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
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.
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.

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....

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!!
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 :))
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.
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.
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.

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.
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 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
Hi Chris what county in NC is the truck in?. I live in Raleigh, NC you mentioned it was located in NC. Interested in this old 2 1/2 ton Army truck. OH what year is it. Thanks Mr. Fix-All Tom
those will leak air out rapidly as soon as you start to loosen the split rim bolts and as you see, there's a good inch or more thread sticking out past the back side of nuts. so, very minimal chance of it blowing apart and killing anyone. now the old "split ring" style are a death trap, the ring on those goes between the tire bead and the smaller diameter rim "locking" it on loosely. if you mess up on one of those or the ring loses hold of the rim, KA-BOOM you get split ring, the tire, tube and other debris blown into you
Don't do that if you are gonna sell it! Man the new owner is gonna hate you ..... and the mechanic who finally has to fix that! 🤣 Man can work a excavator, but pouring into a syringe ..... not so much! 🤣
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
How much for that truck, ??? I’m looking for some tires and wheels like that, I have a 6x6 too, mine is 1942 International military 10 wheeler, and I’m going to be turning into a 3x3 three on one side and three on to other side ,that’s for those of you that don’t under stand the numerical verbiage that they put on trucks, lolo thanks Chris, let’s dig 18 thanks BigAl California.
A lot of people like that old military stuff. Trucks guns clothing etc.I worked on those things for 6 years and I'm not a fan. The thing to remember is that anything military, the contract went to the lowest bidder.
great video Chris.just out of curiosity how close do you live to fort Bragg NC? my brother was in the military and that's where he lives now.stay safe out there and take care of yourself Bud.✌️🇺🇸✌️🇺🇸🚛🚛
I don't know how old that one is but I know that the tires are probably its weakest point. Keep air in them and your fair to midland good. They made the automatics and they are just as tough. I did see one with the automatic out but those kids did really wail on it. Too much money and they were out of control but the parents just threw more money at them. Uncle Sam came along and swooped them up... I'm almost sure at the prompting of the public. Two of the three came home and I am just not sure what happened or if the other is deceased just that he never came back and they were not the kind to have a conversation with. I do know that the parents were so disrespected that they had to move at a loss of revenue to this one horse town and its only service station. Meaner than owl dumping's. I left shortly and never caught up with them but coming back through that town seen that the town had purchased the truck. They used for all sorts of stuff. That tailgate is a number to get used to. I seen one they used for getting wood out of the woods and it had ten foot side racks, it would hit low wires on the highway. It just never stopped and it was major expensive to repair, I seen times that truck would of been a blessing in the islands in the southeast alaska. I couldn't afford to ever get one and people who had them usually took a loss when selling as they are good but only certain things. I have even seen them on highways as a daily hauler .... strange rig's
its leaking from the split rim, there is a rubber seal between the two halfs. its about a 30 min job with an impact.

Spent more than a few hours in one while sitting on sandbags, listing to that turbo warble.
Is the truck still available?
Valve core remover. Had to pause for that!
Is it off road or can it be played for road use.???
I thought you were getting a new machine, at least that's what you said in your video the last week of May.
probably a rim leak, dish detergent and water, you'll find the leak fast
Rim leak, or where the valve stem "seals" against the rim....
Rust on the rim would require sanding the pits down. 2 Piece wheel, but not a bead lock?
M Hamma yeah I was wondering how many people would take the rim apart when trying to remove the wheel !
Well if someone was dumb enough to do such a thing, I'm willing to bet if they're still around they probably won't go near a standard car wheel today.
those will leak air out rapidly as soon as you start to loosen the split rim bolts and as you see, there's a good inch or more thread sticking out past the back side of nuts.
so, very minimal chance of it blowing apart and killing anyone. now the old "split ring" style are a death trap, the ring on those goes between the tire bead and the smaller diameter rim "locking" it on loosely. if you mess up on one of those or the ring loses hold of the rim, KA-BOOM you get split ring, the tire, tube and other debris blown into you
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
Don't do that if you are gonna sell it! Man the new owner is gonna hate you ..... and the mechanic who finally has to fix that! 🤣
Man can work a excavator, but pouring into a syringe ..... not so much! 🤣
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
Not sure what Cummins engine is in it but the engine is probably worth the $7,500.00!
I thought that military trucks had built in air compressors so that you could inflate on the run.
Price on the truck?
You need to par a bucket of soapy water on the tire and it will show up a leak on the tire
Damn, that dump bed tilts almost straight up. Nothin' would stick in that bed.
I think those have a 56deg dump angle. Must dump trailers only have a 40-45 degree.
How much for that truck, ??? I’m looking for some tires and wheels like that, I have a 6x6 too, mine is 1942 International military 10 wheeler, and I’m going to be turning into a 3x3 three on one side and three on to other side ,that’s for those of you that don’t under stand the numerical verbiage that they put on trucks, lolo thanks Chris, let’s dig 18 thanks BigAl California.
Do you need a CDL to drive that truck?
Inquiring minds want to know, did that stuff stop the tire from leaking again?
I hope you found someone qualified to fix that spot where you ran off the driveway.
Did anyone else notice it started to roll backwards before he started the engine when he was going to dump the mulch?
That stuff also works good if you have the runs...
Your voice sounds just like Randy Quaid!✌🏼
Top notch videos btw!👌🏼
I would not be surprised if Andrew Cameratta buys this
A lot of people like that old military stuff. Trucks guns clothing etc.I worked on those things for 6 years and I'm not a fan. The thing to remember is that anything military, the contract went to the lowest bidder.
great video Chris.just out of curiosity how close do you live to fort Bragg NC? my brother was in the military and that's where he lives now.stay safe out there and take care of yourself Bud.✌️🇺🇸✌️🇺🇸🚛🚛
hour
letsdig18 cool
Are they your pigs, what animals do you have?
How many miles/ hours does it have?
FishFind3000 at 8:08 it appears to have 18,730.1 miles on it. Can’t see the tach hr reading though.
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.
I don't know how old that one is but I know that the tires are probably its weakest point. Keep air in them and your fair to midland good. They made the automatics and they are just as tough. I did see one with the automatic out but those kids did really wail on it. Too much money and they were out of control but the parents just threw more money at them. Uncle Sam came along and swooped them up... I'm almost sure at the prompting of the public. Two of the three came home and I am just not sure what happened or if the other is deceased just that he never came back and they were not the kind to have a conversation with. I do know that the parents were so disrespected that they had to move at a loss of revenue to this one horse town and its only service station. Meaner than owl dumping's. I left shortly and never caught up with them but coming back through that town seen that the town had purchased the truck. They used for all sorts of stuff. That tailgate is a number to get used to. I seen one they used for getting wood out of the woods and it had ten foot side racks, it would hit low wires on the highway. It just never stopped and it was major expensive to repair, I seen times that truck would of been a blessing in the islands in the southeast alaska. I couldn't afford to ever get one and people who had them usually took a loss when selling as they are good but only certain things. I have even seen them on highways as a daily hauler .... strange rig's
I'd have thought that would be worth more than 7500. It's gotta be worth at least that much as scrap.
What about putting a tube In the tire wouldn’t that be cheaper
Is it still for sale
A bad design? I think you meant to say 'it's a pour design'
Hahahaha MrJcdriskill
do you pour a design like you pour water?
