The first gen trucks are all mechanical. The cat dealer can make some adjustment and give you a bit more power. On the 5ton versions they have 290hp I believe the injectors are a bit larger as is the turbo.

No there are a lot of them for sale overseas on several different sites. Some with several clear pics of the exact item very specific listings and including European country titles. I just posted a screenshot of one that didn't show any specific seller info.

There is a tm flowchart for low rear gladhand flow. I am leaning towards the tractor valve. Which can be rebuilt. I have a spare I would swap in and then play with the old one.

I don't believe so. I heard they are still cut up and scrapped over there.

They are being exported from here.

There are tons of them listed on the European auto sites. Someone is exporting a lot of them.

The humvees appear to be making their way all over the place especially Europe. The seller here didn't even take the GP bumper sticker off.

I can make you one out of a fancy Mercury marine switch. With an additional switched power lead you can use to control a relay and run accessories off of.

The hose between the big fuel filter and the lift pump is a common culprit. The way that hose sits it can rub thru over time.

So I tried the rear gladhands and they don't work properly. With trailer and brake valve in I don't get service air in the rear when braking. There is a tm troubleshooting action for this issue. Started following the flow chart but ran out of time. I have one more air line to check Monday if air...

Swapped just about everything. The schematic makes it a bit easier to deal with. Had to find it on the net I didnt have that TM. Confusing as heck though. I couldnt find a specific flow chart for troubleshooting my issue though. Looking at the schematic I dont think the treadle valve can be my...

I have a nice 290hp motor out of a 6x6 that would make a nice re-power for it.

Where else can you get a big diesel truck for a couple grand. These trucks are unbelievable deals.

With some batts fluids and a little coaxing they usually start and are fine.

Out of the 3 check valves by the washer bottle, first one was ok. Middle one had a cracked diaphragm. Took one off my parts truck, verified the diaphragm was good and swapped it in the bad ones place. Still have the same problem. Tomorrow I will pull off the last one.

Are you referring to the 3 check valves that look like 3 way splitters? I will have to take them apart and see whats going on in there too.

I have heard of guys adding atf, which is basically oil with additives, as extra lubricant in the diesel. I don't see any reason you shouldn't be able to add a quart to a tankful of fuel.

It shares the same reservoir and fluid. There is a fill hole with little dipstick on the air hyd pump behind the cab.

The tms dont appear to have a complete schematic that I have found. Just alot of flowcharts for troubleshooting.

I dont think the check valve can be installed backwards its male/female. I am wondering if I have a hole in a service brake diaphragm or if air is going thru the treadle valve. Does the tractor protection valve have air supply to it if the spring brake dash control is not released?
