    Another 5ton towing scenario question

    Seems like it would be better to have a truck that could carry more than just the counter weights. Extra steel or tools plus cribbing. Still say M920 with winch removed and put in front of truck. Reduce the wire size so the spool could handle something like 300 feet of cable. Custom 15 /16 foot...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    One side down and nailed shut with correct hardware. Not pretty because I painted the bottom and edges before install and just a little tacky but here don't need pretty just strong. The other side has been worked and Ospho sprayed so now it sits 24 hours or more till try.

    Another 5ton towing scenario question

    Agree M920 with drop axle left on if you want to stay with military stuff. Hendrickson walking beam rear.

    M35a2 White Smoke

    If the chemicals don't clear it then one of the injector tips are fouled would be my thought.

    M1078 LMTV planetary hub setup

    No trouble really. Mine had a ton of silicone in the bolt holes that hold on the outer hub cover. Just sprayed brake clean in the bolt holes and use air to clean them out. Just funny as to how much sealer some people think it takes to seal. I used High Tack spray adhesive and just sprayed on the...

    Take care when selling your Deuce.

    Do believe a Diesel that has had or close to it a chance to warm up and limber the oil can be taken to the governor for a no load test. You might have gotten lucky and no harm no foul.

    M35a2 White Smoke

    Agreed myself I might add some kind of cleaner with clean Diesel fuel and triple dose it before I pulled injectors or worried about the IP. I would not worry about putting weight in the bed in less you have a crane handy and do it quick and fast. That motor will run fine at 2400 2500 rpm so go...

    M1078 LMTV planetary hub setup

    Thanks again to Kodyman got a chance today to correct the out of phase front drive shaft. Guess I got lucky no vibrations so going with balance is good and noise is gone. Maybe someone flat towed it with just removing the rear axle shafts and for the front just the front part of the drive line...

    Squeezed fuel Line

    Then believe the easy way to fix is a new piece of copper. Compleat with flairs or just two unions and piece of copper tubing cut out bad. I know some say I won't be off road but the next person might or might like to. Simple fix.

    Squeezed fuel Line

    Why would you place the new line in harms way? Looks nice but that placement from the factory was incorrect to begin with.

    M35a2 White Smoke

    Will agree here go run it and bring engine water / oil up to Temp. then see how exhaust looks when you blip or go under load to full throttle. Diesels need there heat to be up and correct. If I have to just run in to the store or fueling up my Duramax I don't even shut down the engine.

    PSI at the Glad Hands?

    Tough crowd this day. Talking about chickens I planted ten chickens head first in the ground and they did not grow. I then planted ten more chickens feet first but they died too. I got in contact with the U.S. Depart of AG. and they were confused too. Best thing they had to offer was just send...

    Squeezed fuel Line

    Just a new thought. Now would be the time to upgrade the system. Starting at the fuel tank remove and replace the feed line and run correct fittings and Synflex to new spin on fuel / water catch filter. You can put this new spin on addapter / filter any where you want and that is easy to get to...

    Squeezed fuel Line

    If you can get the DOT Synflex air line to work and also tuck it up out of the way this time.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Finishing up the last of the repairs. The wood at the thresh hold after 10 years of leaking and some minor rot to start with I am replacing the 1 1/8" x 12" oak double lipped flooring. Only doing one side at a time of the middle steel runner. Forty six foot oak piece to do both sides I had to...

    MEP-501 fuel pump seized.

    Yea sitting up that long without a monthly warm up /test and additives not good. I add Opti/lube to the Trucks plus all the military generators that I had. I also double or triple up on the dose to the fuel. Wonder if the tarnish is the same as we see in the Deuce injection system? Myself on...

    GAA Grease

    They are calling it a biodegradable weapons lubricant. Your truck but there are plenty of EP greases at NAPA that will work just fine in my book. There is no place on the truck that you can't put enough grease to change out what is in the greaseable area / fitting. I like the red sticky EP in...
