Good job Chris. I also like the comments you make about yourself. It puts a smile on my face. I hope that the ruck goes to a nice home and gets many more years of service. Vancouver, Canada.
I have used that stuff with good success as well. It is very expensive, but watch your email because they sent me a 20% off discount code shortly after my first purchase. So I bought a couple gallons at 20% off. Great vid as always!!
Very cool seeing that truck.. I drove that exact vehicle when I was a combat engineer in the US Army stationed in Eschborn, Germany in the early 80's. Memories!!😁 From what I recall it's a M817 5-ton it has a 250 Cummings.
hey Chris that scissor lift works pretty quick..i had a 99 freightliner and the truck had a 3 stage cylinder pump and i used it for hauling millings off of the interstate and that pump was slow as molasses going up hill in january...that's a good ole work horse of a truck..if i had a use for it i'd give it a new home here in Bama..i gave up landscaping and hard manual labor when i had to have 3 shoulder operations in a span of 18 months..stick to yer guns on that 7500 dollar price tag..being in the south maybe a logger will buy it as a pull out truck or cut the sides down and make it a stake bed for short logs..either way keep doin whatcha do
I believe those came with a LDS 300 turbo charged. The dump bed now works better than AM General had it rigged. The split rim oh boy are they fun to work on if you do wind up taking it apart make sure to make safety precautions put the entire wheel with the tire mounted in a security cage they have a tendency of blowing up. I hope you got it sold Chris.
Exactly should be removed and replaced, especially when it comes to later on as that horrible chemical isn't good for repairing the tyre in the future.
@@warrenjohnknight.9831 Which horrible chemical? I know the company is in the business of making money, but its website says "No harsh chemicals Non-hazardous, Non-corrosive, Non-toxic"
Except that this is not a Deuce,it is a 5 Ton Truck,it's a M817A1,all of the M812-M820 are 5 Tons.The Deuce & A Half,which is the 2 1/2 Ton,is the M35A2-M342A2.
I don't care about any problems it starts right up. It seems to drive good and I love the Army dump trucks the way thay look. I love that truck. To me it's Dirty Harrys 44 mag. yes you did go ahead you made my day.
2 piece rim. O-ring is leaking if you can't find a leak in the tire with soapy water. IIRC it's 210lb-ft on the bolts holding the rims together. Pain in the ass to do, but the only way to properly do it.
We had a deuce when I was stationed at Eglin AFB. Every chance we got we would take it out on one of the ranges and knock down trees with it. Sucked on the hi-way but would go anywhere even where you would get your butt wet while driving it. Had a Kaiser multifuel engine in it.
Have a friend who in the 60+70s owned a patent on a no leak fluid. Used it on my dirt bike tires. Thorns all over pull them out never leak. He finally told me what the main ingredient was. Powdered milk. He sold the rights.
The ole deuce an a halves were a hoot to drive in the army. I almost drove one off in a foxhole in the middle of the Iraqi desert on invasion night charging full speed into the night. If I'd hit that 4 foot hole at 50 mph, I would have been the only guy in the war to flip a deuce an a half end over end. You video of getting stuck indicated the front wheel drive was out. That's why you had to dump that load to get out.
Its been over 51 years since I was in the Army and worked in the motor pool. Is this a tube tire? To my knowledge we didn't have tubeless tires back then.
Thats a bolt together rim. Theres an o-ring in between the 2 peices. Spray soapy water on the rim around the hole for the valve stem and around the ring
That stuff may cause a high speed vibration at around 120 mph or so. 😉 lol (before anyone states the obvious, I know it won't go that fast anyway) They put that drain hole there so you would spill it and have to buy more.
if that truck ever hit 120MPH, the tire balance and vibration would likely be the least of your worries. more concerning would be why the brakes failed and where you'r going to exit the mountain side and stop without dying :))
That type tire is on a 2 piece wheel, there is an o-ring between them and if installed wrong it will leak slowly. If installed extra wrong it will leak quickly. Lol
It's not NEAR as bad or as dangerous to change as the old split rings. Personally, I think these are a piece of cake in comparison and FAR less dangerous. Just use common sense and you're fine. Just cage up a split ring and you're fine too. It's all about common sense....
@@crforfreedom7407 and even when they are in cages those split ring assemblies will scare the absolute crap out of everybody when they go boom. I've seen people also use chains and tie them up but even so, they still jump pretty good if they go. 😬😬😬
@@TheBrushcutter LOL!! It is a pretty loud boom, isn't it... Rattles your chest. You can really feel it as much as hear it, that I think is what freaks people out...
On the "bad design" turn it over so you have the handle on the bottom. Same with a oil container or antifreeze container that way they don't spill all over the engine when putting oil in them.
I love your house and your property how many acres do you have got a beautiful house I like your wrap around porch the color of your house it's a real nice the pond and everything you've done around your yard and your property
Darwin Luker I think in one of the videos they do do a tour or perhaps the one where they tear down their old ingle wide...if you look at his partners channel they are he does a series on cooking and it shows the kitchen
The first fire department I worked on they converted a Aviation fuel truck into tanker truck. That tanker truck was a beast it always started and it would go anywhere and almost nothing would stop it except for the brakes lol. Ours did not have power steering though that was a bitch
I hope it goes to a good home... those old school five speeds were most uncomfortable to shift so a thirteen speed would of cured it and just a small roadworthy trans. A ross power steering box an everyone will want to drive.... that is if you get a real seat although the ones that that truck came with are real good on the bounce... it was just a back killer... One definite thing was no having to tow it out of its own way often. In my honest opinion it has one too many rear axles for that small box to have or make home deliveries on gravel but it will pioneer though a lot. Its too big for small contractors and too small for real earth movers. Was it mine, I might leave as is on axles, transmissions or other but take that box off and put a fifth wheel in that place so that it could move a small lowboy trailer or hydraulic dump trailer that could haul say twelve to forteen yards of waste from a conveyor in a mill. I used one set up like that with not too many hiccups. Its always going to be a little harder to use than the conventional trucks we have been spoiled on. One guy up here used his for mining and it was set up just like yours is. That truck would move load for load on any stuff on the squirrel trails we "called roads". Another guy swapped a old chevy truck cab on his, painted it so pretty that you just wouldn't believe. He had a 750 Holmes wrecker bed on it. That truck was worn to the bone up here on the end of the world highways. Like always Cris, looking good and wishing a great year
Would anyone recommend one of these trucks for a starting out excavation company? Truck, trailer, mini ex? Seem too many videos from other youtubers getting their dump trucks stuck. I'd love Chris' opinion on this.
When the video "fixing the rock trucks leaky tire for good" comes out and its you sitting on a 55 gallon drum of tireject we'll all know you got the sponsorship.... until then why don't you just put a plug in it😂😂😂😂
That would be fun driving around Fort Myers area, then when you can't quite get by someone just hit them. The rim probably has a bad O ring in split rim
An old army truck always looks impressive on the driveway. But can it take much load, and is it practical for truck jobs. But good at the home farm i guess.
There’s an o-ring in the wheel, between the two halves. Usually water gets in that area and rusts the metal an the o-ring leaks. ThoseMilitaryGuys and a few others have the replacements for sale. All you had to do was undo the outter nuts, separate the wheel halves, clean the rust, and replace the the o-ring. I feel sorry for the guy that has to do that now that you put that crap in there.
The place I work has two Five tons one just like this one, the other is a tractor that they use to move the Crusher around the pit. I've had 13 yards of crushed rock on the Dump a couple of times... The truck will handle more than the box can. Those wedge-lock brakes are sketchy much of the time... I have no idea why they didn't go with the cam-lock brakes!
Good job Chris. I also like the comments you make about yourself. It puts a smile on my face. I hope that the ruck goes to a nice home and gets many more years of service.
Vancouver, Canada.
It looks like the General works pretty good Chris!!!
Supreme Envy.... Many congrats on your House and property...driving home to that every day after many hours of working would be totally worth it!

Nice truck Chris, I rode in one of those back when I was in the Army in 1971, not on a dump truck, but close enough.
Chris don't worry about what people think you be your self love your videos
hey man after youre first video on the stuff i bought a couple of gallon of the stuff .
1 word
Amazing !
works like u said
You got the bukkake delight haha The hose was kinking when you were putting the plunger in! You paid the price my brother!
Love your beautiful home and all that land you have. Love your army dump truck.

Your voice sounds just like Randy Quaid!✌🏼
Top notch videos btw!👌🏼
Lmao i''ll be honest you're way skinnier than i expected actually shocked me when you hopped up in that truck
its leaking from the split rim, there is a rubber seal between the two halfs. its about a 30 min job with an impact.
Exactly should be removed and replaced, especially when it comes to later on as that horrible chemical isn't good for repairing the tyre in the future.

Great dump truck! It’s badass, I want one! 👍😎🌵
Army Truck fixed very quik Chris, and starting Cummins engine, driving and dumping flaw less 😲💥😲💥👍😎
Those Old Dueces were flat out BEASTS! Like the old commercial used to say, "Take a licking and keeps on ticking".

Great video thanks for sharing! Stay Safe!
beautiful setup out there. peaceful to come home to, :)
Saw OLF use this stuff, so now I bought some and run it in our old tractors works great but is tedious to get in. Beats changing tires though.

Used to work on those in the Military...Dump Trucks not tires but had our share or tires too

Chris, you seem to be better at moving mountains (literally) than dealing with small fiddly things!
That runs so good. I'd keep it fella
Nice lawn place is coming along for you good luck selling truck
That stuff is awesome worth every penny
Beautiful truck! :D

I find this absolutely fascinating.
Inquiring minds want to know, did that stuff stop the tire from leaking again?

Does it have Bluetooth enabled GPS system?
Looks like a beast of a truck! What’s your delivery fee to Missouri lol? Thanks for sharing
This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while!
Great video the army truck it is worth 7500$ keep up the great work
Its been over 51 years since I was in the Army and worked in the motor pool. Is this a tube tire? To my knowledge we didn't have tubeless tires back then.
Is it off road or can it be played for road use.???
Any Idea How Many Miles On The Truck Motor & Trans...
Is there a seal between the rim sections?
Ah the good old split ring rim setup. I have changed so many during my time at the motor pool. Nifty trick to get it inflated.
Thats a bolt together rim. Theres an o-ring in between the 2 peices. Spray soapy water on the rim around the hole for the valve stem and around the ring

Thanks Chris, i would never judge you or anyone and its a nice duce And a half🖒
I dont think it's a deuce .5
Its a 5 ton.
The Deuce & A Half is the M35A2-M342A2,this is a M817A1,and the M812-M820 are all 5 Ton Trucks.This is a completely different Vehicle.
Did you fix the 6x6
On the "bad design" turn it over so you have the handle on the bottom. Same with a oil container or antifreeze container that way they don't spill all over the engine when putting oil in them.
What a beauty, even sounds like the army trucks of old. Hope it goes to a good home! Thanks for the video.
It’s a nice truck - 7500 is a deal in my opinion - good luck
Have you tried submerging it in water to see where it's leaking?
Are those air over hydraulic brakes?
We put pure anti freeze in tires like that, works fine.
I sure like those old trucks
Do you need a CDL to drive that truck?

I never trust them plastic valve core remover. I’ve broke one off in it before and it was a pain to get the pieces back out
onelonleyfarmer uses that all the time he even shot a tire with a shot gun and it fix it ,good stuff good video keep them coming
David Temke came to say this. OLF swims in this junk lol

That stuff also works good if you have the runs...
We have an old fire extinguisher and put antifreeze in it and take an air hose and blow it in the tire.

Man oh man living across the street from lake norman really makes me wish I had the money to flaunt on such a beast just to have for an apocalypse
Valve core remover. Had to pause for that!
Where are you located and is it still available
Military tires have a special valve stem. They commonly leak at the stem. Those are very difficult to find and get.
i have 900-16 36in 8 ply all 5 new compleat tires tubes flaps blasted rims while i had the down no tble finding tires mine is 1953 3/4 ton m37

Onelonelyfarmer did a review of tireject and yes it seals
So is this truck the same sort of thing that DP Mike is building at the moment?
