    m813 speedometer

    You will probably have noted that the hole is actually square further down into the recces, But, odds are your (only just) too short cable is not reaching down there. We have encounted that problem from time to time, Re-route the cable or (as I have done many times) shorten the outer, which is a...

    Engine sound - don't like what I am hearing - Help me diagnose

    I would check the injectors, pull and have them tested. (you can loosen each one in turn to check (if (which are not firing the engine)). after that, could be the h.h. or pump.

    What is this cable?

    It probably does not go anywhere on your truck. As you found items scattered about from previous transporting, It would seem to be just another dropped forgotten item perhaps?

    Universal Joint M1009

    Glad you received and fitted the correct part ok. Next time if you have this problem, just go to your local bearing supply factor, with measurements or the originals and they will most certainly replace easily those U.J.s (for metric equivalents) easily.

    Military humvee crashes on n.j. Turnpike in chesterfield

    Last in the convoy, It happens sometimes when impatient drivers try to "run" a long convoy and meet oncoming traffic. Hope the crew make a speedy recovery, especially the driver who appears to have been ejected through the windscreen on impact with the tree?.

    No brakes
