That's probably how I would have done it if I were by myself. My friend owns his own welding and fabrication business and is very meticulous about the work he turns out. What I thought would be a 30 minute process turned into about a 3 hour process. He kept saying "it's going to look factory...

Support Bracket I don't see a support bracket for the muffler in your picture. I modified the factory one by adding a piece of bar stock and fabricating a band clamp to go around the outside of the muffler. Now I wish I would have taken pictures during the process but this one will give you...

If I broke my foot a second time messing with this old mess, there would be a free to good home thread for anything MV related. I plan on keeping the wheels spinning and the beavers grinning!!! Quoted Smokey and the Bandit for that line!

Almost towed the M1028 CUCV home. I did intercept and follow them home. My better half went down the road in it to get my little buddy a scoop of ice cream. CUCV started losing power going down the road and shut off turning into a parking lot. Almost got hit but luckily she got into the...

Thanks kindly Simp, if mine doesn't show a bad leak once everything is cleaned up it will wait some time. I never did change the head gasket on my Deuce when it started leaking at the passenger side front of the block. I ran it 5 years and sold it that way. No rust will ever take hold of the...

My truck has developed a slight oil leak at the front of the engine. It appears to be coming from the accessory drive seal, leaking down the front cover and blown down the drivers side of the engine block / oil lines / etc. I've got to clean everything up and see just how much of a leak it is...

They can be dualed Pictured is Elijah95's truck while it was still owned by Atomic. Taking these tires off 5 ton wheels wasn't bad. Breaking down old tires off of the deuce rims was a pain but that's what friends are for. I was glad when we finished that project.

PMCS then 62 miles of around town / riding through the country driving. Went to recycle cans but they were closed, ate breakfast, returned and my little buddy got paid $11 dollars. Then went to 2 different Wal-Marts to find a book he wanted. Stopped by the Pilot to fill up and rode through...

First 5 pictures are as my truck currently sits this afternoon. If you look closely at the pictures of the individual tires, you can see a slight amount of positive camber that looks pretty even on each side. Pictures 6 and 7 are just random photos of the front end from days ago and picture 8...

I have on my truck, no unusual slop or freeplay during annual services. I've never launched it through the air, not sure about the OP's truck.

I don't know if offset kingpin bushings are available for these axles or not. When viewed from the front, the top of the tire is leaned further out than the bottom on my truck. It drives just fine down the road but I have noticed a slight amount of cupping on the tire. I'm just going to move...

Dealing with the OP's problem, he's losing prime which causes the extended start times. He's got a fuel line that is sucking air. I've never understood why a Cummins PT Fuel system sucking air will cause them to run at a higher idle and be slow to return to idle. They are also slow to respond...

Vote For Sandcobra164 I've got to upload some new pictures to show more recent activity. Luckily I got a smartphone today and have the capability. More to follow but these pictures show a hard working truck and an happy owner with Wonderful Young Boys! I know some in the running this month...

I agree with Simp. My truck is slow to return to idle but if I pull the pedal up by hand, it's nearly instant. It doesn't affect driveability and it always settles to it's normal idle within about 3 seconds so I've not put any effort into fixing it.

PMCS'd the truck and took it on a 30 mile drive so my better half could cut the grass under it. I did have to swap out a battery that went bad suddenly. Still have 2 exide 6TAGM's but what was shocking about the bad battery is it was manufactured in Jan 2017. It still holds 11.6 volts after a...

Kaye's Keep is booked, 5 ton is running good. Still need to put some new tires on the NOS USMC M1028 but it is running like a new truck so Riddle1 should be driving it. If not, medium towbar is ready to drag it kicking and screaming up there behind the 5 ton. It comes in handy as a mild trail...

zeb781, you are in good hands now! I'm just an amateur but AMGeneral knows the Macks as well as most anything else Diesel powered! I'm going to stand back and learn.

One procedure we use on HMMWV's that have sat in storage for some time that don't start is to "give it an enema". Simply put, we remove the return fitting from the injection pump and push pressurized 10 weight oil back into the pump to unseat the check valve. We use a converted grease gun /...

Text message sent, all I can do is sit back and eat popcorn at this point. He's a good guy though, search AMGeneral and you'll see what I already know, he loves the Macks! I've met him personally a few times at a local get together and he's always had solid advice.

I'm not sure how often AMGeneral stops by on here but he knows the Mack ENDT-673 engines very well. I will send him a text to let him know his expertise is welcome on this thread! I'm pretty sure my buddy Elijah95 hit the nail on the head, if the truck runs well once started it might have...
