yeah its been a rough experience, I'm finding out that these military vehicles are really meant to be fixed in the garage rather than the mechanic shop.. regardless, I'm working with a fellow steel soldier to get a used engine. I have no idea about mechanic work, but I think I'm going to attempt...

Well decided on not getting a new engine and put it up for sale instead. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/4464141550.html

A quick question about this trick of pouring transmission oil in the intake, how much do you put in it? I wanna try and get it started and drive home rather than trailering it. thanks again.

Thanks a bunch guys! I think thats what I'm gonna do, get it home and try a swap myself or get rid of the thing period.. Mechanic bills are just getting old.

Thanks nyoffroad, its a crappy situation either way but I'm just trying to decide whether or not to have them put a new engine in it. of course thats a 6k investment but in the long run I think it'd be worth not having any engine problems in the near future.

He showed me a sheet with each of the psi numbers on it, I just remember them being between that range.. also its solely a diesel mechanic shop and they've tested the glow plugs, ip, an everything that leads to a starting and compression issue. I totally agree with you that it seems impossible...

The cylinders ranged from 90psi to about 160 I believe. Oil is fine, I also had a concern about the timing chain but the mechanic blew air through the cylinders and it came out of the pistons, concluding that the rings were most likely shot. so according to them, regardless of the timing...

Well looks like after some time the mechanic where my truck is at priced a rebuild at nearly the same price as a new Jasper engine. So now I'm looking at around 6k to drop a new engine in the truck. I just cant get around the fact that something else has to be causing the low compression unless...

This is what I've been asking myself for the past 8 months! its crazy, the owner before me was the second owner and he only drove it around town.. the mechanic shop its at right now is a good place, they specialize only in diesels, and they've dealt with military trucks before. Fact is, I'm just...

Thanks so much guys. So out of curiosity, I'm in Central Indiana and from what I've searched on the web, where would you go about getting a used or new 6.2 engine? I think I'll start with trying to rebuild it, but if its too far gone then I'll try for a new or used engine. I've just got too much...

Hello soldiers, I've had my first cucv vehicle which is an m1009 since June of last year. It was running literally like a brand new truck, everything working right, and two days later it wouldnt start. since then, it hasnt been on the road, and only in and out of mechanic garages. I've replaced...
