Oh I bought a forklift from Govplanet. They kept using it between lotting and when I picked it up. They ruined the tires, smashed the hydraulics and spilled out the all hydraulic fluid. Of course tires and hydraulics were not covered on the "ironclad" warranty. Very unhappy.

I have fresh Dexron III in mine, nuttin but froth coming into the pump from the return line.

I would start by cleaning all the posts and terminals on the batteries, your short might have converted a poor connection into an open connection.

Meaning the A2 was most likely used with the M123?

I noticed on mine, after it puked fluid several times, looking in the PS pump reservoir, the fluid pouring back into the pump is severely aerated. Leading me to believe this is happening somewhere other than the pump.

Did y'all notice the registration number starts with 16, as in 2016 year model Ford. Interesting the USAF has kept that numbering scheme basically since the beginning of the Air Force.

Exact same problem with mine. Totally confused about how air gets in the lines as they are all under pressure. Except for maybe the cooler lines?

Your findings about the need to "baby" the 250 are perplexing. I would think Cummins rates these engines' horsepower per the data plate to run at that output endlessly. Example: marine application. Full rated power for days on end.

Amazing, MERDC cammo and composite lamps, Uncle was using that relic into the 1970's. Were you able to get it on the orange trailer with those narrow ramps? Edit: looks like second set of pics answers that question: no. Surprised the V300 could handle it.

Something else crossed my mind. Are you SURE the fluid it diesel? If it's ATF you could have vampire disorder.

There is also a vent line that comes from the fuel tank to a little filter right on top of the air cleaner. I have never seen this, but I suppose if you overfilled the tank and parked on a down slope, maybe it could run out?

208's in 1 ton CUCVs don't have cooling, 203's in M880s don't either and they are full time like the HMMWV, maybe 218's can get by for a while without it as well. Check the case after a run with a IR gun, less than 250 deg F should be fine.

The military moved away from single weight oil quite a while ago. OE30 is not stocked as far as I know. OE10 is.

It was flat black before the sun faded it.

What museum? I see some nifty artifacts in your picture background.

No kit, replace the entire thing. If the pump is the culprit, you need to check all the gear cases for being full of diesel as well, the vent system is tied together with the air cleaner being the high spot.

Is there a vent line attached to your fuel pump? Maybe the diaphragm failed.

Confused here, you said you found the problem but are you saying it stiil won'f start?

Everything you mention sounds correct. Google image search for "Viet Nam War Jeep" may yield some good pictures. It's fine to copy unit markings from M151 vehicles which were more common over there.

You know I think snotrac may be right, more likely a blown CV joint, the "goes in reverse" is what I have never seen, usually with a blown CV it won't move at all.
