Make sure you PM the truck thoroughly prior to leaving. Check everything. Take tools with you and extra fluids. Stop frequently and check tire pressures, etc. In case of difficulties along the way, ask for help on SS. I have enjoyed similar long recovery trips. Waynesville, NC is a...

You need to add the M38 to you Signature List!

I think you did real good with that find, assuming the price was right. It doesn't look like it would take much to finish that project.

Here is a copy of the wiring schematic for an A2. Hope this helps.

I made a ~70 mile trip in my M35A3 today, dropping off a load at the Transfer Station and picking up a load of plywood at Mountain Building Supply n Blairsville. After arriving back home and letting the engine idle to cool the turbo, I noticed that I had a small stream of diesel fuel pouring...

Your cover looks quite good. I have a M105A2 with the solid green vinyl cover. I'm going to try the same thing. First I need to get some tears repaired. When I got the trailer from Fort Riley, the cover appeared to be new. Unfortunately, a bear decided to see what was inside and tore off...

Likely it was split from freezing water. When I got my M149A2, both the rear and front faucets and a brass T were split and had to be replaced. I found the faucets on Ebay. The front was NOS and ~$35.00 and the rear was NOS and ~$25.00. I've seen the rear faucets on Ebay off and on for...

You can place a 4 X 4 across the doors and use a jack with an appropriately sized and shaped board on top of the jack to push up large dents. However, if the metal is stretched, it will likely come back down, or if you push up too much, you will have a hump. It was not uncommon for GIs to...

I've done that a lot, moving equipment around the country. I've mostly used Mayflower, but I suspect almost all of them will do it. I have saved a lot of money shipping things when I have done this. They like a full van and even a little revenue for the space is better than nothing. If the...

When I shut down my MEP003a, I first disconnect the entire load via my 400-amp manual transfer switch. I don't reduce the load in the house prior to shutdown. I then let the genset run with no load for 10 - 15 minutes to let it cool down and then shut it down via the switch. I never reduce...

Erik's Military Surplus has them for $90.00 http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/vehicle-electrical-parts.html. The starter relay on a M35A3 is the same as on a M35A2. However, are you certain that you have a faulty starter relay? Have you confirmed that the starter relay is faulty? As I...

I have an original military paper copy of the TM 9-1005-245-13&P manual, dated December 1994. This manual covers the M122 Machine Gun Tripod Mount, M3 Machine Gun Tripod Mount, M66 Machine Gun Mount Ring, M240E1 Flexible Machine Gun Mount, M142 Machine Gun Mount, 6650 .50 Cal Machine Gun Mount...

It's normally not that hard to check glow plugs if you have an ohmeter. Make sure you use anti-seize with copper on the threads of the new glow plugs to assure good electrical contact.

You can try looking at data tags on things like axles, transfer case, transmission, etc. If you see a lot of tags dates with a specific year, it is likely that the truck won't be any older. In most states, it is fairly easy to get the year changes on titles if more information becomes...

I checked out my MEP003A, manufactured 07/92. It was wired the correct way. Thanks everyone for the information.

This is very good information. Thanks for posting!

Welcome to the site. When you turn the master on, can you hear fuel splashing into the tank from the return line? Can you hear the lift pump in the tank running?

Very nice looking setup! Congratulations on a job well done.

Would it be possible to put a flow-meter on the line?

Since this M151 is located in the UK, it is doubtful that it has been de-milled by cutting, unless it was imported from the U.S.
