    I watched those and they went far too cheap for their condition. Congrats!

    Lincoln, Nebraska - Inspection/Batteries

    I have an M1089 in Lincoln, NE that I'd like someone to go look over for me and prep for shipping. Put some batteries in it and make sure it can start to load itself. Anyone around there?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I bought 2 deuces way back in the GL days for cheap while in college. Sold both to SS members to pay for food. Vowed never again to be without some Green Iron and I'm doing my best to keep my vow. I just have a good buffer now is all. rofl Thanks and good idea. I've still got a pair of NOs...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Blasted, primed, and painted these two M817's. Still plenty more work to do on them before I call them done.

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    I swapped out the fuel pump and bled each injector. Crank and fire! The fuel pressure gauge shows 20psi on the secondary filter. There's no lack of power when I drove it around my yard. The radiator was bone dry and the engine oil has water contamination so the next step is to do services and...

    Automated email vs internal process. They are way behind on EUC processing..

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    I hope he bought more as I reached out to MTP in Feb of this year and he didn't have any 3.07 or 2.87.

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    The governor rod was very stiff and I couldn't move it by hand. It doesn't move when the power is turned on or cranking. In the video the power starts in the off position but because I'm using an LVS buzzer the buzzer likes to stay on regardless of ignition switch position (a problem I'll deal...

    Need an LMTV checked out near Richmond VA

    I would not plan on driving anything away from this location. All trucks on this lot have been forked into trucks and off trucks to get them here. I've bought 7 from this batch and know the lot manager well so he gave me some good details on the DRMO side handling these trucks. Best bet is bid...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    Update: The primary fuel line lost some prime sitting 2 days so there's an issue there, the racor is full of fuel so the leak must be a pinhole or I didn't tighten the fitting snug as it should. Anyway, I loosened it and primed it again then tightened it down. I left my hand pump on the...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    I was able to get to the HEMTT today during nightfall and made some diagnostic progress. I did my research which coincided with what Wes said and a little more. I primed the secondary filter and system with a hand sprayer and pushed about 3 gallons through, 1 gallon wasn't enough my source said...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    No HEMTT section on the forum, no love for them yet? :p Anyway.. I'm in possession of an M977 that the previous owner had no desire to own or work on. I've been working on it all day and ended up in a crank no start situation that looks fuel related. I've got strong cranking but like I said no...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Painted another - tan to tan. Tomorrow will be the peeling, black accenting, and cargo cover. I've recovered so much 5.56 blank brass from this truck it's ridiculous.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    You are correct! You are so correct on all those points. :mrgreen: It looks like it but the forklift got the fuel tank and toolbox. I'll have to pull and replace those. :roll: It had heater, hard top (obviously), parking brake upgrade w/ dash light, and it looks like they wired in a 7...

    Late Model USAF M35A2C Registry

    Here's one more to add to the list. 88' Model. The data plate has been scratched to **** on purpose but the frame serial is nice and clean at least.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I never thought I'd post to this thread again but here we go. I got this M35A2C in yesterday from auction and she's in good shape. Started with new batteries and everything works. 88' Airforce Deuce. I need to replace the tail lights are they are MIA.
