    Thanks for brake info

    Thanks! I would not make an offer that is any higher thanthe value of the parts you want, sounds like this one has had a hard life. Is the truck all butchered up? Regards Robert Miller

    5 ton t case issues

    Jeff Do you have the tech manual to troubleshoot the transfer case? If not, I can probably send it to you. I had a few hours to kill the other day at work, so I downloaded about 500 megs of 5 ton manuals. Regards Robert Miller

    DEUCE ABUSE

    I was a foster parent for many years. I would be willing to foster to adopt a deuce. I am sure with some TLC, even a badly abused deuce can become a productive member of society. Maybe we could have a TV show on the Military Chanel, kind of like "Animal Cops" Regards Robert Miller

    Thanks for brake info

    Poppop See how far you can beat the guy down on the deuce. I would be interested in the frame and running gear. We might be able to split the cost of the truck if he will get the price really right. Regards Robert Miller

    Supersingle questions

    M1075 Are the 1100's you have for sale radials? Or are they the old bias plies? Regards Robert Miller

    Supersingle questions

    Years ago, when I was a kid driving dumptrucks, we ran 10x20's on military wheels on the backs of our Ford dumpers. We had about 1" between the tires under 18,000 lb load, and that was as close as we dared run. 11x20's would be close, but as long as you kept the load under 10,000 lbs, you would...

    Supersingle questions

    I like the look of Loghunters truck on supersingles. The 11x20 radials look like they fit the bill nicely. They are not too hard to find, and fitting stock rims is a big plus! Regards To All Robert Miller

    Supersingle questions

    All I was looking through the M35A3 manuals, and they call for 14.50x20 Michelin Radials for the supersingles. I had been under the impression that the deuce used 11x20's for that application. Question: If you choose to run the 14.50x20's, where do you get the wheels? 2nd: Will they fit the...

    gettin the pinion parking brake!

    Just out of curiosity, why is the stock parking brake a problem? The brake on the rear of the tranny was standard on trucks for years. You could take a page from the heavy truck book and use a spring locking brake pancake. You could use it to actuate one of the e-brake calipers that GM used on...

    Batteries and starter got fried, now no power.

    If the starter was smoking, pull it off and tear it down. If the brushes are going, you can replace them and go on. If you keep trying to start it with bad brushes, you can fry the armature. It sounds like the insulation was breaking down around the cable stud on the starter. That is not too...

    Thanks for brake info

    I saw some deuces that looked complete, but don't know if they ran or not on the GLS auction that ended yesterday. They brought $970 to $1750. They had complete doors, tops, windows, etc. Of course, they are farther away than 4 miles. Regards Robert Miller P.S. Where the Heck is Brooklet? I...

    any tips before I tear into my t-case?

    TM 9-2520-246-34-1 is the manual that covers the transmissions and transfer cases. If you want, send me your home e-mail address and I can e-mail you a copy on Saturday (at work, high speed line). Regards to All Robert Miller

    $29,000 Deuce?

    Silly, it is designed so you can keep 2 deuces in the same 1 car garage. The garage with the 20' ceiling, of course. Regards To All Robert Miller

    was "deuce T/C ?s" nowRear Lockout and Axle Design

    Not a bad price for a new, stock item axle. The fact that it is the correct length for the front flange to work also means it would work with a locking hub. Regards To All Robert Miller

    was "deuce T/C ?s" nowRear Lockout and Axle Design

    Spicer You are right, I would have some extra room there. I could put a split collar on the axle shaft to pull it slightly out of the side gear as well, that way I could split the differance between the 2 sets of splines. Hmmmm..... More things to try! Kenny, thanks! let me know when it...

    $29,000 Deuce?

    Come on Kenny, there is always room for another deuce! I wonder if the seller realizes that you could by 8 or 10 trucks for what he is asking for that one? Regards Robert Miller

    was "deuce T/C ?s" nowRear Lockout and Axle Design

    Yeah, a grand is a lot. But, if the truck is what you enjoy driving, then do it! I tell you what: anyone has a deuce they want to give away, I'll take it and get the hubs! It would still make sense to use the axle and the desplined flange in the rear. Quicker and easier than pulling an axle...

    was "deuce T/C ?s" nowRear Lockout and Axle Design

    Damn! That is not a bad price! I was looking at a $250 cutter and a $60 blank. Not to mention about 4 hrs on the old mill. I don't really see how I could beat that price by much, and I couldn't beat the turn around time at all. You would only need 1 axle, there is really no need to unlock both...

    $29,000 Deuce?

    Go look at this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=80765&item=4516601201&rd=1 It is a pole setter? One of the specialty trucks. Maybe, just maybe, a tad overpriced. But, who am I to know? Regards To All Rober Miller
