    Heavy Hauling with a Deuce

    I just used my Deuce to back an MK14 trailer and hook up to another MK14 trailer. The combo is normally hauled by an MK 48 which has a 425hp Detroit. I don't think anyone else has tandem towed this combo with the prime mover being a M35A2 and both trailer's riding on Pintle hitches but my...

    Deuce hauls an MK 18 Trailer

    Had a nice trip today. I forgot to bring my camera so there's not much in the name of "in progress" photos. I talked Atomic into helping me pull a trailer for Hoefler. I didn't explain exactly what was going to be involved because what's the fun in that. We first went to Mr. Herbert Kellam's...

    Truck wants to go faster when towing a trailer

    I've had a M1028 for some years now. I just got him a M101A1 and have been towing that for a few days. I've always driven him at about 45 to 50 MPH but now that the trailer is behind him, he want's to go 55 MPH at roughly the same push on the throttle. He even seems quieter which makes no...

    Testing Water on Selling

    I'm testing the waters, no truck is for sale at the moment. I have a 1971 M35A2 in pretty good shape. It has a Hercules Multifuel that was one of the last few motors the government could buy, it's a 1991 build, not rebuilt but new in 1991. It has spin on oil filters and a spin on primary fuel...

    Converting M923A0 to M923A1

    Had a great time with my friends Atomic and Riddle today. Riddle got this wild idea that his M923 needed to be an A1. After some horsetrading, he came up with some 14's that were not mounted on rims but he came up with those to. Anyhow, he left the wheels and tires with me to mount. I took...

    oil for fuel

    Quick question after searching to no avail. Does the NHC-250 burn oil as fuel in a mixture? I've got a truck who has stayed here for a while, it's almost out of Diesel and I've got some used motor oil to help fill the tank.

    Draining Rear Battery

    I'm having an issue with my M1028 and unfortunately, I'm about 640 miles away from it. My wife tried to start it to move it and cut the grass. She stated that the Gen 1 light was really dim, Gen 2 light was bright, wait light really dim and of course, it wouldn't attempt to start. She hooked...

    Losing Prime

    I've got a CUCV at work that is losing it's prime when it sits overnight. The shop guys have tried replacing the fuel filter, tightening some clamps on fuel lines but the problem is still there. The truck is another one of those Norway Cave trucks with less than 4,000 miles on it. My personal...

    Thoughts!!! considering buying and adapting a modern drivetrain.

    I'm considering buying a F800 with a 8.3 Cummins equipped with a Bosch P pump, and Allison 4 speed auto to replace my Deuce's drivetrain along with a set of 4.90 to 1 Oversun Engineering gears and some Steve6X6X6 disc brakes. It would be alot of work but it does seem like a heck of a project...

    How hard can they suck??

    I'm working on pulling the turbo on my truck and got as far as the bolts that hold it to the exhaust manifold. Well, I hooked the oil line back up thinking that a little heat should help. I cranked it up, took the top to the PB Blaster can and put it up to the intake for a little testing...

    818 sucking air, tried alot

    I'm currently working on an M818 that I recovered out of Thomasville, GA. Anyhow, I replaced all the rubber lines to the selector valve and the main rubber line from the filter housing to the IP. It ran great for a little while, idled for once and was somewhat responsive to the throttle. Now...

    M939A1 vs M939A2

    Aside from the better stock torque number's and CTIS (which is mostly disabled on the trucks that have it), is the turbocharged 8.3 much of a reason to go with an A2. I ask because I've got a chance to get 1 but not both. I've been doing some reading and I'm pretty sure if I turbo the NHC-250...

    National Guard convoy, Ft. Stewart to Albany, GA.

    I've finally figured out some of the older folks in this forum. Ya'll buy and run these trucks because you had the chance to when the trucks and ya'll were in your prime. I had a nice trip back from Ft. Stewart today while driving my newly assigned M1089 FMTV Wrecker with less than 700 miles...

    Injector Fouling cure

    I've got a very low mile M1028 that runs great except for 1 issue. It will occasionally foul an injector and the only cure is to floor it. The increase in fuel delivery will cause the dead cylinder to start firing again everytime. It's only got 2800 miles on and am I'm sure they're not 102800...

    Spring Maintenance / Oil Leaks

    I'm getting ready to do my spring maintenance on the truck and have just a few questions. I'm doing everything but the hard lines on the brakes and have NOS parts in hand. I've got oil leaking out of the output shaft on the trans and input shaft on the t-case. Does anyone have seals available...

    cold start's

    Started my well maintained Deuce in +17 degree weather tonight with no intake heater assist on the first bump of the starter button. The CUCV stalled out even equipped with good glowplugs. It stayed on the second go around. Is there any harm with running these trucks about an hour a week at...
