Hello I just bought this old engine in the wood crate (partial rotted) with the numbers in the title. There is no turbo on it now and I don't think it was removed although the heater was removed. I'm curious if this engine is exactly the same as a LDT only without the turbo or is the compression...
From the title you can tell I don't know exactly what to call it. I need to tie down the shelter in the back of my M1028. I don't have the bar that runs across the bed that provides those 2 anchor points. I think I have everything else except the cables and turnbuckles. I would really like to...
The air pack was frozen and the brake pedal was rock hard. I obtained a used air pack and installed it, built a power bleeder and bled the brakes. After bleeding I had about a half pedal without air. I started the truck and built up pressure. Still had the same pedal at first. I turned off the...
I had to replace the brake booster on my new to me truck and I caught the fluid in a plastic bottle when I disconnected the lines. The color was an amber yellow. The truck does not have any notices saying to use dot 5. I poured some dot 5 into the amber fluid I salvaged in the bottle but it...
I have a Deuce in my driveway that I drove home a few weeks ago. The tank fuel pump was not working so I got a new one thanks to gimpyrobb. I put the new pump in the tank and before I started it I drained the filters. I cracked open the incoming line to the primary filter and it then drained out...
The pump wasn't working so I pulled it out of the tank and it will run if it is laying on it's side, but once it is tipped up even only a small amount it quits. This is with the pump removed and only the motor running in it's frame. Any ideas how to repair it? My searches have come up that they...
HI,
I just brought home a M149a2. I've read here a little about cleaning and sanitizing with chlorine, but I've read online not to use chlorine and I don't want that taste or smell. I certainly don't want to damage the stainless tank and I'd like to remove the iron water stains. I also wonder...
My search says the antenna bracket is held on by riv nuts. Three of the 4 bolts have spinning riv nuts. I'm not familiar with these fasteners. Can anyone give me some ideas/tips on how to remove the spinning bolts so I can remove the bracket?
Thanks
Hi everyone, I removed mine about 10 months ago to clean the mice nests out of the ducts and clean out the control box and the actual heater unit. Now that it has taken me so long to accomplish this I can't remember how the control box fits under the dash. The heater unit is mounted under the...
This truck is not home with me so I can't experiment. I took some pictures of the battery box, but it was getting dark so they are less than good.
The truck has a 24 volt starter and the rest of the truck is 12 volts. It has 1 solenoid on the starter and what appears to be another solenoid in...
Has anyone have any info on these blue trucks that I have seen used by the airforce? What engine and trans and gearing they came with? Any history about them?
Thanks
I bought a 91 Chev half ton 2wd pickup for the banks turbo on the 6.2. It has the 700r4 in it with low miles, but the 6.2 is seized because it blew an oil line. Is it worth it to save the transmission for my M1009? What would I need to do or parts to find to bolt it to a 208 or a 205 transfer...
What may work for 1 M1009 not necessarily will work for another. I've been trying to find the right tool to remove the spindle nut. I have a 4 pin socket that I have used to remove the nut on a different M1009 but my daughters M1009 is a 6 pin. Other threads mention a rare spindle nut and one...
My daughters m1009 has sat for over a year and now that she started driving it again a brake problem has developed. I have searched but didn't come up with a matching problem. Idling it can have a good pedal but moving the pedal can go soft and reach the floor in a stop. The soft pedal can...
I'm selling some of these (new ones)and the buyer wants to know the width of the tire after its mounted on 9.00x20 deuce rims. I think the height is 43.1". I need the width.
Thanks
Heres what I have a3 axle under a a2 box. The HMMWV tires stick out past the fenders and so do the CUCV wheels (M1008) and tires but not as much. I'm wondering if 16.5" dually wheels will fit over the drum. I have tried 16 in dually wheels and they don't fit over the drum. The dually wheel would...
Please help, I have searched and could not find the correct part number for the surge brake damper on a M101a2. Any manufacturer and the associated part number and I believe I could then cross reference it.
Thanks,
