Of course, spell it "gauges" and get a different set of links....

Could be an air leak in the fuel system or even a pinched fuel line (check the line below the radiator in front....

Congrats! Glad to see the rare ones saved.

The vaporizer shown in the TMs is all you will need, vapor of methanol is taken in by the compressor and mixed with the (if any) water in the air system. The system uses about a pint of alcohol every 1,000 miles or so in my experience....

Chuck, try using the "Audio Input" terminals on the VIC-1. It has a 6,000 Ohm input impedance and the signal is amplified within the 1780. I have used it for a CD player.

Thanks Kenny.

Anybody know where to find one of these kits? Part number? Thanks.

Chris, I salvaged the battery box from the parts M925 near here, my intent was to use it as a tool box for the xm757, but it's all steel and very heavy compared to the aluminum used so extensively on the 757...if you can use it, its yours for $50 plus shipping (pick-up?). It does have some rust...

Keep in mind that when used with the VIC-1 system, there are some 30 connections that must be in perfect conditions for it all to function correctly, most if not all contacts are gold plated (including relay contacts). The accessible contacts may be carefully cleaned with a pencil eraser. Check...

Yes, it was specifically designed for the truck and has a 1:1 ratio. The small increment 6-speed Allison eliminated the need for a separate "LO" transmission ratio. I can give you all the specifics if needed and may even have a lead to one if/when you get to that point....

I put over 17,000 miles on my deuce over a 2-year period with thousands of highway miles loaded to the limit (32,000 lb gross with trailer across the Rockies for example). It still starts and runs beautifully, but has developed a knock and low oil pressure as a result of FDC and IP problems...

The army elected to stay with the multifuel for the, then new m656/xm757 series of 8x8 5-ton trucks, so the advantages must have outweighed the (operator) problems. Continental did add some design changes, though, a 5th piston ring and tighter tolerances to give it a higher governed rpm...

Dave, all 500 were built in 1969, there were no others except experimental ones used by Ford and at Aberdeen (APG). Most are still in European scrap yards, the rest retired from Ft Sill...

That's great 54, I made him an offer for the bed, but if you can take the whole thing, it's yours (sermis permitting)....

Man! It looks like s/n 004, one of the very first ones delivered.

Yes it is an m656, I'd love to have a bed in that condition.....tailgate an all

Sent you a PM...

Save it by all means...a very rare vehicle, only 500 built.

Are centrifugal filters practical for fuel, is there enough pressure to spin the "rotor"?

There is a vacuum gauge sold to check the vacuum on the outlet side to tell when it's time to replace the Dahl filter element, so perhaps they will work even better if they are installed as per instructions. For the Racor filter, an excessive pressure drop is the indication of a spent filter...
