    Hemtt vs combat vs normal rim identification?

    Dang..didn’t notice the different centers on that first rim. I’d just put combats or LMTVS on the front. You just can’t turn quite as sharp as with the Hemitts

    Hemtt vs combat vs normal rim identification?

    Looks like an LMTV rim and probably only has bud style on one side. Combat rims have 10 bolts, LMTVs have 20 and I believe Hemitts have 17.

    M923 turn signal issue

    That box is your failsafe box. The flasher box should be on the firewall up above your left foot area.

    6x6 engaged ???? Help

    That order is correct on the switches. If the yellow lever is down the truck is in high. If the lever is all the way up it’s in low and should also be in 6x6. If you want 6x6 in high you have to flip the switch under the lights to “in”. Very important!!! Absolutely do not use reverse if...

    6x6 engaged ???? Help

    Take a good look at the starting and shutting off sequence on your switches also. If done in the wrong sequence you can fry your PCB box.

    6x6 engaged ???? Help

    The lever on the floor also engages the 6x6 when pulled up and put in low unless your truck has been modified in some way.

    Any modified parking brake

    MULTIFUEL HARD / NO START

    The fuel lever should move easily and freely. Take it apart and clean it till it snaps back and forth easily. The two screws holding it with wire might be too tight or it’s gummed up inside. If the truck started easily but won’t start now you probably lost the button under the hydraulic...

    Any modified parking brake

    Is the cable moving freely. We had one a while back that had rusted up and just need some WD-40 sprayed in.

    Any modified parking brake

    A disfunctional parking brake is exactly how diesels start when left in gear. Please use wheel chocks until it’s fixed.

    To Sand or Not To Sand

    I think your going to be very surprised at how good that deuce does in the sand. Around here we buy deuces and 5 tons specially for the sand and rarely get stuck unless we’re towing something really heavy. Like 98G says..if you start getting stuck immediately stop and air down. I run my 5 ton...

    M35A3 service garages in Maine?

    Sounds like a great time to get to know your truck and get your hands dirty. There’s nothing better than the feeling of doing the work yourself and the sense of relief know that if something goes wrong you understand the system/truck and know what to do. Saves a lot of money too!!

    Over temp switch

    Finally someone points out where it’s at!!!! I’m deleting mine. It drives me crazy.
  14. Elk1111

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    I’m sure you have already checked this but how dirty is your air filter?

    M35A2 starting issues

    How old are the batteries?

    I would run a separate fuel line from a container of clean fuel directly to to injection pump so you eliminate the fuel system. If it starts up after running a bit then at least have narrowed it down to a leak somewhere between the tank and the injection pump.

    Need help with Brakes leaking down and needing bleeding constantly.

    Your order is correct except the drivers front is first then the passenger front last.

    Need Help, Brand new to the Deuce!

    The button controls the quill inside the hydraulic head which in turn controls the timing of the injection of the fuel to each fuel line. If you have fuel to the injection pump but no fuel out of the injection lines it’s usually the bottom came off. You can check this by taking off the center...
