Cleaned the carbon from the unloader on my air compressor. Truck builds air once again!

Good Maintenance day following a GaMVR and Parade!!! Sealed up some air leaks and completed a complete greasing as dictated by the Lube Order. Even got to try out the new coveralls.

Had a Wonderful time today. Great Parade along with an awesome lunch afterward with some Family and Friends.

PB, Type in 1 Trojan Way, Leesburg, GA, 31763. You'll have to park in the high school bus parking lot. I got approval last year and will do the same this year. I you want to stay closer to my house, you can plug in 915 Middle Road South which is the place that we discussed earlier. I got...

Coming this Saturday!!! So far, 3 Deuces, an M923 and an M54A1 Gun Truck are scheduled to be in attendance. Line up is at 0900 in front of the High School in Leesburg. Roll out from my front yard is 0830. Lunch afterward at Longhorn Steakhouse with room to park MV's and Tractor Trailers...

I'm 90 miles south of there. I know a few members closer who have done previews for me from time to time. I'm sure they'll chime in.

I had the same thing happen when I went to register my 5 ton two weeks ago. The deuce never raised a flag and I paid the normal tax and tag fees this year. Nothing certain in life but death and taxes!!!:popcorn:

I'll nominate my M923 "General Non-sense"! He's a proud Veteran of the 4th Ranger Training Battalion on Fort Benning.

On some of these trucks, there is something similar to a PCB for 5 tons. It's a simple solenoid and is normally the first to blow in the event that something arced. It's located at the rear of the battery box just outside under it's own cover. I've only had to replace one. When it goes, the...

We can do it together. I'm certain my CUCV is a low mileage unit and 3/4 or it's miles came under my ownership. It's still sitting on factory Firestone rubber. If we need to purchase gauges, we can both buy in and form a consensus measurement which may be helpful.

The M939's have an automatic trans and reverse is in excess of a 10 to 1 ratio with 685 ft lbs or torque. I think I can see why the transfer case may have issues when engaged in low range on a truck that is trying to move against locked brakes or a heavy load. The A2's made around 750 ft lbs...

I'll play the game. Just passed 7k miles in my NOS USMC M1028.

I'll do it for a converter dolly!!!

When the ABS light stays on, that indicates a fault with the ABS system. The brakes should still work fine but will not have protection from locking up. I've driven a few with that light on and never had any trouble. The Military installed ABS on these trucks to solve a peculiar problem...

Just joined the club myself. Picked up an M923 this week.

These worked good when I had my Deuce!!! Firestone T831's. My friend has the Goodyear G177's on his Deuce. They are nice tires as well and will probably outlast the truck. They seem to be a better highway tread but the Firestone's are great when the road turns to dirt and much.

I tow these trucks quite regularly. I use an M1089A1P2 so I utilize the lift tow option exclusively. They will track just fine using a towbar but it's too much trouble going through the serpentine created by the barriers to get on post. If I'm only going the 10 or so miles from the training...

You're likely correct. I've got an GEM Cart assigned to me and only drive the Jeep when the weather is good as it has no top or doors. Nobody has asked about the Jeep in forever and I park it in a dehumidified warehouse. I would ask the higher ups if it's on the property book and it's...

You have a pretty good memory because that's where I work.

Here's my Work Jeep. I'd love to be able to drive it home one day!!!
