    Bad injector pump but run fine once started?

    I'm stumped, about the only test I haven't checked is the cranking rpm, but it turns just as fast as my M1009. Can I have a bad injector pump if it runs fine after starting with ether? (Yeah I know). If I use ether it will start immediately and run all day, no problems. I have good fuel...

    Best way to check prime?

    After replacing the glowplugs my 6.2 still is very hard starting cranking forever numerous times before it might start. I'm suspecting I'm losing prime after it sits overnight. Do I just crack an injector line? Thanks.

    What is this sensor on top of the transfer pump(primer)

    I'm losing prime, when I use the primer pump I'm getting fuel and air bubbles coming out of the top of this sensor and of course when I finally get the truck started. I looked in the Parts TM, it shows a plug instead of this electrical device. Anyone know what it does and what the part number...

    How hot should glow plugs get, and a theorectical ether system?

    Wondering how hot the glow plugs should get. I decided to check to see if I was getting juice to a random glow plug wire, so I took a wire off one of the existing glow plugs that I believe are all bad. I connected that wire to a new glow plug and held the threads to ground then had my wife turn...

    Not enough message storage.

    Any chance message storage can be increased? surely it doesn't take all that much space. I Don't like having to delete info I might want later from other users I've contacted.

    Anyone modified 2 man troop seats for 4 man vehicle?

    Like a dummy, I didn't even think about there being a difference when I bought them and had them shipped halfway across the country........ I see everything getting jacked up on prices and pull the trigger before I think too hard about it.

    Does the SF-97 say anything about offroad use only?

    I'm thinking about bidding on a HMMWV and make it road worthy whatever it needs, but want to know if the SF97 says anything about offroad use only or is that just the hold harmless agreement?

    Straps on 931A2, cables on 923

    What are these straps on the 931/932 and what are these electrical connections for on a 923 NHC250 above the IP?

    Hand throttle idle problem with NHC-250. RPM's rise after a minute or two.

    My 923 NHC-250 idles fine except when I use the hand throttle. I'll set it say at 900RPM, it will stay at 900 RPM for a minute or two and then start increasing rpm on it's own till it's screaming. Any idea what is causing this and the solution?

    Can someone show me via pics how the IBIStek medium towbar connects to a 5 ton?

    I recently bought a Ibistek complete medium towbar kit and paid a premium AFAIC. I cannot figure out how the towbar can connect with a 5 ton, the ends are 90 degrees off of where it should be? I'm assuming the ends they come with are the proper feet?
