    Assistance 1 ton service truck Miami, Fl

    In the bottom of the valley, right about where the injector lines come out of the ip. There is a good article on this on the dieselpage forum.

    Assistance 1 ton service truck Miami, Fl

    Hmm, next I would look down in the engine valley for the Navistar diamond casting mark. It's hard to see with the intake on.

    That I completely agree with. Vehicles throw up all kinds of grit.

    Humvee summer question

    Please explain. I do this all the time and never imagined it to be irresponsible. If your logic involves the windshield being some kind of ROPS, then that is false security especially in the deuce and 5 tons.

    M923/931 as commercial vehicle in Texas

    I'm not qualified to answer this personally. The weak link on those trucks is the Allison. I think gvws over 50,000 will make for a short transmission life.

    M923/931 as commercial vehicle in Texas

    Both the 915 and 916 even with 6x6 will get stuck on wet grass with the stock street tires. Now if you replace those tires with the readily available 395s, the traction improves immensely for both trucks, but tire life is greatly reduced. The 916 is gear bound to about 55 mph and is a...

    Really need assistance with LMTV

    We are seeing a rash of folks with early 2000s A1 trucks where the hold up battery in the ecu dies. If the engine runs with either, that is a sign of this. Check your fuel prime, if good it's time to find a mechanic with a Cat ET scan tool.

    M923/931 as commercial vehicle in Texas

    Welcome Don, I can walk you through it as I operate my M915 in the same way. First of all, insurance, we don't get into that discussion on this site, basically walk into an agency that insures commercial trucks and tell them how you wish to operate. Next, you have to establish operating...

    Is it the M Gator?

    How cool is that. Still can't understand why the M Gator is John Deere green and not OD. Speaking of John Deere green, since we have the ears of a corporate dude, will you please tell Horicon Works or where ever these are made to do a better job cleaning the laser cut parts before paint! They...

    Spark plug leads question

    Several ways: 1. Replace the wires one at a time. 2. Refer to the Technical Manual 3. Find TDC of #1 cylinder in compression stroke, see which tower the rotor is pointing to, then place the remaining wires per the firing order. I think the distributor turns CCW.
