How do you tell them apart? I got one from Memphis some time ago and it has no markings except for the number 8376530. My old one (from the 8x8, same as the deuce's) has "TOP" and "oz" marked on it. Zipper on the new one is Cad plated (golden) and bigger, the original is zinc colored. The new...

Please, do a "search", you'll get lots of hits, unless you have a very specific question, of course.

IMHO, I think it would be pretty safe to run a hose from a banjo bolt straight back, it's fairly high up and on the 5-ton (LDS) engines, the oil pan is installed with the deep part behind the front axle. Adding a port a little higher up on the side of the pan could turn into a project in itself...

From a previous analysis report, the Lead was only 13 ppm and copper 9. The iron was higher before at 104 ppm. According to the report sheet, Lead is an overlay on the bearings, so they are wearing (obviously).

Yes I did, it was posted in a different thread, but here it is.

To me this is the ideal pump, the multifuel engine oil pump. :-) Mil Spec, it only needs a drive motor, perhaps a starter motor from a small car (junk yard stuff). It can be a 12 VDC motor operated on 24 volts for a few seconds. The mount, housing and motor to pump coupling is all that needs to...

The possibilities.... Hopefully the bearings will be all I need to change. Of course, I have made space on the 8x8 for the crane and it will get one sooner or later.

Steve Turchet has an article on in-frame rebuilds in MVM issue 113 (Feb 2006), I'll be studying it in prep for this project.

You did a lot of driving for one day Clinto, perhaps it's better to plan for a two day return trip in your case. If you can't relax and enjoy the trip then what? I spent a lot of time on the road, but never more than about 500 miles in a day. Cabell must be given a lot of credit for leading the...

Disco, that's a tough one to get out from! Airing down implies floatation and you are trying to stay on top, the skinnier tires are better for penetration to a hard bottom without airing down. If the mud isn't too deep, less than, say 8 inches, use chains and don't air down. If the mud is deep...

Chris, if you end up with an extra unservicable unit, I'd like to take a look at it, if you wouldn't mind sending it to me. Thanks.

Here are the measurements of the oil drain plugs on the pan. It appears to be a 7/8 dia with 20 threads/inch. It takes a 1-1/8 wrench. It comes from a parts engine, that's why the rust.

Wonder if a thousand hours at relatively low rpm has anything to do with worn rod bearings. Over the years, this engine has spent a lot of hours running the crane at 1,000 to 1,200 rpm only. Trucks in the military service may also run for long periods of time at idle. My 8x8 only has some...

Sobering, no way around it. Thanks

I'm certain that the knock is not from the combustion process, it's a mechanical sound more pronounced at the lower rear portion of the engine. All injectors have been replaced without any change in the knocking sound. Miles: 24,310 Hours: 1,460

Hate to bring up my little engine problem again, but I would like to know how close I am to a catastrophic failure. The engine is knocking, apparently on one cylinder only, number six. It has been doing this to some extent since before the California trip, 7,000 miles ago. Before and during the...

According to the 272-20P it is 2590-01-144-8674

All bulbs are marked, what's the number?

Check the status of the "neutral start" switch, wires 498 and 499.
