I bought one on ebay a long time ago and no black suburbans at my house yet.

If your hubs are quiet, just put it all back like it was. It is very easy to mark how much the bearing nut was tightened and re- tighten it to the same clocking. You can do this with your fingers believe it or not.

Auctionaddict reported 8 hrs on front and 4 on rear. Something like that anyway. For the entire job.

Not saying that. Looking at the auction results, GP has sold 23 M1079s and 2 M1079A1s as of this date. That plus a few that GL sold is it other than a handful sold on GSA. That is all that is out there to pick from. Uncle probably bought 1000's of these and all will eventually be sold.

Welcome. I would do a search on past auction results for M1079 and M1079A1 on Govplanet. They have sold 90% of the FMTVs and you will get an idea what is out there and the astronomical prices the vans bring.

I would call Feltz tire in New Boston TX, they have the Red River scrap tire contract and might have some of these at a good price close.

The engine and powertrain are easy to find parts for. The problem with the old wreckers is that every single cylinder packing and hose needs replacement.

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.

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

Yes, it is useless.

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

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.

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...

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

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?

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.

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

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.
