    Air up to shorten start up time?

    Option b is fix your leaks. I maintain a M1079 for FD and it holds 100 psi for weeks.

    Looking for Recommended Transporters for Tracked APC

    Oh you need United States of Freight for that, needs to go on a drop deck shared load with other cargo to get a rate around $2/mile. USF understands Army crap.

    Detroit Diesel

    Oh no don’t junk it. Fuel system on Detroits is super simple, a gear fuel pump driven from an accessory drive and 6 unit injectors actuated by rockers from the cam under the valve cover. Either must be leaking into the engine. Pull the valve cover and run it and see if you see fuel leaking.

    M1089AO with transmission issue.

    Lots of us have had great luck with transmissioninstruments.com. The guy will diagnose for free and not charge you if your controller is good, which in your case is very unlikely.

    How does the m1078 4x4 work?

    Did you press “mode”? Sorry to ask the obvious.

    Question from a new guy

    Easiest route is probably getting a “shopmade” trailer title, technically that is incorrect but nobody will care, correct process is to do a bonded title.

    What year is it, REALLY?

    That number is not related to the VIN. It is an internal number at the manufacturing plant.

    OIL PUMP REMOVAL L134

    Yes with the distributor pulled and engine at tdc #1 fire position, use a flashlight to look down the bore at the slot on the oil pump, repeated stab it until you get it where is needs to be for the rotor to point at #1 tower.

    5 Ton Rims and Tires

    Use search term “caiman” for info about studs for those wheels, that is the MRAP they came off.

    A Guy, a Dog, an M1083, and 2700 Miles

    Pretty sure that’s the truck Berand got stranded in with a blowout and posted here needing rescue. Better check the remaining tires for age over 8 years. They will blow out too.

    Help identifying...?

    The Christmas lights and the Red Cross are previous owner add ons and I’m not talking about Uncle.

    1964 USMC M38A1

    Welcome. Without a doubt Kaiser built these A1s from scratch. At the time, CJ-5s were being churned out in Toledo so the minor tooling changes needed for A1s would have been easy. Rebuilds were almost never done on manufacturer’s assembly lines.

    Need help with the evolution of 5 ton trucks.

    My 10 cents: skip the ancient 5 tons for cross-United States adventures. Get a MTVR from California.

    She’s a beauty! Love mine, drove it everywhere back in the day.

    2000 M1088A1 w/3126 no start

    I would grab my voltmeter and soldier b and have them press the start button while I measure for voltage present at the starter solenoid and relay.

    M1161/ M1161 Drive axles

    What does that cross into, like a 4x4 Explorer?

    Educate me on the dump...the M929 / M930

    The mil dumps are well suited to hauling stumps and brush with the tailgate configured in the rocker mode.
