    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Participated in a Veterans Day Parade in my hometown. Accessory Drive on the Nifty 250 inexcplicably quit leaking for now. I've got 3 quarts of engine oil all over the driver's side frame rail, front axle and steering gear from the last 700 miles of driving to the my last two events...

    Going to recover another truck

    Mr. Ken, I see you pulled the trigger on the truck you were telling me about at the Ga Rally? My first M1089 in the National Guard had that style underlift, this truck appears to be missing the adapters but it could be that I need new glasses. Good Luck on the ride home. As a former Recovery...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Installed a new injection pump calibrated for a 6.5 N/A HMMWV on my truck this week. I swapped the top cover to retain the 12 volt shut off and cold advance solenoid with no issues. I have to make an adapter for the vacuum modulator but I rigged it temporarily to stay at 1/2 throttle setting...

    M1028 Fuel Issues

    Sarge made the Veterans Day Parade today with zero issues. I was driving my 5 ton and everytime we took off from a stop sign my wife would put about a 1/4 mile between us before I could get up to her speed. It's running very well with a 6.5 pump.

    M1028 Fuel Issues

    I used an old picture showing my little buddy getting icecream. Here is today's picture. The truck did fine and will be in the 1st Annual Leesburg Veterans Day Parade along with General Non-Sense (M923) and Welder1's Deuce. I'm glad I got it's issues figured out and back together in time.

    M1028 Fuel Issues

    Took if for another drive today. I zip-tied the rotating assembly on the vacuum modulator valve at about 1/2 of it's rotational travel. It's shifting at about 2,300-2,500 rpm judging by ear. This feels like a whole new truck. It accelerates much stronger than before and oddly enough sounds...

    M1028 Fuel Issues

    Sarge is running again. If you use a newer 6.5 injection pump you will have to find a solution to adapt the throttle shaft to the vacuum modulator for the transmission. My idea so far is to drill a hole for the roll pin to fit in, grind the flat tipped end of the shaft that would fit into a...

    M1028 Fuel Issues

    Sir, I have not tried clear fuel line to check for bubbles. The black particles were only observed when I removed the housing pressure regulator valve, they were holding the check ball closed. It was only 3 little specks but it doesn't take much to plug the valve. Cleaning the valve caused...

    M1028 Fuel Issues

    A little more progress this evening working between rain showers. Tightened all of the injector lines at the injection pump thanks to my new 5/8" crowsfoot wrench. Got the 33 year old gasket scraped off of all mating surfaces and set the intake in place. Tomorrow's task involves installing CDR...

    M1028 Fuel Issues

    Some progress today. I've got the new injection pump installed and the fuel lines hooked up. I'll install the CUCV top cover and intake tomorrow and finish up the loose ends on Thursday. I did some reading, the cold advance solenoid is in the top cover in case someone searches about this issue...

    Adding x-doors to M1043A2

    I'm thinking the OP is trying to sort out an issue I'm having as well. Someone purchased a few M1045's without doors and wants to ship them from Georgia to Washington State. In my case he wants to ship me some X doors and have me install them. I'm not quite sure what hinges are on the M1045's...

    M1028 Fuel Issues

    I've pulled the old injection pump. Stanadyne DB2829-4267 which cross references to a 1984 model that was superseded by DB2829-4520 in 1986. I looked over the pump for the triangle shaped tag with an "E" on it indicating an updated Elastomer Insert Drive and no such luck. Now for the good...

    Can the Gov't confiscate a vehicle after the sale? Putting that fear mongering to bed

    If you have an old Military truck that was surplussed, you are probably in the clear. Jeeps, Deuces, M809's, M939's, and some HMMWV's are no longer in service. HEMMT and LMTV owners might need to be nervous but I honestly doubt it. They are downsizing so unless you own a unique vehicle such...

    Official 2018 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 17-21, 2018

    I've got my cabin reserved for next year, 3rd week of October. Is it time yet? I had a great time this go around! I'm now an 8 time Veteran of the Ga. Rally. Even a broke foot couldn't break my streak last year. I'll put less oil on the ground next go around but an accessory drive leak is...

    M1028 Fuel Issues

    I confirmed injection pump failure. It runs fine with the check valve eliminated. I installed a known good check valve (housing pressure regulator) and it was clogged after 20 miles of driving and the truck started getting low on power. KeithJ posted a detailed explaination in another thread...

    MV of the Month Nominations, November 2018

    I didn't quite make the podium in October but I'm building steam. Maybe a picture change will help! We don't get snow too often in Georgia, maybe it will confuse the Northern Members and they'll think they are voting for the Home Team:beer:

    Hood numbers

    No problem Sir. I work at MCLB Albany but have been to MCLB Barstow quite a few times. We put stickers with the information on the passenger side windshield, they paint it straight onto the passenger side of the hood.

    Troubleshooting M1009 6.2l Idle

    I'm going through similar symptoms on my truck albeit I don't have a turbo or pyro. So far I have replaced my cartridge type fuel filter with a spin on due to a loss of prime issue. My leak was due to the fuel pressure sensor, some people simply eliminate that by tapping the hole and threading...
