MO MV man, I think my friend is the same one you sold that Deuce to. Riddle? He's sold that truck for profit and bought the "new" M923. We ended up having to do hydraulic head o-ring replacement on that Deuce and he had to replace the harmonic balancer and front cover seal and gasket. It was...

Looks like a recent rebuild. Nice looking truck. My buddy has one like that, open the driver's door and look in the bottom right of the opening. You will probably find an RRAD tag indicating the month/year of rebuild. His truck also had the G177's and they were fairly new as are your's. I...

NDT, I sent them an e-mail in 1970 concerning that exact same issue. Nevermind I was born in 82. Anyhow, they felt they could omit the turbo and just "up" the fuel. We've seen many examples of that and most know how it turns out. That turbo doohickey pushes more air into the intake and...

Well somebody had to take the fun out of it. I just played along when I saw it. I think Cornrichard, Sumner and myself understand Cummins motors enough to know the OP is referring to adding a turbo to a small cam 250, he quoted it as an 8.3 which is about 6 liters of displacement shy and the...

Feed port, just install a tee between the motor and the oil pressure sending unit. For return, I sorta like cornrichard's idea. You'd have to check your oil a little more often but those Big Cam 250 8.3's love a little more lube on the top side of the piston, that would about ensure that truck...

Ok, guys, the man bought the trucks at less than scrap value from GL I presume. He's offering up parts for cheap, ie a running 250 for $1,000 or less. The metal has weight, it's worth quite a bit in that form and last but not least, "We can't save them all". I've got a really nice M923...

Why not source an ENDT-673? I'm not smart on the M123 series 10 tons but what I'm suggesting certainly is a Mack motor that would be somewhat period correct and I'm confident it could make it move down the road just fine.

I have T831's on my truck and think they are great. We are putting G177's on a friends truck. It's quite a project as they are mounted on 5 ton wheels so we're having to demount 20 tires in order to install 10. Anyhow, I consider those two in the same category. I think the G177's have more...

In the field, we do the best we can. In private hands, a air powered impact is nice. We just did a tire change on an M923. We broke the top of a budd nut off with a 1" impact and had to call in some "experts". Sometimes they are put on there "that good". We did break a brand new manual...

I've got a friends truck in the front yard right now. RRAD tags, 2X,XXX showing but 13 hours on the tach and the drivetrain concurs. I know he has not been to a pressure washer with it. I'd have to say he scored a practically new truck. I think you'll see alot of them like it in the near future.

I've got an M923 hanging out in the front yard that can't keep up with a turned up Deuce. The M923 is now on 14's, the Deuce is on 11's, what fuel button does the group recommend? The 923 is strong and can blow by the Deuce once rolling, he just needs a little low end help. The 923 has never...

I like the idea of a 12V slave receptacle on the front. My HMMWV at work has one and a pair of hacked up slave cables with automotive style clips on the end. Really comes in handy for slaving off forklifts, container stackers, Buffalo MRAP's (who are primarily 12V) and air compressors. We did...

yes, when the points are closed as they are most of the time they ground the negative terminal of the ignition coil. The positive side should have voltage whenever the truck is switched on. When the points open, they disconnect the ground loop. This causes the voltage in the secondary...

Had a nice time today. Lee drove the CUCV, Atomic drove my Deuce and I drove Riddle's M923 now A1. Afterwards we had a great lunch at Riverfront BBQ. Absolutely incredible turnout for my small town and who knows how many pictures were taken but the trucks were an absolute hit. I'll do it...

We should have better photo's up tomorrow. Here's the line up.

Riddle got a tire repairer out today to remove the broken budd nut and the two remaining stuck ones. Truck is complete. We did have to pull the fronts back off to tighten the schrader valves on the back side of the stem as they were leaking. Now ready for the Leesburg Christmas Parade along...

I've been told the 250 will handle 50 percent in warmer climates like we have in GA. Can't speak for MD. I have a stranded M818 in my yard that is likely on 80 percent at this point. She is more hesitant to start now but runs fine once started.

Raise hood, go to drivers side of motor, push solenoid in and rotate throttle clockwise. Truck should start now. I've seen bad solenoids straight out of the box, if it remains stuck out when you turn the ignition on, check your wiring and repair as needed. Let us know. I've seen this many...

It's not that bad and I'm happy to hear someone has some black ones. I'd hate to spray paint some off color ones only to have it dry out the silicone.

Well played sir! The oil that is delivered to the base I work at is Rotella 15W40 and if it's good enough for them, I'll run the same. I've never heard anything bad about it and I run Diesel Oil in my older Non Catalytic Converter equipped vehicles as well as I've read it has higher sulfer...
