I kept looking for the tracked vehicle.
Haven't seen one yet in this thread...
Bogey (Bogie?) wheels are indicated, 3rd up from the bottom left of the picture.

What amazes me about these M10xX trucks is how PERFECTLY the turret leak drops the water squarely into your lap. Not on your shoulder, not on your leg, but squarely in your lap.
I sealed my M1088 and my M1089 and YES, it sure is nice to have a dry cab!

I would suggest that you have had a truck that an 18 year old drove and left the windows down in the rain. And that hole in the top of the cab leaked or is leaking. These trucks are amazingly tough, but years of just sitting there on the dead line most likely didn't help much either...
If...

Welcome to the Outfit!
There are several guys here that contribute regularly about their "flusey" :cool:
Guessing you have already discovered our selection of TM's (Technical Manuals) posted here
Welcome to the group.

Might even be worth getting a small electric pump and a filter housing to let the fuel circulate with the truck turned off and just sitting in the driveway. Run it supervised for a while to make sure nothing stupid happens... One hose on the bottom of the tank and the other just pouring it...

Need to know that water is roughly 8.33# Per Gallon.
Need to know water slosh is going to be a brand new experience if you haven't had a liquid filled trailer behind you. It feels like somebody rammed you from behind the first time you hit the brakes. First slosh forward, just a little bump...

Oh... Bad deal. I had the same thing happen as I clamored into my MK23 about six months ago. Took it to the "fix it store" and it was a couple hundred bucks. Could have bought a used replacement for about the same money. Only advantage was that my data and all my settings were untouched...

Nice looking truck!
Being different isn't a bad thing - and I imagine it starts and runs reliably. Can't run a movie shoot if the vehicle isn't reliable. Enjoy yourself with your new truck...

Welcome to the Outfit!
We definitely need some pictures. We host the TM's (Technical Manuals) for your truck, so haul them down. They are BORING in a big way - but knowing how to start the truck without "smoking" your start box and glowplugs would be time spent in the -10 TM.

Welcome to the Outfit!
Keep us posted with your progress with pictures.
This would be a nice thread to show what you have done. Maybe you can sell some of the parts you have to buy new parts for your "New-To-You" vehicle. Heck, snap a few pictures of the dash plates and maybe we can help...

Dissimilar metals.
Aluminum tank, brass cap - and a cap with 4 little metal circles on the top of the cap.
You can get after one of the old caps with a with a wire brush until it shines. Then coat the inside of the cap with a light coating of RTV or something like it. Let it dry for a week...
