Is that one of the ones made in Spain, or one of the US made ones that was imported from Spain?

You did good! Welcome to Steel Soldiers. Throw some HMMWV Wranglers on there for a cheap fix to your slick swampers . . . 440, must be great, 318 has to work hard. Oh and BTW say hi to Sarah next time you see her.

Guy on Ebay has the hard copy manual for $15. Watch the wheel lugs carefully.

Thanks guys, that was exactly the info I was looking for. jwallers link to the Engine Rebuilder's article said it all: The older GM blocks are considered scrap by engine rebuilding pros. That is why we see all the pull-out HMMWV engines coming out of DRMO and not going back for rebuild.

jpcj-7 said in a post a while back that he discovered the alt was used in civi trucks in the 80's. I would bring the thing in to my heavy duty parts house or alternator shop and let them see what they could figure out.

All I see missing the the clutch lever and the cable. Looks like a good deuce winch to me. Check for hairline cracks in the gear housing and for a broken bull gear.

Is there any reason to believe that current production AM General 6.5 L diesels are better, or more durable than those made by GM previously? Are the cranks still cast? I understand Navistar manufactures the raw engine castings for AM General. I would like to build a highly reliable 6.5 and...

Use the tie down shackles at the rear of the trailer. Running the chains under the frame like that does not look right. Also, no transport chain is ever galvanized! The 3/8 transport chain can be obtained from truck supply houses, Grainger, et al.

Nope they have recently been sold. Guess who gets to recover all three of them about 1 mile down the road for the new owner. I'll ask the him if he wants to part with one.

NO! Please don't put stars on the door or numbers on the hood of your 383 Tan truck! A 2" black star can go in the middle of the front bumper and in the middle of the tailgate. Use laquer thinner to remove the sale/lot grease pencil marks. Hood and door stars are only painted on one...

If this were the case the carnage would stop when you cut off the ignition key, With the earlier desrcibed condition, if you cut off the key, the starter just keeps cranking (as you panic).

Just don't send them any pictures of your truck at the DRMO yard being sold with the ring mount un-demilled.

Ouch. It seems like every two weeks someone posts about this same problem. It is caused by the starter relay under the dash failing in the closed position. If your (now fried) starter was previously doing the job, it was not the wrong one. I think that a condition of membership on this...

Could you be more vague?

Digi hurricane clean up truck?

Here is a picture of the gravel lot. Some of y'alls 920's are in the background.

Ha Ha. That truck has some kahones, that being the double reduction Timken-Detroit SD353 axles at 7.33 ratio. Will pull anything given traction. OK, back on subject. I have done several recoveries from where these trucks are parked, so I may be of assistance. They are in a tight fenced...

At Camp Beauregard behind the Prison?? Not that I have ever seen. Where exactly??

The cabs are totally steel. Also, the doors are parallel with the axis of the truck when viewed from above. That should aid in the grafting.

You guys will not be disappointed. These engineer trucks are fresh out of service and should be mission capable.
