Please give it a look if interested, ad runs for 15 days. Thanks, dg

5-ton injectors have one hole. 2.5 ton injectors have two holes. The fuel delivery is different and so in the spray pattern, among a hos tof other things. The 5-ton engine also has differnt pistons, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY different "oil squirt" piston cooling nozzles to keep the fire deck...

That's a cool website, those pictures have a very eerie quality to the them..... Absolutely. One wonders about the affiliation with a "Mental Health" group. Maybe we are not a nuts as some say... dg

Yep, different mirror-image items for L & R. The usual problem is the little spiral spring that keeps the strike plunger out. It gets a beating, as it compresses every time the door is opened or closed. If broken, it can let the inside handle go to the "lock" position all the time and you...

Take the good doctor along to South Bend for that hernia...... dg

The only way is to research with poeple where it was used last. Not where you bought it, per se, but track down the last users and go there. PIA, with little to show for your time, but that is virtually the only way. Sometimes you can get an idea from layered painted data on the bumpers or...

Check this out. Current photo I believe. Need something? http://www.opacity.us/image3820_front_to_back.htm Jeez! dg

I've run both on my 5-tons and the Goodyears give better service for me. The Michelins wear quickly into a "lumpy" tread pattern, front or rear. Then again, keep them all. 8K miles makes for a reallly old tire on a tactical. I have done a little mod to the newer type 10X20 milspec wheels and...

The problem is the 855 CI block (which this most assuredly is) won't fit under the hood of either the M39 or 800-series trucks...too tall. I've seen it done, looks really odd with a channel cut into the hood. The same problem exists when putting a Jake brake on the Cummins 250. dg

Pistons. Piston cooling nozzles. Radiator capacity. Timing. Turbo. Injectors. Fuel pump. Air cleaner capacity. All are different between G742 and G744 engines. A number of dueces inherit 5-ton multifuel engines, with marginally better performance. The main problems are overheating...

No, it is just the vent system occasionally gives grief. Seldom. Just a thought. Fuel gets into the MC. Brake fluid gets into the engine. I've even seen gas in an M37 distributor 'cause the owner didn't capiche how the plumbing was supposed to go, and the thing burst open. Recently we had...

Good advice. I did a sale some time ago to an old boy, and didn't hear from him for 6 months. Seems he had a heart attack and went through a really tough time in a coma. He did get ahold of me afterward and was lucky that I have a lot of land to set things on without crowding me out. Ask a...

Manufacturers don't even keep that data for MV's, as they were never sold with that elusive MSO, or "Manufacturers' Statement of Origination" that averything sold on the free market comes with. Sort of a "birth certificate" for cars & trucks. Except for MV's. Army trucks don't have them, as...

Howzabout get away from specialty or defunct suppliers and more into mainstream? (if any MV was ever mainstream). dg

As a general rule, N/A Diesels don't turbo well in terms of cost return other than emissions work. Similar engines with really efficient turbochargers are designed that way from the initial day. Sure, you can tag a puffer on anything and run it. Rodders do it all the time, but they are not...

6.2's are a lot like AK's. They all shoot, some shoot straight... dg

Maybe not the culprit, but take a look at the master cvlinder vent system. I've seen them go goofy and pump BF into the engine intake system, with a lot of white smoke. Usually caused by a problem in the air-pac. dg

Don't forget the "C" suffix, denoting a dropside bed. (At least on cargo trucks) i.e M35A2C dg

They make shade, too! dg

Agreed muchly. One piece wheels are a real PIA to fix yourself, and I don't let anyone else work on my MV's. dg
