    Blown 6.2 any suggestions

    It would be funny if you put a 454 in there and it was the pump on the 400.

    M988 lights won't work

    Assuming you are asking about a M998. Turn the light switch off for 10 minutes, then turn back on. If the light come on for a moment and then go off again, there could be a short circuit in the lighting somewhere that is causing the light switch's internal circuit breaker to trip. If all...

    My First M-37 ( A Barn Find )

    Extraordinary! The thing behind the grill is the selenium rectifier for the 1st generation 100 amp charging system. It means your truck was a HF radio truck or carried a rat shack.

    Estimated value of a 1951 M38

    I would say stagnant.

    Estimated value of a 1951 M38

    That Jeep has been ground-up restored. Cleaned up it is worth $20,000.

    Can't believe it.

    Tell him to go to Home Depot/Loews etc and get a cheapie gas generator and a battery charger and strap those to the catwalk and press on.

    M923a1 air brake problem

    Torn diaphragm in the spring brake chamber. If you are in a bind, cage that chamber and cap off the line going to the chamber. This is a DOT no-no.

    CUCV-II blown engine. I-95 N exit 68, loaded and headed home Now

    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.

    1969 LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel)

    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.

    M 715 motor swap

    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.

    1963 M37 - Pre-start checklist

    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...

    Winch cable tail chain?

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

    Scout car engine trouble.

    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...

    M1078 start issue

    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...

    HMMWV injector pump bad or??

    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.

    HMMWV injector pump bad or??

    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.

    HMMWV injector pump bad or??

    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.

    Winch cable tail chain?

    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...

    Winch cable tail chain?

    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???
