    Clutch and Bellhousing needed for a 5.9 Install

    I still have the multi in mine, but I will be keeping track of this post to see if it can 'bolt' in.

    5 Tons under a deuce

    I run the 53" xzl's on my bobbed Deuce with 8" of lift and a moly locker in the rear from Randy. I still have the stock multifuel in it and haven't had any problems with anything breaking. I put it through some serious test in the mud with no problems. All of the shafts are 100% stock. I don't...

    5.9L Cummins for a Deuce

    Wow, engine and trans is a running truck. Sounds like the perfect canadate for a Deuce repower. No missing parts and the questions of what is that supposed to go to?

    Steve sold his truck a couple of months ago.

    How long have you had your Deuce???

    Offroadfab- I haven't had a lot of time to do much on it lately with a lot of time spent at work and playing with the Deuce, but plans in the near future will be getting a lot done on it. Hopefully this fall and winter will see it getting really close to completion.

    No stopping!!

    I agree 100% that a split system would be the best on these. Also, I think that I am going to order 2 new tanks from Saturnsurplus just to be on the safe side. Every tank that I have found used has the same wear marks where the straps hold them onto the truck and some have holes in them also. I...

    Going through Water...

    The ball valve that I installed into the clutch housing is up there a pretty good amount. I also have 53" tires and that helps. But the axle is a lot lower than the valve also. I just got some fittings and a brass ball valve from Lowes and screwed them in. Just reach under there and close the...

    Brazed rocker

    It sure looks to me like it would restrict the oil flow also.

    paulopinto- are you the guy that my cousin David sent the west coast mirrors to in Brazil?

    Two airhorns....

    I mounted a horn in place of the origional that is much larger and it will scare me when I push the button. Overall it is about 30" long and is extremely loud. Might be easier than mounting duals.

    The hole is on the side where the edge of the bracket meets the tank. A friend with a couple of parts trucks pulled two sets of tanks out last night and all of them had the same wear points and one even had a hole in it also. Maybe this is an issue that more people have and are not aware of.

    It is actually a pin hole where a bracket has rubbed a hole in it from the outside. I don't think that it is corroded from the inside at all. (or at least no more than any normal air tank) Does everyone agree that it would be O.K. to fix this and not have a ticking time bomb on my hands or am I...

    Recovery Mission Tomorrow

    I vote for OD also. The gloss black looks good, but I just prefer green.

    How long have you had your Deuce???

    Got mine in Jan of this year. Wanted one since I was in the Army, finally broke down and did it.

    Parking Brake

    Maybe you painted it shut. :shock: just kidding, nice looking truck. You will probably have to take the cable off and lube or replace it and lube all of the points on the parking brake assembly and make sure that they are free. I just went through all of this on mine yesterday. It took a little...

    No stopping!!

    "Thanks for the link. That's what I thought. The leak is in the inboard tank, so after I repair it, if it blows out, I will still have air to the brakes. Not that I think that my repair will be shabby, but you never know.

    No stopping!!

    I believe that the system has a valve in it so if one tank leaks down the other still has pressure. Try draining one tank first completely, then drain the other. I may be wrong, and I'm sure that I will be corrected if I am. Anyway, I was just thinking that if I repair the tank it would...

    No stopping!!

    Figured out the problem and fixed it today. A steel fluid line burst over the air tanks going to the rear brakes. Took out the old line and replaced it, bled the brakes and everything works fine. Did notice that the air that I heard comming from the underside is a small pinhole in one of the air...

    New member with new to me M35A2 W/W

    The 'keypad' is a light switch. It is a direct replacement for the 'toggle' style switch. You just unbolt the old switch and unscrew the plug, then screw in the plug on the newer style and bolt in place. Presto, nice upgrade to the light switch. I put one in mine with no issues. A 5 min...
