In response to the OP and the original thread title, Plan to spend about 2K to get the truck as bidding is on the high side right now. My winning bid on both my trucks was under 1K but the market is high on buyer's or "flippers" and they've caught on to the fever. Getting it home, shipping is...

Fantastic on the count CARNAC, I'd like to change the numbers slightly to reflect that my truck is not an M1008, it's a M1028!!! Fantastic turnout of trucks and we'll be there next year!!! Thanks for the green sticker!!!

PM AMGENERAL, I consider him the resident expert on the Mack Diesels!!! Very nice guy!

Thanks DH for pointing out the 12V conversion for the GP's in your previous post. I have gotten lost in looking for the correct picture to make it clear in my mind. I'll be putting new AC60G's in my truck soon and would like to make at least 7 of them last should number 8 decide to burn out...

GN, That's not my flatbed, the M151 is owned by Faviking on here, the jeep is Zout's, the Cucv is mine and the flatbed or Landoll is PB's. If you know the login names, you know who they are. If not, I can't reveal their identity as they conduct secret experiments at that place. Only folks...

That's what 4WD is for PB!!! I doubt the bigger tires would have helped me that particular day. It was a good week/weekend though. The longest trip this truck has driven 1 way was to your compound and back, roughly 100 miles each direction and of course, it did fine. Now the larger tires...

I appreciate the kind comments from both sides. I've had the truck over a year now and the only change is an addition of a CD player and about 2,000 miles of driving. Of course, the honey do list and a few expenses have limited the budget for stuff we have no real need for so it's still...

The Mack would be a great swap!!! I drive a 5 ton equipped with one on occasion, it's awesome!!!

I got some paperwork on it this past week, it's cousin's showed up!!! Mine's 275, 269 and 277 showed up this week and 275 is on all there paperwork. They were the 3 CUCV firefighter's in Norway in case the need arrived on the airfield during an exercise. They spent most of their early time in...

I'll say fuel system related. My Glowplugs are essentially dead and need replacing very soon. Once it's run for about a 5 minutes, there's enough heat left in the heads that it will start 5 hours later or so about the moment I engage the stater. I have had it shut off after a cold start when...

GM Diesels are not very highly rated RPM wise, 3,600 is where the governor is set on most. I've never blown one up and have been unfairly hard on them most of the time I've had a chance to run one. We're talking HMMWV's with 3 speed trans screaming at the P in MPH at the bottom left of the...

I'm averaging about 11 mpg's by comparing the odometer to the fuel added to a full tank, mostly diesel but I save motor oil from everything in the yard, filter it and pour that in as well. It's probably slightly less due to adding the oil but we're only talking 5 or 6 quarts at a time as I...

I agree that the C seems to spool faster but, it's likely because I can "hear" it spooling at anything above idle which I enjoy. I had a D on the truck, my boost seems pretty much the same between the two and the power is pretty much the same. If we put it on a dyno, we might notice a...

Black smoke on a Deuce is good to a point. Black smoke is fuel that has NOT been used which is ok to a point on a turbo Deuce to get spoolin, completely wasted on a N/A Deuce. If it's still rollin black smoke once the turbo is spooled, you're wasting fuel and working on burning pistons, valves...

Mine has enough to spin like crazy on dirt when hooked to a tree!!! That's when you engage the front axle, spin all 10 a little and then pull down the tree. It runs the 1/4 in about a minute with a trap speed of 50 miles per hour or so, on 11R20's, the fuels turned up, it's got a whistler...

If by "air leaking" from the handbrake, that's normal. It sounds like an elephant sneezing out of the intake pipe right to the left of your head, just behind the cab. Light switch could be a culprit to the lighting issue. Coolant on the passenger floor, possible that the heater core is bad...

A2's are plentiful enough but there are many more NHC 250 powered 900's. A2's are desirable as they are usually newer, have an updated motor that parts are very plentiful for, albeit expensive. The extra 100+ lb ft of torque and the ability to upgrade to much more for cheap are nice. The 6CTA...

militarysteel, If you're being serious then I may offend. Sorry. You can pick up a cherry M818 and M105 trailer, bob the 818, sell the axle and 5th wheel, and drop the bed on fairly easily. 19K is asking a 10K markup which might work on a private sell to someone who doesn't know any better...

TG, yes, if your's clears up when warm, run the heck out of it for a few miles, it'll thank you. I take mine 200 miles away from home once a year to Durhamtown and he always runs better after that trip. More power, smoother. I also take it for a weekly drive to work which is about 40 miles...

Very interesting setup. I believe the issue will be the 2100 rpm governed speed and the 6.72 to 1 axle ratios. I am aware that 4 something axle ratio's are available from O Engineering, albeit, some claim that they are rather weak and best suited for Jeeps and such. Braking is another issue...
