There was some solid competition last month as there is every month! I'm sure they'll jump back in. For those who didn't win last month, it took almost a year of running to get my very clean M1028 into the winners circle. Everyone who owns old green iron is a Winner in my book whether your...

Moose, what are your trucks brake issues? I know they are different from mine but I did have a deuce previously and am familiar with an air assisted hydraulic brake system. I've diagnosed and replaced wheel cylinders, air packs and a master cylinder in those days. Scary system since a single...

Took mine on a drive up town for Birthday Duty. Briggs insisted that we pull the M1102 trailer so we would have extra room to bring home all the presents! Not needed, they all fit in the Tahoe. Even though it was hot, he loves riding in old green iron! As for the truck, it's running like a...

Thanks Kindly Floridianson, I'll get some made after the show. I'm only replacing mine due to age. They are not leaking or showing any signs of illness but they are a rather critical part of the NHC 250 oiling system so I'll replace them during the after rally oil change.

I think I've gotten my buys sorted out, even have an M819 to help me lift my truck one end at a time so I can switch tires. Floridianson, please bring the 5 ton front boots. I'll take on the job locally with help from a friend after the rally. Gimp, my friends drank your beer last year and...

They did. I didn't have a 5 ton then or I would have kept them. You need to come so Welder1 doesn't have to give your beer away..... again.

I'm looking for some M939 rear axle inner seals, outer seals and lockwashers (X4) for my rear axles and (1) pinion seal for my rear most axle. I need to complete an annual axle service on my truck and do not have the parts on hand. I can order them but figured I could save on shipping if I...

Good Looking out Porky! (Almost thought I'd never say that after my spat with you). I saw that at the bottom but did not click on it since it didn't list any model numbers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdkF49OGN-Y Looks clear enough to me. We use waste JP-8 drained out of vehicles at work. We sometimes have to clean the fuel lines and metering device but these heaters are extremely simple to work on.

I looked in the Technical Manual section for trailers and didn't see one for the M1101/1102's. Not a problem, I'll fix that when I get to work in the morning. You can then look up the NSNS to try and track down the parts for it. Personally I wouldn't worry about brakes on it. It's a surge...

Most of your diesel / kerosene jet flame type heaters should run just fine so long as it's filtered and blended with diesel or kerosene. Not sure how much smoke it might put off but if you do try it I'd be curious to know.

New Cargo Cover makes my truck prettier! Doubt it's enough to push it over the top but I was just too busy to campaign correctly during last month's contest.

No worries about the PM from the gentleman. I'd actually like to get one of those jeeps one day but they are too expensive for my budget. What's funny to me is how a little Jeep costs way more money than a 5 ton.

Put a new cargo cover on my truck. Technically it's an MTVR cargo cover but both have 14 foot beds. This one cuts it really close on the sides, they are about an inch too short. After some work it looks like it was meant to be there. Old cover is going to a buddy of mine to cover some old...

Check valve on the injection pump hanging up momentarily. It's the black 6 sided fitting hooked to the return line. There is a glass ball inside that likes to stay clean. As for the 65 to 70 mph in a M1008, that's spinning the engine pretty fast. Soldiers have done it many times in order to...

I agree with Simp. I think you'd be dollars ahead to pick up a M931 or M932 tractor if you have a strong love for the NHC-250. Ideally you would find an M915 with a Cat 7155 trans to run the speeds you desire, have full air brakes and a Big Cam NTC-400. I personally have an M923 Cargo that...

Amer-team, that looks like a great effort. All I've done with mine so far this week is drive it to Lowes to get a new well pump pressure switch. I've been trying to put it the truck on the road more and more since I nearly killed it by letting it sit. I've only been running it hard for a few...

Drove mine 70 miles over the past 2 days. It broke down due to a fueling issue but after cleaning the check valve on the Injection Pump cover it seems to be back to normal again. I'm going to change my habits and drive the truck on a 30 mile trip a week whether I have a need to or not. Should...

Russm, I am a fan of the PulseTech products but what you have is a 10 watt maintainer. 10 watts in bright sun, it is not a charger and PulseTech's literature supports my statement. I recommend that you charge the batteries to the best of their capacity and use the Solargizer to keep them...

Pat, I hope you make it. I came last year on a foot that I broke less than a month prior. I'll never know if it was the right decision but I try my best not to miss the opportunity to meet up with the fine people on this forum at the Annual cookout.
