http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihHYQD9JhfI I'm too tired to explain, please watch and learn a little.

I hate the thread you linked to got closed down. I would have offered the guy from Philly a one way trip to talk nasty in October at Durhamtown. There's alot of places to trip out there. To keep it thread related, I saw an M929 on a stepdeck roll into the base the other day and it was on...

My Hercules is a new in 92' motor, not rebuilt and it idles around 25 when hot and runs about 55 psi running above 2,100. It'll hit 70 psi at idle when cold and about 100 psi under throttle when cold. For reference but a completely different motor, the C12 in a Brand New MTVR only has about 15...

M813rc, Do you realize that "Conversion by MCLB Albany" on the dataplate means that truck was likely an M54 in it's earlier life? The Marines converted about 1,500 of them to M813's by installing the Cummins and doing a frame off rebuild of most everything else during the early 80's just...

I've got the same issue, albeit to a less extent. Mine weeps enough oil to stain the passenger side of the block and attract dust. I'm just going to run it as is as my truck will probably be 5.9 Cummins powered one day. The motor in it now takes 5 gallons of oil, it can drip a little and be...

On the more current stuff, the USMC number is not the serial number but the "Registration Number". It's stamped on the data plate. I'll go take a look at some M109's and some M939 series trucks in the morning to see if that applies to them as well as far as having the number stamped on the...

I can't cite the page in the TM but I'm sure I could find it pretty quickly. Anyhow, park truck and disable batteries first. Remove two bolts on the front of the compressor pulley. Rotate outer half of compressor pulley counterclockwise, remove out half, remove belt. Install new belt, tie a...

One thing I recommend checking is the boot on the front of the master cylinder. The day before the 12' GA Rally, I decided to do a good check of my truck. I was a little low on fluid but did not have any wet drum backing plates. I checked the boot on the master and while it was dry, when I...

Need to bump this to the top as well as 3DAngus did some great recon of the location. If a mod could clean this up and merge the two together, that'd be great.

Need to bump to the top, Hope to see ya'll there in a few months.

Sir, times are changing, the stuff coming in from manufacturer's and the outflow from the depot's have TP (whatever it is) stenciled. Since this thread was started over "period correct" USMC markings, I'll weigh more toward the OP putting the 45 PSI or whichever on his truck!!!

M813rc, I even looked through the pictures and you're correct. The M in USMC is a strange cut. My truck was not repainted by me but by the Norway Crew as the tailgate in the photo is my Cave CUCV and I guess they didn't have access to the same type of stencil machine but the numbers match the...

I work at the Marine Depot and USMC markings are done like this!!! Sure, it's a CUCV, an MK 18 Trailer and an MK 48 but it's an example. For the Deuces, they didn't put them on the bumper, they put them on the left and right vertical parts of the hood about 5/8's of the way back and sometimes...

I should have been more specific concerning the scales I crossed. They were not DOT scales, they were the scales on the base that I work on and I was just curious about the weight. I can also tell you that my M1028 weighs 5580 pounds, my 93 Eclipse weighs 2,700 pounds, my 01' Trans Am weighs...

I'll chime in on the capacity of the towing truck argument. I picked up 5 Mep 003A's which weigh around 1,200 each, pulled a trailer that weighed about 1,500 with no trailer brakes. I took my combo on the scales with my 97' model 1500 Chevrolet powered by a 5.7L Gasser (Vortech) and we were...

My trans only seems to have a synchro on second and third. First will grind, 4th and 5th will grind. I don't even use the clutch anymore on those as they like to be dropped in at a "sweet spot" that I know of. I do know that a normal deuce is able to use the clutch when changing gears so long...

Just make sure you spin the input to the transfer around 2,500 rpm or so to replicate the speed it spins going about 45 mph down the road. You can do that with the trans shifted into 5th and tach sitting on about 2,100 rpm. That's when mine starts whining. You'll probably be disappointed...

I thought only the M1031's had the 205 case for the PTO function. I could be wrong. I've heard the 205 is the desired case due to it not having a chain to break. Not that a stock 6.2 could break a chain but stronger drivetrain components are better.

Joe, the RV lots are $29 a night versus $25 a night for primitive camping. I'll pay the extra 4 a day to have power. Bring it with you though, we'll collectively scratch our heads and see if we can get it going.

And to top it off, I just checked his profile and he last checked this site last night. He posted that he knows the power of the internet and bends over backwards to maintain his reputation but hasn't posted a dang thing since late October of last year shorty before he screwed me over. I'm...
