Ok Folks,I'm kinda new in this aera so bear with me,
I just pruchased a XM 211 that I now have running,BUT It only has foward and reverse in LOW range,an it does not want to shift up in LOW either just stays in First. When it is put in HIGH range it seems to go in gear( the engine stalls down...
Went this weekend to pick up the M211 I purchased from Ferro some time back,I must say the trip went flawlessly,only 1 minor fuel leak on the M54( repaired easily).But I will let the pics speak for themselves.
The total trip miles add up to 290 with 52 gallons of fuel burned which equals 5.57 mpg.
I got the M37 I got from Ferro running today,here's a few pics.
BTW,the temp gauge is not correct,it seems to be grounding somewhere,it flips to 240 as soon as you turn on the ACC switch.
Just thought I would post a few pics of the white M54 getting the injector pump timing reset.Found by analysis that it was firing about TDC vs 29deg BTDC.
Posting a little info about a local event,This is a yearly thing for me,hope to have a few from here join in this year. This is held in the small town of Newton,NC just east of Hickory.They close down the town square and about 4 block in either direction for a classic car show and at about 5...
Ok folks,here's the deal,I got the chance to take the M51A2 dump out today for a short test drive.NOW according to the data plate the multifuel powered 5 tons SHOULD have a direct 5th gear VS an overdrive Right?
Well much to my suprise,when i shifted the lever from 3 rd up to where 4th should...

M62A1 progress
I finally had some time(and good weather)to work on the M62 some this weekend,the truck itself is in really good shape mechanically and physically.BUT,evidently(after looking the truck over and talking with David Doyle)It seems the Mack conversion was done by a N/G vs a Depot...
Well folks,Cabell,myself and a buddy of mine are leaving at 8 am in the morning to go pick up Cabell's M813,My new(to me)M62A1 wrecker and my M54A1 cargo that I purchased from Aera 52.It's not looking like the weather is gonna cooperate with us as the forecast is calling for showers Thurs and...

Quite possibly this has to have been my easiest MV recovery so far.The only snag was the stuff wasn't at the specified location, but was supposed to be there by 11:30,but it wasn't :roll:.So I ended up eating lunch and walking around Lowes for an hour wating.But after 12:30 the trailer showed...
Went today and picked up the M109 van box from one of the recent operations we purchased at work.No,I did not steal it from a curch or disaster relief agency,It just looks that way. :mrgreen: Kenneths truck did great,it's a real screamer,didn't even notice Black mountain at all. BTW,this van...
