Re: RE: Re: RE: Bridge plate cover? Only turned it around and drove it up and down the driveway, Patrick. I take baby steps and enjoy every one, working on the lights now and run the engine every so often to gain confidence. It is seeing it from the front so often now that made me ask about...

BC use an 1/8 NPT pipe plug (brass) until you find the real thing. It can be used as a bleeder valve also by cracking it and then tightening it.

Hmmm..I never had to replace mine... If you have the MS number for it, you should be able to look up the spec. Checked the ones on my spare engine and they are chewed up also.

Not true for a diesel.

Check the spec, you may want to use "Premium Tractor Hydraulic fluid", available at NAPA, Carquest, Farm stores...That's what I'll be using in the 1969 Allison transmission.

RE: Re: RE: Bridge plate cover? "That's the second stupidest looking MV I have seen. The first was that deuce in CA with the Blazer axles." Thanks Mike...Ahum..do you remember the above statement, same basic truck? Just kidding.

RE: Re: RE: Bridge plate cover? Maybe a brown shower cap...

Re: RE: Bridge plate cover? I want one and if they actually existed, I could make one, I suppose. Never seen a TM ref.

Yeah Doggyman, I was waiting for that one. :-) Yellow was used for years, mud makes sense and should have led to a standard issue item...

Reflections in mirrors/windshields can be seen for miles....

Is your pyro installed correctly? If the incorrect length thermocouple wires are used and error will be introduced on some instruments.

RE: TEST LIGHT... Did I give that impression? :-)

Any TM reference for this?

Was there ever a cover (canvas?) for the yellow bridge plate to be used when parked? The yellow draws a lot of attention for a camouflaged vehicle...

Michael, try finding the info you need in this manual, TM 9-2320-209-34-2-1, same basic engine and downloadable from this site. Good luck with the project!

RE: Fuel filter differences Why not pay for advertising, little risk of getting flamed then? :-)

I keep a dip stick for checking fuel level just to be sure. Also check the grounding of the fuel level sending unit, it's grounded via the fuel pump. To improve the circuit, add a ground wire from the sending unit to the frame.

An injector cleaner may help, but it's nothing like a good hard drive to make the engine happy, my deuce idles without smoke (it has been driven) and the 8x8 idles with a lot of blue/gray smoke (has been sitting for years)...
