While you're at it don't forget the pickup tube, don't know if you small truck folk have the same issues with steel tubes that we do....:ROFLMAO:

Troubleshooting a Pesky Power Steering leak on my M813 Gave the engine bay a good degreasing and power-wash and finally found where my power steering was leaking. Over the winter I had the truck leaning slightly toward the drivers side and the fluid puddle gave the impression the pump itself...

Installed a 5 Ton Series Keyed Ignition Switch from Big Mike's Motor Pool. Actual installation time was about 15 minutes, it took me longer to set up my cameras. This was not in response to the recent theft of a 5-ton, reported on this forum. I believe the 5 speed Hi Low Millennial Theft...

Did you check your pickup tube? Had the same problem with mine turned out the pickup tube was steel and had rotted out.

Rebuilt the Primer Pump on my M813 and eliminated another possible source of air into the fuel. The O-rings were shot, wasn't pumping and there was no vacuum. Then during disassembly, I compounded the problem by crushing the cylinder tube with a pair of vice grips, take care disassembling, the...

Hagerty on my M813.

Hmmm MsgtJD perhaps?

Agreed on the ride, just one test drive of my 813 had me hooked. They're also easy to wrench on. The engine bay isn't chockablock full of parts, everything is reachable and the mechanics are straight forward, in a Frankenstein's monster sort of way...just BIG! So far I haven't had any major...

One of the previous caretakers of my rig put this pressure relief valve in. Just a tug on the cable and the tank drains then shuts off automatically.

I cobbled one together from straight copper pipe soldering in the old threaded fitting.

Which wiper assembly are you using? Can you post pictures?

Installed new Blinka Relay which fixed the problem

Am I supposed to be able to turn on the Parking Lights and Blinkas with the Battery Switch off?

So what's the common denominator on steel tubes? So far it's just 5-tons from the 1970's to 2002 (if I'm reading TomTime's post correctly) Does this mean all 5-ton's have steel tubes?

Installed a new fuel gauge after testing the sender wire from the tank for a short. Although I don't know the ohms rating for the sender, found a setting on my meter that showed a signal from the sender and demonstrated a difference in readings with my weight on and off the truck. Replaced the...

I'm curious, my 1976 M813 had a steel pickup tube in the fuel tank. Mike Virili at Big Mike's motorpool thought it was "kind of odd to me that steel was used...Most of this stuff would have been copper in the fuel tanks, but it could have been changed out by someone who used what they had to...

Welcome from Central Massachusetts.

What year is your rig? I had the same problem with my 1976 M813.

Replaced the fuel sender this week with mixed results. I was able to save the old gasket and all but one bolt came out without having to drill, although I did replce the bolts. There was definitely a lot missing on the old unit. At first the gauge worked but as soon as I climbed aboard...
