I watched her roll down the street with her new owner at the wheel...and I have to admit... a tear came to my eye.

I picked up my duece at the El Toro Marine base.....no tags......insurance of course and drove it 285 miles to Las Vegas. Almost all of it on Calif freeways. The cops that drove by me.....to a man......waved or gave the thumbs up.
Go for it.

It was nice and cool this morning so I went and tore the floor back out of the duece, pulled the top of the tranny.....again....determined to find out why I didnt have 2nd or 3rd. I bungeed the throttle stop so the truck wouldnt start and with the starter switch rotated the gears...
OH Yeah I bench tested the shifter forks and detents All worked well. I think its as one of the guys said......that something has gotten loose in the synchro. I tried working the synchro with a small bar back and forth and its too tight to work . The 4th 5th synchro works fine. Once...

I would beg to differ. As a nam vet myself....and i'm sure a few here would agree, that two 50 cal. rounds in such close proximity to each other would make a much bigger hole than whats showing in your picture. Been there done that.
If those holes are from a fired round at all...it is a much...
Its leaking from the electrical connections......i'm guessing the epoxy finally gave out.
Yes Jwaller I would gladly pay you for your used one. I need to get it on the road as our NG contingent from Iraq is on its way home. The 222nd Field Artillery....and my truck is gonna haul a bunch of...
I need a little advice .
I'm guessing the switch on the narrow/front end of the duece airpak is the stoplite switch.
I have had a steady drip from my master cylinder <I thought> and DOT 5 is getting pretty expensive.
Anyway.....I changed my oil today and since I was a greasy mess I checked...
I was the Landscape and Grounds super at UNLV for 18 years. I was responsible for 300 acres of turfgrass everyday. You dont really think i'm gonna be retired and mow grass now do ya ?
My mowing days are over.......she wanted the lawn...she mows it.
