    startup issue?

    Was looking at that fitting the other day and thinking about doing that to mine, but was sure my pump was toast and didn't want to lose prime so I left it be.

    startup issue?

    That sucks. I was hoping it would be a simple fix for him. Well, simple being a relative term here. Even an in tank pump swap should be exceedingly easy here.

    startup issue?

    Roger that. I figured it would pull fuel by itself just fine, didn't think about cavitation. Was just stating what was happening with my truck and a non functioning in tank pump.

    Sweet! Time for a spin around the block!

    startup issue?

    If you are getting foamy fuel with the engine running then you have a line sucking air somewhere. My in tank pump does not work, but if I crank it up with the secondary filter air bleed screw open I get a solid geyser of fuel about a foot tall. I know this because I did this all including...

    Under-Hood Insulation

    Well yeah it's just a deuce, but that doesn't mean you can't polish up the ol' turd. And just to be clear, I used flex seal and it works ok. If I were to do it again I would use a product made for the specific application. Purpose built products will work a ton better and they aren't that...

    MRAP bumper on a M923a2 has anybody done that or seen it

    Mount it up, or find a way to mock it up to see how it looks. If it looks like crap just take it back off. I'm kinda curious to see what it looks like.

    New Owner, M923a1, Need some direction

    I have 17 of these trucks in my yard right now. Every one of them I drove about 100 mile home from where I got them over the past couple weeks. Almost all of them have that jumpy feeling when they shift. It seems to be suspension/driveline flex upon shifting that causes that. Only problem I've...

    New Owner, M923a1, Need some direction

    Just leave it alone if it only has 2000 miles on it. And when you do change it go back with 15w40, like everyone keeps telling you. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Low Oil Pressure

    Could have a piston cooling jet broken off which would bleed off a lot of pressure once the regulator opened flow to the jets....

    Thinking about getting an M35A3

    Get an a3, then sell it and buy an a2. The a3 is inferior and ugly. Only thing you need from the a3 is the wheels.

    M35A2 wo/w maximum safe side drive angle

    Yep, I would be riding on bare plywood long before 50 degrees.

    Under-Hood Insulation

    I assume you used a product similar to dynamat to do the firewall, I used some rubberized spray coating to do the engine bay side of my firewall ( flexseal) and put it on thick. Works pretty well and looks good, cleans up of oil easily. No reason you couldn't do the inside of the whole engine...

    Under-Hood Insulation

    Well what is the end goal of applying the insulation to your truck? You trying to cut down in cab noise, or all around noise?

    "Marble in blender" sound

    Roger that! I just found some rot in a corner of my bed that I gotta fix, so I totally understand.

    startup issue?

    Yep. My in tank pump has started working intermittently and now mine starts this way some mornings. Just bleed the air and it'll save you some injector pump life.
