I guess some perspective is needed.
When we first started doing this thing Mullins didn't want our "new" military vehicles at his WWII show. He and his people had turned several of us away from even parking at his event in our Vietnam era vehicles. So, Lincoln got us in with the offroad...
Well, the M715 is always a hit at the museum and ready for a trip.
I can’t afford the 4.5 mpg to drive the Gasser M35 there.
The whistler M35A2 has a mis I think is a blown rear head gasket so it isn’t coming Unless I get some unexpected free time to repair it.
The M1009’s are ready to go as...
Fair enough. You wrote that the injection pump had been replaced by you. Did you line the lines up even or is the pump to one side of the engine line a little? If you turn it one line width to the drivers side. You won't cause any problems and probably get a performance pick up. Not much...
Injection pump timing might gain you a hair of performance. But, as has been written. Once you get to where you are pushing the pedal down further and nothing is changing. Just back off to where you can make changes and keep it there as the speed goes down. If smoke is coming out of the...
Welcome to the fun. At the top of the page there is a tab labeled "TM". Open that tab then click on the very first thread called "TM's for the CUCV." Then open the one that ends in -20. Appendix F of that manual is a complete very detailed wiring diagram for the entire truck.
The CUCV...
The CUCV wiring is very unique but once you get in the zone of concentration and pay attention to it. They are really kind of neat. I had to think about what you wrote in CUCV instead of regular wiring language.
The front battery is charged by alternator 1 and that 12 volts is what runs the...
There have been several threads on this site of people putting 6 lug axles under a M101. Lots of people have put regular ball hitches on as well. Expedition Portal seems to always have threads about changing axles on M101 trailers to match up to wheels on 4runners and Jeeps too.
I had the same issue at one time. Pull the in tank pump and verify the screens on it are clear of crud. Then go through the other 3 filters again is my suggestion.
For sure don’t scrap it. We need a little more information and or some pictures to be of much help too.
This thread will probably end up getting move to a different part of the site as soon as a moderator reads this.
Thanks for the offer. My filter housing is ok as far as I know.
I plan to leave things alone and see what my mpg and driving experiences average out to. But, if I need to make more changes the direction to look right now is for a Banks 6.9/7.3 turbo. Bigger and with a wastegate.
The CDR valve deals with oil consumption and venting the blow by back into the incoming air charge. It has nothing to do with starting the engine. You can pull the intake manifold off and the engine will start no different.
