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...
An update:
I changed the trasn fluid to Royal Purple 85w-90 (i think cant remember off the top of my head about the viscosity)
It made no difference in sound or shift feel. Wasted $98 on fluid. I have used this stuff in my corvette and noticed signifcant difference in shift feel, mileage and...
Porky, Yup I read those, I will heed that advice! Thanks
WColt, Can you elaborate? what on the clutch needed to be adjusted?
Porky, Wouldnt that make noise in every gear and only when the clutch is dis-engaged ?
(pedal pushed down)
Former, The seller of this Deuce removed the winch and PTO...
Tex,

Jimma,
Thanks! I will get a few gallons today and tackle the diffs.
This seems like a common problem. I wonder if M35Tom...
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...
It's raining too much right now and I'm at A bar. Maybe tomorrow....
I got a 24v blower in it and did some more things to it in the past couple of days. Its supposed to rain tomorrow, so maybe Sunday I'll have a clear enough day to take some pics.
Yes, I've already painted it black, about to get some seats if the salvage yard is open still. Going to convert to 12v, get a hard top, make a quad cab, restore the bed, and power steering. And if I have any money left, big ole 395 on hemmit wheels.
It was for state of Montana forestry service and usfda stickers were all over it... Said "TENDER #8" on the hood and below the tailgate.
My deuce is at my house in Gold Bar
Hey guys, tried loading the videos, but can't do it from my phone and my Internet won't be installed for a few days. I'll do my best to get pics up.
And to clarify, I had brakes, they just aren't what I'm used to.
I meant 12v blower, not wipers. The blower went up in smoke last night. But...
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...
