I have a complete 6.2 diesel out of a CUCV if anyone needs one. I can bring it to Weare. Don't forget to bring the family. This is a great family event with lots of activities like the beach run and Ice cream run. I always take riders along in the "Big Truck trail Ride". We don't charge to come...
Thanks Toby. I do remember see about the check valves. I was under my M936 the other day, I was thinking how to mount the pony motor. Mounting the pony motor and pump on the rotator will make things so much easier to work on. I want to keep this project simple and functional.
I would like to put the motor on the rotator, so I can run the throttle while hoisting, just not sure if I can back feed the fluid to run the rear winch and I still need to get fluid to the front winch.
Well, I am pretty close to adding a pony motor to my Weecker. I total rebuilt the engine in my 1984 Honda a Goldwing last year and after it was complete I was almost driven off the road twice. People just don't pay attention around here. So the motor will power the rear PTO on my wrecker instead ;)
Just started a Crewcab built for one of my return customers. It will have 5 bucket seats, two sunroofs, LineX floors and maybe suicide doors. Thanks for all your build posts, they have helped my answer some questions and avoid mistakes.
Should be a lot of M939 series 5 tons there this year. Take them on "The Big Truck Trail ride" A&H Recon heads the trail ride for all lift CUCV, Duece and half and 5 Tons.
There are plenty of M939 series trucks in private hands and I have it under good authority that they will be back. Lucky for me my buddy is selling me his wrecker .
yes, the Cummins 250 are noise, but the advice on the compressor is smart too. Does it bang all of the time or just noticeable at idle? I have seen low mile motor eat a cylinder from sitting around. It is most likely bad fuel or just gummed up injectors from sitting. put some ATF in the tank to...
I am a diesel mechanic and my company specializes on restoring and maintaining former military vehicles. I good customer of mine turned my on to Opti-Lube XPD and then I read the thread "adding lubicity to diesel" here on SS. I was impressed and bought a gallon. WoW! What a differance it makes...
Well, if you want multifuel then I would say M39 series trucks is best (M54 etc) you would have power steering for the big tires and the heavy duty axles. I would not recommend bobbing it for off road unless you plan on going in a lot of sand. 1400 tires have the best performance too, 1600's are...
Bad news guys. I have to abort the gun truck build. My company A&H Recon. Shop is so busy that I am forced to sell my M923 to buy a M936 wrecker. I use the wrecker everyday and can't afford to be with out it, so I will probable sell off most of my Gun truck parts. I may keep the LWS, but the...
Already have my camping spot. A&H Recon. Shop will be leading people with 5 ton, Dueces and lifted CUCVs on trail rides again this year. Last year we had 20 trucks with over 40 riders go on trail rides between the two days. Looking forward to seeing everyone again this year.
Be careful with the block heaters that have the locking nut to hold in the element. They tend to leak around the element. I prefer the fusion welded units.
Welcome to the group. There are a bunch of us on the Cape. I have a shop that repairs, modify and maintains military trucks. Give me a call. It is always good to meet another MV collector. Matt 617-650-2108
