an 85 should have the 855 with no ctis, if I were choosing a 5 ton that's the way I would go. Be advised the transfercases are kind of weak and wont stand up to trying to rock the truck or low range 6x6 that's why there is a placard that says not to reverse in low range.

I made that mistake once, I thought the flame heater wasn't working in my old ford diesel, gave it a squirt of starting fluid and before I got back in to crank , it blew my air cleaner up I also must admit I almost had to change my pants to

ok that's a lot better than ive only had experience with the modern electronic engines or the real old perkins engines in the Hobart welders

you can spent a lot of money replacing things to avoid using the et get a code reader like a pro link or pay some one with e-t to plug in to it the engine could derate for anything from a coolant temp sensor to a crank sensor you will have to plug in to find out why.

One thing to remember is the base engines are the same but your cat will speak a different language than the perkins replace the injection pump sensors and ecm with the perkins stuff when you do the rebuild. On the lap top et for the perkapillars and the perkins software look the same but...

I recognize that dent if I get some time I will look on the hard drive see if I can come up with a few for you

its a small world isn't it. we never used the pivot steer up here mike asked about using them I asked him how bad he wanted to put the track back on as I previously posted the bushings and pins eventually wore out we got to put the track back on in knee deep mud.

the new style tracks use the same road wheels but different drivers they are available but I think it was around 80 grand for the kit to convert. soucy also makes a full rubber track conversion out of Canada.

Yes that is the one I have some stories about it. putting tracks back on in waist deep mud having it stuck in ditches with the tracks spinning free and of course it got sunk in a flood once I had to drain the engine out of all the water but it started right back up. Its been a good rig I have...

From the pics its not stuck all that bad I have used a john deere 350 to free up my lmtv and a case w24 loader stuck worse than that. a good kenetic strap and a 5 ton on the road should pull you right up, just not as fun as using the winches.

here is a brief summery I cut my teeth on the old m44 style trucks, and I love them the duce just looks bad a$$. if you want something more civilized and don't want to shovel snow off the hood in the morning, a cab that seals up, or a heater that works than go with the fmtv. If you don't mind...

did they flush the fuel and oil rails, when the heui pumps go bad they send metal through the fuel and oil systems if you have a heui failure you should also replace injectors and flush the fuel and oil rails.

not to start arguments but 6 wheels don't always equate to more tractive force I remember trying to use a m 35 to pull a dead cat track loader the duce wouldn't budge it yet my gen 1 dodge cummins 4x4 was able to pull it a quarter mile out to the road where we could get a truck and trailer to...

My 2 cents for hat its worth, the 3208 was a gutless throw away motor too but there are thousands of them out there still running making money today. The 3116 could use some better turbo mapping for a vehicle application the mill spec engines were actually industrial spec engines which may...

the hmmwv tcm sits in a hardened case, I don't know about the tcm on the lmtv I suspect so, One of the reasons the military alternators is so massive is because it is emp protected, I tink the a-0 model I have is pretty well protected I don't know about the newer models.

I'm no expert on mrap's but most modern electronic gauges run off the j1939 buss and require an ecm to function.

on the forklift the left pedal applies a brake and declutches the transmission. of all the forklifts I have worked on I have never had to open up a transmission to see how it happens. I suspect its an internal clutch at the output end of the transmission and not inside the torque converter. I...

things to think about early 6.2's had coarse thread injectors than around 90 they went from a 2 piece rear main to a full circle rear main the flywheels between the 2 are not interchangeable. I believe the flywheel between the gen 3 6.2 and 6.5 are interchangeable.

In the commercial world the 05 acert engines had a catalyst in the muffler it made them real expensive but were also prone to plugging up especially if not driven at highway speeds to warm up egt's. I have also seen around here standard mufflers coke up with a tar looking substance again from...

No the front is isolated through the front check valves under the drivers step.
