    Killing NHC 250s -what we have learned killing 3 of them.

    What a tiresome and expensive way to find out about a, "spot the deliberate error". Are you sure the military version of these trucks does not have a sticker on the dash stating " Do NOT use on Hills"!.

    Welcome to the site and the hobby. Since you have been perusing the site for information, I sure hope some of the information (pertaining to the use ) about your truck included the possibility of using it (an M998) on the highway. Finger And toes crossed for you, though it seems it may well take...

    M548 won't shift

    Some more detail of what's going on would help, (The transmission oil light it on?) Do you mean is on?, and "wont shift out" means it is stuck? (lever wise?), Or, it can be shifted or gears selected but will not Up shift from first gear. Research the gearbox type, and trouble shoot from there as...

    possible pump fdc H.h. failure help

    Every line but that one as everyone I cracked gushed with pressure. H.H. Pump, F.D.C. I did note however, that if any one thing leaks at all the engine rpm drops. Seems this is a characteristic of the LDS (type) engine, A deuce will run with or without the in tank pump, and seems more forgiving...

    possible pump fdc H.h. failure help

    Thank you both, The pressure squirt is enormous though..(slackening connections while running) I will drop the tank to check if it plugs on running. (as) that radio body blocks the in tank pump!....But the pressure seems so high from everywhere while running when it just simply quits..
