    802 had a substantial fuel leak

    Hopefully not it was listed out of Abilene Kansas. Is it the same one? The line off injection pump rail had some large cracks. The video looked like a large volume of fuel.

    T P 17 stenciled on PU-797a

    Thank you. I felt the same. If the military labeled the trailer fender it would be the equivalent of an order. Then the pu797 didn’t mention it. So I thought I would ask.

    Mep 802 torque values

    I have finally purchased an Mep 802. I have gone through the tms but have been unable to locate any information on what to torque things at. I am going to make my own muffler gasket this weekend. If it’s not in the tms what value should I use. I know the saying “cross threaded is tightest”.
