How was the inside of the fuel pump on disassembly? Looks really great all clean, rebuilt and ready for install. The baked on dirt, oil, grease, gasoline is like a type of finish all its own. With old carburetor, fuel pump nos kits I use a little talc or baby powder on gaskets meeting surface...
Welcome from the St. Louis side of Missouri. The Show Me State. The parts are out there, you just have to have a beginning a middle and hopefully it will never end. M216CDN while parts are getting harder by the day its not over yet. After all as you will see just on the forum the iron that is...
You know rusty I typed that all out and thought with dot 5 how could there be rust and canceled. But then You reminded me of the Human Factor. I think now I would pull the master cylinder and replace, period. Could be sucking water in caps or seals.
If these are like leaf spring u bolts are some what like I have mine made at St. Louis Spring, made to any measurement I give them or they may even have the specs on hand.
Very Reputable Operation, Professional. Spring packs made to order, or rebuild yours also.

Just a couple Questions? Have you tried clear fuel line from pump return to pump return hard line in front of engine to check for bubbles?
On my diesels I run a 5 and 1 micron Wix filters with water petcock on bottom of the 5.
You also said that The black particles are in the fuel. I dump fuel...
Well with 5 different trucks all different purposed I would say the 1008A1 in
1 year, 500 miles. And that is using it as a truck. I just picked up a crate engine
with it just to exercise the seals.:D
What an adventure for sure. Patience and diligence to make the trip to the end.
You do know the old acronym? SNAFU? I am glad you made it to the Finish!
Now to prepare for your NEXT ADVENTURE OFF ROAD TRIP!
Rebuild kits, parts are out there. I am sure that parts cross reference with other units. Do some screen work and cross reference. If you can rebuild yourself you can save labor cost. Is it worth having a spare? Sure, and even if you do not yourself use the unit you can always sell and recoup...
1 Patriot, I may have entered into a previous Death Match thread over ownership of Military Vehicles, Equipment. Just playing devils advocate. Nothing personal.
I have chosen a few examples of government repossession. "If" the Fed requires its former property back, then yes the Gov can and...
Yes they can actually, that is why Their are Courts.
Are you looking for reaffirmation of ownership?
Do you remit a mortgage? Or do you Own your home?
If an owner of property free and clear of a mortgage, does not pay taxes on, how long do you think that you will own such?
You have the...
The Federal Government can legislate whatever they like. As the President can also with a signature.
Gold recall of 1933, for one but a little off topic. Ask any Native American about taking back something that has been given. Manifest Destiny
Can the State or Federal Government reacquire that...
I have to say that Tanker Combo of 155mm has to be one versatile piece of equipment.
And to be the Driver and then have a Shotgun Man for Backup, well a lot there to get Wet about.
Well not being an electrical engineer, I have been replacing Fried wiring on equipment, vehicles for, 45 plus years. Many problems arise because of type of usage, whether hard usage, mild, or hardly used. ALL wiring has its limitations. Type of, gage, are primary factors then design of...
My exact thought also. If the engine still has the rope seal either it has been replaced or it is original to the engine. Sometimes I just add more hemp if when I take off the valve cover and the engine is clean inside, I just make room and repair or replace. Not something a novice mechanic...
This is exactly some GREAT advice. No doubt that putting some weight in back will help give a better ride, especially on your back and kidneys. At work if we are going over the road to another location we load the machines with material in the buckets, scrapers, payloaders, backhoes, haultrucks...
Good Luck and be patient with the Big Iron.
Take your time and do the simple things first, reading manuals first, then fluids and leak prevention. A lot of helpful tips, and try to educate yourself a little and research manuals and the archives as much as you can to help understand the...
Yikes that tanker USAFSS has to be the largest tanker I have ever seen. USAF runway rescue supply vehicle, or Forest Service? Wow is the truck only equipped with one pair of axels? I am going out on a limb here but maybe dry chem mix with water, foam, two tanks combined? Still a lot of weight...
