I have paperwork (original build sheet from GM) on my NOS M1028 that suggests the truck left GM completely 383 Green and was painted shortly thereafter NATO Tri Color by the Marines. I'd have to guess that GM didn't paint these trucks tricolor and the rims used to be green. They are black now...

When I get a Deuce out of Robins, I plan on having Batteries, Fuel filters, motor oil and I preview before I bid. They will let you drive them out of there provided all is good with the truck, you have insurance and temp tag papers. Preview, alot of people assume that since it's an Air Force...

Best of Luck on your trip Travis. Be safe and when in doubt, stop for the night. The truck should do fine!!!

Wife reported that she charged rear battery with it disconnected. Reconnected it (not sure if wires were good and tight) and still just clicking when she attempted to start. She said that the front battery was at 12.5 volts when she checked a few days ago. When she disconnected the rear...

Negative Sir! :beer: Might be looking into it when I get home. That's the frustrating part of it all, I won't really be able to touch it for another 13 days. I'll have the wife charge the battery, hook it up, move the truck and report what happens or if either of the Gen lights come on. I'll...

I'm having an issue with my M1028 and unfortunately, I'm about 640 miles away from it. My wife tried to start it to move it and cut the grass. She stated that the Gen 1 light was really dim, Gen 2 light was bright, wait light really dim and of course, it wouldn't attempt to start. She hooked...

M923A1, Uparmored cab, double stacked front bumper.

I'm a huge fan of a muffled deuce. I don't have a snorkel but perhaps will try one in the near future. At idle, the muffler is not that noticeable but there's huge difference running down the road. I used a Donaldson 3" in and out "over the road truck" muffler. I couldn't keep the screen but...

I'll give you a challenge. Hook an M818 behind your Deuce which weighs about 22,000 pounds and tow it around the block. Don't worry, it can do it. Please use an actual towbar, rated chains and proper airlines so you can use the towed vehicles brakes. After doing this exercise, you'll realize...

Could be a problem with the grease used when packing the bearing. I've had this issue on my truck. Mine like's the Lucas Heavy Truck grease. The first time I did an axle seal, I used "Disc Brake Grease" with the thought that if it can stand up to higher temps, it must be better. Well, that...

I'm thinking of trying a wastegate turbo off of a CAT C7. Should be close to the D but with a slight amount of whistle. I think more air should help with the EGT's and I may be able to surpass an LDS with an LDT!!! They all have piston squirters, I'm still trying to figure out the difference...

Getting ready to try and start my GT from my formerly peaceful Deuce. Thanks for the pics. I'd like to copy "Duce is Wild" with one exception. My wife want's stars on the hood and doors and we'll work through that issue as my truck comes together. I would like to be able to cover the back of...

You can drive them at around 25 to 30 MPH with no issues disconnected so long as the road is not rough and you have plenty of room to stop. They ride like a mechanical bull when disconnected though and that sloppy 1-2 shift will make it fall on it's nose and then raise up at about a 20 degree...

I tried it, engine running, glow plug already loosened and it didn't work. I tried to angle what was stuck this way and that but could never get it to "pop out" even under throttle. I've heard it can happen but in a game of "texas hold'em", I'll get a 2, a 9 and a 5 all in different suits and...

All of you who said it sounded like a Detroit got that part right. You guys are good! [thumbzup] There are some amateur's in every crowd. I've heard Detroits under all sorts of conditions but never a runaway. One older feller said they will rev so high, they emit a high pitched whistle...

plym49, With all due respect (I said that right), With all due respect, there is no way that video is real. A fireball coming through the hood? Sure the smoke screen never allowed the hood to be shown once the "explosion" took place but I never saw the shrapnel from the hood being blown...

I've got a CUCV at work that is losing it's prime when it sits overnight. The shop guys have tried replacing the fuel filter, tightening some clamps on fuel lines but the problem is still there. The truck is another one of those Norway Cave trucks with less than 4,000 miles on it. My personal...

The Deuce explosion video soundtrack sounds like a normal Detroit 8V92 in a HEMMT under full throttle in low gear until it grenaded. I'm with you Rayzer!!!

I wanted a Deuce from the first time I drove one. It was October 2002, Udari Range Kuwait, Camp Pennsylvania. The Supply truck was a tan deuce with a whistler turbo. I'd always volunteer to take the trash away from the tents the trash heap just so I could drive the deuce. I bought my deuce...

well, with my limited knowledge and I hope M35-Tom reads this and chimes in words of wisdom. 2nd gear is the weak link in this trans which is why he goes to the trouble to install a roller bearing with the taller overdrive. The shaft going through 2nd spins pretty fast and even faster once the...
