Pretty simple trick, remove tamper proof ball from throttle shaft. If it's original, it's almost harder than the drill bit you're using. Once out, use a flat tip screwdriver to turn the screw in the throttle shaft counter clockwise. 1/8th of a turn makes a big difference so start there. If...

Replaced the leaking driver's rear glad hand air valve. Next air leak to fix will be the pressure relief valve on the inlet that feeds the wet tank. Also installed the correct transmission modulator cable bracket where it connects to the bracket on the driver's side of the engine. No more Zip...

I turned my pump back up! When I had it rebuilt 2 years ago they put blue tamper paint on every bolt. They even put a plastic "tamperproof" dab of gray plastic inside of the throttleshaft. I didn't know it was plastic until today. They also put blue locktight on the throttle screw. Blue...

Napa part number 703-1418. If you look above this thread, you'll see a thread called "Deuce Parts Quick Reference Spreadsheet". Read it as it is very helpful.

I should have also mentioned the hard plastic lines going to the fuel primer. I had a M817 out here that was exhibiting these same symptoms as well. Capped the rear elbow that feeds the injection pump eliminating the primer all together. The only time you really need the primer is during fuel...

You said you replaced the fuel lines but the symptoms suggest it's still leaking air from somewhere. I know the M812 has a single passenger side fuel tank but the symptoms are familiar with an M818 that lived in my yard for quite some time. In this case, it was the spider hoses on the fuel...

Finished installing the dual fuel line modification on my NHC-250. Results so far are good. It took a bit of cranking to get fuel to the injectors but once it fired off, all was good. Shut it off and let it sit for an hour to see if would still start as easy as before. No worries, fired...

Let me dual fuel and continue to burn the mixed fuel in my tank out. I think I'm down to about 10 gallons of filtered ATF in the 80 gallons of diesel. My pump was rebuilt about 2 years ago and was turned 10% over stock according to the shop that went through it. Your pump might not be happy...

I've read about changing out as the "brick" filters are getting harder to find. I put a new one on last spring and will continue going down the road. I'm sure it helps that my truck only has 7,400 miles on it. Saving up for new tires currently. Sarge will make his 2nd trip to the Ga Rally...

From the emergency cut off valve I used the following parts. JIC flared fitting to 1/4" NPT adapter 1/4" NPT tee 1/4" NPT to 3/8" inverted flare adapter (two) one 20" 3/8" inverted flare steel line one 30" 3/8" inverted flare steel line two 3/8" inverted flare to 1/8" npt adapters one 1/8" npt...

Cut an access hole in my doghouse to remove the 5/32" plug on the rear cylinder head to finally add a second fuel line. Plug has won so far. I have broken (2) 3/8" drive allen sockets using a 1/4' drive impact gun. I'll add some heat tomorrow as research shows that is the best way to overcome...

I had a similar issue and threw the kitchen sink at my truck. Turned out to be a very simple but strange issue worth looking into. I replaced the drier with a Purest unit from Suprman, replaced the governor from Swampdonkey, went through the head of my air compressor (easy to do on an older...

Another PMCS, run it hard weekend. All fluids were fine. Same route, Hwy 300 had a strong headwind while heading south for 15 miles or so. Turned around at the pilot, stopped to feel hubs and center diffs and everything was cool. Got back on the road and it loved the tailwind while getting...

I've had two thanks to the National Guard, no private ownership. The first one was an A1, second was an A1P2. Civilian use would depend on the underlift system. The A1 had a unique square crosstube with two holes on each upright adapter. 1" and 1 1/2" pin holes and would likely be good only...

No maintenance on mine today other than a proper PMCS. Ran it hard for about 40 miles at mostly 55 mph. Surged to 60+ quite a few times but I'm trying to keep my foot out of it. The only maintenance done in the past 2 weeks has been a fuel filter change. Desplined hubs on the front are still...

MK48/15 combo's used the short towbar. They would also pick the front end up using the A Frame on the rear end of the wrecker coupled with a very capable winch. I've added one to my collection as PLS's with E CHU's might cause clearance problems when lift towed behind my M984A4 Wrecker. Never...

tobyS, I honestly believe the best way to have a locking / unlocking hub would be to do what I did. Sure, it's a few bolts to undo and replace on each side so it's not quite as easy as the hubs on my M1028 CUCV. Members have made locking hubs in the past and they may be available but I've read...

Wes is a good guy. I sometimes store stuff that people purchased from Albany, Ga and he picks it up in a timely manner. FloridaAKM's trailer was an abnormality, Wes dropped it off in my front yard and went to haul some more pressing freight. During that time, I towed it around with my 5 ton...

tobyS, the splines in my caps measure roughly 2 3/16" at the high points using a tape measure. My friend who desplined them might have more accurate measurements. He goes by Welder1 on this forum and his name is Eddie. He may not have measured though, he said he turned them until the metal...

Desplined axle caps review I just installed my desplined caps yesterday but was tired from working at my friends shop so I didn't drive it until today. I could tell a difference right away. The modification has some fairly obvious advantages for highway use. The first thing I noticed is how...
