Bump to top, there should be a few more after the Camp Shelby one's went today!!! Who got them?

I'm about 100 miles away, if no one closer can help, I'll try but it'd be after Christmas.

Congrats on continuing to feed your appetite for Big Green Iron. I believe those feet are for 1 1/2" pins and I don't think you can get them onto your truck. I have seen feet that will work for that have the 1" pins you'll need. I know a 1" pin can fit into a 1 1/2" hole. The 1 1/2" end is...

Not quite true. Out of all the 5 ton trucks at MCLB Albany, only about half have lockers. There's usually a data plate on the glove box door or on the driver's door.

I was just about to ask the same question as I'm ready to do all 8.

They don't really want to "reclaim" the truck. The IG guys spend hours every day looking for "possible" missing equipment. Since HMMWV's were never meant to be in "public" hands, when they show up, they throw a flag. If it's got a solid paper trail, you'd be happy to own it. Sheriff's...

CUCV's don't have a 3 lever switch like the bigger trucks do. They are identical to a 12V Civilian model chevy truck of it's day with the exception of the 24V starter and glowplug system. I don't have a clue as to why the OP's truck is acting like it it, I've heard of CUCV's being disposed of...

Okay, finally got the last swollen glow plug out tonight. Cylinder 2 had the swollen plug (OTC help), cylinder 3 had the short plug (tip appears gone), cylinder 4 had a slightly eroded plug tip that was swollen (OTC help) and cylinder 5 had a severely eroded tip (OTC help). I tried to get good...

Mine sounds about like this truck when it's acting up. Would that sound be injector related by chance or am I looking at pulling a head and doing some more serious work? It's very intermittent, the more I run it, the less it seems to happen.

That's not the compound, that photo was taken by a JC Penny at the Albany Mall. That event was the 9/11 Memorial event which is pretty neat. They put up 1,000 Flags in the field adjacent to the mall, host a car show and the Marine Base sets up a static display which this year included an MTVR...

It could be but it's just so intermittent. I mean, it does it for perhaps 5-10 seconds at a time, it sometimes goes a few hundred miles between "episodes", sometimes it'll act up back to back, hot or cold, etc. It's got 3 other swollen glowplugs that I didn't try to force as I'll wait for the...

I know this is digging up my own old thread. Everytime this truck has acted as though an injector was bad, it'd smoke out of the driver's side tailpipe until it cleared up. I've got another idea. Rather than an injector problem, I believe I'm the victim of a glow plug tip in the...

My previous USMC CUCV has that black tar all underneath it. It's got a sticker under the hood on the radiator support designating that it's been "rustproofed" and they did a good job, not a touch of rust anywhere. I'd say it's a plus on that trailer!

when you hook the air lines up to tow a M939, don't drop the parking brake lever. Push the black "spring brake overide" button under the dash next to your right knee as your sitting in the driver seat. That should release the "spring brakes" but allow the regular brakes to engage when you use...

In response to the OP and the original thread title, Plan to spend about 2K to get the truck as bidding is on the high side right now. My winning bid on both my trucks was under 1K but the market is high on buyer's or "flippers" and they've caught on to the fever. Getting it home, shipping is...

Fantastic on the count CARNAC, I'd like to change the numbers slightly to reflect that my truck is not an M1008, it's a M1028!!! Fantastic turnout of trucks and we'll be there next year!!! Thanks for the green sticker!!!

PM AMGENERAL, I consider him the resident expert on the Mack Diesels!!! Very nice guy!

Thanks DH for pointing out the 12V conversion for the GP's in your previous post. I have gotten lost in looking for the correct picture to make it clear in my mind. I'll be putting new AC60G's in my truck soon and would like to make at least 7 of them last should number 8 decide to burn out...

GN, That's not my flatbed, the M151 is owned by Faviking on here, the jeep is Zout's, the Cucv is mine and the flatbed or Landoll is PB's. If you know the login names, you know who they are. If not, I can't reveal their identity as they conduct secret experiments at that place. Only folks...

That's what 4WD is for PB!!! I doubt the bigger tires would have helped me that particular day. It was a good week/weekend though. The longest trip this truck has driven 1 way was to your compound and back, roughly 100 miles each direction and of course, it did fine. Now the larger tires...
