4671 Hybrid, IF PB can set-up a few more weeks of storage and Simp can get to the truck the first half of August, THAT course of action would be best. I have a few reservations about towing the truck that I was willing to gamble on IF it was a move or lost situation. My first concern is...

PB, just like you've taught me alot over the years on the best way to be a Soldier, CAMO will still be there. You've allowed me to use the name for years as CAMO, Leesburg Detachment for my group in Parades and etc. I'll carry the torch and you will always be our 1SG.

Okay, we are in crunch time. I'm planning on towing this truck tomorrow so at least it is at a safe location. I never got a firm agreement with the owner but he is talking through PM to Simp5782 so I'm going to take that as agreement to the plan that he and Simp put together. For the owner...

Is moving it to Leesburg, Ga off the table? If not, looks like I need to get re-engaged if you cannot get it moved. I let the issue fizzle because you and Papabear had a deal going but I understand things change. Everyone involved has my phone number but just in case, 229-364-2842. Papabear...

When I posted in this thread I still had a Deuce! I did notice a positive difference when switching to Non-Detergent 40W oil in the trans and transfer. I used "Freds" cheap oil and the truck is still pulling peanut wagons just fine for the gentlemen I sold it to. I doubt he has changed it.

There will be a member on here soon who gets one, not me though. I think Simp summed up my reason. M923A0 is about as far forward in the hobby as I want to go. Purely mechanical systems and zero electronics to keep it running. Don't mistake my logic, I love the newer trucks while someone...

Since you are replacing the injection pump, now's a good time to remove the fuel injection lines, remove the valve covers and do some snooping around. A stuck valve will attempt to stay in the downward position even when the rocker arm does not have tension against it.

Just to understand where you are at, is the old injection pump still on the engine or are you halfway into installing the new one? I had a similar issue when installing the 3 bolts into the injection pump drive gear when installing my new injection pump. I had tightened the first two down just...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rSHqvjDksg I like YouTube videos for explanations as well. Long and Short of it, if all of the glow plugs are drawing from the batteries the stock system works well. That's why Curtisje measured 24 plus volts at each end of the resistor bank, no load was...

Sir, I hate to take away from the original question and I'll state up front that I admire your expertise on the CUCV's. While there are no "cascading glow plugs", the stock system on these trucks have a cascading effect in the event that 1 glowplug fails. The resistor behind the air cleaner...

cucvrus, No new dog in the pound, I did call it FIDO instead of ROVER though. I should have stated Glow Plug Resistor Bypass which of course ensures that the system is only fed 12V. I know the stock system works great if all of the glow plugs are operational but we also know that it can...

Mine starts on about the second revolution of the engine even down to 10 degrees outside. I have AC 60G glowplugs and have done the Doghead 12V modification on the glowplug system. The Starter is the only thing on the truck that is 24 volt powered.

I used to idle my truck at 1,800 rpm while doing weekly battery charging (bad idea by the way, research wet stacking). Anyhow, when the fan comes on it will pull the truck down to about 1,200 rpm, belts would chirp upon engagement and it roars very loud. The first time it ever happened I was...

Let us know where the coolant level is inside the tank on the passenger side of the engine when you check it again. The manual calls for about an inch below the neck. If the cap makes a hissing suction sound when you pull it off, you can rule out a leak.

CARMAN, Just curious, what kind of driving conditions are you under running those temperatures? My M923's fan never cycles on when moving a constant 40 mph or better and never budges over 180. Around town I'll have the fan cycle on and off as needed around 200 degrees in SW GA heat...

You've never really done it all until you led the best Squad on the Planet or been at the wheel of an M984A4! In the interest of keeping it M1089 related I'll toss out two pictures of my old one!

As a former Wrecker Operator I had to vote for Coffey1.

I have a 5 ton now (M923 N/A) but my observations are valid from when I had a Deuce. Research will tell you that a D Turbo is better than a C Turbo if you look at cfm numbers and mapping numbers. My Deuce had a D and I put a C on it. Seat of the pants feel, no difference, C is louder and...

Now I have a smart phone and I still can't capture much action. My Soldiers dropped a truck off at CSMS South but it was muddy as could be so they had to re-hook and take it to the wash rack. They also brought in a HMMWV but I didn't take pictures because an M984A4 pulling a HMMWV seems kinda...

Micro, I wished I would have known about this event sooner. I would have planned to bring my 5 ton up instead of working in my garden. 229-364-2842 for future events Sir.
