    towing a lmtv

    I tow these in the National Guard sometimes. If I'm taking a broke truck from the field to post (under 15 miles) I don't pull the driveshaft and keep my speeds low. I check the truck afterwards and have not noticed a hot transmission or transfer case. If we're going long distance I pull the...

    Mr. Tim, I'll take the step ladder for my buddy with a Deuce as long as it had hooks on the top to keep it on the lip of the tailgate while it's down.

    You can have the one out of the passenger side of my M923 cab. It'll still be bolted in place but you're welcome to take it out.

    Simp's M923 Big Cam Repower

    And I thought this was bad. Simp texted me this morning and said he ran his small cam with a similar leak for over a year, add oil and no worries.

    2018 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade

    After today's "shakedown" run, I'm looking for an accessory drive seal / wear sleeve for a 250 Cummins. I'm also interested in a water pump for an M939 A0/A1 truck. My water pump is fine but it has been strongly suggested that I replace it while I have the front of the truck apart. Sounds...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    More rustproofing today. Looks like I may have lost about a quart during my 150 mile trip. It mostly slings it onto the driver's inner fender liner and steering gear. Some oil makes it onto the front cylinder head and even on the outside of the intake for the heater box. Thanks for the...

    I need to disable my LMTV from starting... easiest way to do this?

    You're probably correct, maybe it's just an A1 feature. All I've messed with is the ones in my National Guard unit have them. I get operators with that switch all the time. Sadly, my mechanics often overlook them as well when troubleshooting. Nothing funnier than seeing them hook a set of...

    I need to disable my LMTV from starting... easiest way to do this?

    There are 3 switches on the passenger side frame rail just behind the front tire. One is a Battery Disconnect. Flip that up when you walk away and you should be fine. No one really uses those switches unless the cab is up and you're performing maintenance. Most people don't even know they...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Moved on to cleaning and degreasing the engine. Not a bad job in my trucks case. It does have an oil leak and I'm quite sure it's coming from the accessory drive on the front of the engine and the drops get blown back everywhere. Looking at the 4 stack of pulley's it looks like the fan...

    Roadside assistance that covers a deuce?

    russojap, As mentioned earlier, find friends with capable vehicles close by and invest in a towbar. Sometimes insurance towing policies are stand up, sometimes not. When my 5 ton broke down due to a failed injection pump, I called a friend with a 5 ton and we connected the two trucks...

    You're 395's look good, I'm about to go that route on my truck soon. I love the 14's but the supply for us cheap seats guys is drying up.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Still washing mine to get ready for a parade in Nashville, Ga and later a trip to Durhamtown Off Road Park. I've never taken the truck mudding and live on a sandy dirt road. This thing has red clay stains all over the undercarriage from it's time spent at Ft. Benning. It's taking some time...

    As configured, yes. Install another cable lock on the other side and you can turn it into a push / pull arrangement.

    I'll trade you my thimbles and outer lugs from my M923. Please bring the wheel nuts so I can install them when I put on my new wheels and tires on location. I'll be easy to find since you're truck will be lifting mine for the tire swap.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I think I'm good. I really don't want to change up something that's working good. I'm sure you're take off pump would be awesome and would only take about a hour to swap but I'm sticking to an annual oil change and lube job on the truck prior to going to Durhamtown. The less I mess with the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Made and installed a patch panel for my doghouse thanks to Welder1. I cut a hole into it rather than remove it when I installed my dual fuel line set-up that Simp made for me. The cut I made was not very pretty but the cover panel makes it look factory. Now I need to buy some shrink tubing to...
