With the air shift transfer case, I suggest to engage while the wheels are not turning. Disengaging while moving is safe. It is like many things -if it is not your truck, if it is fixed by the motor pool at someone else's expense, the truck "can do" a lot of things. When it is your truck that...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/fuel-density-compensator.23560/ You will see that post #7 addresses it. Your idea seems to be workable. Further down are even some pictures.

Not sure what you refer to as "bottom nut". The canister housing has an interior threaded sleeve that is attached to the bottom of the canister, for the top bolt to grab and pull the canister up into the sealing o ring. Your canister seems to have been welded up at the bottom at some point...

Time for those little airbags that semi truck cabs use? Hitherto unknown luxury ensues! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Aftermarket (New Star) wheel seals can cause the hub to run hotter. Before ripping it apart again, back off the nut another quarter turn, feel wheel play and give it another shot. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

You are gaining a ton of extra room there up front. Is that a stock tandem axle chassis or lengthened? Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

I agree with your thinking. Starter solenoid sticking or starter sticking on are my top contenders. The good news, your Deuce is now a Hybrid with the starter motor powering it down the highway. The bad news is that your switch melts and your truck eventually catches fire. I am not considering...

Whenever you buy a truck that you can flip for scrap for more money than you paid, it is automatically a win! And, from the pictures, this truck looks half decent. At some point, someone cared for it. It is mufflered and the marker lights on the bumper corner are military (although not in an...

Can you hit the rivet with a punch to seat it better? I don't think it should spin. That would allow the fuse to dislodge or fall out.

I see that you have no bites. Heave you seen this: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m35a2-465-psb6a-injection-pump-timing.162268/

There does not seem to be much in the way of rebuildable components for the in-tank fuel pump: https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/questions-about-the-deuce-fuel-system.81984/page-2#post-1047701 What some members have done is to replace the in-tank pump with a 24V external in line pump and that...

I think your title of "Electric windshield wiper install" is actually "How we took a crappy Military electric wiper kit and expertly modified it into something that actually works, installs well and looks much cleaner". No shortage of effort went into that! Good job.

Methinks the copper washers are just a tad too wide in their OD. They go into the bore but don't seat. Maybe take a little off around the edge? You seem to have done a ton of good work! I refreshed my LDS, so I know the frustration when things get weird! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk
