    Marine Injectors? Does this require a different Injection Pump?

    If you buy injectors, watch the quality. A huge amount of the injectors on the market now are Chnises, and I can tell you that the quality is crap. You may get lucky and get a good set, you may get some that fail in 5000 miles. Most of the "marine" injectors on Ebay are just that.

    M105- what kind of tires are these?

    Looks like the 1100 XL the GAARNG was using on M35's in the last few years. I have an M353 trailer with two of them on it as well, I plan to swap them for NDT's and sell them.

    N00B reporting in from Afghanistan ( hometown Buffalo,NY)

    Sounds like you are in my old stomping grouns in Paktika. If you are at O-E or Sharana I know you are using some of the same junk I left behind. My BN built the road from SHarana to O-E (I can only imagine how beat up it likely is now), and we had O-E to Bermal half done when we left. We also...

    They bypassed the fuel density compensator. In reality they are still multifuel.

    N00B reporting in from Afghanistan ( hometown Buffalo,NY)

    Welcome aboard- and I feel your pain. I was a 63B and 62b before I went Warrant, and my last deployment was Afghanistan with an Engineer BN. Odds are you are still pushing some of the heavy junk I left over there.

    Just put a turbo on my m1028...wow!

    They can handle it just fine. The 6.5 is just a 6.2 with a slightly larger bore, same compression ratio, and they came factory with turbos for- well from 1993 through today as AM General still makes them. It is just like any other issue with the 6.2/6.5 family- have some common sense, don't...

    GA 2010 Rally After Action Report

    I think I have a box with 300-400 of the small plastic name tag holders. let me dig, if I do I will donate them. Heck, if I don't, I will buy some for the rally. A few bucks to help a great event is too easy. Just a thought, but a number of us that have volunteered to man the gate were...

    My possible return to the M/V world! M1008 Question.

    I wouldn't rule out glow plugs. If he had started it earlier in the day, odds are it was warm enough to start without glow plugs. When my 1028 had a bad solenoid a squirt of ether in the morning would start it, and the rest of the day it would fire up with no issues.

    Fresh M1009 recovered from Ft. McCoy--starter in cab?

    Every one I have seen with the starter off either had broken starter bolts or the flywheel ring gear was worn from a loose or badly shimmed starter.

    Stolen credit card info at gl

    You know, were it just a few people, I would write it off as chance. But there are too many here who have been hit the same way for me to not think Governmnet Liquidations info has been compromised in some way. Here is what I do that adds at least some security. I have a seperate checking...

    Hemitt vs. MTV

    Thats the issue- most likely you were never supposed to have a HEMTT wrecker, and the one you had was a substitute until the system sent you the MTV.

    Hemitt vs. MTV

    He is wrong. They are ugrading to the A4 series HEMTT, but the line is not going anywhere. Your MTOE may have changed to give you the MTV. What kind of unit is it?

    Crazy about the new M-ATV

    I had similar issues with the ECM's on Buffalos- I am not going to say too much in an open forum, but I would bet that the problems are coming from interferance to some of the "other" equipment you have installed, especially if you are doing a route clearance mission. IM me if you want any...

    Will these tires fix a M1008?

    Yes- do a search and there are a few members here running them with either minor fender trimming in front or a 2" add a leaf in the front.

    IS THIS BAD? Compression Test Results - Using STE/ICE -R

    Unless your STE-ICE is known to be in calibration, and you are using the exact length hose and the exact connectors called for, I wouldn't trust the numbers. The calibraioin can easily go out on them. Before you go any further get a good mechanical guage and use it.
