Hello all,
I also had some problems with the breaker in the three lever switch. On my wrecker, (73m819 posted a pic of it in another thread), I have extra taillights mounted high on the convoy light poles to serve as additional tail/brake/signal lights for better visibility at the rear of...

Hello all,
My mkt-99 has cambro plastic containers for both food and beverages....... I am trying to source some replacement gaskets and vent caps for both and have the following questions:
1) Are the military drink dispensers the equivalent of a cambro 500lcd in the commercial world--...
Hello all,
The other issue that not many people take notice of is the asbestos lining the ducts for the shelter heating system....... Alot of the trucks have had a mod done to disable the heaters and seal the ducts in the expando shelter-- some shelters (like one of mine) never had the mod...
Hello all,
I have basically overfilled every 6.2 I have owned by half a quart (I know about the 7.5 quart thing but its more convenient to dump in the full 8 ...... I have never had a problem doing this and also mentioned it to a master tech who worked at the GM Linden, NJ facility for many...

Hello again,
In my case, the truck will run very rough and almost stall if the valve is not in a certain "sweet spot" (about 1/8-1/4 closed)-- if I push it all the way open, I get the running/idling issues-- hence the reason I though it may have been sucking air (but if the fuel is under...
Hello again,
I realize that insurance, permits, etc will be a proverbial b*tch but I am willing to give it the old college try if it might make me a profit....... As for sinks, I was thinking a pair of the portable surgical scrub sinks setup onsite would serve me well and keep with the...
Hello all,
Quick question--- the 800 series 5-tons all have an emergency manual fuel shutoff valve on the injection pump with a dash mounted handle while the 915’s lack that feature. If I were to eliminate the valve all together (due to a bad seal in the valve causing air to get sucked into...
Hello all,
So, the post about the recent mkt that sold for really big money and the comment that it was going to be used at a Braves game got me thinking--- how can I put my mkt to use for some extra income? For some background, my town has an event each year around July fourth at our local...
Actually, it was my m915a1 that went on that mission because Scrounger could not get the m818 started... to make matters even more interesting, when we got there, we found that the towbar had one foot wth the 1" pin holes and one foot with the 3/4" pin holes -- that in itself would not have been...

Hello all,
So I had the m915a1 on a road trip last week and experienced my first fuel shutoff solenoid problem. Pulled into a hotel and let the truck idle down while I got the room keys-- came out to find the cab filled with smoke and the stench of burnt wiring-- turns out the wire from the...
