    brake pedal

    Mine does the same thing. First stab at the pedal, goes to a mark on the pedal shaft that comes up thru the floor, about 2 1/2 inches from the floor, the brake lights come on when it's almost to that point. Any time after that, the pedal is only 1- 1 1/2 inches from the top of the stroke and the...

    XM757 details

    But smoke is a good thing. That means it runs! No fuel tank is a problem. Will the tank from the 656 work? Shipping might not be too bad if there isn't any in the USA.

    numbers and letters on bumpers???

    Is it possible that the 310th IS the 310th Psych Ops out of Fla? If so, why would a truck based in Ca. have direct support of a unit in Fla?

    M816 power questions

    One more little thing to check. There should be a little knurled knob on the fuel shut off valve, the one the wire is giong to. If the coil is swolen, it will cause low power and hard starting. With the engine not running, turn the knob in, 'till it stops, you might need to use pliers. Start it...

    Engine Swap

    Too bad you're 3000 miles away. I know a guy who has 5 or 6 multi fuels sitting on shelves, but, they are less turbos.

    Engine Swap

    You can't use the words sweet and V555 in the same sentance! Expensive when it brakes and V555 is OK. If you're around the Los Angeles Area, Look up Larry Fyke. He's THE 555 guy.

    Whats the secret for split rims?

    OK, I'm a tad ...how you say...SCARED TO DEATH.. of split rims. I can handle standing 5 inches friom an engine making 600 HP, but the tire thing wigs me out. Is it safe to stand on top of the tire, with no air in it and pound on the tire to take it off??? Is the only dangerous part airing it up?

    M816 power questions

    No, it's not normal. An 855 will start with 0 throttle in most any weather. Heres my best gut feeling from 3000 miles away. You have almost no smoke wuth a PTG pump that is fresly rebuilt. still have low power and hard starting with new filters. The only thing else I can suggest without spending...

    Hard to start.

    Try doing less gas and more diesel. I get the same thing if I put too much gas in mine.
