Kenny,
I don't know how far geographically dispersed they are but I'd bet TimNTrucks might be able to help if he's close. I've seen him at the GA Rally for quite a few years now and I'm pretty sure I'll get to drink a beer with my bayou buddy this year as well.
Back to the original poster, It should rev fairly freely in 1-3 when you stomp on the throttle. 4th should hold till about 40 mph and 5th takes a little while to get to 55 indicated. That's how mine rolls and it's on 11's. I've turned the fuel up using advice on here but do not have a pyro...
The dual circuit brakes are a great upgrade. Playing Devil's advocate, you can't argue with the millions or billions of miles these trucks have traveled with a single circuit brake system as long as the operator followed the PMCS chart in the TM. That part is not complicated, there are Before...
I'd like to nominate "Proud American" as he is off of his probation period for winning last year. I think it's still important to remember the role that the "GunTrucks" filled in both Vietnam and in more current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. In this picture, I had the pleasure of meeting...
It doesn't get very cold in SW GA but on a 17 degree day, my truck fires off fine and drops from high idle within 2 or 3 minutes of startup. On a 90 degree day, it drops within 30 seconds and regardless of the outside temperature, it never goes to high idle unless it's been parked for 12 hours...

I'll provide a short update that Sarge is free from harm. He was caught up within this scheme in which I almost became a defendant. I posted earlier that I didn't think I would be found and that perhaps...
2deuce, It Won MV of the Month in May against some awesome competition. He really didn't have a chance but if you read through some of my campaign posts, you'll figure it out pretty quickly. I agree it probably should not be driven but if you read that thread along with a thread you can find...
Original trucks are still out there. I bought this one about 5 years ago. It's original down the the Firestone Tires it rolled off the line on 30 years ago but they'll be replaced soon. It had 2,164 miles on it when purchased and had spent most of it's life in a de-humidified cave in Norway.
I'm bringing an unmolested M923A0 for sale. It's still on 11's but will start and run just fine. Evidence of that will be that it made it 180 miles to get it there. It's not my truck and not a member on here either but it is good to go. 6,000 is the asking price. Good Batteries and the only...
I have a leg for a gun ring mount on the passenger side front of my cab. Yours for free but a donation to the wrecker crew who will be needed to remove it is recommended. I'm sure 73M819 (Ron) and his friends can get it off of my truck for you.
Mine clunks when turning right off the pavement onto my dirt road. Front and both Rear axles have been checked and serviced by myself. I think Recovery4X4 has likely figured it out. My truck will make it's 5th 200 mile one way trip to the GA Rally in a few months and I'm not worried about the...
Trying to get a group together from SW Georgia. So far we have 4 Deuces, a camper trailer, a new dodge pulling a gooseneck with a CUCV and a side by side. PB never told me how much go's into getting a group together but we will all have a sit down meeting soon. For all who voted Sarge into...
PB,
We need some updates and more importantly pictures. I wish I could have made it. For all concerned, I killed the interview so I'm pretty confident that I will be promoted to GS-12 soon as a Safety and Occupational Health Specialist. If not, no worries, GS-11 pay is what I've been used...
PB,
Tony will sleep better without hearing me snoring or arguing about who is going to drive Proud American. I'm glad that it's running correctly again and I hate that I will not be able to take it to the Gathering.
Sir, my truck is not a rare one. I was planning to go with PB and possibly drive Proud American if I could talk Tony into riding in the gun box. I agree that it's a good avatar though. I was installing a heater on my truck and was wearing some old uniform items that I had been issued because...
Contact Clinto on here. He is about as thorough on repairs to these trucks as you'll find, including a job like yours. He's near Athens so not too far from you.
Vote for the Goat. He was some fierce competition for me in May. It's a very cool and unique vehicle and I'm amazed by how far along it's come in such a short time.
PB,
I won't be able to join this year. I've got a job interview for a promotion at work on Thursday morning, so wish me luck on that!!! I'll make it next year.
Being a Wrecker Operator, we run into this all the time. Take the bolts off of two opposing caps. Kick the driveshaft close to the yoke and it'll loosen one cap/bearing assembly. Now kick the other direction. Don't loose the needle bearings or the u-joint will have to be replaced. Don't...
