@@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"
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.
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 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...
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 :))
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

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.
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! 🤣

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.

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.
Maybe ,at 130 a gal., they could make a jug with the pump built into it. A 4 ft hose and an indicator for level of liquid.
Need to set it up like an IV to full the tire.

Any Idea How Many Miles On The Truck Motor & Trans...
aah the memories of driving the old duce and a half with the turbo screaming like a jet fighter taking off and that Horn, sweet nostalgic memories.
That 's a 5 TON
Spent more than a few hours in one while sitting on sandbags, listing to that turbo warble.
Not a bad design just operator error
I’d love to own that truck.
Chris, that was actually the valve stem core you removed. Just for future reference. Enjoy all your videos man. Keep them comin
Probably an innertub in the tire rusted through from rim rot
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.
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! 🤣
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
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?
Is there a seal between the rim sections?
You need to par a bucket of soapy water on the tire and it will show up a leak on the tire
Bucket tripod for the win 👍
I thought that military trucks had built in air compressors so that you could inflate on the run.
Where are you located and is it still available
