I had some cold starting troubles when running too much oil. WMO is heavy fuel oil. It's used in ships and other large slow engines. Heavy fuel oil is getting very expensive. And oil recylers are selling it for fuel. I'd rather burn it in my engine than give away for free to someone else for fuel.

I think Jwaller is right. Most of us run what ever we can find instead of diesel. WMO has been a wallet saver for me. I've burned a few thousand gallons already with no problems. And at these prices probally saved close to 7K$ in fuel cost. I can get two trucks for that price. There is lube...

I know this post is old but with oil breaking $140 today we might need to figure ways to increase milage. I just finished some turbo and intake mods trying to increase air flow, not boost. I'll post milage results soon. What things have yall done to increase milage. And what results did you get...

Is there any way you could post a pic? I have one for a humvee that looks different. Mabye it's the same as the CUCV?

Thanks wyane.

I tried searching this because i thought it was covered before. But did the CUCV's have pioneer tool racks? I'm looking to put one in my M1028. Where were thay located? Behind the seat?

I used the relocation heat sink from ssdiesel supply. I also pop the hood when i get home from work, espacillay if i've benn running the A/C. This PMD has lasted 2 years now. I was planning on getting a cowel inducon hood and trimming it so engine compartment air can excape. Mabye next year when...

If the LDS ended up with a "C" turbo that would seriously bring it's power output down. It should have the wastegated turbo on it. Witch will wistle just as well. But move alot more air.

Mine does the same thing. I have to run the preheater to get it going. And it takes two or three trys to get it going smoothly. I haven't change the filters yet. But i will soon. It only has 600 hours so i don't think it's wore out. After it's hot it starts easy. i'm looking for the filter...

How clean is the power from a MEP 003? As in will i be able to run electronics with it? Or only lights and motors and such? I'm planning on using it for power when the next hurricane shows up. Does anyone happen top have the numbers for the filters? Thanks

I keep fuel extra fuel filters in the glove compartment. I've had the primary plug far from home. I've noticed the same cold starting issue. If i'm running too much WMO the engine will take a while to start when cold. But once it's running it runs great. I'm planning on pulling the injectors to...

Looks like a bobed truck doesen't get any better milage than a stock truck.

Keep me posted. I haven't ran the beach in a while.

I'll chime in at $100. Although they are starting to get harder to come by. Seems everybody likes the "C" turbo wistle.

The problem with gas is there is alot less BTU's per gallon. You milage will suffer alot. Although you will be paying less for gas. You won't go as far on it. Not to mention the loss of lube for the injector pump. You can burn gas. But it's a emergency fuel. Look at the alt fuels section. You...

There is also more wires for the transfer pump from the passenger side fuel tank. And some others that i haven't figures out on the firewall. I think they go to circut breakers.

I've ran into the same problem restoring my M52A2. The wiring harnesses are not the same. I replaced the one on my M35 and have a diagram for that. I'm lucky there is another multi 5ton at the museum that i'm using to trace wires.

More than 30% might give you starting problems when the engine is cold. Filter it as best as you can. And keep extra fuel filters under the seat. When they clog they never do it close to home.

Transformer oil will work. I've tried it myself. But as always mix it with diesel. I can see using it to help reduce fuel costs. But not as the primary fuel. I've had problems starting a cold engine when i mixed too much oil on the fuel. But after it's warm it runs fine.

The D will provide more CFM. But not much more PSI. It has a larger compressor wheel and will provide more airflow at much lower turbine RPM. But if you need more power. Increrase the fuel rate. You won't believe it's the same truck.
