    Newbie Question on charging

    I have a 925A1 and when I picked it up at GL it had what looked to be 4 brand new batteries, about a month later I could not get the truck to start, all the voltages read as they should but charging them did nothing, I finally put a load tester on them and found that 2 out of the 4 were shot, I...

    wanting some info on dueces

    m16ty seems to have it all right! I hate to pass info that I dont have confirmed BUT it seems almost everybody stays away from the LDS 427, I am not positive why but that seems to be just about everything I have ever read both on this website and else where. I have had two LDT 465s and loved...

    11.00R20's ? T831 vs G177 ? ?

    I have no experience with the 831s but I ran G177s on my 925 last year and the truck was still dueled at that time, traction was darned good even with duals they ran nice and cool I really liked those tires and right now they are very reasonable prices, like 125 to 150 per tire with flap, they...

    Out of balance ???

    There was a post on here a while back about some thing like silica sand that could be put into the tire, of course you would have to take the tire/wheel apart to do this, I was interested in this because I was putting 1400s on my 925 but seem to have gotten lucky it needs nothing and rides...

    M35A2C vs M923

    I have 2 Deuces and a 925A1 please dont get me wrong I have always had a soft spot for the Deuces, after I got my 925 1 of the deuces was sold right away, does the Deuce get better mileage HECK YES over 10 with both Deuces and I average between 3 and 5 with the 925, is it worth the sucking of so...

    Congrats on the 5 ton they are very nice trucks to drive, quiet and pretty darned smooth. Fuel mileage? Dont worry about it, is what it is. When you get to doing your recovery depending on if your going to drive it home or haul it your going to want to check all the fluids and that includes...

    M-123

    Well folks I have a little story for you. I have been driving by an old truck all summer and all I could see on it was the top of the cab, I told my daughter about seeing it and she finally said Dad we need to look at that truck, I found an employee at the business who gave me permission to...

    Surplus HMMWV's? Anywhere?

    What I have heard from what I would consider a fairly reliable source is that a few Hmmwvs were let go a few years ago and that will be IT, there will be NO MORE complete vehicles auctioned off to the public, they are possibly going to part some out but the vast majority will be crushed for...

    Ryan 4 psi in the pump is to low 7 psi is in the ball park much more than that and the seals in the carb wont hold it. Also I did not see it was 35 gal. per hour pump I have serious doubts if that volume is going to be enough to feed that engine at higher RPMS. I would get a fuel pump that I...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hello folks After driving my 925 the other day I noticed a little puddle of coolant under it, upon further examination I had a little leak on the top rear tranny line on the oil cooler, I replaced the O-rings on both inlet and outlet on the tranny lines and no more leaks, easy fix! KK

    Newbie--M929 out of New Castle

    Nice looking Truck David congrats on the purchase! I am sure this is covered in prior posts but pretty much the normal stuff to go over before getting on the road. Bring batteries you need to bring only 2 good ones to get the truck running. Check the brakes out to make sure they function...

    Newbie from North Iowa

    Dumpy congrats and welcome to the site! You truck obviously had a gas engine in it, which is no different than any other one, it needs fuel, air and spark to run, I would start by checking to see if you have spark at the plugs, if so then move to Fuel are you getting any to the carburator? if...

    m35a2 with a few problems...

    Good suggestions her already but I will add my 2 cents worth also. I had this problem and spot tested the block temps while running in the 200 degree range, it seemed higher than normal to me? It was as hot as the temp gauge said it was, I then replaced the thermostat and that wade no...
