Mr Waller, you do that and i'll be the next one to do it! Think about it guys, it can happen ANYTIME...even if you have new wheel cyls! I have been tossing this around for a bit with Craig from the Museum. It would benefit all of us if there were a kit to convert these pigs! There is a dude on...
I worked for Kawasaki in the early 80's. There were several military version bikes and trikes. The KLT was a big, heavy pig and it was militarized, the KLR 250 and 600 and the KZ1000P was also militarized...never saw one, but we had the microfiche on them.
I went to the Penske rental yard a week or so ago. There is a 404 with a radio box on it sitting, buried in the yard next to Penske. I asked about it and the guys there said they had been there 10 years and it is in the same spot......Great, another truck to try and recover. How can I hide it it...
I agree, read the appropriate manual first. I have a bleeder you can borrow. You'll need to decide if you wana keep it mil. silicone or change it over to civi stuff...the two don't like to mix. PM me if you need help.
Diesels don't make vacuum, there's no restriction in the intake...carb or throttle body baseplate. Is the noise a solid squeal or a chirp or loud tick noise? Is there any oil leaks at the front, rear or between the heads?
If it stays at the "F" with the power off, the gauge is junk. If it slams over to "F" when it is powered up, could be a failed sender, a short to ground in the circuit, a poor connection..Wrecker is right, these gauges lie big time!
Old style will have what looks like a flat button head in the above mentioned spots. They are like on a car, a pin and keeper. If you have the new style hardware, you'll see 5/16 nuts in the above spots.
In the TM section, there is a manual for the AN/VRC 3900. That is where the behind the cab mount is listed. Mine is there as well, it is a bit tall, it hits overpasses if not tied down.
Tire changing. How to properly and safely raise, support the truck, remove the spare, check the inflation, R&I the spare and stow the "flat". It would suck to get out on the road and not know how to do that. See attached pic. That happened in the middle of the desert. There were 2 or 3 flats...
Could be high resistance grounds or the starter just full of dirt and junk. They are simple, take your old one apart, give it a good cleaning and lube the linkage and then re install it to see what happens.
