I broke a fuel line to the flame heater on my Deuce one time and wound up with the exact same symptoms. I know, different everything but one thing stayed the same. It'd start right up after a long sit but stall out after a few seconds. It'd come back to life after a bit of cranking. The lift...

Well, it could be a secret love. PB told me that he doesn't care for CUCV's, now he own's one as do I. Ron could be in denial, CUCV's normally don't have a split rim that can come apart on you if you neglect to check the air in the tires. It really was neat to watch the locking ring and then...

Did Travis ever get the A/C conversion working in that truck? Looked pretty nice last time I saw if for the SGM Association Car Show. I'll try to get my better half a M1009 one of these days so I can take back my M1028!!! Good Score!!!

I like the link to Devilman's build. I'm getting ready to do the same thing to a truck at work. We'll be putting a 6.5 GEP with Turbo from a HMMWV into the truck. This will be my learning truck, then the NOS USMC CUCV will undergo the knife for the first time and receive a 6.5 GEP with Turbo...

Sir, You are very well respected on this board, I'll extend the same courtesy. I've read many times that adding a turbo to a multi equals zero power increase. I can't quite figure that one out at all. The N/A's smoke like crazy when you press the pedal or "up the fuel". Black Smoke. I...

If I lay off the Nattie's, ie motivation fuel for 2 weeks, I could stop drinking altogether and then have a fire sale of the mess of stuff in my yard. It'd upset the balance of things around here!!!

I've got an old ugly set of 6TL's in mine now, ship date of July 2010 and they get the job done even when the glow plugs are burnt out. With a CUCV, it's not so much, how much battery do you have, it's more about, "have you got fresh glow plugs" and "have you switched them to 12 Volts and...

In the glove box next to the tag receipt and insurance card. No problem in GA!

I'm considering buying a F800 with a 8.3 Cummins equipped with a Bosch P pump, and Allison 4 speed auto to replace my Deuce's drivetrain along with a set of 4.90 to 1 Oversun Engineering gears and some Steve6X6X6 disc brakes. It would be alot of work but it does seem like a heck of a project...

About 98% of the truck is 12 Volt already. I do recommend removing the resistor from the firewall behind the air cleaner and supplying the glow plug relay with 12 Volts off the main 12V bus on the driver's side of the firewall. Other than that, I'd leave it alone.

I just put a HH on this afternoon. How in the world could you torque them if the rest of the injection pump is on the truck? Good Job though, not many Deuce owner's have pulled a HH!!

I just replaced mine with the AC 60G's. 5 of the SWellenman's need extraction help with the OTC kit, just put them in about a month ago. I also did the recommend resistor bypass this time, replaced the connector's to mate up with the new glow plugs and all is well on this 2 acre's. I also put...

Back in the day (not THAT long ago), I was Active at Stewart. The hobby shop there is pretty good, they have most almost any tool you could ask for, and it was only about $3.50 an hour for a bay. I only pass through there now and then since I joined the GANG or GA National Guard. The nice...

The A2's are nice, newer, sometimes have a working CTIS and always have a turbo. Now, add a turbo to the "old" NHC 250 and bump the fuel and watch out. That big motor want's to run!!! I love the A2's and have always loved the sound of the big cubic inch Cummins in the older trucks. I've...

I would chock the wheels, put the trans in 5th and rotate the jackshaft between the trans and transfer case.

M939's have straight air brakes. Requires at minimum a CDL B in Georgia, I'd go the CDL A route just in case a LEO tries to give you a hard time about driving a tractor without a CDL A even with no trailer behind it.

We put the truck in 5th, high transfer and moved the entire truck. It can also be done in gear with a wrench snaked through a universal joint. You would have to get very lucky to line the marks up with the starter. We're talking, a truck in 5th moving almost 1/2 an inch to get things lined...

10-4 Gimpy, that's the plan. I only saw 1 O-Ring at the base of the HH, sorta recessed into the IP body. The owner is ordering a kit from White Owl and the plan is to put it back together Saturday. I believe it was leaking more into the shut off housing than anywhere else but the 1 o ring at the...

The M818 or the M931 or 932 would have pulled the shop trailer. The M915 or M916 were for line haul units. The M915's and M916's also have commercial Freightliner VIN's and in most places cannot be registered without Commercial Plates. That also means commercial insurance from what I've...

Great thread, it's been a wonderful read and I've read it a couple of times in the past few days. I just pulled a hydraulic head today for a buddy. It went flawless. He's having an issue of making oil on a truck that already has the FDC bypassed so here we are. The truck ran fine prior to...
