    Deuce Tips and Tricks

    Turn of motor before turning off battery switch Great question; not sure. I'll do some searching this weekend. I'm active military and remember seeing the article come out in PM or some other forum recently. I'll find it ... Joe

    Deuce Tips and Tricks

    Quick way to fry a generator Hello all, There's a current warning out there, somewhere, about shutting down the motor, completely, before turning off the power switch. That is, the process for shutting down your truck should be: 1. Stop the motor first, as in, there's no movement. With the...

    What's the value of this Deuce? (Pics included)

    M35 Gasser Hi all, That's an Army M35, isn't it? The tag shows year of mfg is 1953 and the contract number starts with "DA", which I'm pretty sure means an Army contract. Regardless, nice early truck for sure. Oldest one I ever drove in the WI Army Guard was a 1949 model M49C ... Thoughts...

    Combat rims ????

    O-rings Thanks for the catch. And, you're totally right -- it's very possible that the o-rings I removed were simply so deformed that they appeared to be triangular in shape. I did take the wheels, with o-ring out, to my local heavy truck place they couldn't help me at all. I suspect that I...

    Combat rims ????

    RE: Combat Wheels Chris, Agreed! My mistake. Thanks for the catch! To all -- still looking for the O-rings for the 20-bolt 5 ton wheels if anyone knows where to find them. I think that Westech will need them as well. Joe

    Combat rims ????

    Combat Wheels Hi all, The wheels pictured are for the M809 series 5 ton trucks that the USMC rebuilt to their specifications in the late 80s/early 90s. The two links below are of trucks I purchased in Hawaii ... notice the wheels on the M813 and the M923: http://shortlinks.net/fjc065 And...

    Which Block Heater Do I Choose??(NHC250)

    ABSOLUTELY install the block heater! It's the ONLY way to go for cold weather starts. Although the Cummins like the candy (ether), block heater plugged in four hours prior to cranking makes the motor start like it was just shut down. Make sure you clock the element correctly; go to...

    M809/M939 5 ton air filter elements

    Air Filters for Cummins Powered 5 Tons Gents, The air filter you're looking for is a military-only application; NAPA can't cross and they can't get. Go to Winslow as he has the lowest price and he's got USGI stuff. CZAR

    knuckle boots again..and again, and....

    5 Ton Boots Firgured I'd mention it again as the topic has popped up again. I've got the 5 Ton boots, non-zipper type, for $20 each or two for $36. I am a believer in the USGI non-zipper boots; more work, but you get to see what's going on inside your steer axle. Go to the following for...

    fuel problem m-813

    I would recommend by-passing the plunger that sits just before the fuel metering pump. The plunger is used to boost fuel pressure in the line (much like pumping the "bulb" on the fuel line to a boat motor). That plunger, although great when it's working, more often than not sucks air and...

    Hi all, I'm new here

    Welcome aboard C'dub. I'd make contact with Bruce Kubu and John Winslow as both may have an M925A2 for sale. That said, steelsoldiers advice is wise; M939A2 trucks' CTIS system is maintenance intensive and A2 parts are generally much more expensive and sometimes more difficult to obtain. An...

    Knuckle boots, who makes 'em?

    5 Ton USGI Non-zipper Knuckle Boots and Inner Wheel Seals :D I've got the American-made USGI non-zipper 5 Ton knuckle boots - $20ea or two for $36: http://czarnik.net/joe/My_Stuff/Surplus%20Parts%20For%20Sale/5%20Ton%20Front%20Axle%20CV%20Boot/ I've got the American-made USGI 5 Ton inner...

    Steering Knuckle Boots where to purchase?

    I would HIGHLY discourage the boots coming in from Korea. I've purchased a few and returned them all. The non-USGI boots use a poorer quality rubber, the sewing is usually terrible, and the zippers are of poorer quality (hold a light to them when zipped, and tell me what you see). Buy USGI...

    Trouble-shooting the Protective Control Box in a 5-ton

    Chris, Tap the control box with a metal headed hammer a few times and then try to fire it up. It sounds like your protective control box is going, but you can make it work for a while yet by giving it a few "love" taps, before you fire her up. Don't worry about screwing up the box, as it...
