    Fuel in Oil – HELP

    Do a search and you will see people have tried to move the engine over just enough to get it off. Chain falls / come along tied to a tree to pull motor over. Do not get me started. Myself I think IP removal is easer but then again I was dropped on my head as a baby.

    Hello

    Welcome. Sometimes it is best to go with a little more expensive truck that has been preowned by someone that took care of the truck. That means all axles have had a complete service and air pack / master cylinder plus new rubber brake lines in good working order. Engine in good working order...

    Fuel in Oil – HELP

    TM calls for removal of booster pump and 60 psi of fuel put through it. In tank pump might not be enough if the seal is not that bad. Might take all 60 psi to open up the seal. Not a fun job.

    Gulfway Ins. Limitation WOES!!!

    On the collectors choice form it asked what type of security, I always put Gun. I am waiting for my antique tag and the bill for the 1088 so we shall see how much it is soon. I have three trucks and the one 373 semi trailer with Gulfway and so far it has been reasonable.

    Steep mountains high altitudes my .02 still wrong truck. Any problem with the transfer case or automatic transmission over heating you out of luck. At least with a manual transmission you could come down off a mountain in a low gear and not burn up or loose your brakes using the engine with or...

    Can't drain fuel/water separator - Cat 3116

    I do not know why you are doing it with the engine running that filter is under suction. If you question anything just change your filters and clean out water trap of any crud. Racor has a 24 volt filter housing with built in electric pump. Just power it up and prime the whole system. Had to...

    Sorry no info on these ATV's (I.D.'d: Polaris MRZR)

    Over priced under built as me how I know. Also mine does 70 mph and does not have a turbo if I can find a place to wind it up. Most of the time off road is well under 20 mph if not way lower. If it has the drive belt I believe I see in the pictures you must know when to put it in low range or...

    Agree, Wrong truck for the job do not mess with the fuel / injection pump. Myself yea I would have gone with mechanical injection, at least 400 hp with Jake brake and manual transmission plus Hendrickson suspension. Also non military but something that parts a readily available.

    M1078 LMTV planetary hub setup

    Think I see your problem. Tan dash / truck, OD colored speedometer.:driver: Run your hubs and see if it changes or you find them too loose / tight. Remember Steve said a minimum of 10 /20. Bet it could be .030 and still be fine. We just do not want them running too hot.

    Noisy axles at LMTV

    Awesomlmtv Myself I would not only do the hubs but go all the way in and repack inner bearings with grease. You could have a inner bearing / race problem so myself I would not worry about ring gear quit yet.
