    Veteran's day parade pics

    There's been a lot of talk about having a big MV show in Reno. A place like Reno could draw in a big crowd, just imagine Hot August Nights but instead big green trucks<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool"><img...

    turbo muffler options?

    If I could find some NOS or really good used upper stacks I have a baffle system that works very well at reducing the noise, does not impede exhaust flow, and retains the original look. I prefer to sell them already in the stack since it requires a large press to install them. haven't been able...

    general military vehicle forum?

    Good point, lots of common items, such as headlight switches, turn signal switches, blackout lamps, composite lights, etc. Although, those could be addressed in the electrical section?

    injector pump

    Like Big Mike says, there are very tight tolerances in an injector pump. One single piece of dust or lint can create big problems. The injection shop I deal with has a "clean room" similar to say a place where they manufacture silicon chips or something. I've never torn into a deuce injection...

    1009 wireing problem

    Sounds to me like one of the relays under the dash is missing or has quit working. One of the 1009s I had showed the exact same symptoms. There is a bracket located behind the dash right above the STE/ICE connector that holds several Bosch style plug in relays that you can get at any auto parts...

    idle speed setting?

    Idle vibrations are a big killer on these expensive 24v headlamps. If it's vibrating that bad go ahead and kick the idle on up.

    69 Deuce brake problem Building pressure

    Sounds like time to rebuild the air pack. They go out two ways...either your brakes stick like yours did...or no brakes at all!! The air packs are simple to rebuild, having the manual handy is not a bad idea though. Pictures are worth a thousand words sometimes! On the air pack, facing the rear...

    clutchless shifting?

    I don't use the clutch in mine, but since it is a synchronized transmission, you are supposed to. Eventually you will tearup the synchros. I've already replaced the tranny in mine once because of it.

    M45 camper

    Rattlehead, good looking truck. That expansible box will sure give you plenty more room over an M109. Can't wait to get my M109 done though, that will be a fun camper.

    Have fun and a safe trip. Man, I can't wait to get the M52A2 finished, all it needs now is the brakes bled and finish painting it.
