    Thanks to Welder1 and Dumpster!

    I had a breakdown Sunday and had to have my M923A1 towed. Thankfully I had a towbar in the bed and a friend close by with an M923A2. My truck made it home safely. I pulled the Injection pump and sure enough I found my problem. 15 gallons of oil drained out, IP removed and turned into an...

    M923A1 multiple issues all at once

    I would, I considered just letting the shop fix what was broken but when looking around after talking to the injection pump guru. The actual technicians are getting quite old. They hire on family to write on the sales ticket and they hire young help to pull the pumps. A commercial shop turned...

    M923A1 multiple issues all at once

    I'm thinking of adding a butterfly valve to the air intake horn and making that my emergency stop. I have an engineer friend with a shop but that will be a winter project.

    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    I am looking for an A/C compressor bracket for an NHC 250 and a tensioner depending on price. I am looking for other stuff as well depending on budget available. My injection pump decided to fail on my M923 so that ate some of my "spending money" rather quickly this year but I still remain...

    M923A1 multiple issues all at once

    I've got a Rally to go to. My friend with the A2 offered to let me use his truck but I feel I set the 250 crowd back enough already being towed by an A2. My pride unfortunately is not worth the cost of a commercial wrecker tow when you have friends close by.

    M923A1 multiple issues all at once

    Pulled the injection pump at the advice of a friend and quickly found my problem. The seal for the driving flange had ruptured. That is why I had fuel in the oil and also why it lost prime while being towed home. I spoke with the technician at R & S Diesel Injection about possible "why's"...

    M923A1 multiple issues all at once

    Drained the oil today. Plenty of diesel fuel in the oil, drained about 14 gallons out all together. I removed the filter, cut it apart and looked for any type of debris. Nothing noted. The drain plug magnet had some remnant of a very small coil spring, about the thickness of #2 pencil lead...

    M923A1 multiple issues all at once

    Driving home today in my M923, had a breakdown. I pulled over because I had a burst of smoke in the cab, truck seemed to be running fine. Stopped quickly, shut down and noticed quite a bit of oil on the drivers side front and passenger side rear of the engine block along with quite a bit on...

    M923a2 air blow off abs

    Not sure of better quality but it builds air in about 3 minutes vs the 6 or 7 before.

    M923a2 air blow off abs

    You can buy a new one from member Suprman for what a rebuild kit costs. His are the newer PurEST model that requires 3 new holes to be drilled on the stock bracket. The rest is plug and play. I'm happy with mine.

    PapaBear's New M151A2

    My favorite type of Jeep. Talk to DH, I would honestly trade my NOS CUCV for such a fine example and he wants my CUCV. Maybe a triangular deal can be made.

    M35a2 trailer brakes

    Yes. It also charges the air tanks on the trailer. The "Service" line that Porkysplace is concerned with only sends a signal to the trailer that the truck is engaging it's brakes, the trailer should do the same and in proportion to how much the truck is engaged. The trailers are equipped with...

    Official 2016 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 19-23, 2016

    CAMO, Leesburg Detachment will be staying just across from the lodge at Kaye's Keep. Plenty of food and fellowship but roughly 1/4 mile from the main field. We won't have phone chargers available unless you have one to plug into the wall. In case anyone asks, yes, I did make a detachment from...

    Depends on price or trade value. I am somewhat interested.

    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Medicine Cabinet made from a wooden ammo crate for my wife. I now know that what she is looking at on Pintrest is a wooden crate that was stenciled "Rocket Ammunition" on the top line and "Inert Projectile" on the second line. I would still like to find one and if it comes with shelves inside...

    Odd Air pack question

    I've thought of doing this on a Deuce before but in a completely different fashion. My thoughts were to run a pair of M105 brake actuators over the rear tandems to give a simple "split" system solution, capping the line going to the rear and leaving the front end stock. The problem that arises...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    I drove it just about 30 minutes ago. It runs fine going 55 or 60 mph going down the road but I don't like to run it that way for long as it sounds stressed. I put 35 dollars of diesel in the tank and it drove just fine going home. I am now in a slight agreement on the new home of this truck...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    All CUCV lovers, this truck is going downhill. It needs a new dash pad now and the door panels are fading at the top. I have had a good run with this truck and it is all still bone stock original save for a heater core from Napa and a rebuilt starter after it broke the nose cone off from a...

    Sound systems in your 5 tons? Subwoofers?

    I put a "Monster Rockin Roller 2" in mine and Bluetooth it to my phone. It doesn't stay in the truck when parked at home but it does a pretty good job. Mine is a louder A1 with the 14 liter 250 Cummins and I can hear it just fine over that. Certainly not pounding bass like a pair of 12's in a...
