LDS engines have a no load hi idle of 2800 rpm. Sounds excessive in thought and makes alot of noise in practice but the engine is still mechanically sound afterwards. Not sure how high yours actually made it up to. I used to run my LDT rather hard when I had my Deuce. Mostly 2,600 rpm shifts...

I sent a disc with every current TM ever produced to a moderator. I'm sure there's a reason they didn't post them online. As for you Hopmeier, please send me a message with your address and I'll send you a disc. I see from your signature that you probably need all of them as you seem to have...

I've driven both models many times and own one, a M923A0 on 14's. I'm keeping mine and not looking. I just wanted to tell a funny story. I drove my 5 ton to weekend drill one weekend. Our Supply Sergeant heard that old "Cummins Rattle" from the 250 under throttle and came running out of the...

I will add that if you flat tow an M809 series truck with a prime mover of any type, air up the tanks and ensure you rock the shifter into a forward gear and back to neutral at least once. If you can't do that, take a few moments and remove the front hub caps. The sprag in the the transfer...

As stated, purchase a towbar and search around for local friends with similar sized trucks. I had my M923 towed by a friend with an M923A2 when my injection pump went out and I lost oil pressure. I'm sure the money I spent on the towbar and safety chains was money saved in comparison to what a...

On my old deuce while I had it, the buzzer going off meant I had let the truck warm up enough and it was ready to hit the road on a cold day. On a warm day when it went off, it meant look over at the neighbors house as we are well underway. It never bothered me. My funniest thoughts about the...

Mine works fine even after I replaced the original brass and copper one with an aftermarket aluminum one. I was disappointed with the appearance of the newer part as it was half the thickness of the old part. It installed just fine and will run you out of the truck from the heat once the...

You must have never made him mad. Try calling him a name or two. I'm being silly, send him a message.

I'd think there would be a somewhat limited market. I think people who plan on keeping these trucks on the road for many years to come have already bought up the parts they think they will need. I have a friend one city over that has 3 spare engines, 2 spare transmissions and who knows what...

Opinions tend to be formed one or two ways. Some people have been around stuff and have a good idea as to how it's going to work out without actually trying it. We'll call this group A for this discussion. Some people have ideas of how they think something should work and form opinions based...

I rode in dually M1028 that member Stonepicker had one year. Truck had a 6.2 in it and that thing was "woke up"! I'm sure he bumped up the pump and the truck responded well. He got sideways on a dirt road at about 30 mph. He also had a Banks sidewinder kit and installed it on the passenger...

I've had the exact same thing happen before. My issue probably was not as bad because I had two old group 31 batteries installed and they must not have had enough juice to burn up the seat. Alot of smoke filled the cab, I jumped out and disconnected the negative cable under the passenger seat...

Negative Simp, I'm going to run it hard after the line and filter swap. Probably about 1/100 of the duty cycle you run yours at but 2 hours of hard running on fresh fuel should make this old Cummins happy!

I'm going on a shopping trip in the morning. New fuel filter, rubber lines, and such for the 5 ton. Good thing I still have the CUCV around for slave cable power if it takes too long to prime and crank. I also need to pick up a belt and some new light bulbs for the Tahoe so both lights are on...

How is your power steering pump? Turn the steering wheel and see. Unlike a gasser powered truck, these have a hydraulic powered brake booster which gets it's assist from the power steering system instead of vacuum. I know when I was going through fueling issues which would cause mine to stall...

The heaviest load I pulled with my M923A1 was a stacked set of M322 trailers. They weigh around 12,500 each, no clue of tongue weight on the pintle but we rolled along just fine once up to speed. Most of the trip was run at around 60 mph but we did get knocked back to 50 or so in some hills in...

I'd recommend contacting SS member Simp5782. He hauls quite a bit of stuff and could likely meet your timeline. His phone number is in his signature line but just in case, 901-318-8353. He responds to text much quicker than calls.

I had my M1028 CUCV starter rebuilt by a local shop about 4 years ago after the mounting bolts backed out and it broke it's nose cone. He charged 80 dollars to replace the nose cone and brushes. I'm not sure what he had tied up in parts as I'm not in the business but I thought he did it for...

I can pick it up after work one day. I have no experience in shipping anything, I'm more of a get it and hold it until you arrange shipping guy. If I can help, I'd be happy to, I just need the release invoice e-mailed to joseph.carson@usmc.mil

I hope it works but I'm worried you'll be in the same boat soon. Mine was working fine until I sprayed some solvent in the unloader line. After taking the head off and cleaning everything, I feel certain I will be fine for years to come. I was amazed by how much carbon junk was inside the...
