5tons have unrestricted paperwork and do not require any "workaround"

I considered that. But going with just a hose from a jug to the IP leaves just one connection. It has to be the IP. Which is now pulled and being rebuilt. I'll update this when resolved. Thanks

Sadly, no.

You really really want to drive one before you take the plunge. It sounds like you were never in the military and have never been in one. Descriptions don't do it justice. The build priorities on these are completely different than a civvy vehicle. Based on some of your comments in other...

I felt obligated to take pics at Yermo while I was there a coupla weeks ago....

Andy is flying in from Alaska and Michael is driving up from NM and we're all going to pile into my M925 and drive it there from KS. Hoping to have the gunring mounted by then.... Debating whether to load the M998 into the bed...

Pinholes in the rubber lines. They won't leak fuel out, but they'll allow loss of prime.

You don't have thimbles on the back?

I like to use them all the way around on 939series trucks. They make centering the hemtt wheels easier.

I did. It didn't. Thanks for the suggestion.

With the engine drinking clean fuel out of a jug through a newly made 4300psi hose, having bypassed the rest of the fuel system up to that point, still seeing overt and blatant air bubbles in the returned fuel. With the entire fuel system intact, pressurizing the fuel tank doesn't show...

I picked one up recently. No oil in the crankcase. I added oil and a new filter. Results- Oil pressure starts at 25psi and drops to near nothing as soon as the oil starts getting warm. Bogs down as soon as load applied. Rpm drops and so does voltage and oil pressure. I'm thinking bearings...

This correlates with my experience. Thanks for the elaboration.

Looks more like Deep Forest Green than 383 CARC.

Rerouted the fuel line to a clean jug of fuel. Routed the return line to a clean clear jug. Steady stream of air bubbles in the returned fuel, varying in intensity with rpm. @&$&$^@!!!!!

Ok, has to be sucking air where its leaking fuel. Any solution to this short of rebuilding the IP?

LMTV rims fit 939series 5tons. Presumably the reverse is true as well. Since 5ton rims are generally a little more expensive than LMTV rims I havent seen anyone motivated to do so, while the LMTV rims become a cheaper option for the 5ton owner.

As of now everything is new or cleaned from the tank to the IP. All rubber is new.

1984 M923 with NH250. I've seen bunches of them leak fuel here, but I've never had one suck air from this point. Anybody else? History - I drove this truck from IL to NM a couple years ago without incident. The new owner drove it a little bit, ran it out of fuel, dumped old nasty biodiesel...

Lever on the floor next to the driver's seat. Tractors and wreckers and dump trucks have twin tanks :)
