    Axle Vents: Clean? Replace? Relocate? OTHER Vents?

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...

    fuel problems again

    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...

    Engine ID

    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. Wolf

    No dash lights

    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. Wolf

    Sluggish CUCV- Fuel injector issue?

    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...

    M101A2-A3 Master Cylinder

    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. Wolf

    oil cooler lines

    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! Wolf

    M715 tire questions

    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...

    M1008 axles into a M1009

    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...

    M715 tire questions

    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...

    M1008 axles into a M1009

    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...

    Anyone else own the same vehicle they had in the military.

    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! Wolf

    M656 Ford 8X8 5 ton carrier to buy?

    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...
