Usualy the only reason those box filters leak is because of the "water in fuel" sensor and "o" ring that comes with it. You may have a different situation, but I would check that first and then replace the sensor & O ring. The leak would be in the back of the bracket. A lot easier than making...

Sorry, don't have an answer for that one. It's been a while since I played with that one. Bruce

I screwed up and put too much oil in my 6.2. How much is too much? I am guessing I put in about a half quart too much. Yes I did do a search but nothing came up. Bruce

Ok, if you are like me and a little slow on the uptake, do the following: When you first sign on you will see the tool bar at the top. You will see the tab that says forum, but you wont see the tab that says donate. Just click on the forum tab and when the screen refreshes you will see that the...

Thanks Jason, Do you remember how much you paid for one? Bruce

I have 12.00 R20 Michelin XML Radials on 10 bolt rims on my M54A2 and am running into seal problems due to the condition of the rims. I would love to buy nice new rims or fix the old ones, but that will have to wait until I have a lot more money. It says on the tire that it can be used with...

Hi Ron, In this case, I am sure it wasn't a mod by the military. This was done by a blind welder with DT's One day I am going to take detailed fotos of some of this guys work. The welds do hold, I can say that for him. Bruce

Hi Bjorn, Yep, it will happen in stages over about two years if all goes well. I have to fix my body first so it will be up to the task. Still trying to compensate for a nerve that died that goes down my left leg and effects my balance. It is really embarasing when you trip and fall on your...

What kind of milage are you getting on a heavily loaded M54A2. I am trying to budget for multiple trips and it's 451 miles each way, so every penny counts. Thanks guys/gals, Bruce

Thanks Ron, I updated the poll. My truck is a hybrid and not a true M108. It is an XM211 with an M108 AW crane on it. Actually I am not positive that the AW crane came off of an M108, but I think so. The crane itself was modified and has a 21 foot hook height. I managed to bring the XM211...

Isn't there supposed to be a filter in the hydraulic recirculation path, or am I thinking too much. If there is, where is it supposed to be? I looked in the manual, but I didn't see any mention of one other than the strainer in the tank. Bruce

Doesn't anyone use the chain to steering wheel with padlock? I thought they all came with one, but maybe I was just lucky. Bruce

[thumbzup] Wouldn't have a truck without installing a solargizer. Bruce

I have an M108 crane bed mounted on an XM211. I have the truck in running order and licensed. I am now working on getting the crane operational. It was modified to have a 21 foot hook height. It has a manual transmission with a hoky hydraulic linked clutch. Bruce

I would think you could install a pair of winches in the forward bottom corners of the bed just underneath if you can find room. Add a ramp made of conveyor rollers. Bruce

Thanks Jake, That helped me a bunch too. I have the geared wrench but never knew about using the large handle as a reaction bar. Bruce

Thank you very much! That's what I was hoping the solution was. Bruce

What is the best stuff to flush a differential with that has not had its oil changed in over 10 years? Also, can I do this procedure without popping the cover, or is that not a good idea. Any coments are welcome, and I did try to search for stuff, but came up empty. Doesn't mean there is...

Very cool! Did the jacks come with the shelter, or did you add them. I would really like to add that feature to mine so any details would be very much appreciated. Bruce

Thanks guys, My only concern with the preasure treated wood is that it has a tendency to react with the galvanized steel. So make sure your bed has a few coats of paint on it, or stick some old inner tube rubber to the bottom of the dunnage. Bruce
