I am a complete Jeep newb and need help. My mix of civi and military 1956 M38 with the L134 is now running. The points had some pitting so I sanded them down and reinstalled which brought the spark back. The person who helped me thought that there should be a resistor inline so that once the...

I am looking to purchase this more as yard art, and was wondering if it is to be valued like scrap metal or something rare and valuable?

I am going to pull in the local fair to help generate publicity for our yearly veterans day parade. Since I have never pulled anything with the truck I am looking for advice from those who have, or who used them in the service. I have been reading the TM Operators manual for the past few hours...

Need help with the 8V92 in the HET. Had the first convoy to raise money for the veterans parade today. Since the truck is new to me there are still some issues. I noticed on the way home the dip stick came open and splattered some oil on the side of the truck. I wrote it off as I must not have...

I need some pointers. The M925 that I am restoring is getting expensive and over the top. I am trying to keep it as correct as possible and have replaced just about anything that shows wear. This truck will be used for veterans events and shows. Might be used in a natural emergency or crisis as...

Hello, I ended up buying the civilian/army M38 Willys. Being my first the engine looks like what is in the TM's but I never see it listed as a type. Do you guys know what I can tell the auto parts store it is? That would be handy to know for plugs, etc. The reason I ask is the thing has two...

Guys, I am seeking your help in regards to what these vehicles are worth BOTH in their current shape and when cleaned up. These are located in Indiana. A friend of mine who has owned them for a long time wants to sell them to me as he knows I will take good care of them. He however has close to...

Guys, I need help with this! I have broken down twice because of this now and can’t be stranded anymore. This is an M813 with the 250. When driving the engine suddenly dies with no warning. I pull over, move the run switch to “start” and absolutely nothing no click from the starter or anything...

Hello, my friend and I were working on the 1970 M813 truck getting it ready for an around 800 mile round trip to Findlay later this week. We drained the transfer case and the fluid was very dark and nasty. Attached to the magnetic plug there were these strips of metal. I could reach in the drain...

Hello, I am wanting to venture into the Willys/Jeep vehicles. So far I have only had 5 tons. I have an opportunity to purchase this Willys from a person in my same town. Since I literally know very little about them I am looking for an honest assessment as to its value or anything I should...

Hello, I am looking at a M925A2 that was rebuilt in 2009 by Red River. I had saw a comment by a member before that says to steer clear of any "rebuilds" as they are more trouble that other non reconditioned trucks. Has anyone else had good or bad experiences around rebuilt trucks? Thanks

Hello, I found this in the manual at one point but never could find the part #. I am getting ready to do the first oil change on my truck since I have had it. Its a 70 XM813 with the NHC-250. The drain plug center square is stripped out. I would like to get a new magnetic plug and washer. Does...

Hello, Ever since I bought my XM813 it has required a triple press of the brakes. 1 pump little to no braking force, second pump, much more break power, third pump great brakes, but if you push too hard prepare for tire chirping. I found a leak where the all new brake lines connect to the new...

Hi, I am replacing all the hoses and the thermostat on my NHC-250 this weekend. While I am at it I am going to add a spin on Baldwin base. I am using the Fleetguard ES Compleat Ethylene Gycol coolant Part Number CC2825 directly from Cummins that has the SCA Additive in it. It is a 50/50 premix...

Hello! I am new to the group and in Evansville Indiana. My truck is a 1970 XM813 which is a 5 ton 6x6 with the NHC-250 Cummins. I have had it for about a month and so far I like the hobby. The truck generally runs like a top and has very minor or few leaks. I was driving down a state...
