Rebuilding a 6.2 or 6.5 is no different than a 350 Chevy. Any close to you competent machine shop can do it.

Wow amazing, you still have 1950's tires on it, those clips are bead locks that replaced bolt together combat wheels. In the 1960's, the Army quit using those, meaning your truck has been left untouched for a long time. You have/had the 100 amp 24 volt charging system, used to power the radio...

Very nice condition. Mine was orange when I got it. Looks like you got a Saturday with a putty knife ahead of you to remove all the yuck from the frame.

How heavy is the box? The M109 shop van boxes are stupid heavy. That one looks reasonable.

Hard to believe, used to be these storms had to trundle all the way from Africa, this one popped up next to Cancun and 2 days later WHACK!

Tell us about “new injection pump”. Was it freshly remanufactured? It could be defective if it’s been sitting around forever.

Suggest you take the seal to Motion Industries or your favorite bearing house. They can “back into” a part number based on dimensions.

When I first got my M38A1 in 1980, it would stall like you are describing due to the float needle getting stuck and flooding the engine.

Welcome and that is a nice 4 man truck you got there. Good luck getting the paperwork sorted out.

By hydro you mean hydraulic lifter? Sure they can make noise but not out of the intake that I am aware of. Usually popping noise in the intake manifold is due to a valve issue.

It slips over the wire in the bell shaped rubber shell.

I think you have ignition timing issue. You should be able to fully rotate the ignitor from retarded to advanced, the engine will go from struggling to sounding good to struggling. In the video it sounds like it is struggling.

MTP is a highly regarded remanufacturing outfit from Many, LA. My 6.2 had water in it when i got it, for many months. I only had to sleeve one hole due to pits and most everything cleaned up.

Hmm. Suggest you check for spark right after the stall occurs. Need to determine if ignition is to blame. Also, the ignitor should be positioned as shown in the TM, with the power connector pointing down. I think timing being way off can result in your low vacuum issue. Roll the engine to...

Usually I would point you towards carb flooding but the filter you installed should prevent that. I’m assuming you have no black smoke and typical sputtering associated with the float needle getting stuck open and flooding the engine? Next I would investigate the low vacuum. Try disconnecting...

Damn that is nice. Google “K-60C signal corps” and it comes back as “van multi purpose”. As you can see the data plate lists the chassis as CCKW-353, not CCW-353. Did you buy the Studebaker in the background as well?

Well someone built that, not saying that is a bad thing, just understand CCWs were cargo trucks built especially for line haul on the Red Ball Express.

Me I do. 6X4 CCWs were cargo trucks only, are you saying you have the K-53 radio van on the back of yours?

Cheapest option is to rebuild what you have. You might only have to sleeve a few cyl bores due to rust pitting. Bottom end should be ok. Nice clean truck you ended up with.
