Hi All, Well I wanted to throw out an open invite to every going to this event. I recently purchased land right down the road on the Lucerne Valley Cutoff approx 1 mile towards Barstow Road hwy 247 from where Camp Dirt bag is held . I bought this land specifically for camping and using my...

Here is a video and some pics of me when it does run! For some reason the videos only play in Quicktime on my PC? Enjoy.

Failed Misson Well, I kind of made it this year although no one was awake to verify I actually made it out. I got to the camp in my 95' range rover towing the new M105 for the 5 Ton but by the time I got to camp it was around midnight or later and it looked like everyone was sleeping already. I...

Just found out that it's last Military use was in the National Guard in 1990. I have no idea where or what it has been doing since then. Yes, perhaps a short career in Fire Fighting. Maybe it was purchased by a private party and painted camo again. I only wish I could find out it's history..aua

How about that lifter pump? It for sure seems to have a priming issue. One out of 10 times I turn on the main power the pump sounds right and will run fine. The other 9 times the pump sounds like it is running dry. As soon as it catches and primes the truck fire up right away. Since the pump...

The truck is two hours from my house now. I didn't have a pressure tester with me yesterday. Now it's another week or two before I get back to continue the trouble shoot. I did not blow out the fuel lines. I can try that next. When I first primed the system after the tank dump and filter...

Yes, the truck was a private party lien sale purchase. I have no history on this truck. Only lots of question as I try to figure this one out. It's been making me crazy trying to figure out what I have on my hands. I spent all day yesterday power washing it. What a difference! I can actually see...

Hi All, Looking for ideas on what might be the problem. The LDT-465 dies at random while driving and I think it might be the lift pump/fuel pump (in tank). I just bought the truck and done the following to trouble shoot: Cleaned the primary fuel filter. (It looked ok and seems serviceable...

Did the Military ever paint the M54 cargo trucks RED? Was my truck a Military Fire truck? This truck has so many mysteries. After pressure washing the truck for the first time I can see that the truck was last RED everywhere! No, I don't think is is the RED oxide primer. I can see several layers...

This weekend I pressure washed the engine and undercarrage and can now clearly see the data tags. The engine looks new and has a date of 1989 and LDT-456. The injection pump says LDS-465 and look like new. I found that the whole truck was red and the bed has been replaced. Could this have been a...

I just verified it is a Model: LDT-465-1D Date: 5-89. It has the LDS-465 Injection pump? Is this a good combo? I am having a problem with fuel delivery. I am just now starting to dig in and start the trouble shooting. I am going to start a new thread on the fuel delivery issue.

Hundy, I want a set of wheels for my 5 ton. Let's make a deal. Are you interested in a trade? I have a nice AR I would be willing to trade. I just bought the truck and after parts, registration etc. I am tapped. I also sell audio/video systems. How about a nice new LCD or plasma? ****, I will...

I guess that is a good thing that it has a newer engine? I am still learning a lot every day about these trucks. I could either have a bastard truck or one that is a great setup. But I am still clueless as to what I have other than I love it. Is the LDT-465-D1 with what ever turbo I have a good...

Does anyone know which primary fuel filter this will take? The engine is the LDT-465-1D Multifuel. 1989 year engine on data tag. I only have this picture to go off of. The vehicle is 2 hours away and I was hoping to be able to show up with the right filter this weekend for the Barstow Rally...

Hi Guys, I finally got the engine data tag info. Here is what it says. Model: LDT-465-1D Date: 5-89 It does have the loud whister turbo on it. This is in the 1954 M54 i just picked up. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks, Mike

What do you think I should paint this truck? It's a 1954 M54 Cargo truck. It's been updated to Multi-fuel from Gas. It has the tranny and transfercase updated. I also believe the bed has been changed. I want to know if I should paint it the modern paint scheme or should I paint it what it would...

Can anyone tell me about my truck off the data plates? Any history or upgrades it should have. The truck is 2 hours away from me so I don't have the ability to check it out other than the pictures I have. I am guessing that it was upgraded to the LDT-465-1C. It has the loud turbo whistle. So...
