Remember also that you have a limited slip differential. Basically normal behavior on a loose surface.

You can look into buying a laser tachometer from Monarch Instruments or another manufacturer. Put a piece of reflective tape on the crankshaft pulley and compare the laser tach readings to what soldier B reads on the dashboard tach. PM me if you want more info. By the way, I like to cruise my...

Nice! Did you have access to a copy machine or go to a place like Kinko's?

I saw this truck last Sunday. It was massive and beautiful. Nice work, Artisan!

What a cool truck! That winch looks like you could pull troop ships up onto the beach with it!

Just got the bad news about how much I owe the Feds. Going to have to sit this one out, still in shock...

My M923 does this. I think it's normal just like the bump when a CUCV up shifts. Remember that you are running a big tuck empty.

The turbo on an LDS engine from a 5-ton is different than either the C or D turbo used on the LDT engines from a 2 1/2 ton.

^That photo looks like Mad Max. More pics please!

^At last, a truly useful post.

Reverse high range is still a pretty low gear anyway, as I found out when I had to back up about 500 feet due to a locked gate.

If you have access to a Diesel compression tester, it might be a good idea to run a compression check, just to see if something let loose in one of the cylinders. You could have a hole in a piston from the broken glow plugs. A compression tester for gas engines won't work - you'll damage the...

Welcome from down south. I had to look up where Oakley is located. You're right near the MVPA meet at Tower Park in April. I really like plan #8!

I had a tire shop mount a 9:00-20 tire on a deuce wheel for me. I noticed the tech not using a safety cage (they had one), so I went into the waiting room and watched wrestling on their tiny TV. I was half expecting to hear a big boom, but the guy got away with it somehow.

It was cool to see the C-17 back up several humdred feet on the taxi way as well. They had the door open in the back with some airman watching. I guess C-17's don't come with rearview mirrors. I might make it out with the new rig.

Does your area of operation extend as far West as Southern California?

Very impressive mud rooster-tails!

New truck is Grumpy. Kind of like the owner at times.

Just an FYI: When I had my deuce, it was hard to see stoplights at intersections without leaning forward and looking up, and I'm only 5'10". This will only get worse if you chop down the windshield.

Welcome from the West Coast.
