I would loosen the lines to the injectors again and make sure you are getting fuel to the injectors. It's possible that you have a leak in the fuel intake to the IP and you now have air in the lines. If you use a shot of ether, make certain that the glow plugs / heater are cold.

In the -12 manual there is a specific warning about not idling the engine. Why would the military put this warning in place if it wasn't true? 2-4. STARTING GENERATOR SET (SEE FIGURE 2-3). CAUTION Do not idle engine.Operate generator set only at rated RPM.Do not use either to aid starting...

Definitely replace the manifold.

RPSTL means 'Repair Parts and Special Tools List'

I had almost the exact same experience with my 003a. After cleaning the fuel tank, lines and filters, it wouldn't start. Wouldn't even fire. I bled the air as per instructions, and still nothing. I finally loosened all fuel lines to the injectors and cranked until fuel came out of each line. It...

Why would there be any difference between charging two 12 volt batteries in series or each 12 volt battery separately? In both cases, each individual cell is being charged in series with other cells. I'm not saying you are wrong, I just don't understand why there would be a difference.

I have two Canadian Soneil 24V 2 amp chargers I bought from Batterystuff.com for $47.00 each. They accept 100 - 240 VAC input and don't have alligator clips. I got the clips from Radio Shack. I leave the chargers connected constantly to my M35A2 and M35A3 trucks and they keep my batteries topped...

The last I bought was$25.00 per gallon, but he vendor is now out. I should have bought more.

Your suggestion has a lot of merit. DOT 5 is expensive in parts stores, but if one looks around, NOS DOT 5 can be found for a reasonble price. DOT 5 is far superior to DOT 3.

The first one looks very good and almost complete. I would go for that one because I like to keep things original military. You could easily make that truck into a very nice truck. Does it run? Any mechanical problems? If you are required to buy both trucks, I would restore the first one...

Ditto. Also, the engine should start easily if everything is correct. Be careful you don't burn up your new starter trying to start it.

I just discovered that I am no longer on the member map, so I added myself. However, I cannot double click on my icon and get a page where I can update the map.

The Cat engine takes a CAT 1R0658 oil filter and a CAT 7E9763 fuel filter. Both are spin on.

I'm looking for a replacement priority valve. I only saw wheel valve rebuild kits listed for sale by you in the classifieds. The priority valve is the valve that mounts on the right side air tank that maintains pneumatic pressure for the brakes, if there is a major leak in any non-brake portion...

Does anyone know of a source for new or NOS priority valves for the A3? I'm getting tired of hitting mine with a wrench to get it to release. If I can't find a new one, I might try to take mine apart and clean it.

It sounds to me like you may be trying to work on too many things at once, which can provide the opportunity to introduce more problems. If my 003A doesn't start immediately (blowing white smoke initially), it is always one of two possibilities, either the solenoid cutoff has gotten stuck or I...

The Klein voltage tester is a good one in my opinion. Nothing wrong with trying to learn - it's people that don't try to learn that are the problem.

I'm assuming that you know that this fuel tank must be shipped as a Hazardous Material / Dangerous Goods shipment, which requires that the shipper be hazmat trained? This would come under UN3363, Dangerous Goods in Machinery. It can be shipped via truck or cargo plane, but not on a passenger...

You can also use a 1 : 1 transformer with a center tap to get the neutral and the 120 legs when 240 is fed into it. Also, make sure you know how to ground the generator. If powering your house, do not use a separate ground at the generator. The generator should be grounded via the house...

I had to replace one sealed beam recently on my A3 and the connectors are all standard, same as my A2.
