I appreciate the kind comments from both sides. I've had the truck over a year now and the only change is an addition of a CD player and about 2,000 miles of driving. Of course, the honey do list and a few expenses have limited the budget for stuff we have no real need for so it's still...

The Mack would be a great swap!!! I drive a 5 ton equipped with one on occasion, it's awesome!!!

I got some paperwork on it this past week, it's cousin's showed up!!! Mine's 275, 269 and 277 showed up this week and 275 is on all there paperwork. They were the 3 CUCV firefighter's in Norway in case the need arrived on the airfield during an exercise. They spent most of their early time in...

I'll say fuel system related. My Glowplugs are essentially dead and need replacing very soon. Once it's run for about a 5 minutes, there's enough heat left in the heads that it will start 5 hours later or so about the moment I engage the stater. I have had it shut off after a cold start when...

GM Diesels are not very highly rated RPM wise, 3,600 is where the governor is set on most. I've never blown one up and have been unfairly hard on them most of the time I've had a chance to run one. We're talking HMMWV's with 3 speed trans screaming at the P in MPH at the bottom left of the...

I'm averaging about 11 mpg's by comparing the odometer to the fuel added to a full tank, mostly diesel but I save motor oil from everything in the yard, filter it and pour that in as well. It's probably slightly less due to adding the oil but we're only talking 5 or 6 quarts at a time as I...

I agree that the C seems to spool faster but, it's likely because I can "hear" it spooling at anything above idle which I enjoy. I had a D on the truck, my boost seems pretty much the same between the two and the power is pretty much the same. If we put it on a dyno, we might notice a...

Black smoke on a Deuce is good to a point. Black smoke is fuel that has NOT been used which is ok to a point on a turbo Deuce to get spoolin, completely wasted on a N/A Deuce. If it's still rollin black smoke once the turbo is spooled, you're wasting fuel and working on burning pistons, valves...

Mine has enough to spin like crazy on dirt when hooked to a tree!!! That's when you engage the front axle, spin all 10 a little and then pull down the tree. It runs the 1/4 in about a minute with a trap speed of 50 miles per hour or so, on 11R20's, the fuels turned up, it's got a whistler...

If by "air leaking" from the handbrake, that's normal. It sounds like an elephant sneezing out of the intake pipe right to the left of your head, just behind the cab. Light switch could be a culprit to the lighting issue. Coolant on the passenger floor, possible that the heater core is bad...

A2's are plentiful enough but there are many more NHC 250 powered 900's. A2's are desirable as they are usually newer, have an updated motor that parts are very plentiful for, albeit expensive. The extra 100+ lb ft of torque and the ability to upgrade to much more for cheap are nice. The 6CTA...

militarysteel, If you're being serious then I may offend. Sorry. You can pick up a cherry M818 and M105 trailer, bob the 818, sell the axle and 5th wheel, and drop the bed on fairly easily. 19K is asking a 10K markup which might work on a private sell to someone who doesn't know any better...

TG, yes, if your's clears up when warm, run the heck out of it for a few miles, it'll thank you. I take mine 200 miles away from home once a year to Durhamtown and he always runs better after that trip. More power, smoother. I also take it for a weekly drive to work which is about 40 miles...

Very interesting setup. I believe the issue will be the 2100 rpm governed speed and the 6.72 to 1 axle ratios. I am aware that 4 something axle ratio's are available from O Engineering, albeit, some claim that they are rather weak and best suited for Jeeps and such. Braking is another issue...

If it goes away when warming up, it's likely valve lash adjustment or parts waiting for oil to get to them. The last few knock vids concerning starting in cold weather sound just like every Deuce I've ever been around to include my own. Don't ever buy a CUCV, HMMWV or 6.2 or 6.5 Diesel GM...

oh, the job payed more than I paid for the truck!!!! I drove the truck home so it must not have been too hard on it!!! I've done worse! Pull trees over, pull the stump ball, insanity but a paying job is good! I put a GPS in the window, 65 mph on 11's, Firestone's. Maybe I'll have a good...

Pulling trees down for a buddy by the creek is a good use for a Deuce. Sorry, no pics but the root ball on the trees were bigger than me and the Deuce handled them with relative ease with the front axle engaged.

TNJ has $9.00 battery terminals that you can get for $2.00 at NAPA, possibly same part number. Don't get too wrapped up in that, just know you can find a heater kit NOS for well under half.

I should have added, if you can get ahold of a towbar or if you already have one, you can sell everything but the axles and tires and just tow it to the scrap pile, course the axles could be worth the price you paid for the truck to the rock crawling and mudding community. Most scrappers have...

That turbo is a C or whistler, you should have heard that thing whistling while driving it. The heater fan would work better with a ground wire, mine's grounded to the mount and only has 1 wire going to it. The plate behind the seat is a cab re-enforcement plate, truck may have had a machine...
