After a little over a month of down time my bobbed Deuce is running again. We just got the trans put back in today. The input bearing failed while I was trying to get to my buddies cabin in about 3 ft of snow. Man it feels good to drive it again. Now she's ready for San Diego traffic. I am...

Today I went and drove through a bunch of snow trying to get to my buddies cabin staying in1st, 2nd and 3rd all day. I used the winch a few times. About half wayback down the mountain the trans started to sound a bit off in 3rd. So when I got off the mountain I checked the oil level it was a bit...

I have almost completed my Deuce. It is done enough to now be my daily driver since my other trucks are either broken or undergoing an eng swap. There are alot of people that have made it possible to get to this point. John Fisher, Jess "high Angle Driveline" , Mark "100dollarman" , Chuck, Walt...

I just won this today and am curious about it. I assume it is a troop carrier mod. Are the sides and troop seats easily removable? I can't wait to pick it up.

I finally got around to changing my oil today. I went with 30 wt synthetic oil. Now I can hear alot more noises from my eng. Nothing really loud just alot more taps and stuff. The pressure sits at 30 when warm and about 60 when cold. It is at the right level. Is this normal when switching to...

I have a couple of left over M105 trailer axles from previous projects. I have a 1969 Zeiman trailer with a bent axle. I would like to use the M105 axles to replace the Zeiman axles. Do ya'll think the hub extension on the M105 can be redrilled to an 8 lug pattern. The width is almost right...

A few weeks ago I posted about putting an Allison RDS2500 6 spd in my Deuce, the general concensus was that the LDT didn't pack enough power to make it worth while. I already have the Allison with the SAE3 bell housing. So I went back to the drawing board and got a Cummins 6BT 5.9 ltr from a...

I have a 40 Gallon tank from a Dodge tug I am stripping down. I want to install it in the bed of my bobbed deuce as an aux tank. Has anyone put a second tank in a deuce and if so what am I getting myself into as far as plumbing goes. Thanks.

Harbor Freight has blue and red 12 LED strips for 8 bucks. They say 12Volt on them. I was under the impresion that LED's could work 12 or 24 volt. Does anyone know if they will work in the Deuce. Thanks.

My M35a2 has truck light front LED signals and rear standard signals. I noticed that my front rh signal isn't working so I put another one on and still nothing. The lh works correctly. Any ideas where to start. I have good ground. Thanks.

On the way home today from the hanger whereI get most of my big projects done the Gerbil fell off the wheel in sheer extacy. I could hear myself think, and my butt was planted in a comfortable seat. So here's what we got done today. There is now a 4" Magnaflow exhaust on the stack, and a Ford...

I have the chance to pick up a 1988 F700 with 12,000 original miles on the od for way cheap. It has a turbo about the size of my deuces whistler. What I am wondering is once I figure out if I have a 6.6 or 7.8 is it a decent a swap. It has a 5 speed hooked to it already. And can I use the power...

Here are a couple of pictures of the winch bumper I am building for the Blazer. It came out pretty good. It's 3/16 steel plate for the base and front plate. The tubing is SC40 1 1/2 pipe and the frame mounts are 2X4 1/4 wall rectangle tube. It's not done yet but close.

I have just removed the ambulance back off of a deuce with a deisel burning heater on it. Has anyone made a mount and mounted this under the hood of a deuce to have heat in the cab. And if so how hard is it. Thanks. I have the complete heater with it's own fuel pump and all the fuel lines. Thanks.

I took the deuce up the Tehachapi mountains today with a few friends to bust through the snow and get some firewood. We pulled out 4 truck loads of downed trees and had a blast. I had to bust the trail though the snow and winch a few times. Its a good thing I just put the winch on. On the way...

I finally got around to installing my winch today. It actualy went pretty easy. I need it for Sat I'm going to play in the snow and pick up a few down trees for fire wood. I even used the air fittings to run a cut off wheel to prep the cable to put into the swedge fitting. How much oil should...

Okay here goes. I have two prototype Allison trannies that are the Cummins circle bolt pattern. These things will hold up to 33,000 lbs in tow and up to 800 lb ft of tq. What I want to know is. Is there a way to hook this tranny up to the stock LDT465. Thanks.

Okay I am about to stick my foot in it but anyway. I have a valve that is tapping I need to adjust it but I don't know which TM it is. I thought I downloaded them all and printed them. I was wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks.
