I don't have a pic of the one I built because it's in a truck that's not here so credit to the pics owner. (edit) I found the owner of the pic is tjhuffy and he also did this setup to his LMTV earlier this year.
This is how to bypass the ctis controller to make it a manual system if you are...
Ever since I've had my truck it has to crank a bit before it starts. so in the beginning I changed fuel filters and didn't help. so further messing around with it we tried pressurizing the fuel tank and no help. so I just put up with it for a while. So last few months after it was warmed up from...
I'm not one to type a lot so if you have any questions just ask and I'll try to answer. This is my install of the MRAP rad into my 931A2. I'm not sure the model of MRAP the unit came from but it's a big b*tch. 6" thick aluminum and is wider and taller than the original rad. It's so big I had to...
Ok Trying to see how much real interest there is. My buddy is designing a selectable locker as a drop in unit for the 5ton axles. Projected sale price is to be $1500 to $1600 per locker. We have been brain storming on the actuation as to make it air or electric or even a cable option. If...
Of the 2 M931A2 trucks we bought with the 8.3 cummins one starts almost instantly in cold weather but the other one has to crank a while. The one that starts right up has fair blow by and the hard starter has none. Both just had the same spring and screw turning mods which made both run...

I just put a set of lockouts on my deuce. Wow, what a big difference in road manners. The steering wheel no longer shimmy's in the turns and it seems to roll along a bit more effortlessly. I'm anxious to see if the MPG's increase. I'd recommend this upgrade to anyone that runs their deuce or...
I can't seem to find it with the search so I'll ask. I'm looking for an older post (couple years old possibly) tht some one mentioned having a blueprint from Rockwell for a 5.20 gearset for the 2.5 ton axle. Does anyone happen to know who it was?
Thanks

Has anyone ever tried to make an air to air cooler for a deuce? I'm curious. I started lookin around the front and it would most likely have to go between the radiator and grill.
Since my trucks not quite ready yet I decided to load my buddies truck and go for a test run to see what I'm gonna expect from when I tow mine. It towed it really well no problems pulled out and went just fine. I still plan on turning up the fuel yet but I was happy with the results. I have...
Does anyone here have any interest in 5 ton lockouts? I have a friend that is thinking about making them but he doesn't know if he'll have enough people that would buy a set to make his time worth while in doing this. And they should be a bit more affordable than Spare Parts prices.(Those guys...
I have line on some used 7" 24v MV LED headlights. Is this something anyone would be interested in? There is a limited quantity and from what I gather they will be around $350.00 per pair or should I beat the guy down at that price.
Ok So I decided to go with the volt a drops to cut down my voltage to my trailer lights. I'm trying to decide if I should just mount them on the truck and hard wire them in to the trailer plug on the truck or should I make a removeable mount for them with a male and female plug so I can plug...
I have a salvage yard close to me here in Blair County Pa that has a few different MV's rottin away. There may be a few relics worth savin. If anyone is interested hit me up They have quite a few M37's and there is reminant of a half track. They have some M35 parts trucks and not sure of the...
It's a little pricey but my buddy Russ at Gearhart Engineering makes a lower numerically gear ratio for the 2.5 ton topload. It's a 5.41:1 ratio. Plus he makes many other cool stuff for the Rockwell axles also. You can checkout his stuff at Gearhart Engineering These are high quality...

Thanks
