Detroits are certainly an interesting 2 stroke beast, and yes the blower is pretty cool to! BUT what is with that hood assembly? Cool truck but that hood is enough to make a MOM turn and run! KK

WOW Gentlemen this is one heck of a thread, and one heck of a topic!Although its NOT a new one and everybody in this hobby has the same concerns as have been voiced here. I try very hard to stay out of anything political for obvious reasons, do I vote, YES I do and I do try to do my best but...

General your post takes me back a few years when I got my Deuce ready for paint I did not have much rust to deal with but even though its not a big truck there is sure a lot of area to cover, and like you said THIS what your doing right now is going to dictate how the truck looks in the end...

Bigmike thanks for the info on this it looks like just what I need for the inside of the doors on my 925A1, what a huge difference! KK

Military trucks are kind of like airplanes when it comes to fuel gauges, that is the reason we know very closely what our fuel burn rates per hour at the specific power setting we are running the engine, our trucks are the same way, keep them full of fuel and get rid of the fuel fill screens so...

Stupid question but to be called a gun truck I thought armor plating and glass was involved? If it just takes a LWS I am very cool with that because then I have a gun truck also! Nice looking truck Csm Davis! KK

Well to anybody who is/was sharing the same troubles I was having with their M920 with HEMTT rims and 1600R20 tires on the truck it looks like I have the solution, in my case any how! In the beginning of this thread I explained that on my truck the tires were so out of balance that it was...

I see a lot of reading TMs in your future! Congrats on a possible Deuce acquisition, they are very good reliable trucks! I dont know your back ground on trucks in general but the main things your going to have to get familiar with are the engine, running gear and transmission/transfer case...

Randy your 1078 quest is sounding kind of fun, with that said I am one of those guys who in the past has ALWAYS done his own recoveries, I hauled a Unimog from NY to ND on a trailer behind my pickup, I also hauled a Unimog from off an Island off the coast of Washington to ND, so I have covered a...

Belmor I got my 925 out of Ft Riley, I had a good friend get the truck off post for me and I essentially went through the fluids, did a cursory check on tires belts batts. and the next morning I drove it 500 miles home with the only issue being a headlight that the low beam went out on, a piece...

Guys Thanks VERY much for giving me a few things to try BEFORE I go the Equal route, tomorrow I will drop the air pressure down in the tires into the 60 PSI range and give that a try, one question I feel that I can for sure safely drop the rear axles down to 60 PSI but because of all the...

Hey guys I have recently mounted 1600 R20 tires on HEMTT rims on my M-920, the first time I drove the truck on the road I got a very rough jumpy ride and I just figured the tires were as round as a horses head because the truck had been in my shop for a few months, and it was cold outside...

A few years back I was at a tractor pull watching all the divisions and during a break in the tractors they had an exhibition of a guy with a 12V Detroit in a cab over truck pull the sled, the part that just amazed me was the amount of frame FLEX on the truck when he got the front wheels in the...

Mspike I am not familiar with the 1070 yet but when you say it had a dual gauge dash cluster are you saying it has the tach and speedo in one unit? Is it a tachograph? If it is I may be able to offer you some further information. If it is in fact an ELECTRONIC Tachograph PM me and I may be...

Lets NOT forget the beautiful looking U1300L Unimog with what looks like a MK 19 on the turret!!! KK

Hello Folks I now have title and license plates in hand for my M-920 and am looking forward to getting it on the road! I have read the user manual cover to cover and have primarily just a couple questions that are not in the User manual. First if I am a stop light with the truck, and I...

May I add just ONE more little suggestion and dont take this the wrong way please, there are many sources and one of them is right on this site and many more scattered around the internet where we can all read the official TMs (Technical Manuals) for all out trucks and assorted equipment. I do...

Congrats on the 939 series and YES without a doubt driving these trucks compared to the Deuce is a world apart! Like you when I got my 925A1 my biggest concern was also the transmission, I researched it all I could and found NO trends for problems NO known problems and everything I have read...

I talked with David a couple years ago about data plates for my Deuce, I ordered a complete set from him and ended up not having any problems at all the quality of the plates were top notch and his prices seemed to be inline with others that I checked out! He seemed to be a little bit eccentric...
