I did chew the driver out- but I'm not going to charge him for any parts. As was said, I chose to drive it home without fully diagnosing it first. I did the simple thing first- I replaced the thermostat. It became obvious that was not the problem, only AFTER I got off the interstate. I was on...

I know Bubba, it doesn't make much sense. But the temp gauge doesn't seem to be working right at all, so I'm not trusting it and will be changing the sensor and possibly the gauge. The TM says that's the first thing to check, water pump flow. Next is to do a pressure test of the cooling...

I know, keeping my fingers crossed it is a 'simple' fix. I suppose I could have a blown head gasket too.

Stampy, very sorry to hear that. My condolences. I'm sure we can hoist a few for you!

Not for good I hope. Yesterday, my driver was returning from Charleston, SC to Winnsboro, SC (approx 120miles) with the empty M967 tanker. At mile post 176, he noticed the oil pressure had dropped a little from its normal running warm place (around 60psi) and the temp had gone up. He also...

If your a diesel mechanic, FIX IT. If you got water into the engine, and enough got on top of a piston to bend a rod, one rod and one piston is WAY easier and cheaper than a motor swap... I don't think it would be worth it to swap the motor, unless you just have to have more power.

It probably failed because you don't get enough flow through it when going into a cecentrifuge.

I know I've had mine at some crazy angles. My old destroyer, the superstructure was designed to shear off at 45 degrees. Us engineers knew we could run the ship, and there were days we tried to get to 45 degrees... I have the clinometer that was mounted in Central Control, and it has a tick...

Jpwilson, In SC you get a yearly overwidth permit for $100. So that's not TOO bad. But for your first MV and all, I would pass on a 10 ton. Just too big, slow, and expensive to operate.

Only if the CTIS is working I picked up a A3 for Headwizard (still have it) and the tires had to be filled manually- and 4 of them would go flat in 2-6hrs. The other two have stayed up for months.

I sold my m146, a month before I bought my xm818. aua I really wanted to do the same thing to mine, but really needed the cash at the time, and I didn't have a tractor... Maybe one day I'll get another. Great looking trailer, can't wait to see it finished!

You can lower the pedals down fairly easily, that's what I did. grind a groove in the pedal shaft, loosen the set screw, and lower it to the new groove, and retighten. I had the same problem with my legs until I did that.

I know several people who would like to get ahold of it! If you want to buy it, I will drive up and help you look it over, and help you get it home.

Well Blazer Boy, come on over! PM sent

I would bet its a ground issue

I had the same problem. I took the return line loose at the injector common return line, and took the supply line loose at the heater, and looped it back and hooked it up to the common return line. I see no loss in power, and in fact, my fuel heats up way faster this way. I will fix it...

It's a bit of a ride for you, but not as bad as for me!

Looks really good! I would just swap the whole fram if you can find a decent one for cheap. Much easier. Man, all this MKT posting is making me crazy! I want to start cleaning and fixing up my MKT-75 so bad. But with no money and my wife running taskmaster over me, I can't do it until other...

Yeah but oh the PM you would have to do on all the journal boxes! But it would get the job done. See thread for steam powered deuce. If I ever get enough free time and money... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/66150-water-power-deuce.html Again, anyone going to...

I'll have a mini rally at my place so all the SC folks can do a meetngreet. Not sure when though. What works for everyone? I was setting up my brewery last night... hehehe And plenty of places to sleep in the barn. lol There's over an acre of horse pastures (no horses or horse droppings)...
