    M1090 seems to be starving for fuel under any load

    Sounds like an air leak. Super bad for injection system.

    Electronics Sho, Trailer Mounted AN/MPM-46B of Nike Hercules Equipment Trailer

    Same wheel as M101 trailer or M37 Dodge. There are wheels made for that trailer that are for tubeless tires.

    Did you try pressurizing the fuel tank like the HEMMTs.

    TEXAS GULF COAST ; MV Emergency Response

    I thought I knew a lot about flood rescue work having worked TS Claudette as a teenager in a M37 Dodge for Galveston County Civil Defense. Some random thoughts: Harvey was a humbling experience that did not go well for a lot of agencies. I recall meeting with our command staff (FD)on August...

    1997 M1078 will not start

    I had this issue on a CUCV. You will need to have someone press the button to cause the fault condition while you probe around with a voltmeter to see where you are loosing the voltage. In my case, a crimped on cable end had corroded between the cable and terminal, and would only conduct power...

    If you can crimp the tubes, you do not have to remove the radiator. Eastern Surplus lists having the clutch.

    Adventure Driven was broke CA , hole in radiator, need fan clutch

    Google lists 3 rad shops in Ventura: Lee's 805-648-6939, Jessie's 805-652-2193, Ventura Rad 805-643-4880. I would try to crimp the damaged tubes to stop the leak. You can then continue on without the hose to a Napa at 4547 Telephone road and obtain hose and fittings to make a new hose assy...

    M1088 Upgrades

    Very few shops understand setting up the wheel end spider gears properly. If you guess the gear lash, they will grind and rumble and self-destruct. The wheel ends have to come apart to change the front differential. Also, lately, the surplus high speed ring and pinion gears are dried up, you...

    Well shoot! 6-Bolt vs 4-Bolt Crank/Flywheel

    If the CCKW pressure plate bolts to it and the recess for the pilot bushing is the same, that may work fine.

    Licensing M915's

    Ouch. Here is why this happened. People have been buying Humvees (also made by AM General) that are title branded "off road use", then "washing" the titles to remove the brand. Various states have figured this out, and have flagged anything made by AM General as off road only unless the owner...

    Well shoot! 6-Bolt vs 4-Bolt Crank/Flywheel

    I needed a 6 bolt hole 270/302 GMC flywheel back in the 80's and it was hard to find then.

    Well shoot! 6-Bolt vs 4-Bolt Crank/Flywheel

    No. Clutch has to have bolting surface and friction surface.

    Can I run tires without the runflats and PVC inserts?

    Who sells the pvc pipe beadlocks ready to use? Or do we just buy some 16" schedule 80 pipe and cut it?
