Sarge has found a ride and will be there on Thursday around the same time as myself thanks to a good friend of mine, Riddle1. I will be following behind a pair of Deuce and a Halves in my M923. I hope to see everyone around lunchtime on Thursday and making some deals! I'm also looking forward...

I thought I had everything locked on, still do, just have to adapt and overcome. A typical Monday turned into a hit a 50 pound dog on the way to work in the Trans Am day. That is a hit toward the negative but keep moving. I had dropped my M105 trailer off at a friends shop to load their...

5 Ton is back together and ready to roll to the Ga Rally. I had a how dumb am I moment this evening when I couldn't get it to go in gear. The transfer case was still in neutral from the tow preparations. Anyhow, it is running awesome and somewhat stronger than before. I got to drive it...

I need one! I'm not sure of the price but I am interested somewhat! I am partial to the M151's but jeeps are becoming rare as hens teeth these days.

I'll look in the shed but I'm sure I do. Even swap for an air governor you sent me a few months ago?

Of course. R & S Diesel in Albany, GA off of Roosevelt Avenue. I have no affiliation with them but certainly appreciate a good job at a fair price. There's quite a few shops that won't touch these anymore.

Look in the classifieds. Member Fuzzytoaster over in Texas normally has good takeouts for about $90. A spare PCB is as important as a spare tire on these trucks. Buy 2 if you suspect that yours is bad so you have an extra one.

The 5 ton lives! Installed the injection pump, bled the lines and boom, it is back to life! I had a few loose ends to tie up but got called out once again by the National Guard. A few observations though. The truck will hit 2,200 rpm very quickly and sounds stronger than I have ever heard...

You don't need the gear reduction. That will break loose lugnuts torqued to 400 ft lbs. I keep one in my truck at all times. It will also tighten them down to spec. Just need a 1/2 to 3/4 drive adapter.

I got a phone call from the injection pump shop. He felt like both seals on the drive flange failed simultaneously. I asked if it was because I had upped the fuel screw and he laughed. He claimed that it still was not to factory specs with my 1/2 a turn. I asked if it had anything due to...

Copying some comedians from earlier. Cabin rented, order of march sorted out, things to buy list complete, family plans in order to ensure my group will be there. All of that is a resounding "GO". Whoops, my injection pump on my 5 ton decided to act silly and give my NHC 250 a Pre Rally...

Ok, once again I have overthought the process. Swamp Donkey, we would likely be miles ahead and alot less work involved it we simply inserted a drill bit into the "emergency shutoff" and adjusted the position of the set screw device on the cable. Full fuel would be available and an engine shut...

I need to pick her brain one day, I'm a little older than her and am a GS-11. I'd like to have some advice on how to climb the ladder quickly.

The weep hole was unfortunately packed with 30 years worth of crud from an inexperienced owner not even knowing it was there. Some fuel did come out of it though, right onto the oil filter canister. Roughly 7 gallons of diesel found it's way past it though and judging by it's location, a slow...

I had a breakdown Sunday and had to have my M923A1 towed. Thankfully I had a towbar in the bed and a friend close by with an M923A2. My truck made it home safely. I pulled the Injection pump and sure enough I found my problem. 15 gallons of oil drained out, IP removed and turned into an...

I would, I considered just letting the shop fix what was broken but when looking around after talking to the injection pump guru. The actual technicians are getting quite old. They hire on family to write on the sales ticket and they hire young help to pull the pumps. A commercial shop turned...

I'm thinking of adding a butterfly valve to the air intake horn and making that my emergency stop. I have an engineer friend with a shop but that will be a winter project.

I am looking for an A/C compressor bracket for an NHC 250 and a tensioner depending on price. I am looking for other stuff as well depending on budget available. My injection pump decided to fail on my M923 so that ate some of my "spending money" rather quickly this year but I still remain...

I've got a Rally to go to. My friend with the A2 offered to let me use his truck but I feel I set the 250 crowd back enough already being towed by an A2. My pride unfortunately is not worth the cost of a commercial wrecker tow when you have friends close by.

Pulled the injection pump at the advice of a friend and quickly found my problem. The seal for the driving flange had ruptured. That is why I had fuel in the oil and also why it lost prime while being towed home. I spoke with the technician at R & S Diesel Injection about possible "why's"...
