Ok,I figured I would post up one of the quick external differences between a ENDT 673 Mack powered A1 vs a truck powered by the LDS 465-1A Multifuel. It has been mentioned in several recent threads,so I thought rather than hijack someone elses thread,just post this in it's own. As...

Ok,seeing as I have very little "road time" behind the wheel of a GMC deuce,I have a question to pose....... My GMC seems to be "sluggish" when starting out, almost like the driveline is binding up or under load, It's more noticeable in high range vs low. I know most automatics will "creep"...

Folks, With the masses of 5 tons and deuces of all series out there as well as the ones being surplussed,when you are checking/repacking you front wheel bearings take an extra 10 minutes to check/retorque those 20 odd spindle studs that are the main thing holding your wheel,hub and drum,brake...

While I was out working under the hood of the M52A2,I noticed some Strata Blue paint along the edges of the 383 green CARC,I checked in a few more places and it was everywhere under the current CARC and a layer of 24087. It is VERY clean and un modified from what I can tell,that may also...

Well folks,I am at my wits end with this lube trailer,it does not have any spark at either of the 4 plugs,I have checked the wiring in both control boxes as well as under the coil housing behind the front pulley. Everything is connected to the corresponding color coded wire (red to red,yellow...

Well folks,Just thought I would post a few pics for those of you that have never seen the AW bed on your Deuce or 5 ton taken apart. Before I get flamed for scrapping it,this boom is really buchered up,lots of torched holes and extra welding done,not even close to being safe to lift ANYTHING...

Well,After searching the threads and getting questions from other members,I decided to cover the cleaning /rebuild of the fuel tank selector valve used on the M39,M800 and possibly M900 series 5 tons. First off,this valve is a common air leak in the fuel system on the 800 series trucks with...
