Did you try unplugging the noise reduction wiring and plugging the original harness into the wiper motor? Whatever those three deals are to reduce radio noise, drain about half the energy going to your wiper motor. Makes a huge difference. Glen

Oh... If I was off, I would just cruise down and go with you. Then we could tow her home if she broke. I love those recoveries, solving the on road problems to get home. Keep us posted!

I never get the vandalism, is it a random act or a jealous one? That bites, wish I could help you out. Glen

Maccus is a great guy, I really enjoyed my time with him and his lovely bride. I need to get back up that way, when the weather is not quite as rough as my last visit. Glad all is well. Glen

I also cast my vote for a M105. Glen ooops... wrong image...

We have a few old Macks running around and they can cloud the streets for several blocks. One of our local trash companies has five or six running around. They are not hard to spot coming in the twilight.... 8)

Mine does and I had not thought about that. Did yours have any other symptoms? My truck is running great, normally gets 10 or above in fuel mileage, unless I never leave town and idles smoothly, starts instantly, never runs like it is flooding or over fueling, it just blows copious smoke under...

Karl, Your M105 left here in good shape and good hands at around 1100 our time, yours too... It is on the back of the trailer, tongue on the sloping rear deck. Should be an easy pull off of there with a loader and chain. The bed cover is stuffed about halfway into a card board box to keep the...

That is what I run on the highway, around 45 mph. I guess I spent too much time reading the what is it about 2650 rpm thread and do not want the slot in my block. I know if I run 2200 to 2300 on the road it clears up,you can still see a smoke shadow, but it is not bellowing smoke like it does...

Speed versus RPM calculator plug in 4400 rpm 1.1 4.56 15.5 loaded radius... 31 inch diameter and get 89 mph 4000 would be 80 and that is screaming for a 6.2

Just fire her up at the BBQ, back ground music and skeeter control all at once. 8)

Filter looks new and the tubes are clean. The filter minder does not indicate anything, yet.. Thanks though, it is the little stuff I always miss. Glen

I agree it looks white with the sun on top of it. I have seen enough of it in the mirrors to know it is indeed black. I never have hit the governor, never had it close to the governor if it is 2650. I never have turned this engine over 2400, rarely hits 2200, I usually shift around 1800 to...

That is a strong running 6.2 to drag that truck up there like that. I was just waiting for the big bang.... I know they can spin up there pretty hard, never saw a M1008 at 85 before.... I guess I am gutless. She was a screaming though! Glen

It typically runs on the low side of 180 degrees and that is about 30 miles from home, I am sure we had her warmed up. The temperature is rock solid, never fluctuates after warming up. The video is the same hill, I just crested it, went down turned around and came back. They were shot not two...

It is all black, that was with the sun behind the truck. The second half was the sun behind the camera or first half east bound, second half west bound. It does not use any oil that I can tell. When I checked it this morning, it was the same as it was when I changed the oil. I never have added...

I recruited my brother and we went out and shot a video of the deuce climbing a local hill. After reading threads on exhaust temperatures and fueling rates, I have been a little concerned about mine. It smokes on idle, it always trails smoke when accelerating. The rpm in this video is all under...

I have read someplace that some of these military engines were set at 4400, which is outrageous if true. I can see where a non-mechanically inclined person would just keep the hammer down to see what it would run, regardless of the consequences, partially because they do not know or realize. I...

I agree with the above, 65 is about tops if you like your 6.2. If you consider it a throw away engine and junk like a lot of guys do, then 75 or 85 is right down your alley. I usually run indicating 65, both of mine are off to actual speed, actual speed is around 58. Good enough for me, oddly...

That is about where we consider top speed for our M1009s as well. I drove one home from Salt Lake City in two days at 60-65 mph, it was a nice trip, beautiful country out there! Glen
