I'm getting ready to recover 2 trucks. I'm wanting to bypass fuel tanks and go directly to filter or pump and needed to know what size fittings, fuel line etc. Just need to get them running long enough to get on trailer. Thanks!
I scored a USMC M817 and a National Guard M818. Now I just need it to warm up so I can pick them up! -4 degrees tomorrow so it will have to wait a few days.
Added a coolant filter but I'm not sure its plumbed right. I have the filter base INLET tee'd into the heater line coming from the right side front of the motor down low behind the water pump. The filter OUTLET is tee'd into the heater line that's midway down the right side of the block next to...
Just finished this install on my 929a2 with the 8.3L but I think I plumbed it in backwards. I plumbed the inlet on the filter base to the bottom of the water pump and the outlet to the side of the block next to the block heater. Right or wrong? Thanks
I saw a Abbot sell on ebay for what I thought was very reasonable. I would have bid if I would have known some more about how hard it would be to get it out of Canada. What are the rules for getting something like that into the US out of Canada? What are the Canadian rules for selling one of...

I have a BMY 929A2 dump truck. The directional signal switch light comes on for left/right and hazard but doesn't flash just kind of dims . Is the turn signal flasher bad.
My M817 is leaking oil out of the top of the transmission! Pretty sure its coming from the bolt that screws in horizontal under the shifter boot as it was screwed out about 1/4". What is this bolt?
Just got back from my first recovery, a 1974 M818 converted to a dump truck. Truck was in good shape and road ready. I even made it down to visit Rodney in Marshfield WI and he set me up with some nice 14r20's on combat rims. Glad to have her home and in the shed after 650 miles.
I'm looking at a M817 Dump that already has Michelin xl's super singles with the split ring wheels. Should I be leery of this tire/wheel combo for a 700 mile trip? The truck has an original tire/wheel for the spare.
