    Rogue Problem

    here's one for some head scratching. My 5 ton M54 multifuel drips oil only when standing and not running. The oil drips out from between the sump /gasket/and engine base from one single spot only from between number 4 and 5 sump bolt from the rear passengers side (starter and oil filter side and...

    Will I be safe using this trailer

    these posts are some times really hard to understand. you are pulling "this trailer with my LDS 465" ok that's a deuce and would have no problem towing it. pulling it with something else is a different matter. (loaded with "my LDS 465") OK (sorry one can not delete posts) the first page only...

    what do you pull behind your 5 ton tractor?

    I like the twin pull of 70deuce. I use my m62 (taxed as) tractor for pulling the 47foot sliding deck recovery tariler now as I sold my M54 tractor unit. Usually with 4 jeeps or combination jeeps and a truck.

    Man kat1

    You buy one of these and..you HAVE a super truck. (as in nice, as well as super = tough!) The range is fantastic all types. and (dare I say it (yes)) they do have everything a military truck should possess. like brakes and tire infators that actually work..air driers that actually function, fuel...

    Muffler on a turbo

    I have a good idea How about run the engine at start up without any oil for half a minute!. All my trucks have pre-engine oil pressure pumps fitted. It's so satisfying (and anti-fretting) to see a start up at 60 psi. Pretty much vibration knock and noise free. http://youtu.be/isLN4yulnWU

    5 ton wrecker getting stuck in the same ditch 2 night in a row

    That was quite some time ago..didn't that guy end up letting it go (to the wrecker yard) for the tow fees?

    Deuce stranded me/wife on the Highway

    With those symptoms (and the intank pump not running) it sounds like it was very low on fuel, hard start then went 5 miles. Now it will be air locked so adding fuel is too late. It will have to be primed and bled to run again. Any truck pump (temporarly) fitted now should get you home.
