You may find installing the injection lines on the IP is much easier on the bench, then dropping the assy onto the engine like a big SPIDER. You have to crack the lines at the injectors anyway to bleed.

Upper left is service stop and service marker in one lamp. Lower left is blackout marker. Upper right is blackout stop, lower right is blackout marker.

Hmmm

Get a really sharp chisel and with one whack the rivet is sheared off.

I always thought all MS fuel gauges had the same electrical values regardless of era. Before you buy stuff, double check the grounding of both the gauge and sender.

Rwh will tell you it’s best to replace those crusty old IPs before you get stranded somewhere. No point in opening it.

There is a mil troubleshooting guide available. The system is very reliable as long as you replace the ancient selenium rectifier with the newer type with discrete diodes. The system makes a cool growling sound. The cables are out there. If you have the selenium rectifier and it fails, the...

My guess is that the china made sender does not have the proper resistance values. On mine, I ran a backup ground wire to the sender since the tank is somewhat insulated sitting on those cushion straps.

So you gonna drive it back?

What Diesel engine does it have? Does it turn over? I have a monster like that and the engine is full of rain for decades, not sure why I haven’t scrapped it.

Recall that the engine in these started life in 44 year old M915s, so it’s possible the starter is ancient too.

She’s a beauty. Does the volt gauge go to zero when you push the starter? Fuzzy what crank inhibits do these have? I think none other than the Allison controller being in neutral. Check the starter for bad connections.

Army had these 6x4 Paystar dumps back in the 70s. 400 Cummins with Allison. Maybe you can find one that isn’t trashed.

Mine has the arctic kit heater control there.

917s are going on 45 years old and never got overhauled. The Cat transmission cannot be relied upon. As far as high cy dump trucks, there are no real military options for something that doesn’t need a huge amount of upgrades and overhaul.

I love our hometown oil field equipment company, but S&S was lucky to design all 4 wheels the same size on these trucks

Is your transfer shifted to HL or is the linkage adjusted wrong. HL on hard surfaces makes for squirrely handling in curves.

My comment is directed to post # 21. I have no advice for you since you say reblasting is not an option.

That has to be the worst advice I have ever heard, to purposely let a freshly blasted white metal surface get rained on. In my world, rained on blasted surfaces get re-blasted so the expensive paint is adhering to the anchor profile, not crappy ospho.
