I like the double bumpers! Any details on this truck?

It was said I wouldn't be able to measure the difference in fuel mileage if I swapped to single 11.00x20 radials from my stock 9.00x20 NDTs. I don't think that's right. I mean, traveling at 55mph with either set of tires, its going to require less RPM to spin the taller tire, so how does it...

So I want to build an external tire rack onto an M105A2. I need to be able to take 10 9.00x20 wheels with tires with me on a long trip. I think the best places is forward of the box (box will be full and so will the bed), but I dont know much about towing and trailers. I know the deuce can...

this is a test of the 1mc from the pilot house, disregard.

I am probably going to buy a water to air intercooler and add it to my deuce in the next month. I have some training in sea going and industrial diesels, and they call them after coolers and charge air coolers. Whatever you may call them, I want one! I was looking at civy trucks to see if...

What are the angles? I can obviously see the lower "j" part of the pipe is two 90s. What about the bend right before it comes up through the fender and turns into the stack? (45*? 30*?) what about the one that goes into the engine bay? (???) I am thinking about fabricating a larger diameter...

43 days from now I will be on job hunting and terminal leave, separating from 8 years active duty navy. My brother and my best friend are flying up to Seattle and we are going to make an Epic separation road trip. 2200 miles. 7 days. With my corvette in the bed of the deuce and towing an...

Found this yesterday. Do I need to fix it yet? No dripping yet, diff is full still.

I've got some 11.00x20 singles I want to put on. I like the dished look that the duals have. I want to mount my m135 singles just for a 2200 mile trip that's coming up, mainly for the fuel mileage increase. Do I HAVE to flip the hubs? (I've seen both configurations with much debate) Any...

I emailed someone last month, I got a response, but I must have deleted it! I really need that trailer by mid August. I dont know if it was from this site, or somewhere else (craigslist?) I want to trade you (6) 11.00X20 M34 (singles, Wheels and Tires) OR Cash OR both I can pick up the...

Hey folks! I am planning a big trip soon and need some things before the trip. Anyone know where in WA I can find these items at a good price? For the head gasket, I am looking for the newest/best style. I don't know which is which or how to identify the 'good' ones. I've got oil going down...

Well guys, I will officially be done with my Naval Career on Oct 1st. 8 grueling years, have 3 different rates (MOS), 2 Aircraft carriers, 3 Assult landing craft, and 2 hand built JTF specific vessels. I have had enough. Time to finish my mechanical engineering degree. But first I have to get...

I've recently started to use my deuce for a daily driver while my corvette is in the shop getting paint. I havent even had the deuce for a month! Anyways, when I get up to about 40mph, in 4th or 5th gear, I get a high pitched screaming whine that will make your ears ring. It is significantly...

0800 Thursday March 24th, I woke up enjoying the extra time I got to sleep. I got showered and dressed up in my service dress blues to man the rails coming back into homeport Everett WA after a 6 month deployment. 0845, my roommate tells me his duty section was changed last minute and he...

Well folks, Ive been hunting and planing for a deuce for a while now. I finally found one, and couldnt have timed it better! We (USS Abraham Lincoln) just arrived inport, Everett WA. I am so excited to be back home and cant wait to get into my house and on the road to Montana to pick up my...

A careful and relentless search of this forum and other documents on the LDT-465 have resulted in one thing, do not go faster than 2650 rpm or you'll throw a rod. I, being the engineer type, ask why? What causes this, and how can we fix it? To figure it out, I applied some numbers to the...
