It is no better at cleaning than fresh diesel. Yes, it burns fine in most diesel engines but it can be less lubricating than diesel so limit the time a diesel runs on it. Diesels have much higher injection pressures so lubricity properties are part of the specification for diesel.

Also, the O-rings do not seal the delivery valve. They are only sealing the low pressure side of the head, high pressure is always metal to metal seal.

That is the cover to the delivery valve. There is a spring under it, forcing the lapped delivery valve into the seat in the head. Take the plug out and see why it is leaking. I would venture there is a crack which cannot be repaired. But it could be loose. Yes, the injection pump is...

Robotool? I have used one. Yes, it beats a lug wrench but it is about like a good 1/2" air impact. A good 3/4" air impact will spin 600 foot pounds of torque or more. Which is what I need.

How about what have I done WITH my CUCV? My brother's car spun a CV joint on the right side, it was dead on the road. Took me a half minute to diagnose and a few days to get parts. Then the M1031 was by my side to spin off the 30 mm axle nut, air impact wrench is an arm saver. All powered by...

The back battery only sees a load during starting.

We are neck-deep into the wiring harness replacement with the color-coded Greek replacement. The rear is done and the front it in place, just not fully connected. The light switch is installed, I traced and numbered the colored wires for less confusion. The original wiring harness was in...

Well, on this weekend's trip, my 1031 averaged 14 with a stiff headwind and doing 65 MPH. Yes, some think this is too high RPM for the engine but it is rated for 3600 RPM maximum LOADED governed speed. As long as the harmonic balancer is fresh, this speed isn't an issue, it is under 3200 RPM...

You are on the right track, the black and white wires signal the regulator of the battery voltage which then varies the output voltage to maintain battery charge.

Never introduce ANYTHING flammable into the air intake of a diesel engine. Atomized hydrocarbons included. Especially for indirect injected engines since they have higher compression ratios. Ignition of such fuels well before top dead center causes pressure spikes that ruin pistons, rings...

If the seal isn't leaking, there is no need to change it. Seals ride on a layer of oil, as long as they seal, they shouldn't be changed. I used the NAPA Service Tools steering wheel and crankshaft puller tool set, UPC number 14994 02291. This is a KD Tools 2291. Not only does it pull the...

The SECM came in several types. Basically, ordnance, engineer and explosive ordnance disposal. The tool sets between ordnance and engineer were similar and related to equipment repair in the field. EOD was a bit different, the generator was used mostly for lights. Manuals are restricted...

Sounds like you need to adjust the idle. If your hand throttle works, use that for preliminary measures to see if you can get a stable idle. This injector pump is like all other mechanical pumps as it has a governor. When you smash on the right pedal, you command the governor to a higher RPM...

Pulley to damper? Check bolts for grade+size and use Appendix E of the -20. The damper to crankshaft is fine thread metric, it is specified at 200 foot-pounds. Sorry, I don't remember the pulley to damper torque specs because they aren't all that critical. My arms are calibrated, "that looks...

Probably an axle vent line. Screw threads won't seal in a hose but it can plug. Vent plugging will cause eventual seal failure.

There is enough hose length. The split rivets should be easy to install. If the pitch of the holes in the rubber match that on the steel piece remains to be seen. Always with the negative waves...aua

Right side is done, the left and fronts need welting/rubber attached, each about 30 minutes. The bolts attaching the outer fender to the bed side need trimming, that takes well over an hour. Minor paint touch ups and the gas tank cap. We have a cup of pre-mixed paint on hand and a half...

I use a clip-on chuck with a pressure regulator set to under the recommended pressure for the tire being inflated. I used three hoses to move the inflation from anything of value. I did two 16x8 split flange wheel mountings today off an M37, didn't have a cage so the tire-wheel assembly was...

No, the "noise" is radio frequency noise since the electric motor driving the wipers is a brush type which can emit radio frequency noise. Normally, you don't hear it on your AM/FM receiver but with some military radios, it can be a problem. Ever see the arcs and sparks from an electric hand...

4k is steep for that condition, even with the aluminum wheels. Good tires are more important than aluminum wheels. I would replace that missing compressor with a home-built special, I can find a 2 Hp 208 volt motor for $185, a belt drive 6 CFM compressor is another $100. If the switch is...
