asked me if I have been keeping up on reading my Bible I will have to tell the truth. I have been trying there Jesus but Doghead wants me to get through the TM's first then from then on keep the Bible handy and well read". This was my quote and never said Jesus would...

    Removing, rebuilding, reinstalling Hydraulic Head

    As for is timing correct? Not the best time for second guessing did I get the timing off and should have been checked just after head install. Better news if it is off you know what has to be done to correct it just a real pain now. Yes off timing is important to how engine runs so might as well...

    M1078A1 Rear hubs getting hot

    Yea you do not even need to jack it up just have someone watch and do one side at a time. Be sure to use the correct size Allen wrench. One of mine was all ready in bad shape and had to drill it out. Trouble was when I hit the magnet drill stopped and I had to remove the cap and tap it out...

    M1078A1 Rear hubs getting hot

    Guess a cool test would be if someone would take the time would be set up dial indicator way then check with cut of hub. Would think as long as there is some clearance is much better than to tight. I am no good at ciphering so I just did Steve's way because I had a hub that was bad and had it...

    Just by googling I find it will lower cetane and decrease lubricity being a solvent. Just opposite of what we want as we want. If you do not believe in additives designed to help raise cetane and lubricity would seem like do not add anything.

    What about the new Duramax and the CP4 and the dealer telling the new owner to add good fuel additives to protect it. Why try and make your own mix of anything when you can buy it at the auto parts store and the bottle even tells you how much to add. Also I will try and find it again but report...

    M1078A1 Rear hubs getting hot

    Here is the way it is done using a cut down hub or something that is made to hold the cross in place. My .02 Steve's way takes wear of the parts into thought and we can feel the 10 to 20 thousands min. clearance. Also easy way to understand what we are looking for if you have never set up a...

    Since I am not a chemist I am not going to add chemicals to my fuel that are not designed to be there. Ok all you want to add is new motor oil or two stroke. Fine but they do not cover everything we need as in to raise cetane, water dispersants, fuel stabilizers, rust inhibitors and last...

    M1078A1 Rear hubs getting hot

    K.I.S.S. first a short ride and then feeling the drum not the hub will tell you if the brakes are sticking. Then we get into our hubs. Most of us have the tools / cut off hub so when we remove the hub to check outer set up and inner greased bearings so we can put it back together right. So at...

    Trouble with the 3k inverter

    Yea I found that trap door thing but did not post about it. What mine did with the door open was it started and ran for awhile then it would burp one time black smoke then run like nothing happened. Then same thing burp and run fine as long as it was running door open. I did not like it doing...

    Trouble with the 3k inverter

    I have a Honda 3k inverter that I bought for the 373 trailer and used it last time power was out at the house. I use the Honda at night for the trailer heat or AC and TV and fridge during the day. Runs everything in the 373 or house just fine that I need. The military unit was just for the well...

    Trouble with the 3k inverter

    Yea if I dry it out with the hair dryer it will restart with no problems all the same day long. When I ran it for 30 mins. it still was fine the same day later on but it is when it sits over night the problem / short starts again. I will take the side panel off one day soon and see if there is...

    Trouble with the 3k inverter

    Well just my luck that I bought the one that has the protective coating getting thin or worn off. Hope it is an easy fix but no fun to get to.

    Trouble with the 3k inverter

    Bout ready to store it at someone else place and just spring for a propane whole house system. Then I can still live in the house if I loose power and not the military 373 trailer till the power is restored. Before I sold my other property 60 miles away if I lost power at my house I just hook up...
