My issue turned out to be the injection pump itself but had similar symptoms. I'm not saying that is your issue, I'd start with the basics as others have pointed out. The stock cartridge fuel filter base has a known leak location with a pretty simple fix. 3 options, (1) remove the fuel...

Jimm1009, a bad airpack would show on all drums since it's a single circuit design in a perfect world. You perhaps have a broken brake shoe spring allowing the brake shoe to stay engaged to some extent. It wouldn't take much friction running down the road to heat stuff up. I recently had a...

Going with the Parade Ready look this time. Member Welder1 gets credit for the Flag mount, he had to go with a rather long pole to ensure the Flag does not contact the hood as per code.

Maybe your passenger side rears were spinning and you just couldn't see? Press the Mode button on the the shifter pad to lock the transfer case, light should stay solid. The LMTV / MTV series are similar to the M939 trucks, they power the rears by default and need some operator involvement to...

One last item you will need is a method for actuation in case the fan is actually needed. I see you're in Washington state so it might not need the fan at all except for in stop and go traffic. That's the only time it comes on in my M923, stop and go traffic in the summer on really hot days...

The only reliable way I know to ensure it's making it to the injectors would be to remove the return line. There are two steel lines going into the front cylinder head, trace the lower one back to a T-fitting just below the intake manifold. Disconnect the left line and crank away to see if you...

Garagefull, I see where you're going and it makes sense. I installed a new injection pump on my truck that was meant for a newer 6.5L HMMWV. It is much quieter now and sounds a lot less strained going 55 mph. I know everything is turning the same speed and the injection still occurs as a...

I've not been able to campaign hard for my truck, helping one family out for Christmas and then my own family had some issues. We probably have over 1,000 miles on the Tahoe in the past 4 days but we still made time to take General Non-Sense out to look at Christmas lights on Christmas Eve...

All, In the Spirit of the season I want to start a thread in a new direction. Basic format is call out another member and tell them why you think they are great. Here goes. I want to call out Welder1. You have been my friend for quite a few days and I'm lucky to have you as a friend. We...

I don't have experience using the 50A battery charger through the NATO slave port. I did use my CUCV to charge the dead batteries on my M923 after I left the battery switch on which completely killed the batteries. It had an open circuit voltage of 6.5 volts measured at the slave port when I...

MigginsBros has a good campaign going. Here are some pictures of my truck evolving from a M923A0 to an A1. He's always been a Parade and Rally goer. The first few pictures are him hanging out with a Legend, Proud American in the local Leesburg, Ga Parade. Pictures 3 and 4 show conversion to...

It's been a busy year for this old 5 ton. From recent to last year, Member Welder1 made a flag mount for Parades so that I can match his Deuce. He participated in the 1st Annual Leesburg Veterans Day Parade hosted by the American Legion. Made it to the Annual Company Picnic at Durhamtown Off...

It depends on the application. In the Marine Corps fuel pumps and water pumps are normally the exact same but carry different data plates. If a water pump is ever used to pump fuel the data plate gets changed and it can only be used for fuel thereafter. If you were simply using the pump to...

I'm not sure if a Torsen is available for a Deuce but my Trans Am has one from the factory and it works quite well. If you read around on F-Body forums they don't seem to stand up well to drag racing but most people agree they are great for road courses. I've had no issues in 156,000 miles of...

I'm game, just needed a better picture!

I'm partial to the Firestone T831's myself but to answer your question. Tell the tire shop you need tubes for an 11X20 tire. The Michelin's are tubeless tires like my Firestone's but they will not mind being installed rims designed for tubes. Make sure they take good care of the inner flap /...

I just replaced my injection pump but did alot of research prior to tackling the job. The fuel system is under pressure at every point past the lift pump on the passenger side of the engine block. It is possible that the lift pump can draw some air in but that should be taken care of by the...

I don't personally own but I have 2 M1089A1P2's, an M984A4 and 2 M1152A1 Contact Maintenance Trucks in my Recovery Squad. Can't wait to see your Privately Owned Wrecker. I'd be willing to bet the number of people who own them are pretty low at the moment.

I think there is still love for the M35's, you got 3 more votes than my M923. I say as long as you keep up the maintenance and keep them on the road you're a Winner each day while I'm brushing my teeth! I'm thankful that life has blessed me the opportunity to participate with all of you fine...

I love the M813's and if I had one my buddy with a Deuce would have one less punch. He thinks I went "Highbrow" for selling my Deuce and getting an M923. You have a solid foundation with that truck, upgrades can wait and will be done in due time.
