Ok so I just did a napa base and filter. Filled the fuel filter and installed. The truck fired right up and ran for 15sec then died. Ok out of fuel. Cranked and cranked with no difference. So then I cracked open every injector line on the head, I'm getting fuel at each one. So cranking now it...

Picked this bad boy up Friday morning. Drove all night Thursday from Indiana to Pennsylvania to get her. Local fire departments brush truck. Had a big work bed on the back, they just snipped all the wires so that kinda stinks. Otherwise it's a pretty nice, solid seeming truck. Supposedly 10,200...

Unexpectedly won an auction on govplanet today. It's a beat down m1028 with maintenance body. Non running, no transmission or transfer case. It's in saraland AL which is supposedly 819mi from me. I'm in NW Indiana, LaPorte or Michigan City area. I haven't bought anything off GP in 5-6yrs so I...

I'm looking to up my tire size to something around 35s on stock skinny rims. I've seen on a few toyota and landcrusier forums that people are running military 8.25R16s and that they measure out around 34in. Does anyone have any input on these tires, or know of skinny 35in tires that will fit...

I bought a 1986 M1008 on eBay a few weeks ago and noticed while picking it up there is only one battery and one alternator. It runs, drives, and starts fine. Was used by a fire department as a plow truck. I don't have a volt meter or anything but going off of that I would assume it has been...

I'm attempting a head gasket swap and with a simple easy tug I broke the end off a sensor in the drivers side head. It's at the very front by alt. What is it, water temp sensor? Thanks

I've got a 3116 powered a3 that has been sitting in my parents back yard for 3yrs. Trying to get it up and going now. Installed good batts, cranks good but I'm not getting fuel. Little to no trickle loosening the fuel filter. I keep reading of priming with compressed air. Where/which line am I...

Just went out back 10min ago to start my 1971 deuce. It's been sitting about a month now. Hop in and flip the battery switch, air buzzer on and volt gauge good.. Hit the start switch and it cranked for maybe a second then dead. With the power switch on the buzzer and volt gauge operate but as...

A3 Wont stay running.. Fuel issue. Picked up my Dads M35A3 yesterday up in Sparta... The guys there wanted to get us loaded up quick so they fired the truck up and drove it out of the lot so we could get it on the trailer easier. It ran for a few minutes while we were getting ready to load it...

Won a M35A3 in WI back in the 1st week of July and a M915A1 in OH around 3 weeks ago.. To my suprise both were cleared for pick up yesterday. Talked to both sites right after and set up times to get both vehicles. Looks like I'm going to Sparta WI 9/2/10 to get the A3, and the GL guy said...

How far do I need to take the front hub assembly apart to be able to change studs out? Do the lock nuts, drum, and bearings need to come off too? I have 2pc bolt together rims and 48's for a M818 but the studs are not long enough on the front.

I have several diesel turbo 400's laying around and I want to build one to put behind a gas 454ci motor... What needs to be changed in order for this to work? Torque converter, anything internal?

I picked up a couple 1009's a while back and am just now starting to work on them... The one I am currently trying to get going is in the best shape... From the looks of it the only thing that was missing at time of pickup was the starter and glow plug card... I replaced the starter, don't...

Won both of these trucks Yesterday. One has 38,000mi and the other has 70,000mi. I have no idea if they run, description only said no keys. I'm hoping they will be like the M1009 I got in Indy and fire right up with batts but who knows. Looks to be missing alts.. To bad they are 600mi away from...

First off, Does anyone have tow bars for sale around northern Indiana? Second, Not that I want too but can a Deuce tow/tag/pull an 813 without having to fear death?:grin: I am looking at several unknown runners, and while they look to be in good condition I need a backup plan if they won't...

Well, Thursday we picked up 3 m1009s. Won them on gl without inspection.. 2 started right up and the other fired up after swapping in optima batts.. Drove 2 home and towed the other.. Good thing we had the trailer because one has no 2nd or 3rd gear.. Oh well, you win some you lose some. Was...

Ok, I'd like to join the Marines but have heard mixed stories so I just wondered what you guys thought.... I'm 22 years old, 6ft 3in, and 170lbs... I consider myself reasonably fit... Didn't really want a poll but this looked like the only section where I could ask for input..

Is used syn oil ok to run or does it need to be dyno stuff? Used tranny fluid and gear oil ok? I just wanna start burning anything I can get my hands on in my multi fuels.. Example... I have a few old chevy trucks that I'm going to scrap, if I drain all fluids (other than coolant) and mix then...
