    DLA Audit/Inspection Warning

    On my first ever deuce purchase back in 2001, I had the DLA come and audit me about the truck. Wife freaked out when the "DOD" guy called and set up a time to come see the truck and paper work. Luckily I had the truck still and the title (this is when GL issued titles for every truck). He...

    Id m62 series

    take off the top screw on the filter toward the firewall and bleed all the air there first with the in tank pump running. If no fuel there, then the pump does not run. If you get fuel out of that place, then try cracking an injector and crank then engine over to see if you can get fuel out.

    Wrecker wishlist of mods

    yea, I had been tossing the idea around about a remote control, nice small box with a joystick or two. Would probably be more expensive than the whole truck though.

    5 ton air release

    I don't know much about the M923 but here is my 2 cents worth- They were probably plumbed to the air cleaner so when the air gets sucked in (instead of expelled) no dirt or other stuff gets sucked into the brake master or whatever is plumbed to it.

    wrecker 816 vs 936 whitch is better

    Most of the time, the military towed trucks two ways: One is using a "whiffle tree bar" which hooks to the bumper and using the crane picks the front of the truck off the ground, then a towbar is hooked to the front axle with axle clamps. Two is just using the towbar to the front bumper and...

    XM813 with M246 Bed

    Yea, you would got to a lot of trouble to get it to work and it would probably tear up the back end, i.e. suspension and frame would get tweaked.
