I agree with Gimpy, re-torque the head bolts on the passenger side and run it. Mine seeped in that location as have countless many others. I can't find the link but it got to be such an issue that the Army quit requiring replacement and released a bulletin in their internal P.S. Magazine...

I'm sure PB can store it for a fee. If he doesn't want it taking up space on his yard, I'll pick it up and keep it in Leesburg, Ga which is about 90 miles in the wrong direction. Since you're deploying, I'd only charge actual fuel amount used and storage is free. I'll even PMCS it and run it...

I would start with fixing the fuel leaks. On the hydraulic head you more than likely will have to remove the line just below in order to hang a wrench on the one that is leaking. I always start with the lower most line and work my way towards the block on both sides. Sounds counter productive...

The relay box you replaced is likely the PCB or protective control box located on the driver's side firewall with a huge cannon plug connected to the bottom. Let's go backwards just a bit and start with your batteries. In a 1983 M939 series truck they are likely located under the passenger...

MWMULES, I checked the Pubs sharepoint site while at work today. No manual currently exists electronically or on paper for these motorcycles. It makes me wonder if they ever existed as manuals tend to stay on that site for years after the equipment has been "purged" from inventory just in...

Clint, Get two of those hats. I don't have the dog yet but I'd wear that in my 5 ton and make Jerry Reed Proud!

Information for those who are looking for these, I had an entire 1 acre bay in a warehouse of these. They were mostly picked up by local Sheriff's Offices in the lower 5 Eastern States since they can get surplus for free. They hang onto them for a year and are free to do what they want. If...

Piggybacking off what Porkysplace posted, you would do yourself a favor to inspect / service the entire braking system on the truck prior to doing much else with it. This includes removing all the wheels, hub/brake drum assemblies and inspect/adjust/replace any questionable components. A dry...

I installed a muffler on mine to protect my kids hearing but I absolutely loved the distinct sound of my Whistler. I went 190 miles each way to a few GA Rallies and it never bothered me. I put the muffler on while my truck had a D Turbo on it and I could hear a little bit of spooling. When I...

Try searching, I've seen multiple threads on id'ing the two. Basically if the exhaust side housing narrows considerably along it's diameter, it's a whistler. If it doesn't narrow much, it's a d. I put a whistler on my truck because I liked the distinct sound but some don't like it for long...

Yeah, what happens is a vacuum is created at the rear end of your truck as it goes down the road. Fluids get sucked onto your back bumper and tailgate if they are present in the airstream.

John, glad you're safe and in place. If you get bored or need help, I'm just 90 miles up the road northwest of Albany, Ga.

No smoke indicates no fuel getting to the injectors. Try these steps. 1. Loosen the flat tip screw on the top of the fuel filter housing located behind the alternator on the driver's side of the engine bay. While wearing safety glasses, have an assistant crank the engine and watch for a...

izzug, This was your truck at the 2016 Leesburg Christmas Parade, I even sent you a T-Shirt afterwards! Just being silly, I couldn't make last years Christmas Parade but my better half told me you drove the MTV all the way down, participated in the Parade and rolled hours back north to...

Doug, Those pictures of your engine bay are better than my CUCV when I first got it! Attached pictures show what mine looked like at 25 years old and only 2,189 miles on it! Didn't have a chance to take a rag to it before the pictures and haven't taken one to it since except to check fluids.

Just a few pictures to keep my truck in the running. It looks like I'm lagging behind slightly but I think Scar59 is running a sprint! I'm an endurance runner! Left to right, General Non-Sense at the Thronateeska Heritage Center for Briggs Birthday party with the M1102. Next, helping a...

Tony, Life gets busy sometimes and I didn't campaign at all last month. I won this contest back in May of 2015 with a CUCV. The little truck beat out a M1070 HET and some very worthy competition. Like the CUCV that spent time in a cave in Norway, my 5 ton has one thing going for it. My...

Thanks Kindly Sir! You're vote went for my competition but I thank everyone for participating including my competitors.

Scar59, Thanks for the kind comment about my boys. I think Wreckers are cool as well. In the National Guard, I'm a Recovery Section Squad Leader. I've had quite a few Wreckers starting with a M936A2, M1089, M1089A1P2 and now a M984A4. My Squad currently has a M984A4, (2) M1089A1P2's and...

I've been a dad longer than I've had MV's, I've got plenty of ammo!
