If it's too big, I can get it to Leesburg, Ga for free! My 5 ton has a good cover so it'd be out of the weather.

It is possible that you lifted a head gasket. You need to do a pressure test on the cooling system to see if it's leaking down but if it's pushing the coolant out of the tank when running and getting hot, not good. Diesels run very small combustion chambers so if it "did" ingest water it may...

1crook, Dawn, I'm looking forward to giving you a hug, no charge. Lee and the boys will be in late Friday night but they're coming to collect Saturday!

I really wish you would have posted a week ago. I was at MCLB Barstow on a work assignment and drove past that yard twice a day on the side of I-15. I would have made time to preview for free but obviously wouldn't have been able to help with pick up or storage. Best of Luck!

Gary, Please bring it down. I'll bring my required gear to take a quick spin through the countryside on it. I've always wanted to ride one of those. I promise no off-roading. I have a newly paid off Honda CBR-650F and a valid license. Joseph

Andy, I may know where some are at, are you looking for the corner ones? I still owe you for a set of battery hold downs. Joseph

Stock system engages the fan clutch around 220 degrees. I agree with the two previous posters in making sure the stock system functions as designed and add your electric fan as the primary to keep engine temps a little lower.

Silver foil tape on intake and exhaust does not mean nothing is wrong with your truck. Research Mil-Std 3003(B). When we receive trucks, we prepare them for storage aboard MCLB Albany and Barstow and it's a standard practice. We do other stuff as well which is outlined in the Mil-Standard...

My first thought is you still have a fuel delivery / injection issue. Reverse has a very low ratio which is masking the performance issue of the engine. I have a truck powered by the older NHC-250 which is known to be more robust in power at low rpm's thanks to it's huge displacement but your...

We had alot of rain a few years ago and the County Commissioner came to my house and asked if I would mind using my truck for any "High Water Rescue" missions. I asked if the county would help me re-pack the wheel bearings afterwards and was told "No". It wasn't a Flash Flood and people who...

Scott, I have confirmed I have the manuals. It would probably be best for me to upload onto this site as the Maintenance Manual is 32 MB. It's not the typical military themed manual, this one is straight from the manufacturer which may be more helpful for the type of rebuild you are...

Scott, My offer should still be good. I'll confirm in the morning but I'm quite certain I've still got that information on my work computer. Joseph

My truck experienced a similar failure that turned out to be an injection pump failure with the similar symptoms as yours. Mine would start, run about 30 seconds, idle up and stall. After some labored cranking it would re-fire and run fine for a while. I was thinking air in system as well...

I plan to be there with so I can hang out with some friends. Cabin reserved and the truck is ready, somehow he Won the April 2019 MV of the Month Contest. Can't wait until October.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?182614-M1028-Fuel-Issues&highlight=injection+pump Above is a thread on here about my journey in putting a newer 6.5L HMMWV Injection pump onto my 6.2 powered CUCV. Bottom Line Up Front, if the pump you have is calibrated for an N/A motor you should...

I understand distrust of automatic transmissions yet as society evolves I only have 1 manual transmission vehicle in my fleet of personal vehicles. The CUCV you have has a TH-400 transmission which boasts many accolades of reliability. It is not a weak spot and the 6.2 would not likely upset...

I think you've found your answer as to motive power. Now as to your statement of being limited on fabrication skills and budget makes me question why you want to put a manual transmission in. Do you have a currently running truck or is this a brainstorming session?

Eli, If you can't line up a tow, ask what there policy is on Marine Corps Civilians with a Government Issued MTVR License is. I just so happen to possess one for my job aboard MCLB Albany. Joseph

CHIEFSONN, Please post your price on the 50' spools of rubber rope along with the date code and how it has been stored since you've owned it. Mine is coming to pieces on my M923 cover and Yes I am interested and will commit if the price is reasonable and the date code is not too old. Thanks...

I sure hate that I have drill with the National Guard this weekend or else I'd toss my hat in the ring.
