    LED replacement no flashing

    Thanks for the reminder that testing a device with a known power source can save a lot of time and money. This symptom had me going. I don’t know if I would have thought to remove the lights and simply connect them to the battery to see if they were the cause. Well done! the other thing I am...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I had that problem some years ago. I took the fuel shut off solenoid apart and cleaned it. A speck of dirt will cause them to stick open. Once it was cleaned, it’s been working fine. While I was having that problem I got tired of opening the hood to reset the manual shut off. I installed a...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Getting ready for the Jefferson Highway Convoy in October. Painted the exterior, installed AC in the cab, re-worked the generator fuel system, still on the “to do list”: replace stereo speakers in the cab, stencils, oil change and other misc. maintenance stuff.

    FL Insurance policies

    I’m paying around $1,200.00 per year for full coverage on my M934 and M151. So it’s about $50.00 per month, per vehicle.

    Steel Soldiers, users age

    My driver’s license says I’m 72, however, when I turned 50 I decided to stop getting older… I just didn’t see a future in it.

    1986 M923 intermittent no-start condition

    Hi guys, I'm not hijacking this thread, but I have a similar problem with a friends M934 (1987 with ABS). This truck has demons in it! The original symptom was, when we turn the battery switch to on, the starter starts cranking (run, start switch is off). Also no gauges or lights. After...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    I had this problem on my 934. It kept loos prime. I installed an electric fuel pump right at the tank to push fuel through the system. After I turned the pump on I found a line on the fuel pump with a hire-line crack. I replaced the plastic line with copper tubing… It now holds a prime for...

    Transportation needed for 5 ton truck

    When I drove mine home I had three good friends and a chase truck pulling a Uhaul trailer stuffed with tool and fluids. Faith played a roll but planning didn’t hurt!

    Behr paint tips and process

    Hey Fuzzy, do you have the mix code for the paint in this picture? I want to give my M934 a fresh coat. I intend to rent a sprayer in stead of buying one. You can rent a professional grade unit for what you pay for a crappy one from China.

    I’ll be there. The guy I share space with just made a big buy from an estate. We’ll be bringing as much stuff as we can load out. Possibly a pallet or two of ammo cans, a mule and a 151A2. We’re on the outside between the roads near the restrooms.

    Slow Down an M37

    You can run at idle in first gear, low range and it will go about as fast as you walk. I used mine In parades and just let it crawl. I rarely had to adjust my speed. If the parade stoped, I Just pushed in the clutch. When the parade resumed, I just let out the clutch. I never had give it any gas...
