    XM818 a semi failed recovery

    Replace it all! I had the same issues when I first got my truck also. Here are some ideas for replacements. I replaced everything from tanks to IP (to include the return lines) (the spin-on fuel filter mod was already in place) with these items...

    adding air horn auxillary air tank to a m939

    Here's my M818 set up. It's not full air brakes, but here's some ideas. The horn is a Nathan P3. The tank is an aluminum DOT approved 8.5 gal plumbed with 1/2" DOT nylon air brake tubing and push-to-connect fittings from the dry tank. The tank is mounted vertically behind the cab on the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I have one of those also. Wired through the reverse light circuit. The mounting is just a little different since I installed the new drop side bed.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I have just one. It activates through an air/electric switch pressurized via the reverse air line for the transfer case sprag declutching cylinder. It's merely for reversing safety and I don't use it as a spot light.

    Hearing Protection - An often overlooked safety concern

    We use a set of aircraft headphones with a portable intercom. When I drive solo I wear a simple pair 3M earmuffs.

    Self Cancelling Turn Signal Modification

    I got the kit for $55.00 on Amazon, of all places. I just checked and there aren't anymore there. Search the kit number in the OP and see what is out there. It wasn't easy to find when I was looking. The rings themselves are on eBay (NSN 6220-01-445-5058).

    Installed a HMMWV self cancelling turn signal switch and fabricated a cancelling ring adapter collar for my M35A3 type steering wheel. Here's the mod thread...http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?133478-Self-Cancelling-Turn-Signal-Modification

    Self Cancelling Turn Signal Modification

    A couple of weeks back I installed a HMMWV self-cancelling turn signal switch (Kit # AM General 57K3222). However, the cancelling ring would not properly mount to the conical base of the M35A3 type steering wheel on my truck. So, the self cancelling feature would not work. This past couple of...

    Oh, now ya' done it! I have to even it out now. I guess it's off to eBay to get another can holder...and strap...and... ;)

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Being sick and tired of throwing my chocks in the bed and no room anywhere else, I installed a storage bracket on my left fuel tank protector. And, yes, I checked for clearance during axle articulation. I just put the 4-ton on it and lifted it the stop [thumbzup]. The chocks and the bracket are...

    Anyone use Grote flasher unit 44010 on Deuce?

    Lollipop lights Kit P/N 12301147. They come up on eBay now and then. Thanks. The side lights are standard equipment on M939-series 5-tons. I fabbed up the brackets for my truck and installed amber LED markers.

    M813A1 fuel leak under load

    Do you have power loss? Sucking air into the supply line will cause this and this does not sound like this is your issue. Check your return line. I understand from a Cummins guru that RPM's will hang if there is blockage/restriction in the return line hence not allowing excess fuel to flow...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    When I first bought my truck, I had removed the left fuel tank and installed an under-bed tool box. I later decided to re-install a left fuel tank so the tool box became surplus and I was once again lacking storage space. Well, with the new drop-side bed installed, I finally decided to put the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I finally took some pics of the finished bobbed drop side bed project.

    Highway speed

    Lollipops, LED side marker, ID, turn signal/running, and tail lights, conspic tape (front, back and on the inside of the doors), reflective signs. I've changed the bed since these pics, but the rear set up is pretty much the same.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Last week, with installation of my new drop side bed last month, I repainted the inside of the bed with the help of my son. We just rattle canned the corners and rolled the rest...no fuss and little mess. I decided not to apply bed liner coating as paint is easier to fix up if you get rust...
