    Help identifying early deuce - M47 dump?

    Thanks for the reply. The truck does have some rust through at the base of the cab in a few places, but Ive worked with much less. Obviously I will need a cab top, but most of the major parts seem to be there. I had been under the impression that the hood of the 1951 Reo was rounded and they had...

    Help identifying early deuce - M47 dump?

    Good morning, folks! I took a look at this truck the other day and didnt know what to think of it. It was my understand that this truck should have had frontload axles and rounder hood sheetmetal, yet it looks like a later deuce. It is singled out and everything lines up. So, is this the wrong...

    First tank WMO and engine quits!

    That sounds too low, but I dont know. Do you have fuel out of the IP lines? Tried cracking a line at the injector to see? Might want to check the plunger in your HH if not, its been known to seize.

    M54A2 in WA needs IP before getting impounded

    I used PB Blaster the day before, so I figured that would work. I will suggest to them that they use oil. I don't believe that they will bob it, they just want 53s and a winch. They are local and I can't wait to see them driving it around when it is done. They are doing exactly as I had hoped...

    M54A2 in WA needs IP before getting impounded

    I had a heck of a time getting those injector lines off! I didn't end up finishing taking it off because someone gave me an offer on the truck I couldn't refuse with as broke as I am right now. Chris, I am forwarding that info that you gave me to the guy that bought it so he can get it done and...

    M54A2 in WA needs IP before getting impounded

    And after reading more in the above reference thread, I guess it could still be the button. I will see what I come up with tomorrow.

    M54A2 in WA needs IP before getting impounded

    Alright, after not being able to get to it for two days due to bad luck with other stuff, I went out and messed with it. The plunger is able to be pushed back down, but keeps sticking every time, so tomorrow the head is coming out. This cap on the button couldn't be causing this, could it? I...

    M54A2 in WA needs IP before getting impounded

    Just talked to GimpyRobb and I will be doing more troubleshooting of the hydraulic head in the AM. Truck just shut off going down the road when it died, so I'll be messing with the plunger stuff in the HH. I hadn't even though of private storage, but I will look into that if I can't get it...

    M54A2 in WA needs IP before getting impounded

    Hey Everyone I've been a lurker for quite awhile learning as much as I could and doing searches regarding just about everything. I have learned a lot from you guys! Anyways, here's the skinny: 2 weeks ago IP let go. ZERO fuel to the injectors, but fuel to the IP via the in-tank pump...
