That deuce pintle hitch is about a rugged son of a gun. You'll run out of truck before you run out of hitch. Worry most about getting your lunette to stick to the trailer. Brakes? This is a custom thing after all, I'll bet you a dollar that there's at least a couple running around in off...

Step that back to 45 or 48, you'll probably be at nine..... Take your 80/20's and make them 20/80's, keep it under 50, and I'll bet you end up where you want to be. I'm not bobbed, ten tires, all the rears are driving, the fan is stock, and I'm in the mid nines as long as I don't drive in...

The TMs list an NSN for both of those trucks either with or without a winch. The M185 appears to be a specialty version of the 109, which appears more general in it's intended use...

It's the transfer case that's popping out of gear, if I read this right? And it would then be popping out of low? If the transfer case lever hits the floor, then shortening the rod may help. If the transfer case does not hit the floor, or just "kisses" the floor when you slap it down, then...

From that picture you may have, could have, and probably should have a bunch of stuff wrong with that... Grind it down CAREFULLY back to flat, use a brand new gasket, and I'd bet it'll be fine. If not, all the bolts have already been loosened one way or another, you'll have fresh never seize...

I don't know this winch at all, beyond very generic gathered information... A couple of things to ponder however- I doubt the winch weighs what the winch cable is going to. how much is that? I dunno, but you should. The data tag will show empty and max weights. Prolly there's enough to...

Wait, I thought the stock A2 beds were reused? Is that an add on (cut out and add on) or were new replacements spec'ed that way at some point?

The first thing I would be doing is removing the vent from the master and the booster. I wonder (because I don't know) how long it takes to "blow out" all the brake fluid settled in the bottom of that common vent... That would also give conclusive proof if it was exiting from the booster vent...

Yeah, that "crack" when a rusty one comes loose doesn't travel through the geared wrench anywhere near like it does through a cheater pipe... Much better for my general attitude by the time the last nut comes loose...

Boy, that's not a good color of smoke... Sounds like a dead miss from here. You've got atomized but unburnt diesel fuel, and you've got hot but unburnt oil... In the third video about 25 to 30 seconds in, see the "puff" that kind of associates with the engine's miss? For reference, that's a...

They might be heat treated... When I put ten new tires on my forty year old truck, I checked, and the bars are quite stout.

I believe that just like the fixed side A3, they simply reused the dropside bed from the dropside A2C? If so, lemme know I'll scruitinize my my A2C for any measurement you need, but the deck surface to the rail surface is 14 inches, same as a fixed side. Only the tailgate is taller on the...

The small bar is 3/4 inch round bar, 21 inches in length. The large bar is 1-1/8 inch DOM tube with a .175 inch wall, kind of beat up though, might be 3/16... Anyhow, it's 36 inches in length. The large bar is the reaction member to steady the center gear in the absence of a bud cap.

It's not really bogus. BFS is not DOT 5 brake fluid. MSDS sheets can confirm this. They are close, but BFS does not fit the bill and could never be sold as DOT 5. The purple dye is for federal safety standards, so Joe Public doesn't mis-identify it and add it to the wrong system. The army...

I've owned two deuce and a half's in my life, they were both set up this way. (I was aware of this going in, so no big deal...) Oil pressure for these trucks is all over the map, and "typical" is way more than double the "minimum". Parts are available for both, BUT... If you just always...

No, not "marketing hype" really. Application error. The multifuel engine was an old tired wore out slobbering pig by the time those standards were invented. In fact, "heavy duty coolant" did not exist. An engine had to be built robust enough to not cavitate in the first place, or it did not...

Deuces require good old american green coolant. Actually, what I read most recently is 50/50 ethelyne glycol and water (permenant antifreeze, as opposed to when it had to be changed every season...) and with a can of corrosion inhibitor to keep the rust out. American green low silicate...

I have a two plus year old schedule 40 reservoir. No signs of issues as of yet. Pipe thread taps worked just fine for leak proof fluid connections. I have one STRONG suggestion. I wanted three things. I wanted an extra half of a gallon of fluid to pump through the system to get "that one...

Three months is nothing, Key goes to the right... If it's lost it's prime, or otherwise won't start, standard diagnostics and solutions will apply. That would be the best place to put your worries. Specifically, the rest of the truck's life before the three months. It's not high...

It would seem to me that two of the cheapest junk, used, core, mismatched, outdated, or otherwise useless (and inexpensive to free) batteries you could come up with should alleviate any issues here. That would not make up for the slave starting, yet it would give the alternator something to...
