2015 Show in Chester Ct. Back to the original fairgrounds this year.

Was a tough choice. I miss my Deuce as I felt it commanded a certain respect with that big ole Stack sticking out of the hood but I will say going from the Deuce to the M923 is like going from VW Rabbit to a Mercedes. It is alot easier to drive and I'm not getting any younger. Pretty clean...

Really getting sick of watching my truck get destroyed year after year because the morons in The People's Republik of Komneticut think putting straight salt down is best. These brakes were only about 3 yrs old and probably 5000 miles. I could not get the drum off. The adjuster was rusted so bad...

I honestly am a little confused about how to bid with them. I am looking at a few trucks. I thought there would be a sticky maybe by now but could not find much at all. Can anyone go through the basics of bidding/buying from GP ? I have successfully established an account to bid. Any tricks or...

Before the mods jump on me, I am not looking for a loophole or looking to do anything illegal. I am hoping we can have a discussion on this in a civilized matter. I see no "contract" that says it "cannot" be registered. What I see is a "Hold Harmless" agreement that does not seem to state legal...

I have spent the last two hours going through Tm's, google search, site search and maybe I'm retarded but I can't find the info or which TM. I have looked in Tm9-2320-361-20 chap 20,TM9-2320-209-20-1,TM9-2320-209-34-2-1 chap 10,11,12 and still can't find the actual seal replacement procedure...

I hate the v belts on these. I got rid of them on my M1008 and never looked back but that included a 12v conversion, which for that truck was the right thing to do. What I was studying was the CUCV sticky on the isolated ground theory of operation. The serp belt setup uses a non isolated cs130...

These things are junk. I installed one on my M1009 and it burned out within a month. Napa warrantied it but now I only got 1 week from the new one. It was installed properly as I have installed many over the years. The first one I clocked at 6 the second at 12 either of which is acceptable...

I dropped one of my caps. I looked for over an hour. it's gone. Any idea where I can get one ? I don't want to replace a 300$ battery not to mention I'm screwed tomorrow. I shoved a plastic cap in the hole for tomorrow but don't like the idea of not having the proper vented cap. They screw in...

Tired of freezing my nuts off in this frigid weather. I have a universal 12v auxiliary heater similar to what the civvy suburbans had. Should I t each coolant line or hook the auxiliary heater in series with the cab heater ? Also which hose if I do the cab heater interrupt ? Upper or lower on...

Fried my Alternator...can I fix it ? I think I fried the voltage regulator. is it serviceable ? Any idea where to get one ? I was changing the rats nest in the battery box and I screwed up and hooked the batts up backwards and I saw a quick spark and now it does not charge.

It's supposed to hit -10f with up to -30f windchill. I put new antifreeze in it when I swapped in the motor this past summer and figured I was good to go but in checking all my vehicles tonight the Deuce failed. I only had 3 balls floating which was -10f. I opened up the radiator drain and took...

Picked up an M1009(Blazer). paint and bodywork is a little rough but the body is rust free. Even behind the seats, the tailgate crossmember etc. I have never seen one so clean around here. Of course the PPO(Previous Previous Owner) painted it with rustoleum and a brush and did some of the...

I seem to remember tossing this on my old 83 K20 civvy. This one is shot and I have no idea where to get one or what it is even called. I am pretty sure the pre 81 trucks had the same braking system but without this thing.

Well I painted my M1008 two years ago with Milspray which was the worst garbage I have ever seen. It peeled off in sheets and would turn to mush when you washed the truck with hot water. Their stuff is garbage. That said the underneath of the truck took a pretty bad beating from the insane...

Well my Deuce has a bad vibration. It starts around 28 mph and peaks about 35 mph and is much better 40-45. It feels like a bad bearing somewhere. I was thinking ring and pinion on one of the diffs but then driving it today I noticed something. When I feel the vibration, I don't feel it in the...

I realize people have reused the nuts with new or ground down collars etc but I am an anal curmudgeon and wanted the right fittings. They are used for gas pilot lines. Here they are. I did mine today and they were the exact right fitting and the job came out nice. Don't forget inserts as well...

Thought I'd throw up a few pics. Chapter 8 pretty much covers it in detail. I spaced the Vee Spring out a bit more so there is no chance of it rubbing on the drum. I did shim the outershoe as per TM. I appear to be missing the spring that holds the upper part of the outer shoe and someone put a...

Since the MEP002's are going extinct and I didn't get one in time was looking at MEP701a for a backup generator. It's only 3k watts but from what I understand they are way underrated ?? Pretty **** big gen for only 3k watt ? How are they ?Decent ? worth it ?

My neighbor had a bachelor party that I Dj'ed. PG rated, no "entertainment" . I had Jr. with me so I couldn't get loaded(that sucked) so I took the groom to be and the rest of the guys on a trip around town in the Deuce. Luckily mine is equipped with 16 seat belts on the troop seats. It was fun...
