M925A1 Everyday Rebuild

[BlenderDriver]

Hey folks, just getting a post going to share some of the build I've started on my 925. I've owned Deuces before but first time in the 5 ton world. Looking forward to working this truck some. Maybe not quite as much as Wes though.

(If we could get an admin to move this to 5ton modding/hotrodding that would be awesome)

Couldn't help myself, I was a machinegunner once upon a time. I see tracers, I return fire.

First update, truck has new batteries in as of this month. Identified a leaking rear rocker box gasket and have a PT pump to diagnose. It's displaying some runaway tendencies (feels like maybe the handle throttle is stuck internally). We've been able to get the truck to idle by manually moving the lever on the pump shaft w/ the control linkage but most certainly not ideal for driving. (Unless you have a combat gnome riding in the engine bay).

PT pump is going to have to come off and figure out what's going on inside. To preface this, I followed the PS Magazine article and traced the linkage and removed the bracket that commonly snags it and prevents it from returning but no luck there. Will update with some pictures as we progress.
