    m35a3 recovery question

    I used a 45ft triple tandem axle deck over gooseneck trailer to haul my deuce home. If your trailer floor is set between the axles, it won't fit. Also better have at least a 1ton pickup and trailer brakes are in good working order. I pulled mine 300 miles with my 2500 GMC and would not recommend...

    M925 Big tire size, Middle axle bearing seal failure. Need replacement?

    Try Eriks military surplus or Boyce Equipment for the seals. Very simple to do, just everything is heavy. If search this topic there are a couple threads the will walk you all the way through it along with pics to go with each step. Good luck!

    Coolant behind exhaust manifold studs??

    Ok I am in the process of replacing the exhaust manifold gasket on my LDT465-1C. While removing the exhaust nuts lastnight, I had one bring the stud out along with it on the #5 cylinder. When I got it all the way out coolant started pouring out the hole where the stud came from. Is this normal...

    Intake and exaust manifold off, some questions about putting it back together

    Thanks a bunch! My computer took a dump on me, so opening the TM's isn't an option for me at this point, so I'll go with the grade 5 specs and see what happens!

    Deuce Fuel Tank Cap Leaking

    My deuce leaked also anytime I drove it. I replaced the oring seal and doesn't leak a drop. Might also check and make sure the lip on the tank where the seal sets isn't bent or deformed.

    14.00R20 price check

    I would also like to add that brand and tread pattern are also factors. Not sure about your area, but here in NM for 85% or better tread, I'm getting $200 for Michelin XZL's, but for Goodyear AT-2's I'm lucky if I can sell them for $150 per tire. Those prices are for tire and rim. Another aspect...

    Oil Fairy?!?!

    Fuel heater runs off whatever is in your fuel tank... Easiest way to eliminate that out of the equation is to bypass it. If you're not wanting to get rid of it though, I would take the two fuel lines off the injector nozzle, remove the nozzle out of the intake, reconnect the two lines to the...

    Oil Fairy?!?!

    I discovered the exact same thing with my deuce this weekend, about 2 extra gallons of oil in the crankcase. I feared the worst ( diesel in the oil). After doing a lot of reading on "making oil" I had concluded that fuel HAD to be getting into the oil... How else could that much extra oil have...

    Replacing Valve Stems - Will these fit?

    Yes those are HEMTT rims with an adapter plate bolted to to outside from what i can see from your pics.To replace the valve stem you will have to split the rim. Out of personal experience, I found it definitely worth the 25$ to have a tire shop split the rims, especially of you have bead locks...
