    5 ton misses and dies

    The screen filter in the pump is only there to stop debris from going into the injectors if there were to be a pump failure. The flow is backward, it filters from the inside out and there is a magnet in there to pick up broken pump parts. Looking at it will do no good. If the engine runs, the...

    CUCV-II Engine Popping Noise

    Sounds like a bent push tube. Engines pop like that when the valve timing is off.

    M35A3 Caterpillar engine

    Agreed, I have seen no larger diesel engines have a chain in the front. They are all gears.

    Thank you BLK HMMWV. No more firearm discussion. I'll edit the posts out if it keep up.

    Radiator R&R ?

    IIRC, the shroud clips to the radiator at the bottom. You can take the shroud bolts out at the top, pull the shroud up a 1/2 inch then slide the radiator up and out. It's been a bit since I worked on a GM truck of that era, I think that's how it went.

    M5 repower

    If you put an under drive behind you might be able to pull the tank a bit better.

    Antifreeze spills out

    Was it sweet smelling? If not and you are running antifreeze, it was water from someplace.

    My first 5 ton melt down

    " but if i had to guess i'd say it blew a headgasket and hydrolocked while cruising down the highway," Never seen one fail like that. The gaskets on the NHC aren't like the deuce or a gasser. The liner is sealed from the coolant and oil passages. Cut the filter open and see what you find.

    M5 repower

    Ron, I think 2 BB chevy's wouldn't fit. We have an M5 at the Museum with 2 SB chevy's and a pair of TH350's and that is WAY tight. I agree the 6.2, even turboed, will lack the power needed to turn it. It is cool to see old iron come back to life though :jumpin:

    My Spring Broke!

    Call Saturn or Memphis. You are close and if they mail the parts, you'll have them in a couple of days.

    NH 250 lifter housing shims

    If you don't do it right, it will be hard starting, it'll smoke too. If you took the shims off, measure the old ones and put the cam followers back in the same position the came from.

    Fuel Draining back

    ^^This. Those darned diesels are funny like that. There'll be no spots where fuel leaks out but air will be let in.

    Need help with lift questions

    Dude, I got some COOL tires and wheels! PM me for details.

    M-60 tank

    They can be privately owned, the Museum has 2 of them. It takes a 9 axle trailer to move them over the road and a permit . Not only is that a bank roll to do but they don't get very good mileage! They are fun to drive though :beer:

    Has anyone here changed a Hummer tire by taking the rim apart?

    It's WAY easier to unbolt it from the lugs and put the spare on :roll:

    M60a1 lives!

    Silverstate, yup, I knew that. IIRC the M901 uses the same "environmentally and human friendly" fluid in it's system too. Brian, come on out anytime, we need a starter changed it the other M60. You can reach the stupid thing but can't get to it thru the hatches in the bottom, guess the power...
