    Air Brake Thing is leaking

    If all you need to do is move it, shove a wine cork in the hole (champagne bottle cork worked for me) and duct tape it in. Use LOTS of duct tape. You only need to build about 60-70 psi to release the brakes to move it. It worked for me to move my truck from the back yard up to the garage for...

    Or just put some JB weld or epoxy on the hole in the bottom. Quite a bit cheaper..

    M932 Wiring diagram

    Some of the main wiring is the same as a deuce (light switch for example). There is a wire numbers reference in the deuce stickys... Incase that might help.

    M923A2 Starting issues

    My 923a2 had the same symptoms, power, click but nothing at the starter. I could start it by crossing the terminals at the starter solenoid but not by using the switch. Long story short, I ran a wire directly from the small terminal on the starter up to the start switch and problem solved. So...

    Steering knuckle boot maintenance questions

    I get mine from Boyce Equipment because it takes 2 days for my order to arrive, but any of the normal military parts places should carry them. Word of advice, keep the stock military boots on as log as you can, the replacements (both silicon ad zipper style) are far inferior and DO NOT hold up...

    Steering knuckle boot maintenance questions

    1.) I use RTV to seal the zipper 2.) My knuckle boots have never lasted more than 8 months before rotting out, so I don't even bother with safety wire. 3.) if I recall correctly, the retaining ring keeps the zipper secure.

    M923A2 Spring Brake actuator

    On the top of the emergency brake assembly there is an air actuated arm with a small roller connected to it. When the E-brake is pulled up (engaged) it moves the arm with the roller up, actuating the air brakes. Check this arm and make sure it returns to the down position when the E-brake lever...

    923a2 multi fuel?

    Stick to diesel. It won't hurt to mix a little ATF in the tank from time to time, it helps clean the fuel system and adds a little lubricity.

    Off-road Magazine Article about M109 camper

    Yeah, what I would give to have the ingenuity and craftsmanship like zout and my neighbor! But like you said, it sure is handy having someone across the street that will trade a couple cold ones for some of those creative ideas! :) as you can tell, the article was nothing about my truck. I was...

    Off-road Magazine Article about M109 camper

    No he's here in town, lives right across the street from me. He mainly uses it for hunting and a couple camping trips.. He's got a pretty nice M151 he puts in the 105 to take hunting! It's almost a prefect fit.

    Off-road Magazine Article about M109 camper

    That 109 belongs to my next door neighbor/SS member (oilburner). If you look real hard in the background, me and my deuce are bringing up the rear. :) We had those photos shot last March, on the most terribly windy day you could imagine!! I can attest, he has done an awsome job with the RV...

    Abandoned deuces in Baltimore

    If the city wants them gone then oblige them and make them disappear... Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to. If there is no paper work on them who cares!? Someone go pick them up stick them in the back 40 and enjoy a couple free parts trucks... I'm sure moe than one of us...

    How stuck have you gotten your Deuce PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN

    Not the best I've ever done, but quicksand in the Rio Grande will slow you down for awhile!

    Deuce oil leak??? Where it it coming from?

    Could be the gasket that between the oil filter housing and the block... Had mine go out this summer.

    Who got the deuces at Ft Bliss?

    I bid that REO up to $1,500. That was what the "boss" said my spending limit was.. All three were nice trucks, I checked them out pretty good when I picked up two other deuces I bought there this past summer. Who ever got them got a good deal!!

    Starter relay bypass

    I've got an M35A2 with an LDT 465 that I'm working on for a friend. It's having starter issues. When you push the start button the engine will start, but it makes a grinding sound as it is turning the motor over. Almost like the starter gear is slipping on the flywheel teeth. I checked and made...
