All of you who said it sounded like a Detroit got that part right. You guys are good! [thumbzup] There are some amateur's in every crowd. I've heard Detroits under all sorts of conditions but never a runaway. One older feller said they will rev so high, they emit a high pitched whistle...

plym49, With all due respect (I said that right), With all due respect, there is no way that video is real. A fireball coming through the hood? Sure the smoke screen never allowed the hood to be shown once the "explosion" took place but I never saw the shrapnel from the hood being blown...

I've got a CUCV at work that is losing it's prime when it sits overnight. The shop guys have tried replacing the fuel filter, tightening some clamps on fuel lines but the problem is still there. The truck is another one of those Norway Cave trucks with less than 4,000 miles on it. My personal...

The Deuce explosion video soundtrack sounds like a normal Detroit 8V92 in a HEMMT under full throttle in low gear until it grenaded. I'm with you Rayzer!!!

I wanted a Deuce from the first time I drove one. It was October 2002, Udari Range Kuwait, Camp Pennsylvania. The Supply truck was a tan deuce with a whistler turbo. I'd always volunteer to take the trash away from the tents the trash heap just so I could drive the deuce. I bought my deuce...

well, with my limited knowledge and I hope M35-Tom reads this and chimes in words of wisdom. 2nd gear is the weak link in this trans which is why he goes to the trouble to install a roller bearing with the taller overdrive. The shaft going through 2nd spins pretty fast and even faster once the...

M35-tom or someone with a similar name has a fix for second gear welding along with a taller OverDrive for the trans. For second, he has a roller bearing that goes between the gear and the shaft. I've not ordered one of his kits but reading his posts about his research into the trans, he'd be...

Mine used to do that from time to time. I feel like you have an injector sticking open. An older gentlemen advised me to pour about 2 gallons of fresh 15W40 in a tank of fuel. Between that, some 2 stroke oil, and some PS Diesel Kleen, it doesn't do it any longer. I've got AC 60G's installed...

If they allowed political views expressed freely on here, we'd dissolve into different factions pretty quickly rather than simply discussing trucks of many makes and models. The site is geared towards old military trucks, nothing more, nothing less. What happened today, just turn a blind eye...

Justin, does it have the single digit display or the dual digit display? Which one do you have and do you suspect it is Tango Uniform? If so, let me know what you're looking for and I'll see if I can find one.

I found this funny on Pirate4X4 when googling "steelsoldiers hacked" earlier today. Got the same one this morning... At first I was all, "**** yes! Steel Soldiers sponsored revolt?! FTMFW! Then I was all... "Awww ****... the internet fags are at it again." "Redistribute wealth".... ****...

We've got a project going on that involves pulling the armored cab off of MK-48's and John Deere 644E scoop loaders. The remaining chassis will go to DRMO. The original sheet metal cabs went to DRMO about a year ago and had to be crushed prior to removal. Talk about Waste, Fraud and Abuse...

My motor's a New in 92' Hercules with a 120 psi gauge and sending unit. Cold, 90 psi whether at idle or governor so I suppose the pressure relief must be set at that. Warm, 20 or so at idle and almost 60 going down the road. Some say that's low but it's run hundreds of hours with no issues...

I've personally had Deuces without the steering wheel tied off go to full left or right lock in slower speed turns. Even with the prime mover being an M936A2, the Deuce will create quite a headache on a flat tow without the steering will tied off when it goes full left or right on you which...

Firestone T831's indeed. They look great but a word of caution, when you put radial tires on a Deuce, they tend to wander around the lane a little and require quite a bit more attention and steering corrections when driving down the road. The solution is to modify the caster plates between the...

An update for the masses that love 6.2 powered HMMWV's, that truck that hydrolocked it's motor twice blew it's engine recently. It spit 2 connecting rods out of the oil pan. It now has a GEP 6.5 N/A in it's place. The truck survived 5,000 miles of driving and many month's of idling after the...

use air lines between the Deuce Prime Mover and the Disable 5 ton, turned up, the Deuce can get it to about 50 on the flats. For the turns, keep it slow but I'd rather tow a 5 ton behind a Deuce than a Deuce behind a Deuce because the 5 ton will turn with you. A Deuce will turn the other way...

I run 50% filtered WMO or WVO. Diesel is over $4.00 a gallon and the new diesel doesn't have much lube in it and causes problems for my truck. Mine actually runs better and doesn't hang an injector up with oil in it. I may be past 50% depending on how much WMO or WVO gets diverted from my...

PM me an e-mail address, I'll send you the powerpoint slideshow detailing "normal" operation as well as the TM's for the HSHMC-25 when I get to work tomorrow.

You can drive a HSHMC-25 from the upper cab, you're just limited to 1st gear and reverse only to do "pick and carry" ops. One time we had one that would only engage throttle from the upper cab but the steering and brakes wouldn't work from there so I steered and braked from the lower cab and by...
