DH, I was just thinking the same thing. Overhead adjustment could have been set loose on the "dead" cylinder allowing the nozzle to foul and plug. My first step would involve using an infrared temperature gun and locating the cold cylinder by comparing exhaust outlet temperatures on the...

I'm off to a slow start but here we go. I purchased my 5 ton after selling my Deuce. GA Military Truck get together or whatever it is called nowadays was too far away to enjoy in a Deuce at roughly 190 miles each was from home. I also had pressure from people buying heavier trailers from the...

I'd like to nominate my M923 which in the photo is bringing up the rear. I'll brag about the experience once the voting starts in line with the intent of the rules.

Is the 1/32" measured near the top of the tire? I've watched that much variance at the top of the tread on tire's I've balanced back in the day while working at Sears Auto. Dana 60's on these trucks are normally open differentials. A quick way to look is see if you have a GD or an HD in the...

I sold mine for $5,500 about 2 years ago. It wasn't a museum quality truck by far. It had rust issues in the cowl and typical lower front corners though I thought they were minor. Clinto convinced me otherwise. My old Deuce ran strong and never let me down mechanically but an M923A0 showed...

No matter who wins, proof that my truck is "Kid Friendly" and "Plays well with others"!!! These truly are "Herd Animals"!!!

Alright, time to campaign. A Vote for my truck is a Vote for Freedom! We'll go from present to past. First picture, how he looked in the Leesburg "Spirit of Christmas" Parade, Second picture, the line up. Third picture, a bowtie on a previous Winner of MV of the Month, Sarge, that...

Ben Roberts, You've got to get some new shoes for your truck. Also, you have to be careful where you park!

Nothing to see here, move along.

It would be a neat replacement for a 250 powered truck but most of us interested in replacing the 250 would be aiming more towards the Big Cam 400. Alot more commonality and we can keep that big C on the side of the intake manifold! Since the Big Cam 400 was used in tons of vehicles, it is...

Going one more round! First man through the fence gets bloody most of the time but I'm thinking March will be a great contest!!!

Mr. Greg, Total concurrence. I'm only 34 but due to my father's love of MGB's (small British sports car), I learned to set points at an early age. I'm sure to a seasoned tradesmen, there is nothing to the injection pump on a Deuce. I was merely pointing out in my post that many shops won't...

Eli, Just curious as to why you are considering doing head gaskets on your new truck. That truck does have some oil seepage near the front of the block but it is a very common issue. So common that the Army quit doing head gaskets on them unless they really started making a mess of a leak or...

I know a local shop in Albany, Ga will rebuild it. There are alot of shops around that won't touch these older diesel injection systems and honestly, I got a second pump built for my 5 ton just to be safe to enjoy it for years to come. Search R&S Diesel, Albany Ga. My friend Welder1 had his...

You disengaged the clutch on the winch when you moved that lever. It allows you to "free spool" or pull your cable to whatever it is your trying to hook to. Once connected, put the lever back into it's "engaged" position and winch away.

I'll show you some spots that will stick that truck at Durhamtown if it's wet during GA Rally time this year. Not just any Deuce, the Deuce you bought. I am friends with it's former owner so I've got some history with "Arabella" unless you change the name. We seem to get along pretty good as...

The M818 has a air selected sprag type transfer case. There is no dash switch like on big block 88's M925. Moving forward, the transfer case on the M818 has a forward and reverse selection controlled by an air valve on the transmission. When stopped, you should hear a psst of air when...

My experience with the NHC-250 is somewhat different. I think he is a little low on the power spectrum compared to my truck. I have an M923A0 that I put 14R20's on. I can get to 60 in about 30 seconds and have pulled hills at 55 mph with 26,000 pounds in tow. I had modified the pump by...

I have seen PLS's with CTIS but never a HEMMT. My new M984A4 HEMMT Wrecker has no CTIS but somehow has two air hoses and inflation valves as part of it's Basic Issue Items.

You're truck was converted to 12V by the previous owner, that's why it had a regular 12V starter. On my truck, the only thing left is 24V is the starter and the second alternator. White smoke out of the exhaust indicates fuel is making it to the cylinders but not getting hot enough to combust...
