Will be going from Johnson City Tn. to Sav. Ga on I26 and I95 Sunday Morning after a funeral in my pickup truck. Got to haul A## so can't stray from interstate.
No trailers
No 2,00lb 5tn engines
No last min warning and waiting for hrs on you.
Gott'a fit in the bed of my Tacoma.
Cost? Buy me...
+1 on the spare fuel filter!
Tough trucks when maintained. I'd crawl under it and check the U-joints and give 'em a squirt before heading off. Seems like owners (and GI's) always forget to lube those puppies!
Just standard fluid checks and a look over should do it.
The rubber connector is toast and about 1 inch of the wire near it so I have my fingers crossed. I have some long pieces of wire that is good with the ends so I'll replace that one and guess I'll find out. Probably a month or two from firing it up. Dreading buying batteries($$$)!
Resurrecting a M151A2 with a 60amp gen. The truck's been sitting for 10-15yrs but with the hood closed. 1/4 inch of dust and old pollen but no rat nests. I cut the old belts and the gen turns but with just a hint of "scrunch" noise. Spin it up or flush it out with electrical cleaner then...
Bouncing down the trail in a duce will make that lil' sucker pop right on out! :jumpin:
Lots of 2 1/2 and 5ton eye candy at the rally to drool over, come on down! :drool:
Tigger, I'll bring my combat life taker, I mean saver bag if need be.
Here's the problem. M151A2 is getting close to paint stage. I want to paint it 4 color merdc red desert scheme but the green vinyl top is gonn'a look weird. I've got the paint already but wonder if there is a flex and adhesion additive I can mix into the paint to paint the vinyl?
My 6.2 stuff is gone.
Still got that burner.......... :D
Gott'a pay for the gas to get to the rally!
Did find some very nice tacometers/hr meters(just a few hrs on one) and some gauges in the garage, bringing them.
I've got a few more new cucv 6.2 injectors, some still in the wraper and some not and a new 6.2 fuel pump in the box. I'll bring them. (cheap)
New MKT burner M2A, never fired. It's got just a little corosion on the end near the valve, nothing major. It's missing the little handle that is...

Aggggggh! Got to get that head gasket in!
Someone there has to let the wife drive a M151 so I can convince her it's not a money pit! :sad: LOL!
It's gonn'a be her MUTT for next yr's rally if I get on the ball. I retire early next yr so I can devote some time to it but that includes $$ and...
Outbback FX2024M inverter/converter (google it) 2,000 watts of power!
This thing runs on 24V and puts out true pure sine 2,000watts of 110ac or run 110ac into it and it'll charge you batteries and keep 'em topped off. Rain and bug proof, durable and tough as ****, weighs 60lbs so it would cost a...
