Sorry this happened. When you get a minute, fill us in on what happened. I bought a parts 6.5 truck that also lost the oil due to the cooler failing after a collision.

I thinks I see armor plate on that one. Gonna be a lot heavier than the wood one I pulled around. I think you figured that out.

Welcome to the forum. Are you using a Novak adapter to mount the T98 to a Chevy bellhousing? I would call 'em up, they are very helpful about their products.

Sometimes the distributor cap insert will crack and let the spark jump out. This is hard to detect and figure out. Crank the engine with the ignitor cover off and run a wire from the high voltage socket on the coil to a gap to ground. If you get a spark there, but no spark at the wires with...

These Skookums turn up on ebay frequently. Maybe you can stop in at the factory and get a blem cheap?

Do this basic check: Remove the two rear spark plugs, set them on the head with the plug wire attached. Remove the wires from 1-4. Put your finger over the #5 plug hole and have someone crank the engine. Your finger should be blown off the hole at the exact time the corresponding spark plug...

My suggestion is to follow the "engine does not crank" troubleshooting logic tree in TM9-2320-365-20-1. You can skip sections that check the starter motor and auxiliary starter solenoid, as you know these are good. The fixes you have already applied have prevented future problems and are...

My recommendation is to pull your pump and have a local reputable injection repair shop rebuild it. They will know exactly how to set it up from the Stanadyne numbers on it. Usually runs around $400 here in Houston.

If you have plenty of pressure on the injector pump inlet, the run solenoid is engaging, and no diesel spurts out of the injector lines, sounds like you may be right about the IP.

Is your start box clicking and voltmeter dipping as the glow plug system cycles? Don't think about replacing the pump until you are sure you are getting glow.

Just had a light bulb moment. No hook is provided because the vehicle designer's intention was to have the winch operator ALWAYS use the snatch block with a 2 line pull, and attach the socket to the tow bar attachment point on the driver's side (see edit below). That way, the vehicle would...

I DO think it is a problem. I get that the pin in the spelter socket has to be removable, but why is no hook or chain provided in the BII? A snatch block is provided, S&S thought of that, but what was the poor soldier supposed to use to attach the cable to something???

And you are 100% sure the glow plugs are glowing? Make sure all that works right before pulling the injector pump.

Why do FMTVs never have a tailchain/hook on the end of the cable? Nothing of the sort is listed in the TMs either. I would be very curious why the Army accepted delivery from my favorite hometown contractor Stewart and Stevenson like this. What are you folks doing to solve the problem? I'm...

Until you engage mode, the inter-axle differential is not locked and if traction is lost on a wheel it will spin like you witnessed. Suprman is a member here, send him a PM and inquire about the dryers. For 4800 you stole it, that is what non-runners bring at auction.

I always tell my wife that I'm storing that truck for a fellow collector. How do you know the front wheels are not under power? That would mean you can only drive it in mode. Get a MRAP dryer for it from suprman, the original is not that great.

Gray Marine 6-71 diesel engine. Unchanged from WWII, except that may be a "N" 4 valve head.

OK it's Wednesday, where are our updates???

On the Dodge military engine, you cannot stab the distributor 180 out, the drive tab into the oil pump gear is offset. Possibly the oil pump gear is not clocked correctly to the cam.
