The forward bracket that is held to the block by a 13mm headed bolt and fastened to the starter by the upper long bolt is there. I've heard horror stories about that bracket being missing and starters tearing corners of blocks off. This is my NOS USMC M1028. It's only got about 6,400 miles on...

Title more or less say's it all. I searched but my primary computer crashed and I can't download anything on a chromebook. My starter is busted up due to the inboard motor bolt snapping. Now the starter is off the truck, we removed the bad bolt but the solenoid is broken away from the nose...

Those look good. I'm not sure about the outer seal in that kit as I've never used it. All the one's I've used have lines going through the outer seal almost like tick marks on a compass but the length of the rubber from the middle outward. I've still got a few of those and they are New Old...

Since the trans was rebuilt, it could be anything from a check ball being put in and incorrect position, a hole drilled in the separator plate in an incorrect location (not likely because back when I put a B&M shift kit in a car, they supplied a template that you laid directly on the plate) or...

Actually, from my experience, quite a few of them do. They are controlled by the CTIS controller or the Allison shift pad. In a regular FMTV, pressing the Mode button does more than turn on a little red light. It locks the transfer from front to rear. Selecting Cross Country locks the rear...

I'm still in and I can see the purpose for them on the older air over hydraulic trucks and the HMMWV's but we still have to use them on straight air trucks with spring brakes such as LMTV's, Hemmt's, LHS's, PLS's and such. As long as you pull the parking brake diamond out, it's not going...

A good 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4" socket set along with accompanying wrenches, screwdriver's, pliers, and a fitall wrench will get you far. You also need a bud nut socket for the lugs and thimbles and a 3" eight sided socket for removing axle nuts. I usually keep all of that plus some sort of bench...

The only "official markings" on the truck are USMC 534275. He'll always be that, it's stamped into the dataplate.

Glad that it's blessed by the CAMO 1SG to use the name.

And in case anyone was wondering, yes I did speak to Adam (Ferro) about naming my truck "Becka Tha Wrecka" and he said that would be fine. It sounded like such a cool name and I can't believe it's still on after 3 months. The Army frowns on stenciling names on homestation trucks and the regs...

Awesome time today. For the GA Rally crowd, can you identify the 4 people in front of the M923? I'll give them thanks once my "extended family" calls them out by name or screen name. And no, identifying me doesn't count because alot of ya'll know me. It was a great event. I've very happy...

It's not an exact science. My NOS USMC M1028 that spent most of it's life in Norway has a straight leg M. The correct one would have the cut's in each side of the "M" Things happen in the Fleet and we get them as we do. I'll get the "correct" stencil if I ever repaint the truck but it's...

from what I've seen with Navy trucks, they mostly stick to either green or tan for the entire truck and the USN number is painted in black. I'm too young to know how the CUCV's were painted but I'd bet that it was completly green with the USN number's in black. While the trucks are in storage...

Thanks for the ideas. It looks like I will have to go with a commercial trailer. I'm only wanting to haul 6,000 pounds worth of truck. I've got a friend that flat tows an M1009 with a towbar without issue behind his truck but I don't like the idea of doing that for anything over a few miles...

Did the military ever have a flatbed trailer hauled behind a Deuce with a lunette ring? I've been talked out of buying a M931 or M932 A ? more than once by my boss. I can get a 5 ton but I'm not allowed to have 3 trucks and I don't want to sell my Deuce. It's in pretty good shape but Clinto...

Turned in my entry, looking like I'm doing this one with the "Leesburg Det" of Camo. I know I've seen other Deuces and such nearby but I guess they don't play on this site. I've got one change though. There won't be a towed Deuce, a friend of mine bought one the other day and he would like to...

1. Oiling the airpack. On the back of the airpack is where you will find the plug to add oil. I couldn't get mine out and feared I'd strip it so I removed the J pipe. I oiled it with PB Blaster as it was stuck from none use. Brakes were much better afterwards. 2. The bleeder screws are the...

And yes, Tony can certainly tell the story, I wasn't even thought about when ya'll built the original "Proud" but I know her story. PB has told it to me and I'll share it until my last breath. That truck has a history!
