    M246 does it sound right?

    There's an exhaust leak and it appears to hesitate when you open the throttle. It is hitting on all 6. When you drive it, it should accelerate briskly to 2600 rpm and move right on out.

    Stupid question about right floor of M1028

    What you are describing sounds like the vehicle base for a Gamber Johnson laptop mount. It has a square bolt pattern, about 2"x2".

    W400 Ambulance: aka: Dubya Four Hundred Bambulance: I GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh. I see you are correct. So in '79 is was built as a 1 ton 4x4 ambulance with a gas engine?

    W400 Ambulance: aka: Dubya Four Hundred Bambulance: I GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

    Looks like someone took a 1992 1 ton 4x4 dually cab and chassis and grafted a M886 body on to it. Firewall, front and rear axles gives this away. Unfortunately, the ambulance body is beyond economic repair.

    Killing NHC 250s -what we have learned killing 3 of them.

    Does anyone know if the civilian 250 has piston cooling? The 250 was a predominant engine in American trucking all through the 1960's. How did it survive hour long maximum horsepower pulls up high elevation roads like Raton Pass at 7800 ft elevation? "Dispatch, made it to the top but melted...

    Data plates for a M36a1

    VINs starting with 01 is either a 1966 or early 67 make by Kaiser Jeep. So you for sure have an A2.

    Data plates for a M36a1

    No sir, A2's had the sprag transfer case up until '71 or so. So probably have a garden variety M36A2. What is your VIN to double check?

    Data plates for a M36a1

    That plate will be unimaginably difficult to find. You have a rare truck, and the USMC tends to rebuild trucks frequently, upgrading to the 465 engine and becoming an A2.

    Member had vehicle troubles, home safe and sound

    Did he check the usual 6.5 suspects, frame mounted electric fuel pump, oil pressure switch, PMD?

    Carc

    The aliphatic polyurethanes have huge amounts of silica flattener in them (70% by volume) and that is where the roughness comes from. Nothing to do with "overspray". The waterborne CARCs are smooth.

    No gasket there, your master cylinder is shot, rebuild or replace.

    AAR Mobility Shop Container - 3 Phase Conversion Questions

    Tie all three phases together and connect to the 110 volt black wire. Connect the 110 volt white wire to the neutral buss.

    Request M35A2 Retrieval info

    The fuel system will be a disgusting mess and the brakes will be leaked out. Plan on flushing both and the cooling system as well.

    HMMWV Sealant

    That's some of the atomic body panel glue that AM General's robots squirt on the panel edges before assembly. Who knows what it really is. Avoid silicone as that can mess up future paint jobs.

    Rough Idle & Delayed throttle response

    In is lean. Could you have fuel contamination that came up from the tank and messed up your fresh rebuild?

    Rough Idle & Delayed throttle response

    Welcome. That screw is indeed the idle mixture adjustment. When you rebuilt it, did the check ball or balls (forgot quantity) go back in the right places?

    to turbo or not to turbo

    The GEP turbocharged engines are 2007 and newer. A CUCV engine will be a 1980's relic.

    HMMWV computer mount

    I have only seen the AN/UYK-128 mounted in HMMWVs. Putting a LEO B300 mount in a CUCV is possible, but it will interfere with the transfer shifter. Huge B300 fan here, been using a ex-USMC unit for going on 8 years now as my main platform at home, it is indestructible. The Gamber Johnson B300...
