I'm a no-go this year. Moving that weekend.. of all weekends. :cautious:

Don't forget good fuel lines! Every truck has cracked lines from surplus these days.

I found replacement steps in the 9-2320-272-24-2 Page 3-1022 but I didn't see rebuild steps for the dryer itself.

Time for a full rebuild or replacement. There's a few options in the parts cheat sheet depending on how are you want to do with it. Here's the cheapest service kit i found with a quick google search. Ebay link Air Dryer COMPLETE UNIT "Air Plus System" NAPA/MIDLAND/HALDEX MBI DA33110X...

The axles can take the power but getting it there is a different question. The transmission on the M809 would be your weakest link. Plenty of people have swapped in Cummins 290s easily. Getting up into the 300's+ requires reworking engine mounts and other modifications not to mention a 400 BC...

The task itself is relatively easy, take it step by step. It doesn't need to be timed or anything. What you will need is special wrenches or make your own. The bolts that keep the IP attached to the air compressor are in terrible spots, one on the back in particular, and Cummins designed a...

You can pressurize the fuel tank to 5 psi and open the bleeder nut on the back side of the injection pump. It's closer to the radiator and 10mm. Be gentle with it when tightening it. Push fluid until it stops bubbling.

Obtained two Oshkosh FMTV A1 contract submission vehicles post demil. I was able to document them some before their cannibalization but now that they're in good (safe) hands maybe one will run again.. one day.

It sounds like you have an A2 truck. Replace the soft fuel line between the primary fuel filter and the lift pump. If that doesn't solve it then inspect the lift pump (could have failed push button), bad fuel lines near tank selector valve (if tractor, dump, or wrecker), or in tank hard lines...

The M917 dump can haul up to 20 yards of material but they're a rarer truck to find. They have a unique transmission by today's standards (CAT 7155) which has little to no commercial support and known problems with age. The Big Cam 400 is a strong engine and axles strong too. The issue falls...

Make sure it's not the troop alarm or cable making the buzzer go off. It's usually attached to the head board of the bed and is known for this issue.

Everything GP has listed or soon to be listed is a hold over from last year. Uncle Sam does his annual audit and DLA/DRMO stops releasing items early December until about this time. There may be more FMTVs but equally not since GP is the lowest priority on released items and FMS (foreign...

It's all internal on the IP at that point - gummed up that is. It's just from the truck sitting and the new style diesel gumming it up. Yes, forcing Marvel Mystery Oil or a blend of your choice to hopefully free up the internals. I've had luck once on a really stuck pump by clamping off the fuel...

The 8.3 suffers from dry rot fuel lines, stuck fuel shutoff, and (if a tractor/dump/wrecker) bad fuel tank selector switch. These are your most common problems. As of the past two years I've seen a large trend in stuck IPs for this engine due to the fuel and lack of operation. There are a few...

Having shipped multiple items form Hawaii I can sum it up: transportation is high, Hawaii is very aware of MVs on public roads and has banned them for non-residents, port/ship regulations about leaks is high (and MVs love to leak), also rust. So best to window shop and buy state side unless it's...

Hey.. would you grab that for me while you're there.. aww never mind. rofl I'll go grab it next week or something.

The new owner is going to hate to find out those are Chinese doors. :censored:

SF-97's are magical and wonderous in the sense that they are never consistent nor can you peek behind the curtain to see how the sausage gets made. They do owe you a full title as you paid for. They should be frequently reminded it's owed to you. The question for you is do you know if your HMMWV...

The item will say "parcel eligible" and they will charge you what ever they decided on check out. If not, you must either pick up in person or schedule an LTL freight carrier for pick up.

Finally! A solution to backing these things into a parking spot. :p
