You can't see it unless the hood is up.... I would leave it alone.

Yeah, I got in there and noticed the solenoid was goung to be awfully close to my wrenches, so I dropped the battery cables. The D turbo works great! So much quieter! My co-pilot (11 yr old daughter) approves. I drilled and tapped the manifold for a pyrometer while I was in there.

Correct. The inner race is assembled with the rollers and cage, but it is still an inner race. The outer race is sometimes called a bearing cup, both terms are correct. If the outer race spins, it will ruin the hub quickly. If the inner race spins (more common since it is not a press fit) it...

Good picture of the truck. This has been a static target for recce missions over Eglin for years and years. The cab is pretty rusty, but the rest of the truck could definately be restored. Midnight snatch and grab.......

Oh, just a cautionary note: Disconnect the battery before working on the turbo. You wouldn't want to touch a wrench to the hot post on the solenoid!

I tend to trust MV collectors more than most other people. We seem to be a rather close knit group that maintains contact over the years. Glad you are pleased with your turbo, hope to get mine on this weekend. Looking forward to no whistle! I may take the muffler off after I install the D turbo!

Thanks for the input. I didn't know if the deuce would really see a benefit.

Now that would be a slow truck. Maybe 30 mph?

Flipped hubs Mine had the hubs flipped and 1100R20 singles installed while still in the Army. The rear and front track is the same now.

Here are some pics of an old Honest John launcher. This one has been slowly going back to nature in the edge of the Eglin AFB reservation for the last 20 years or so. 6602 gasser, rebuild tag from Mittelwerke germany in the early '60's. The launch rail assembly and C frame are truly huge on this...

I am not coordinated enough for the hammer/wedge combo. I use a separate wedge and a 4 lb hammer.

My 67 is a Kaiser. I think the AM Generals are late 69 and up?

Some of the new M105 trailers have 22.5 wheels. Personally, I am quite comfortable with split ring wheels. We always got deuce rims for the old Ford dumptrucks I drove in the early eighties. The military wheel used a much heavier lock ring, with deeper engagement onto the wheel center than the...

How do you think this will affect a deuce since it has a lift pump in the tank already? Do you think enough of it to install it on your truck?

I may have to start saving my pennies for the system. Since you are making this entirely "bolt on", there would be no issue taking it back to stock military if you wanted to.

$200 is high for a stripped fuel tank. $50-75 would be all I'd pay, and it would have to be clean and rust free inside.

I wonder if the bottom end of the deuce would hold up to that kind of horsepressure? What are the relative advantages of your kit over the stock turbo? Excluding the gauges, of course.

All i need is the tolerance list, and the bushings. The turbo itself is pretty simple. I will check the static balance and runout.
