    M105A1 Trailer??

    THAT'S the way to go! My car carrier has electric brakes and I LOVE them! Surge brakes bite the big wazoo!!! IMOA I believe the surge brakes are more a hazard than a solution. BTW, IBZ, Generals only make $120/month here on good months! :)

    newbie got her home!

    Greg and Kenny have hit my thoughts square on! Yes the injectors are under the covers!!!! I advised a hand crank with a cheater or breaker bar. One NEVER tries to pull start an unknown truck because of the damage factor. Save the engine and take your time! I did this with the TD6 I just...

    Will, Convert that sprague to a REB or swap out to air shift. That over-grown boat anchor will ruin the bearings and seals in the hog heads plus mess up the steering linkage between the pitman arm and tie rod ends! This gets extremely expen$$$$ive to repair (voice of experience speaking...

    MVM, There are seveal threads on this site that describe the various locations the year of manufacture can be found. *Be aware* Some information may conflict with other parts due to military rebuilds and modifications, combat action, accidents while on manuvers and so on. If you have one...

    newbie got her home!

    Jason, If the engine doesn't turn by hand completely (a 360* turn) then she's locked. The only solution is to remove the injector and give her another turn to flush out the fuel. Sometimes removing the head is needed. However, I believe with the come-a-part (read trucker's term for Cummins)...

    newbie got her home!

    Another concern is hydrostatic lock. I owned a couple of $emi$ and experienced thi$ fir$t hand. My suggestion is to try turning by hand first. If she won't budge then suspect hydro-lock. An injector can leak fuel into the cylinder and lock the cylinder hard in a day or so under certain...
