Check your adjustment on both ends, make sure you have enough "looseness". And has been said above, maby it is time to replace the spring on the business end under the truck.

Check with Alex at IdahoMotorPool, he has some good used relays for alot less then the cost of a new one. I suspect that either your starter relay is starting to go south, or the starter solenoid. And if both of them are new and good, then the starter could be starting to go downhill. In past...

Nice job acrane! The government sent many trucks from different makers like Federal, Republic, Packard, Denby, Ford etc over seas during WWI. They fell under a generic name of Liberty trucks. There was a 1917 WWI Federal about 6-8 months ago on EbayMotors in Texas that sold for $5,000 and it was...

Each member could adjust his tally as he buys and sells, and the computer could keep tabs on the updates and the changing data base. (I guess it could, I am a technological illiterate so I am speaking off the cuff)

It's been covered but the brakes just probably need bled. The light switch is easy to figure out, hold the bottom right switch in the up position (it's spring loaded) while you push the top lever to the right (clockwise) two notches, that should turn on your headlights and taillights on. The...

DDoyle said it all, almost! Sometimes folks think that because they have something that is relatively "rare", that makes it worth alot of money. But rare really does not always equate value, unless it is somthing that alot of people want, and have alot of money to spend for it. Such as ie: some...

Batteries are nasty little hand grenades just waiting to blow if mishandled. I know, I had a battery blow up in a high school auto shop class when I taught high school. There fore I am very careful about "doing things by the book" and leaving myself a big margin of safety. I have seen other...

Or you can add a HO under the seat surplus heater.

On mid-80's to mid-90's pickup diesels, white with lack of power meant a clogged fuel filter.

Welcome- your English is pretty good. I don't even know any French words! You can always dream of finding a nice military vehicle, good luck in your search!!

Old time truckers I know always run a quart of auto trans fluid with every 50 gallons of diesel to lube the IP. This is especially true with the lower lube qualities of low sulphur modern diesel and the need for good lube in the fuel for the older engine IPs. Something sticks in the back of my...

Try Alex at www.idahomotorpool.com over here in West Idaho. He has lots of stuff for sale.

Get a hold of Alex at www.idahomotorpool.com and I'll bet he has a lead of some kind for you. On his website, he has a big tank of some kind that runs, and seems to know where stuff is out here on the west coast.

As for dependable, I have a couple of friends here in the Pacific Northwest who made alot of money in the past few years doing Forest Fire fighting with a small fleet of deuces. Of course both were mechanically inclined, and could work on thier own trucks and keep them well maintained, but in...

I spent several years of my childhood growing up in Enterprise, about 5 miles or so from Abilene. Used to love to drive by Ft Riley (Custer's old miltary base), and watch the Cobra choppers flying around, they have a great military museum there too. I wish it was not so far back there, I'd love...

When you get the heads off again, be sure and take pictures of what you find and post them so the rest of us can see what happened and what you find wrong. Thanks!

Gentleman, gentleman, lets not get our jockeys in a twisted knot, it seems some of us have a bit to much testostoren (can't seem to spell it right) for the season of good cheer! The owners should put it on EbayMotors under military vehicles and see what it gets bid up too. EbayMotors has a...

Due to the fact that there are many more auctions, auction sites and much much more inventory in the eastern half of the country then in the west, trucks back in the mid-west and eastern part of the country should sell for much less then out here in the west, due to the simple economics of...

Carefull, or the deuce fairy will bring you coal clinkers for Christmas!

Jumping off of a 12volt system could work in certain limited circumstances. Such as- the deuce batteries are low, but not totally dead. Or the temp is not too cold and the deuce batteries are in poor shape but with some charge left in them, etc. But if they are totally dead, and the temp is low...
