On FMTVs, it can be quite difficult to remove the U-joint caps due to them being rusted in place. You are supposed to use a $350 puller that most of us don't have. The rear driveline on LMTVs is hypersensitive to balance, so it's best not to pry on the yokes or use a sledgehammer to beat the...

An engine in a can could be: Factory new, factory new but removed due to a knock, rebuilt/good, rebuilt but removed due to a knock, take out/good, take out good but removed due to failed oil analysis. Think this covers all I have seen. 8.2??? Really? Anything else.

OP has a valid question. The W200 of that era was available with 3500 or 4500 lb front axles. I could never understand why Uncle wanted the lighter duty axle, although it served well.

See if you can find an original copy of TM9-2320-260-10 dated Jan 1972, that is the operator's manual and can help show when the trucks were produced.

Can you fix the typos in your post. Looks like the 4LE-354 wastegate turbo which belongs on the LDS 465-1A

I completely agree. Everyone I know who has removed the 20" runflats did it with a sawzall. I would like for anyone who has pulled a 20" runflat out like a HMMWV one to post up!

What is the boost at 45 mph? No boost and indeed you'll need the check the exhaust turbine. You guys need to understand, the LDS all smoke, just some way more than others. I think Gimp is right about the one and two hole injectors having a lot to do with it. This engine design is from the...

Lemme look in my crystal ball. Ah yes, here we go. Sheriff's office draws the truck 10 years ago from 1033 program. Someone is driving it in the 4th of July parade when all of a sudden the shift controller shows error codes and it won't move. Towed to county barn, some inexperienced mechanic...

Are we talking about 20" wheels or 16.5 wheels?

Check the boost level, maybe the turbosupercharger is dragging a little. See if it spins freely.

LDS power. Known for rollin' coal. Make sure the air cleaner element is spotless.

You have some headaches ahead of you. Fortunately member Suprman here will have all the take out parts you need to fix your hangar queen.

Nope, that's why I hoard all the surplus ones I can find with broken glass and fix them.

Defective Korean parts. Send it back.

Now where would one find one of those?????

Yes, 1969 is when the order was placed and the first wreckers came of the line. Yours was one of them hint hint.

Most people that bob these put a M105 trailer bed on the back. You could cut out the front of the bed so the winch could remain. Hey if the 6 wheels and tires you are taking off are a waste product to you, put 'em on a pallet and ship to me, I'll pick up the tab.

Looks like a great truck. The battery wiring diagram is published here on this site. Make sure you do your battery connections properly, DON'T GUESS! The 31's don't fit very well but you can use them in a pinch. The military typically wrote the mileage on the oil filter at filter changes, my...

What is your registration number, should start with "NL" and be on the data plate or stenciled on the inside of the doors. 1987 date of delivery is wrong anyway, by then AM General was deep into manufacturing the 816's replacement, the 936 wrecker. MW Mules is correct, use the contract year...
