    Can’t get this to start…FIXED!!!

    Ok, so she is getting fuel now. Pressure at secondary filters should be 60-70 psi once running. With fuel, air and compression there is not much reason why she should not fire. Injection timing could be off, of course, but you said she ran before. At this point I'd be inclined to let her sniff...

    Buying My First - Plan It To Be A Beyond The RV Crowd RV

    If you got it for a good price - which means that you were happy paying it and the seller happy receiving it - getting weather checked tires replaced on top of it is a bonus. Those big super singles are not cheap. I like the stance; the 5ton with the short van box looks muscular and well...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I wish to think I got them all, especially when doing the one on the brake pedal assembly and the one on the pintle, but i am sure I manage to forget one of the..what...42? zerks on a winch truck . Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    My deuce loses power

    I think you might be answering your own question. If it sounds/feels fuel starved, it likely is. You discovered crud in the tank and varnish. That stuff was likely also in the several yards of fuel line, supply and return. When that material starts moving, it can clog up new filters. Take the...

    Police surplus auction deuce

    I was thinking.."wow, 5k for THIS?" Looking at the truck in the picture with the molested bed and wooden "improvements". Then I figured out that this is not YOUR truck! Sometimes, more coffee is a good thing. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I wish it was my place! This is a former wool blanket factory, turned storage facility. Just got a new owner, with an immediate 80% price hike. Oh, well.....gotta pay to play, as they say.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    It is this time of the year again. Leaves falling, temperatures dropping and snow on the horizon. Queen Lola got tucked away into her winter quarters today. I am always in a slightly somber mood when I put her away. I do miss going for rides in those six months of the year. On the other...

    Any time I wince at the price of a part for my Deuce I will return to this bookmarked thread and feel like I have a cheap hobby! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    How to unload an M35A2

    Oh, the memories! Unloading an old dump truck in a similar fashion. "Put it in neutral" the guy said. Only, it wasn't. Engine coughed to life as the loader nudged the truck down the ramp. Then it took off. No way for us to run and catch it. Massacred a fence, a perimeter wall and got stuck in...

    Anyone interested in heavier duty hydraulic head button retaining clips?

    I'd grab a pair. Of clips and buttons. Not....anyways...stop talking.

    New guy from Arizona

    I think the OP mentioned 2 x 500 gallons, so about 9000 Ibs including tanks etc. If recall the data plate correctly, it is listing 10,000 lbs on-highway. Highway in the military sense is any solid-ish road surface, such as a gravel road. 5000 lbs off-road, which in the military sense means a...

    Just....awesome. I don't think I would ever have thought of doing this to an M109. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    New guy from Arizona

    Can't see the actual detail of the cut-down job but I dig the looks with the cargo bed and the wheelwell cut outs from the van box. Unique and looks more stylish than the regular bed. Is it open in the back or did they redneck a tail gate? By the sounds of it you have done some much needed...

    MV Addiction filled. Reis the Beast M1078A0 is born

    If it helps, I bought regular delineator decals, got magnetic backing material online and made my own removable delineator panels. Easy peasy. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Heater install, M35 gas

    If you go for the under dash mount of the heater, I recommend two things: - cut down the heater box; most of it is empty space that is unnecessary - use the diverter box for a 5ton, it has the intake on the right and that works perfect with the under dash placement of the heater. I do not have...

    The potential end of my 1958 M54A2

    Holy _____ No human got hurt, that is the main thing. A few good things in your favour - truck did not roll. Fenders, roof, doors and other sheet metal looks relatively healthy. The mirrors are good :) - the axles took a beating. While that is bad, it may have saved the frame. The rear axles...

    Front Axle Boots (Which One To Buy)

    I second @m715mike on rockwelloffroad.com boots. Their heavy duty boots are a tad oversized on purpose to ease installation. I changed them about three years ago and they are still perfect. I can say that install was a breeze. Mine are orange.....because...
