Replaced one injector (ran out of daylight before I could get to the others). Unfornately, I bent one of the brass fittings so I could not reconnect fuel lines. I'll get back on it later this week to finish it up!
Nice pics and it is good to see these trucks with a life after the military. I am sure yours are Desert Storm Veterans! Farm work is well suited for them. Liked the pics on facebook as well.
Here is a picture and video if my M52A2. When I first got it, it had neither a cab top or windows.

I need some help. I made the mistake of letting my M52 run low on fuel and suck some gunk that was in the tank into the system. After refilling it, I could hear a distinct clapping (metal to metal) sound coming out of the exhaust. There was no loss of power or smoke. It ran like this for...
I do not think that '68 was the last year for the multifueled engines. I will check the VIN on my truck. It is a '69 Kaiser Jeep M52A2 and it has a multifuel engine.
