Nothing comes out. It took some cranking (as if it had lost prime) to get it running, then it loped for a few seconds and then smoothed out and ran normally with the vent hose removed. I set the high idle and let it run at a guessed 2000rpm for a while. I disengaged the high idle. Then I closed...

Thanks. Checking the oil for fuel should give me a definitive diagnosis then.

So I replaced the soft lines and started the truck. Starts and runs fine, just like it has been doing. This time I expected it to crap out after running for a few minutes, so I drove it in circles in the field. Sure enough, after just a couple of minutes of acting normal, it acted starved...

In real-world conditions you're going to hit the limit on the tires first. I took one behind my pickup, loaded with as many 395's on steel MRAP rims as I could get in it across TX at 80mph without issue.

Ok, looking at the lines coming out of the tank. I've got two soft lines between the hard lines coming out of the tank and the hard lines going forward. This is where I'd expect the check valves to be. Looks to me like someone already deleted them. Am i correct? The larger one shows some...

Hydraulic crimper. Accept no substitute. How long does the cable need to be? I may have something suitable. Yours if so.

Filter and housing were terrible. Makes me suspicious of the fuel tank. Filter is now new and housing was thoroughly cleaned. I got derailed and didn't get the check valves today. It's on the agenda tomorrow. I checked the lines and didn't see any kinks or crimps. Doesn't the fuel coming...

Thanks. Filter housing has already been removed and thoroughly cleaned. @Mogman , the water drain on the driver side puts out an appropriate steady stream of fuel when opened and running. Similar to what's pictured in the Army's video. Thing is, it runs OK at idle and while sitting still...

The M105 trailers are great. But you don't want one. The intended tow vehicle is an air braked M35A2 that weighs 14k empty. The M105 has air brakes and weighs almost 3k empty. I tow them behind civvy vehicles, but you really don't want to. The Jeep crowd drives up prices on the M101 trailers...

Check valves coming out this afternoon. I primed the new filter to the top of the filter housing where the fuel comes out to go towards the IP as I had doubts about the patency of the drain tube. It seemed fine while cranking. I'll be doing a more thorough assessment of that today as well. I...

Sudden onset?

New filter and water separator arrived today. It didn't fix it. For about 2 miles I thought it had. Test run started out great. Drove to the bridge. Turned around. Accelerated. Acted starved for fuel. Died. Started . Ran poorly. Drove 50 meters. Died. Repeated x3. Towed it home behind the...

Btt

Warrenton Mo trip late October

LMTV bed. Looks like M1078.

I've got a couple of these. No idea what would be involved in making them work in a MEP. I've got a 3cyl 26hp Hatz that doesn't have a radiator, and got them for that.

So today a good time was had by all. I was unable to locate my CAT spin on conversion. That simplified choices somewhat. I loaded the toolbox, the towbar from hell and 3/4" feet, safety chain, and took janet's Gladiator and dragged the HMMWV to the driveway. It towed fine, like a...

@RGS20inophir !

My M998 is currently dead on the side of the road, 40 miles from home. This is the M998 that's been all over the country and never had a hiccup. I'm thinking the fuel filter is clogged. I don't know of a source of a replacement that I could get faster than late next week. (Any ideas?) I've...
