No cutting and splicing done on the glowplug mod. I simply used a drill bit to slightly enlarge the hole on the factory ring terminal to adapt it to the 12 volt lug located right next to the relay. No wiring was cut to install the CD player as well. Add a fuse set up to the original fuse...

I'm curious as to how much a CD player install and glowplug resistor removal lowers the value then. I did have to modify the dash to install the radio but I used an install kit from Crutchfield so it looks factory. I realize that some of you gentlemen are purist but I'm curious as to...

98G, This is where I want you to take me to school. I agree that running a diesel engine hard is best. I would like to know why running one at a high idle with no load vs letting it sit is a better idea. My observation in regards to the cucv idling low while burning all of the old fuel out...

I thought I'd bounce some ideas off some smart guy's heads. In the past, I'd put the deuce to bed this time of year and I did the same thing with the 5 ton as well for the last 2 years. The deuce always started easy and of course the 250 in the 5 ton does not. I started the 5 ton up this...

Please clarify what "nothing" means. Is the starter engaging but the truck is failing to fire off or is the starter not engaging at all? 12.35 volts is roughly 70% of where it should be, ideally you'd be showing 12.8 open circuit voltage. Having said that, I charged mine recently and both...

It ran through the old fuel fine idling. Put about 12 gallons of fresh diesel in the tank to top it off and it did fine in the Christmas Parade with my better half driving! I drove it some as well on the old fuel and the Stanadyne Performance additive really seemed to help. I need to hook it...

You'd be out of a job and my wife would be mad that I traded a vehicle she could drive for one she'd refuse to drive! I'll trade my M923A1 in exchange and you get get back to square 1 and go through all of your modifications again!!! I'm sure that's not on the agenda.

I've had it and enthusiasts on here have known about it for 8 years now. No one has offered to buy it and I'm not actively trying to sell it. It's still sitting on the original tires. Cleaned it up yesterday for the Leesburg Christmas Parade.

Good PMCS, new wiper blades, topped off the charge on the hawker batteries, filled with diesel, quick wash, interior detail and it's Leesburg Christmas Parade ready. Didn't get to take it to Durhamtown this year so it's annual freshening up was delayed. It's hard to believe I've had this for...

Newer dryer advantages can probably be explained by a Haldex engineer. In my case, the advantage was a serviceable unit. I tried everything to get the filter assembly off of my old one including a strap wrench with an 18" 1/2" drive breaker bar motivating it. It never budged. I decided the...

Aloha, I'm interested in the answer Barrman asked in concern of how it starts once warm. I only thought of cold starts when I posted. I started mine on a balmy (kidding) 70 degree day this afternoon. Normal glow plug cycle and it started about as soon as I turned the switch. Probably less...

Might have an LMTV come down thanks to member IZZUG! I'm hoping I can find someone to take some pictures. I'm working on cleaning up Sarge, filled up his tank and his back battery is on the charger. Started fine before but doing maintenance for the what if rather than the what can I do. I...

Well, this thread never got deleted and it looks like there will be a Deuce and CUCV attending. My buddy, GoDawgsdv8 and my better half will be taking Sarge and Frankenstein. I will be out of town this Saturday but I could use a good M923 5 ton driver. Permits are turned in so I can't add to...

Aloha, I'm going to offer an opinion as it has worked well on my truck. Some may disagree but I'm not trying to start the great glow plug debate of the Christmas 2017 season. I did the DH resistor bypass and solely run my glow plugs on the 12 volt lug next to the solenoid. I only had to drill...

Wes, I'd be more than happy to help. My better half was wondering when the M1082 would go home. You'll be working by yourself if you come this weekend as I have to go out of town. 5 ton will still be there though and the trailer is currently at the correct pintle hitch level for it. I've...

I had something similar happen. It turned out to be some kind of gunk in the line from the air drier to the governor. There is a fitting midway just forward of the transfer case. What was happening in my case is once the governor signaled the drier to open, it would hold the purge valve open...

My Deuce used to creak and grumble when driven the same way. I'll bet it's spring pack or dog bone related. Possibly the bed mounts but I'd bet it's nothing worth selling the truck over. I never solved the issue on my deuce, the biggest "crack" sound would occur when turning right onto my...

Moderators, Please close / delete. Unfortunately it's just not coming together this year. We'll try for next year!

Now is just past peak time of buying an M939 series truck but still miles ahead of purchasing a comparably priced M35A2 if you actually plan to work your truck. They both trade in the 5 to 9k price range depending on condition but the Deuces prices are inflated by non-availability. The M939...

Have been letting the truck idle for a few nights to burn off some of the old diesel. Picked up a bottle of Stanadyne Fuel Injector Performance Cleaner, added it to the truck and voila! Not quite, I let it idle for about an hour. It shut off on it's own a few times but fired right back up...
