As far as oil pressure, I prefer to add a brass tee and keep the idiot light as well.

Thanks for the reminder. I remember that trip now!

Your truck looks very familiar. Did it ever call GA home?

Build one of these. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/deuce-power-bleeder-r4x4-style.3229/ Unless you coat the threads on your bleed screw, the vacuum will always draw air into your suction bleeder. Pump the power bleeder up to about 10 PSI and move from bleed screw to bleed screw.

If I may, I suggest reaching out to evil dr. Pork chop. He has NOS kits that have that info in them. I just bought one. The reason I suggest this is because the instructions included look to have been copied from a photocopy that was photocopied from a photocopy that was photocopied from a...

There is an approved nylon line to use for the return line. Metal lines that you can flare and bend would likely crack without some type of robust support system. The lines on there likely have been there 40 years, that's pretty good in my opinion.

When I pulled the engine out of my M108, I ran a chain between 2 slash pines and hung a chain hoist from there. The gap between the trees narrowed about 2 feet before the engine started to rise.

Wayne Harris and myself swapped SECM bodies on a Dodge M887 with 4x4s, blocks and a single bumper jack. I think I shed a gallon of sweat that hot summer south GA day but it worked.

You could put the same rims and tires you had on your A2. I have them on my A3 trailer and the work really well. 55" between the inner fenders sure helps out a bunch.

Oh, BTW, M1009 and M1008 share the same charging system. It's the ambulances and a few shelter carriers that have the 200A system.

Thanks Sir. I found it listed in PS196 also but it referred me to DA PAM 310-6. I'll have a looksee at this one you listed. Edit, thats what I needed Sir, thanks so much.

I have not. We (Steel Soldiers) used to have a great number of PS Magazines uploaded to the site. I think they have gone away. I shall see what I can rustle up.

Did you take the shutoff lever off of the shaft? I questioned that on my 5 ton when I put it together because it wouldn't idle. Apparently I did get it right, mine ended up being something sticky on the governor housing. After a few heat cycles, it's working just fine. Yours is a little...

Does anyone know what this MWO relates to? Internet search hasn't helped.

94-33916 is correct for that weight of truck in Navy reg numbers. Oddly, they assigned it a CUCV NSN. SInce 86 was the last big production year with a small number of 87 trucks produced, yes it's a civy truck. The V in the VIN number denotes this. None the less, a super cool truck.

Make sure to have a functioning spare and that the tire davit has what you need to drop the spare. Tools to change spare tire and a glad hand with coupler and air hose. AAA likely will have little interest in helping with a flat.

I ended up buying the surplus pins on eBay for $12.04 delivered. I'll try my best to duplicate the chains Jon posted.
