Did you try disconnecting / reconnecting the pink wire and listen for a clicking noise from the Injection Pump Solenoid? If you have fuel at the filter ensuring the fuel shutoff is functioning would be my next stop. You can remove the top of the injection pump and free it up by hand if stuck...

Batteries tend to get hot with extended cranking time. A loose connection can make them hotter. Please check for 24 volts at the pink wire on the top of the injection pump. Remove that wire while the key is in the on position and listen for a click when disconnecting / reconnecting. If you...

Finally got power to my house today. Ga Rally plans will commence as if nothing happened now! Leaving Thursday morning with Welder1, meeting PCTrans in Cordele at 101 off I-75 and lead the convoy in. If that fits into any else's travel plans send me a message.

Send your invoice to joseph.carson@usmc.mil . I can talk to Scott (GovPlanet Representative onsite) and pick it up after the Ga Rally. He's very flexible on dates as long as he's established contact. Does it run or would I be towing it? Either way, it would wind up in Leesburg, Ga and then...

They have power at the Marine Base so we went there to take a shower. Before I left I chained and locked the generator to the porch just in case. It's still here but may have some scratches to the paint now on the bottom corner of the tube frame. Thanks kindly Sir!

I'll be bringing one of Papabear's generators if they get power back to my house beforehand. It's been powering my deep freezer, refrigerator, dehumidifier and microwave for a day now. Even comes with less than a week old non-ethanol gasoline! You know my better half needs her coffee Sir!

I tow these in the National Guard sometimes. If I'm taking a broke truck from the field to post (under 15 miles) I don't pull the driveshaft and keep my speeds low. I check the truck afterwards and have not noticed a hot transmission or transfer case. If we're going long distance I pull the...

Mr. Tim, I'll take the step ladder for my buddy with a Deuce as long as it had hooks on the top to keep it on the lip of the tailgate while it's down.

You can have the one out of the passenger side of my M923 cab. It'll still be bolted in place but you're welcome to take it out.

And I thought this was bad. Simp texted me this morning and said he ran his small cam with a similar leak for over a year, add oil and no worries.

After today's "shakedown" run, I'm looking for an accessory drive seal / wear sleeve for a 250 Cummins. I'm also interested in a water pump for an M939 A0/A1 truck. My water pump is fine but it has been strongly suggested that I replace it while I have the front of the truck apart. Sounds...

More rustproofing today. Looks like I may have lost about a quart during my 150 mile trip. It mostly slings it onto the driver's inner fender liner and steering gear. Some oil makes it onto the front cylinder head and even on the outside of the intake for the heater box. Thanks for the...

You're probably correct, maybe it's just an A1 feature. All I've messed with is the ones in my National Guard unit have them. I get operators with that switch all the time. Sadly, my mechanics often overlook them as well when troubleshooting. Nothing funnier than seeing them hook a set of...

There are 3 switches on the passenger side frame rail just behind the front tire. One is a Battery Disconnect. Flip that up when you walk away and you should be fine. No one really uses those switches unless the cab is up and you're performing maintenance. Most people don't even know they...

BigOldSarge, please bring a case of fuel filters for the M809 / M939 trucks and I'll take them off your hands for the right price.

Moved on to cleaning and degreasing the engine. Not a bad job in my trucks case. It does have an oil leak and I'm quite sure it's coming from the accessory drive on the front of the engine and the drops get blown back everywhere. Looking at the 4 stack of pulley's it looks like the fan...

russojap, As mentioned earlier, find friends with capable vehicles close by and invest in a towbar. Sometimes insurance towing policies are stand up, sometimes not. When my 5 ton broke down due to a failed injection pump, I called a friend with a 5 ton and we connected the two trucks...

How's the weather up there Ron? Have you resurrected your lean-to yet?

You're 395's look good, I'm about to go that route on my truck soon. I love the 14's but the supply for us cheap seats guys is drying up.

Still washing mine to get ready for a parade in Nashville, Ga and later a trip to Durhamtown Off Road Park. I've never taken the truck mudding and live on a sandy dirt road. This thing has red clay stains all over the undercarriage from it's time spent at Ft. Benning. It's taking some time...
