I've worked with and on both and own an M923A1. I certainly have some thoughts but would like to hear from a crowd. I have contemplated in getting into 90's technology and getting a newer truck but I have my doubts about the yellow engine. The FMTV trucks win hands down in the power...
PB,
Great advice as always. I consider your knowledge into commercial / non-commercial discussions to be very spot on. I know you have researched my concerns so I will continue to use the locally available roads as needed. The one that concerned me the most is the one that I mostly go down...
Orren,
There is nothing keeping gear oil from getting to the axle and cap assembly on the rear axle of the deuce. There is an outer seal to keep the oil from getting into the bearings and washing out the grease. If you're not seeing oil on the inside sidewall of your rear wheels, you don't...
Well I believe I have made a few neighbors mad. A few rural roads around me are now posted "No Thru Trucks". I know that during the Christmas Holiday, the County Commissioner is likely out of office but it would appear that I have to engage him in the near future. I'm just curious as to how...
Everything can be done by hand. The tires are very heavy and to pull the drums includes removing the hubs as well as they are an integral part. They are heavy as well but not impossible to handle. I think the popcorn icons were because most people who ask simple questions are somewhat over...
Awesome, Campaign time! I'd like for my truck to win because it brought my brother and I so much closer when I got it. Fast forward a few years and I almost lost him to leukemia earlier this year. He's still with us by the Grace of God but it's been a rough few months. We look forward to...
I'm not as familiar with the earlier LMTV's but that is the warning light for engine temperature high on the later ones. Your gauge indicates less than 220 so you should be good to drive on. To the best of my recollection, you have a sensor for the gauge and a sensor for the warning monitor.
I just researched this briefly so it may not apply to your truck. If I read correctly, you should be getting a second code after the 13. Either way, it appears to be concerned with input voltage to the trans controller being too high or too low depending on the follow on code. Go to this link...
Your current support loops look exactly like what CSM Davis posted and what I looked at on my truck earlier. The A2's certainly have a different looking bracket and it may be stronger. I have never seen a sheared wedge brake apply tube until now so I'm confused. The fronts have no bracket as...
My old nifty 250 starts just fine without ether on these frigid southwest Georgia days. About 2 seconds of cranking in the mid 40's this time of year. The ether start is enabled and the coldest day last year was around 17 degrees. It took about 4 seconds to start as you cannot push the ether...
A few pictures of the convoy in the Parade posted on the Leesburg Chamber of Commerce. Somehow they are in reverse order, the convoy was lined up from smallest to largest!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01yG4EM8TeM Start around the 12:30 mark and you'll see what CAMO Leesburg Detachment rolled through the Christmas Parade with! Once again, many Thanks to all who participated and as always we hope to have more trucks!!! Many visitors who have came are always...
I got hit on this when I registered my 5 ton in Georgia. Weighted plates due weighing over 10,000 pounds even though it's for non-commercial use. Like stated before, it varies from state to state or county tag office from one to another. I know of others in Georgia who still have regular...
Good turnout today! Pictured are 6 of the 7 trucks that participated. My better half was busy with our boy's so I could hang out with my friends. I have an old dumb flip phone so we don't have many pictures to add. I want to say Thanks to members Welder1, Godawgsdv8, Atomic, Izzug, and...
My Deuce and a Half! Not much of a picture at first glance but quite a few on here know the story of the people in the picture! I'm happy to announce that the man in the left side of the picture is still with us, I'll campaign later!
Once the newer trucks get released with the C7 Cat, another failure point will be noted. There is lack of loctite or proper torque on the air compressor driving gear nut. It doesn't harm the cover but the truck will not build air or have power steering when it happens. Either way, it involves...
Chase, I see the problem! As the only member who has had a CUCV win the MV of the Month competition, I will add these pictures! I think I won because I have a very nice truck and he finally got voted on pretty steadily. If you read through the thread, 2015 May Win, you will see that pictures...
Those looking for the temp switch need to follow the line coming from the bottom of the either solenoid, you'll find it threaded into a water jacket. The solenoid will activate at any temperature but the valve will keep it from injecting into the intake manifold above certain temps.
Just a slight update, list was turned into the office yesterday. Pictures will follow on December 3rd after the Parade and a good lunch! The M1028 may get pulled from the list as it looks like we may have a slight crowd that will want to eat and lunch needs to be ready at the house. I've...
