Long time ago I got some items from HI (and had a very big shipping bill) and the demil code changed. Got a letter saying to take them to the nearest DRMO. I called and said these went from HI to SC, what about the shipping cost I incurred? They wound up paying me back for the shipping which...

Get it fixed up and come to the VA MV Rally over the Labor Day Weekend. contact Cabell (cgarbee here) for more info.

On one of mine, I took the USA number, the four digit model number and the five digit actual serial number to make a 17 character VIN. DMV clerks put it in and I got my title and registration (as a 'property carrying' vehicle).

Have you tried the TM 9-2320-212 series? there is a -10, a -20, an -20P, a -34P, and a -35 that I have access to. Lots of sources on the web too.

When you quit asking about the TIME!!!!!!

I got a DMV clerk really confused when I told here this story - "REO made the first design, Studebaker made them till they went bankrupt, then Kaiser Jeep picked up production, that's when this one was made, and the company then became General Products Division of American Motors, then AM...

Opti-lube XPD and Biobore. Takes care of the lubricity and kills the bugs that eat the diesel while in your tank.

We We ordered a 5 gallon pail direct from Opti-Lube, came out to 54.49 a gallon delivered. Good Stuff! It goes in all our machines.

Before I got into MV collecting, my socket set consisted of 3/8 drive metric only, now I have a full set of 3/8 and half inch in both SAE and metric, plus open end/box wrenches up to 1.5 inch, and a small set of 3/4 drive manual sockets, including that 8 point. Not to mention crescent...

Run the ground lead on the VOM back to the neg on the rear battery. You might have a bad ground. These trucks are famous for having bad grounds!

I use 12 to 20 ton jacks. They don't seem to leak down as fast as the smaller ones, and they are usually taller to start with!

He said he filled out the VSA-12 and presented it. Sounds like the folks in the office were having a bad day!

Look for a .PDF version of GTA 9-1-185 (5 pages), print it off and keep it in your binder for the deuce. it's title is "Systematic Inspection Procedure for the 2 1/2 Ton Truck". The Lube Order is LO 9-2320-209-12-1 and is 14 pages long. Keep it in your truck binder also.

You are correct. They add the specific 'juice' for each brand, it's less than 1 part in 1000 and is done first when the tanker truck is loaded. Same deal with the 'bio'/alcohol stuff put in. It goes in first, then the generic gasoline/diesel fills the tank to it's capacity, mixing everything...

2-3 psi will be fine, an adult male should be able to hold it down over the fuel opening with one hand.

15W40 diesel rated motor oil, no matter what brand will be best for these engines. Ask around the heavy truck shops near you for what brands are available, or that they prefer. Interesting side note - an Exxon refinery had a fire and was shut down, now Shell Rotella is in short supply - who...

A deuce will run without an in-tank pump, as long as there is no air in the lines going all the way to the injectors. One way to accomplish this is to 'pressurize' the tank with air. Several methods have been described in other threads, pick one.

And to set the seals evenly, make a tool out of a four inch schedule 40 "Y" plastic pipe. It's just the right size to evenly smack them on, and you hold it by the 'side' angle and whack it with a stout piece of wood on the top end. It does not take a lot of force.

Sounds like you only had a 'surface charge', try leaving the charger on each battery at least three days. It will cycle on and off, but will get a little 'deeper' charge each time.

Rear seals are not bad IF you have a tire jack (or a pallet jack) and a concrete surface. Pull the cap, take the shaft out, undo the nuts, slide the entire hub off tires and all, , clean it up, new inner seal, re-grease the inside of the hub, slide it all back on, install the cork seal, then...
