I'm new to military trucks, had old pick ups for years. My fuel pedal sticks at where it's pushed down to. I can pull it back up by hand. I have sprayed WD40 on the bottom of it where it's attached and pivots, hasn't helped. So before I screw up something, anybody else had same problem? Solutions? Thanks for the help in advance.

Are the return springs in place ?

And update you location with a state .

I've never had much luck fixing that without completly removing the pin to clean everything up.

I tightened up my return spring, and lubed the bellcrank mechanism on the engine side of the firewall. Been fine since.

My Deuce pedal is doing the same thing, I can lift the pedal up and the idle will drop. Sounds like I need to pull it apart and clean it up.

I guess you missed this in Porky's previous post.
The specific model of 5-Ton will yield for you better answers.
Some folks probably haven't replied for lack of specifics.
Correcting your profile location is a SS Website RULE.... Please update it.
Thank you.
