I did mine w/Aervoe. No problems yet. Get a scratch or more paint chips off, no biggie, whip out a spray can and touch it up. It's been 6 or 7 months since it was done.

A medium sized Cummins V8, Air compressor and fuel pump down in the valley, and if it's turboed, thats sittin on top of the engine.

Same applies to the V-8 300..except it's not 5 1/2 bore! Fuel system is the same type, just a different calibration.

Nah, 1710 is basically 2, 855s stuck together, 903, same bore as an 855, shorter stroke and a PITA to work on....well i guess kinda the same! Rule of thumb, 150 to 200 RPM to make it start, but they will start with less, just takes a bit longer. If it had a bent valve, you'd hear it. A chuffing...

Sounds like a junk ground connection. Don't use a test light, use a volt meter, Check grounds from engine to chassis, chassis to cab, cab and chassis to bat neg. Technically, they should all be less than 10 ohms, but, 10 will still give you fits. I like to see less than 2 ohms... the guys at...

AM General, Does your 123 have a 903? If so, if the valves were "stuck", they'd be bent now. No room in the cyl. when the piston is at TDC. Check to see if there's fuel out of the F/P at the solinoid. If not, there's a little knurled screw at the front of the FSOV. Turn it in 'till it stops...

Funny thing, I was trying to winch out a bottle brush stump for my neighbor yesterday. 1st time I have put aload on the winch. Had it in low, slowly let the clutch out to take up the slack, stump started to move and the front of the truck kind of squated. pushed the clutch in and the cable...

Thats a BIG sob! Where would you park it?

I am seeing this. Seem like crooks!

Had 29.409 on it when I got it, Now has 30.551...1142 miles in 9 months, uses no oil, leaks a little, have added no oil since the oil change at 29.500. Runs good!

If I remember right, the pictures showed damage to the front. How bad is it in person? Hopefully just cosmetics. The tires look like front loader tires..not highway rated. Is everything else there and does it run?

Yes, my junk was at El Toro DRMO. Then, since GL is technicaly the 1st buyer...no bill of sale from them..NOW I get it! I just didn't understand what the big deal was cause I thought GL was Uncle Sam. Now I see. Bo, PM me, I have an idea!

AMGeneral, Thats the one from e-bay right? What did you end up giviing it for?

My truck was originally given to the Montebello USD, Police Dept. It says that right on the SF97, along with a puschace price of 0$. They never titled it. It sat in their yard 8 years. I got the truck with the original SF97 and a release of liability..not a bill of sale, on the city letterhead...

Do I hear a WEST coast gathering????????

My truck has both, the one left, rear of the drivers seat and on the firewall, just left and above the passenger footwell.

SWEET Mike! Nice lookin truck. I gotta do the sprag in mine so I can come visit you!

Looks like it's full of H2o.

Kevin, do you have a trailer and tractor painted MERDC?

A bearing is a bearing. Easy enough to put up. Considering the pictures i've seen posted here, if you suspect a rod brg failure, drop the pan and have a look or take the filters out and see if there is any bearing material in them! If you catch it soon enough a good polish and new bearings will...
