ACE, you never answered the other thread. Did you use spellcheck in your signature? (Energised?)

I was at CMS last yr when they were in bussiness. They were repowering 5Ton trucks with cummins engines for israel. I suspect this is a kit to do the same to the deuce.

I was told that they had a kit for the deuce as I asked them exactly that when I was there asking them about the 5ton repower.

Here is how the conversation went. Hey thats a nice upgrade for that 5ton. That would be nice fror the deuce. Well we do that too. thats why they had so many deuce takout engines sitting all over that place.

Well the buyer backed out, so it is still for sale-$500. It probably would need to be picked up since it's very heavy and in 5 boxes (although DHL quoted $141 to NC). Also included is a partial kit which includes a 2nd set of motor mounts and about 1/4 of the stuff shown in the pictures. I have been told that it was for NG units converting gassers to the 5.9 Cummins. I am still trying to confirm this though.

I dont puit much stock into the NG 5.9 swap out thing, only because I dont think anyone has seen a 5.9 in a Deuce thats gone thru DRMO... Possibly for foriegn use or units that wound up being used in civy businesses after they got surplused out..

Who was CMS? Not to high jack the thread but I remember AM General doing a repower of 800 series 5 tons that must have never made it. It was about the same time as the A3's. The repower was a Cummins M11, auto trans and CTIS/air brake axles.
