    Fuel tank building pressure

    I just picked up a M923A1, I drove it from NC to FL. It ran an operated flawlessly, the only thing I noticed was the fuel tank was building up pressure every time I stopped for fuel. Is this normal? It seems like the tank should be vented. The truck is one of the ones completely refurbished by...

    Bobbed A3 on 1600R20's

    This is my buddies truck that I helped him bob. We just got the big tires mounted the other day. We are still planning on lifting the frontend a little to make more clearance for the tires and make it look a little better. I have one idea of lifting the cab and fenders, but not the radiator and...

    900 Series Parts

    I posted an add in the classifieds a while back. The truck is an M929A1. A friend of mine bought it mainly for the axles with the plan to sell off the rest. We sold the transfercase yesterday, but just about everything else is up for grabs. The truck was rolled, so most of the body is trash, but...

    Alternator Short

    I couldn't find my answer using the search funtion, but I did try. I went and helped a friend of mine get his stranded deuce today and brought it back to my house. He got ready to leave an event yesterday afterrnoon, and it wouldn't start. Nothing on the dash would work, no low air buzzer. He...

    What's a LDS-465-1A worth?

    I have one that I've been hanging on to that came out of a 5 ton cargo I cut up. I've planned on keeping it to stick in my deuce if that engine ever goes, but I don't think I would use it for a long time. I'd hate to see it go to waste just sitting around. It did fire and run a little bit off...

    Urgent Migration

    I bought two lots of beadlock inserts a few weeks ago. Before I could pick them up, I was contacted by GL saying that the government wanted them back. Luckily I didn't drive the 500 miles one way to get them yet. I am supposed to receive a refund, but havn't seen anything yet. I tried calling...

    Transfer Case for a PTO

    I have an idea to use a divorced transfercase in between the transmission and the stock deuce case as a PTO. Has anyone ever done this? I know the stock case would have to be moved back to make room for it. It would also give you a second low range. A divorced NP205 could be used to power a...

    HEMTT Rims in Florida

    If anyone is looking for any, I have some listed in the classifieds. Also is there any interest in them if I recenter some? I know this is already being done, but I haven't seen a source in the south east yet.

    Has anyone ever bought the gasket that goes in between the chunk and the housing on 5 Ton axles, if so where did you get it and how much was it?. The part number out of the TM is 7346814. If it wasn't a holiday I could call around now and find out myself. Thanks

    CARC Scratches

    I've used the single component "383 Green" CARC from Sherwin Williams, and like everything about it other than it scratches so easy. Has everyone else had this same experience? I asked another member about the waterborne CARC and he said it scratches easy too. Does anyone have experience with...

    5 Ton multifuel measurement?

    I am debating if I want to use 5 ton springs in the front of my bobbed deuce on 5 tons project. I have the springs, hangers and all the hardware, and I know it would be the easiest way to bolt the frontend under my deuce, but I'm wondering about the ride height difference it would be to the...

    Studs and O-Rings

    I have four 20 stud combat rims that I will be using on a bobber project. I finally got them all out of the old tires they were mounted in. Three of the four still had good o-rings, but one had two o-rings stacked on top of each other. Naturally that one wasn't holding air either. I want to...

    Breaking Tire Bead

    I have a set of 20 stud combat wheels that I'm trying to get the old tires off of. I have successfully got all the nuts off without out galling the threads, but can't get the dang rims out of the tires. I tired what worked before on another set of two piece wheels, but didn't work this time. I...

    Redstone Success

    Well my new deuce is home safe and sound. A friend and I drove to Redstone Arsenal on Thursday. I took along everything possible planning for the worst, but hoping for the best. My appointment for pickup was 7:30 Friday morning. I got there a little early, and expected them to not be there yet...

    What's Missing

    I'm going to pick up my new deuce Friday morning. I have everything possible that I'm going to take with me, because I didn't get to preview the truck before I bought it. The listing said running condition unknown, but every truck in the lot said that out of about 40 trucks. They were covered in...

    Does diesel go bad?

    I got a M54 that I'm cutting up, and it has what looks like half a tank of fuel in it. As far as I know the truck hasn't been ran in at least two years probably more than that though. I can't find any info on the internet about if diesel goes bad and loses anything important in it. I would...
