thank you very much, exactly what I was looking for. Sorry to have wasted posting space.
This does seem like it is mostly a fluids list. I was hoping for parts, like what to do if the brake line breaks and what the best parts are to carry to fix it.
I have seen posts on here before about what to take in your deuce on a long road trip. I have used advanced search and can't seem to find any of them. I guess I just don't know what to search for. In any case I would like to know what parts would be good to keep costs down when taking my m109...
Update on this. Turns out the sound wasn't coming from the starter after all, the clicking sound was coming from that general part of the engine bay though. the clicking was coming from the horn relay, the horn appears to have shorted. Anyone have thoughts on how/why those typically would...
Thanks for asking. I went ahead and did the hammer tapping on the starter and solenoid. Didn't help. I think I can safely say it isn't a solenoid. I did some closer listening on the connection of the negative cable and it is clicking like a relay I think. so either I have a bad relay or a...
So I helped a friend the other day pull a tahoe out of a pit in the snow at night. I had to pull it out up hill on an ice road. ended up putting chains on the Deuce to finally get that SUV out. Things seemed fine after about 2 hours of low gear spinning tires weaving back and forth. Probably...
That looks good, what do they cost? I didn't clearly state one part of my goal, I need to be able to pump vegy oil and motor oil through it and would like to have a constant feed for up to 1000 gallons. Will these 24 volt motors be able to do this?
My limited knowledge made me think this was going to be a pain to deal with electrically, 24v to 12v to inverter 120v. I think the power steering or 24 volt pump solutions are awesome. What is the best way to get my hands on one of these 24 volt pumps? Are they capable of 15GPM?
Hey Everyone,
I am trying to figure out the best way to do this. I want to install a pump on my deuce that can transfer oil at a rate of 15+ GPM. I don't want to use any gas engines or electricity. My initial thoughts are using one of the alternator add-ons for adding 12v to the deuce but...
So, I finally got around to removing the pump. Looks like I have a hose clamp on the inside that is preventing me from pulling it out. I can't imagine how they got the thing in there with this hose clamp. it seems to be on the large line out and won't allow the pump to come out even if I lean...
I have a plan for my m1009 to make it more off road worthy and I would like to get advice before I get started.
My plan is
1. Change to m1008 axles 2500.00, purchased from parts truck.
2. Change to hummer bead-locks with 37" tires 500-1000.00? Considering diy4x.com or militaryoffroadtires.net...
Yep, looks like the "in fuel tank pump", it is getting worse now. It has become a sort of screech now. I have verified that it makes no noise with the fuse removed and makes a loud screech with the fuse installed. I was also surprised to find a jumper wire wrapped around the fuse bypassing it...
From what I can tell it only happens when the fuel tank is about 3/4 full or less and it is the in tank pump. anyone heard of this before? what is the procedure like to replace it? Is there a good source other than the usual suspects? I do have boyce equipment not to far away.
I took the M35A2 on a nice off roading/camping trip last week. The Kids and my sister were impressed.
Anyhow, on the way home, I noticed that the truck seemed to have a whine to it not from the engine itself. Seems to be a whine when the electrical switch is activated, I am wondering if a...
How familiar are you with the 28 volt design? You know the alternators are isolated ground, right?
Are you getting voltage to the firewall brackets?
When facing the truck with the hood open, on the left behind the batteries there is the 24/28 volt bracket and the ground bracket below it. On...
