My deuce would start in the low teens without assist. My M923 needs a slight squirt from the ether solenoid. The poster that revived this was interested in making a M929 start easier. It takes a little happy juice to make the NHC 250 light off on cold days with no block heater. Only spray...

I'll take my chance on a M939 anyday. I can replace metal, bumpers and radiators any day. I can't rebuild my legs. I operate an LTAS Cab Wrecker for my job in the National Guard. It looks way thicker and better built. I'm the slowest truck in the convoy either way and I watch ahead. Safety...

I thought this was cannon fodder after striking out a few times. If you can't make out the sign, it reads 2015 May Win!!! You honestly never know how the vote is going to go. When I put General Non-Sense up in factory form on 11's, he was cannon fodder. We'll see how he does this month on...

Another reason to vote for Sarge. Only one other truck was actually running in the picture. Taylordc15 had his headlights on so I assume it was running. Do you know what none of the other trucks had? Soldiers riding in them. Sarge has a pile of them riding in him!! He loves lifting the...

M35A2-AZ, I agree with the above that is a 5 ton combat rim. It looks to be bolted to a M1076 PLS trailer. The wheels that normally come on those are of the HEMMT and PLS variety and don't have the same backspacing. The dead give away for me is the recessed face of the wheel on that...

General Non-Sense, an M923A0 has to try again now that he has new wheels and tires!!! All Thanks to my oldest little buddy for helping make him an A1!!!

An older gentlemen at work keeps telling me my truck has "wet bearings" in my 5 ton. I've explained to him a few times that they are only "wet" if the outer seal has failed and the inner doesn't do much to keep oil off the brakes. He explained to me that there is a way around the Army's design...

Gerhard, I'm curious as always. Why would the bumper move 4-3/4" up? My friends bumper seems to be at the same height as before the frame extensions. He still has the same tires as well. Is the difference between the 9.00 NDT's versus the 14.5's that came on an A3? I'm only asking because...

I've seen that plate located on the driver's door, the passenger door, the glove box door on M809 series trucks, and the passenger side of the dash on M939 series trucks. All USMC trucks as I work at MCLB Albany. Quick note though, I'd perform Phil2968's test. When trucks undergo rebuild...

I agree it needs to be reliable. I'm just brainstorming in my head and trying to find some answers. I have a friend whose stock deuce is plauged with brake issues and he is very safety conscious. We've changed everything but the hard lines and it still has trouble maintaining a pedal even...

The A2 frame extenders should be fine for your intention. I have a friend who installed a pair on his without winch A2 truck with no issues. He had the same idea but has not gone through with adding a winch yet. I'm quite confident that they'll be a bolt on to your A3 truck as the A3's were...

Makes me wonder now. The M105 trailers have a airpack that actuates the master cylinder which actuates the brakes. I understand that system somewhat well. Did your system work somewhat like that or did you use Deuce airpacks? If so, I'm curious as to how that works. In my mind, the airpack...

Ether start worked good for a moment this evening. It was about 40 degrees out and the truck started right up. I did the recommended procedure, battery switch on, engage starter, press ether button for 3 seconds, release and running like a champ. I even tested the solenoid twice while...

I had a fuel fired heater in a Deuce one time. On a 30 degree morning, I fired up the heater and went inside. I came back out 10 minutes later and the inside door skins were so hot I couldn't rest my arm on them. There's also cautions about using the defrost with one as they are known to...

Drew, I honestly think it's better the way you posted the poll this month. I'm sure some would like to see the screen names on the end result. Anonymous voting however will likely encourage people to vote for the truck that they really think should win! It's not helping my chances at all...

I'm fairly confident that a Goodyear, Michelin, or Firestone Radial 11R20 is a safer steer tire than any of the available NDT Bias Ply's. One reason the M939 series included radials as part of the ABS mod is the increased traction which equates to increased safety. I read the MWO and the Army...

I looked on the Boyce website. I don't think those are the good ones. The outer perimeter with the dimples is what I'm looking at. The ones I used came in packaging with the NSN labels still on them. The outer part of the seal looks like they have little straight lines going from the inner...

I've done this procedure quite a few times following the steps in the TM. Inner nut torqued to 50 foot pounds while Soldier B turns the drum. Back off a 1/2 turn, install retainer and tighten outer nut to 150 foot pounds. I use regular rtv gasket maker in the keyway as many others on here...

Rory, Oh, that conundrum!!! It's Easy, Vote for Sarge!!!

I searched and didn't find anything. I've had quite a few NHC 250 powered trucks in my yard but never owned one until now. I took it for a ride around the block today but it took about 30 seconds of cranking to start it. Throttle was responsive as normal once the engine was running so I'm...
