    PNW Info Thread!

    When you get down here, maybe we could do an impromptu display for them. And if they ask what we charge, we don't, but we do display for food. :-)

    PNW Info Thread!

    There might be someone in the vehicle community available, but the Senior community will be in competition with JBLM AFD and the Bremerton AFD parade. They should maybe talk with the activities director and have them take the bus to JBLM for an excursion. I am sure that MWR would work with...

    PNW Info Thread!

    take a look on line for historic or vintage vehicle insurance. There are a few that advertise in some of the MV magazines and they have pretty good rates. But if you are using it for a daily driver, you are probably out of luck.

    No More Political Avatars or Signatures or Slamming!!!

    Thank you for keeping this site on track on this issue. I have not been here that long and did not know it was a problem that means that you have been doing a good job keeping it cleaned up. Or possibly I looked an a potentially offensive post and went on to something else. Bottom line is...

    ABN173's Little Project

    this truck came from the Randle area. Saw it peeking out from behind a barn. The owner had bought it through DRMO in 1988. It supposedly ran, but we ended up pushing it on a friends trailer with a log skidder. Got home and got to inspecting and changing fluids, it was the first time that I...

    ABN173's Little Project

    1977 M886. Mechanically it is pretty good, but the over the cab piece has a dent and it could use a paint job. Here is a partial picture from the 2-11 hamburger run. don't have many pictures of it, as it is not as photogenic as the 42.

    ABN173's Little Project

    Thank you for the insight. I wondered because the speedo in my 68 5T has about 1600 miles on it and there are 85 rebuild tags on this truck. the color of the speedo is not the same as the rest of the dash components, so was thinking that they changed it at the rebuild time. the engine and...

    ABN173's Little Project

    Anyone with an idea of when they changed speedometers or hours meters on trucks? Did they do it when they did a rebuild, or on an as needed basis?

    help with starting without Starting fluid.

    On mine I hold it at 1/2 pedal. I too was a novice to the system when I got this truck 3 years ago, but once the sequence was figured out, it started down to 20 degrees this winter with no problems and no preheat or ether. You should find a Drivers manual TM for this truck and read the...

    M38A-1 Fuel pump problems

    If you have any rubber lines in the fuel line setup, they could be failing and collapsing under pressure, which causes a variety of poor running problems. Also did you change your oil before you put the new pump on, so that you know it was the new pump and not leftovers from seapage from the...

    help with starting without Starting fluid.

    Every truck is different and you have to find the combination on yours. turn on switch, let it set for a few seconds to build up fuel pressure, give it about 1/2 throttle, hit the starter, crank for a few seconds. If it doesn't start. Let it set for 15 or 20 seconds and hit the starter again...

    Nice truck. When you do get around to painting, it looks like they did a nice enough job on the red to make your painting life a lot nicer.
