Mine's leaking oil very slightly from the same spot. Call it a class 1 leak for the moment but it has stained the motor around the dataplate and it's obviously coming from between the head and the block. I suppose I'm looking at head gaskets if it gets worse. Mine also has the new style head...
I've not seen an NMCI computer lately that wouldn't burn a CD. The thumb drive restriction is just for actively connected to the network computers, not for stand alone's.
I've finally figured out some of the older folks in this forum. Ya'll buy and run these trucks because you had the chance to when the trucks and ya'll were in your prime. I had a nice trip back from Ft. Stewart today while driving my newly assigned M1089 FMTV Wrecker with less than 700 miles...
Diesel that's not burning completely is white to gray as well. Ever start a HMMWV with a bad glow plug controller? It'll billow white smoke until it starts and then some after, of course with a Diesel smell accompanying it. My bet is on the injectors in this case. I've got similar issues but...
I've been reading through airpack oiling threads. I got a chance to meet Phil2978 again today as he was picking up some Deuces out of Albany, GA. He was hooking up a line to activate the brakes on one of his new trucks behind his M109 that he drove up there. He showed me just how simple it is...
HS, Those are good, I think it's my trucks way of saying I should have driven it too the GA Rally rather than contracting that job out. As small of a leak as it has, I'd probably get by for years just adding a little oil at a time but I do prefer a leak free truck. Never had one while I was...
10-4, it's just an intermittent problem, as in maybe once or twice in 40 miles of driving. It only seems to do it once warmed up and you can easily hear when one cylinder drops. A quick jab of the accelerator and she's cleared up and hitting on all 8 again. The truck was stored in a cave in...
metal wear or varnish from sitting so long? I'm convinced this truck has less than 3,000 original miles and have pictures and documentation to back my thoughts. Could a good fuel additive that dissolves the varnish help? Trust me, you've got my attention as you seem to be quite knowledgeable...
Larry,
The wife saw this and said the only way I could trade is if I got "The Proud" and a fuel card for a year along with it and quite a few greenbacks!!!!! In other words, she said not a chance in that fire pit below us.
I've got a very low mile M1028 that runs great except for 1 issue. It will occasionally foul an injector and the only cure is to floor it. The increase in fuel delivery will cause the dead cylinder to start firing again everytime. It's only got 2800 miles on and am I'm sure they're not 102800...
I'm getting ready to do my spring maintenance on the truck and have just a few questions. I'm doing everything but the hard lines on the brakes and have NOS parts in hand. I've got oil leaking out of the output shaft on the trans and input shaft on the t-case. Does anyone have seals available...
My truck sometimes suffer's from injector fouling. It's never been a big deal for me when it happens while driving down the road, I just lay my foot into it and the non-firing cylinder jumps back to life. I let my wife drive the truck to town the other day and throughout the stops, it died on...
Welcome from Leesburg, GA, about an hour away from you. I'm glad you're not using blocks on the front and will be curious to see how it looks when you're done. I plan on running the 37's on HMMWV wheels but am thinking of going 6 inches and doing a crossover steering conversion as recommended...
The MK-48 can drive off like that. On the back axle, there's a lockout strut that has to be in place or it'll fall flat on it's nose. It's akin to riding a mechanical bull when not attached to a rear body unit and it's a jerky side to side ride when hooked to a rear body unit and you steer it...
EMR, Zack and I have talked a pretty good bit about buying one of these trucks. He's been wanting one for a while I can say. He may be new to this site but he's had the passion for a while. I'd be willing to bet he'll make it to the Rally this year and if it's not too far of a drive, we'd...
Zack,
As we discussed on the phone, this truck will either drive out under it's own power or I'll tow it home with my Deuce and fix whatever needs repairing. If anybody else bought a M35 or M109 out of Albany, GA recently, I'm here to help and have absolutely no affiliation with GL but I've...
