Hey guys! I downloaded the manual and will begin troubleshooting this weekend. I wanted to ask first if there may be a common issue here I can check first and maybe save myself some time. The other day I was cranking the engine for a while, (10-15 seconds) trying to start it, but it was...

I am ready to build my new WMO filter system. I have a 275 gallon oil tank with 100 gallons of WMO and about 75 gallons of WVO in it. I will add about 30 gallons of diesel and 30 gallons of gas, (all I can afford). Should make something close to "Wreckermans" mixture, maybe a little thicker. I...

Well I have decided that I will be able to keep the truck. I was able to sell some other crap and pay off a few bills and get the Wagoneer almost finished up, just need a torque converter now and a couple of weekends in the shop. I was able to work double shifts for 3 weeks and that paid off...

Saw this at a construction site near my house. It apparently has been converted to some kind of construction vehicle. Anyone seen one of these before?

Has anyone ever mounted a connex on a 5 Ton truck? I found this cool connex at the base in Vancouver, WA. and it has been sitting there for years. What would be involved in fitting it to the back of the truck? Would it fit? Would it be stupid? I would look into buying it if it's possible...

Well I finally went ahead and tore into the rear axle to replace the seals. It was not very hard. Just heavy. I followed the proceure from "dm22630" and there were no problems. I tried to document everything with photos so others can see what's in there before they start. 1. Park on a FLAT...

OK, I am sure there is a tech manual that speaks to this, but I have been pouring over them and the posts and cannot find a topic pertaining to this exactly. On my M54, there is a slight air hissing noise when shifting into 1st gear or reverse. I know this is normal from researching the forums...

I have an opportunity to buy up to 1000 gallons of UVO for $250. That's .25 per gallon. Question 1) Is this a good deal? Question 2) What should I look for? Question 3) What would make it unusable? Thanks in advance! James.

When I bought my 5 ton, the engine shut-off handle had been disconnected at the engine side. (the distrubutor I guess). So everytime I drive it I have to dump the clutch in 5th gear to shut it off. This raises somequestions. 1) Is this hurting my clutch or engine? 2) Is there a common reason...

So on my new 5 ton, I thought the brake cylinder was leaking. Turns out it is 90 weight gear oil. That means the axle seal, I can deal with that. My question is: Can I drive it that way for a while as long as I make sure the oil level in the diff is full? Or is it something critical that needs...

My first MV ever. I love it more than I thought I would. It's a blast to drive, although a bit noisy at first. A new muffler fixed that. I will post a picture of the muffler addition later. I have no experience with them but I am a fair mechanic. I have a leaky wheel cylinder on the left...
