I'm nominating Member Godawgsdv8's Deuce with his permission. A beautiful picture of "Frankenstein" pulling Parade Duty for the Doerun, Ga "May Day" Parade with last month's Winner. The truck is named appropriately, it has alot of Gasser Deuce parts as received by it's current owner including...

I'd like a video as well but have some history with a smokey M923 with a NHC-250. I tried foolishly to run 50/50 waste ATF and Diesel. The mixture was clean and filtered by a centrifuge set-up that passed first through a 30 micron filter, centrifuge, 5 micron and finally a 2 micron finishing...

It does a pre-check when you start the truck. If everything seemed fine to the ABS system then good to go in it's mind. I would suggest if you've never had the drums off and checked the brake shoe linings and packed the bearings with grease as part of an Annual Service, it's time to schedule...

I started with a Deuce, got a second Deuce, serviced and sold it to pay for the first one, purchased a CUCV M1028 for the wife and then the 5 ton question came up. I initially took a M923 up to the Georgia Rally to see if I could sell it for a friend. I didn't get any real nibbles and thought...

Is the engine turning faster than 2,100 rpm when it shifts up?

My buddy comes off harsh but I know what he's trying to tell you. Spraying ether in an engine that uses glowplugs (yours does) or a intake heater do not react well if ether is introduced into the intake tract if even a portion of the system is working. The reason you have smoke but no fire is...

Mine is not a dually M1028 but it previously sat in a dehumidified cave in Norway with a Fire Suppression Unit mounted in the bed for about 22 years. It's one of 3 that sat ready to be used as an Airfield Fire Rescue truck in Norway and got sent home to the US.

That's a good sign that the hoses and everything related to the cooling system is healthy and holding tight. You're truck doesn't have an overflow bottle and the cap holds around 7 to 14 psi of air pressure before it allows any overflow out of the radiator. If you fill a deuce radiator to the...

Here's my Youngest Son and his work of art. His drawing skills have improved since May of 2015 and so has his enthusiasm. Thanks Everyone for participating whether it be nominating or voting. Now let's see what you have up for consideration. Now General Non-Sense doesn't have to listen to...

Thanks Kindly for everyone who voted, does not matter if for my truck or not, participation is what makes this fun. My little buddy is out getting supplies together to make a posterboard drawing similar to what he did in May of 2015 when Sarge Won. One thing I Love about the Campaigning this...

Let's make tomorrow a Day that General Non-Sense moves forward and claims the title! He's running second place to a very nice M151 by only 1 vote to tie, 2 to move ahead. I'm placing this in your hands and vote for which truck you truly like, no worries either way. A nice Deuce in 3rd place...

The flasher unit is likely bad. It only has 3 wires going to it if memory serves correctly. 24 positive and negative in, 24 out to turn signal switch. The turn signal switch sends power to the left, right or all four lights as determined by selection on the switch. When it senses load it...

I'm running well against some very nice trucks this month. My little buddy has pushed one truck to Victory Circle and so I'm going to pull some heart strings with these pictures. He was born into this hobby and we're taking the 5 ton to a 5K run in the morning! It would be so much easier to...

I second that it can only go in the "correct" slot but after recently doing an injection pump swap I'll toss this out. Use a piece of halfmoon shaped cardboard to insert the bolts while you start the threads. Use a socket extension and run all the bolts down hand tight without a ratchet. If...

The trucks I've had this issue on are the newer C7 powered variants. It's not an easy task to get to the nut in question. You have to get the front cover off which involves removing everything else in the way to do that. I'd let it ride for now and deal with that issue when it comes. Please...

Have you ever replaced or had the injection pump rebuilt on your truck? Mine started acting similar to yours when my injection pump was on it's way to failure. A quick way to check to see if your injection pump is on it's way out is to pull the fuel return check valve (technically referred to...

Adding a turbocharger to a non-turbocharged diesel is no big deal and you already have the correct manifold and turbo. You just need an oil supply and drain line. Once you sort that out you will be miles ahead. In my personal experience, my NHC-250 pulls the gears just fine even when towing a...

More pictures of a Wonderful 5 Ton spending time with his family, both iron and people! Mrmag, my 5 ton feels your pain when it comes to Jeeps winning. General Non-Sense even has to live around the only CUCV to win MV of the month!

I had a similar issue when the front seal went out on my injection pump and filled my crankcase with a few gallons of diesel. Left the house and my truck was running strong, shifting through gears and acting "normal". I made 2 stops and headed home. I made the turn onto a 4 lane road about 8...

Years have gone by since I first got the truck but I'll try my best to summarize these pictures. Leesburg Spirit of Christmas Parade which he has attended every year since I got him, line up in my yard in 2017 (he has friends), Briggs 10th Birthday (He wanted to ride to the train museum in a...
