    2018 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade

    Derek, Put me down for a coleman stove please. I'm sure it will find a home on my National Guard M984A4 for times in the field and my buddy wants to use his percolator to make coffee. See ya there, may buy other stuff to once I get done swapping tires Friday. Joseph

    Valve lash adjustment

    Look in the manual to find the valve lash specifications, read this old school advice to figure out which valves to adjust. All 4 cycle 6 cylinder diesel engines I have ever messed with are adjusted by looking at thier companion cylinders. They are always 1-6, 2-5, 3-4. Always add to 7. If...

    Official 2018 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 17-21, 2018

    Is it time yet? Welder1 and I will be leaving out of Albany, Ga on Thursday morning. We plan on linking up with PCTrans at exit 101 off of I-75 in Cordele, Ga and pushing onward from there. The past few years we got to the rendezvous in Cordele around 0800 and make it to Durhamtown around...

    starting question

    It sounds to me like your truck is slightly loosing prime. I would check the in tank fuel pump by loosening the bleed screw on top of the secondary fuel filters and having an assistant switch the truck on. I would also check the connections from the fuel tank all the way to the injection pump...

    General Non-Sense would haul those scooters with his trailer to be nice! He's in for another round!

    transfer case fill cap ??

    I fill mine with a drill powered pump. Makes it a little easier than using gear oil bottles.

    LDT Head seepage

    I agree with Gimpy, re-torque the head bolts on the passenger side and run it. Mine seeped in that location as have countless many others. I can't find the link but it got to be such an issue that the Army quit requiring replacement and released a bulletin in their internal P.S. Magazine...

    M1083 from Ft. Benning to Winston-Salem, NC

    I'm sure PB can store it for a fee. If he doesn't want it taking up space on his yard, I'll pick it up and keep it in Leesburg, Ga which is about 90 miles in the wrong direction. Since you're deploying, I'd only charge actual fuel amount used and storage is free. I'll even PMCS it and run it...

    LDT-465 loss of power

    I would start with fixing the fuel leaks. On the hydraulic head you more than likely will have to remove the line just below in order to hang a wrench on the one that is leaking. I always start with the lower most line and work my way towards the block on both sides. Sounds counter productive...

    5 Ton engine start need help at a lost

    The relay box you replaced is likely the PCB or protective control box located on the driver's side firewall with a huge cannon plug connected to the bottom. Let's go backwards just a bit and start with your batteries. In a 1983 M939 series truck they are likely located under the passenger...

    USMC diesel motorcycle sold on GovDeals. 2003 Kawasaki KL650-A17

    MWMULES, I checked the Pubs sharepoint site while at work today. No manual currently exists electronically or on paper for these motorcycles. It makes me wonder if they ever existed as manuals tend to stay on that site for years after the equipment has been "purged" from inventory just in...

    Simp's M923 Big Cam Repower

    Clint, Get two of those hats. I don't have the dog yet but I'd wear that in my 5 ton and make Jerry Reed Proud!

    USMC diesel motorcycle sold on GovDeals. 2003 Kawasaki KL650-A17

    Information for those who are looking for these, I had an entire 1 acre bay in a warehouse of these. They were mostly picked up by local Sheriff's Offices in the lower 5 Eastern States since they can get surplus for free. They hang onto them for a year and are free to do what they want. If...

    air assist working?

    Piggybacking off what Porkysplace posted, you would do yourself a favor to inspect / service the entire braking system on the truck prior to doing much else with it. This includes removing all the wheels, hub/brake drum assemblies and inspect/adjust/replace any questionable components. A dry...

    ?whistler

    I installed a muffler on mine to protect my kids hearing but I absolutely loved the distinct sound of my Whistler. I went 190 miles each way to a few GA Rallies and it never bothered me. I put the muffler on while my truck had a D Turbo on it and I could hear a little bit of spooling. When I...

    ?whistler

    Try searching, I've seen multiple threads on id'ing the two. Basically if the exhaust side housing narrows considerably along it's diameter, it's a whistler. If it doesn't narrow much, it's a d. I put a whistler on my truck because I liked the distinct sound but some don't like it for long...

    Spots of fluid on my tailgate

    Yeah, what happens is a vacuum is created at the rear end of your truck as it goes down the road. Fluids get sucked onto your back bumper and tailgate if they are present in the airstream.

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    John, glad you're safe and in place. If you get bored or need help, I'm just 90 miles up the road northwest of Albany, Ga.

    92 m998 wont turn over. wait light and volt gauge are not working

    No smoke indicates no fuel getting to the injectors. Try these steps. 1. Loosen the flat tip screw on the top of the fuel filter housing located behind the alternator on the driver's side of the engine bay. While wearing safety glasses, have an assistant crank the engine and watch for a...

    izzug, This was your truck at the 2016 Leesburg Christmas Parade, I even sent you a T-Shirt afterwards! Just being silly, I couldn't make last years Christmas Parade but my better half told me you drove the MTV all the way down, participated in the Parade and rolled hours back north to...
