I cancelled all my life insurance. When I die everybody is going to cry at the funeral.:p

If you put the deuce in Low Range it is almost impossible to stall the engine out and it is easier to steer when creeping along while getting used to operating a large vehicle. When I was a Drivers Training NCO and I had a newbie that had never driven a standard shift I always taught them to use...

If you haven't filled it with fresh fuel yet and you didn't drain it using the plug on the bottom of the tank you really should do it that way. Pumping the tank out is not going to get all of the crud out. Once you remove the plug (this may require a big pull bar and a cheater pipe) and drain...

Dying due to one's own stupidity is an act of Karma. It may not be fair (could have been a young person with the potential to turn his life around) but it happens every day. I just saw a post on FB about two meth heads that broke into a police storage facility and stole ammunition and tactical...

Pictures of the offending parts would be great.

This has been an on going problem with this engine since the trucks were fielded. I was in a unit that changed over from the 800 series truck straight to the cargo 900A2 series. At night in the Motor Pool you could hear the solenoids de-energizing with an audible "clicking" sound. Drivers that...

The standard engine is the 140 HP (approx) multi-fuel made by White, Hercules or Contenential. Occasionally you might find one with the 200 HP (aprox) engine that was standard in the multi-fuel 5 tons. There are a lot of re-power options that have been discussed on this site. I always was...

The only thing that lies more consistently than a career politician is a military vehicle fuel gauge. When we were flat towing a deuce with a deuce back from Arkansas a few years ago I ran the same truck out of fuel twice because I thought I knew where the "drop dead" level was. When the gauge...

Your pretty smart for a dammed old Yankee.

If you keep your foot off the firewall you can get 8MPG or better depending on terrain. Most of my deuces liked about 58 mph but I never had super singles. You can prob cruise at 62 or so and not be up against the governor.

What Jeff said. Better read than dead.

It's called a "Whistler" for obvious reasons.:whistle:

Because Murphy is a &%&%*(*(*%%$&%$$$$.

More horsepower will mean more strain on the driveline. As long as you feather foot it you should be OK.

Driving a Mack is like kissing your sister.....it's OK as long as nobody sees you and you don't start liking it too much.

I had an M54 tractor and it would not pull a greasy string out of a fat cat's a$$. I'd get a M900 series and look at alternative fuels but you risk FUBARing the engine. There are all kinds of plans out there for running straight veggie oil in diesels but again you risk destroying an expensive...

The M900 trucks with the 250 made a weird sound when going down the road. I never figured out exactly what caused it but it is common. If the knock increases and decreases under load then you may have a problem. I would find an old school Cummins mechanic in your area and have him check it...

If you want a "tribute truck" leave it original. Otherwise it's your dog and you can whop it if you want to.

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy :cookoo:. Don't say you weren't warned.

Because Murphy is an opportunist.
