Summery:
First: Vents must be clean. Without investigating which tip of vents are used on you Deuce, try to clean them as a minimum. The hoses also must be cleaned and the fittigs on the axle set that way that spray oil will drip back into the axle.
Second: Relocate: On MV the vents usually are...
The rubber lines between the injectors are just to carry back the leaking fuel from the injectors. Any Diesel engine needs them.
There is an advance device in the injection pump, actuated partially by the outside lever on the right side of the pump (driving direction). If the piston in the botom...
If you are standing in front of your truck and looking down at the engine on the left front side you will found a cast in 6.2L. So the identification should be clear. In the CUCV series it is down below the second altinator.

Dash kight problems are as old as the trucks. For better contact bed the contacts a littel so that the pressure on the film circuit is better. Most the time that helps as long as the bulbs are ok.

Vintage Power wagon sells complete winch asseys for about 2500 $. They say the set includes everything you need to fix a winch to an original M715-Series truck, including frame extentions, front bumper, winch, drive train and operating lever assey.

Your problem sounds like a fuel feed issue. You are shure that your fuel pump works propperly, no restrictions in the fuel line? The fuel charging pump on the injection pump also works fine. The valve in the top of the injection pump closes propperly according to the specs? And you have neigther...
The master cylinder of the M101A2/A3 hydraulic overrun braking device is the same as the CJ2 JEEP. For comparisson bring the original and compare at the vintage Jeep parts dealer (Those who do not ask for serial numbers). At least in Europe there are several sources for these parts.

The oil cooler hoses originaly are supplied by Michelin. Official replacement is not on the market. However, the fittings are somewhat standard. So you can change to custom made hoses at your local hydraulic shop (If they are willing to do the job).
Good luck!

Good choise, Barrman. Your tire change brings your reading in the range of the legal requirements as my choise did, at least for the speed, the odometer in my case is a little out, but who cares for a vintage 41 year old vehicle with 106000 miles on the odometer, out of which I drowe 88000...
I did not read any note that said it is a bolt on job. For me it is clear that some adaptions have to be made. In this context, do not forget the move the rear axle brake power reducer also. Or your rear axle will overbrake. Otherwise you can reduce the wheel cylinder sice of the rear axle by 2...
Egypt made the M715 as AM726 under licence in the 80's with 8 lug 16" wheels. So for the Dana axles the 8 lug hubs are / were available at least ex factory. Found this info some days ago.

9.00-16 are not made officially any where in the world any more. The metric replacement for them is the 255/100R16 Michelin. But these tires are relatively expensive and the profile does not look like anything which has to do with the original one. But it runs and handles much better! The other...
OK, when the glow plug relai does not work propperly,starting problems including white somke are normal.
But first of all, the engine MUST crank with at least 200 rpm to be able to start, the glow plugs may be as good or bad as they whant to be. Below 200 cranking rpm the injection pressure will...
Officially the parts for the 230 Tornado engine are not any more in the books. I tried many source in Europe and the States, including the Big Book as a guide and direct contact to seal makers. If you find a dealer arround that can get still the parts like the seal kits you are the lucky one...
It is all said to this, exept you increase your rpm by about 50 percent at the same spped and you have to correct your tachometer for the diffenent axle ratio, if you want to stay within legal requirements. Add bigger tires f.e. 255/100R16 and the fault on the tachometer will be only about 36...
Getting as collector the vehicle that was asigned to you in the Army is to my understanding better than the first price in any kind of lottery. Congretulations!

I do not want to be misunderstood. 210 HP for 15,000 lbs is ok, gives a good performance. How about with 10 tons of cargo or a fully equiped shelter?
My vehicles are not just new, but I always notice the problems on the Autobahn, when I do not drive with the speed of the modern trucks. They want...
