    Hard starting on this cold 60 deg day

    Rhetorical rant Thought I would drive "Jules" (When I was thinking of a name for my truck a friend said "that is such a bad mother *****r", think Pulp Fiction)..... but I digress, thought I would drive Jules to the big box hardware store. When I went to warm him up I didn't think it was going to...

    Gap between window and cab

    I'm going to order the seals and felts for the door and window, I will report back but I have a refrigerator box full of stuff I haven't installed yet (Ok, it's not that big.) but I'll be ordering soon.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome You would not be impressed but it's relatively cheap and works for small amounts. I would get some pics but I'm on babysitting duty and my shop is a couple blocks up the street. I bought 3 "pan filters" that fit on top of a 5 gal bucket, one is a 100 micron...

    Gap between window and cab

    I didn't think of that when posting but I took the pictures like that to be able to see clearly the gap left between the glass and top, it's a hard top. I looked at it again this afternoon thinking maybe the cab was out of kilter or something simple. I could be wrong but it seems to me the panel...

    Gap between window and cab

    The windows don't seal up very well at all when the doors are closed. Is this just the "nature of the beast", is there something I can adjust? I thought maybe new window seals on the cab (The rubber is hard but it looks like it's all there) and/or the seals along where the window slides itself...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    In the last several weeks since I bought the truck I've installed all spin on filters, changed all the fluids, greased fittings, replaced the air governor, some control switches & gauges, out with the quiet turbo, in with the whistler, added a snorkel and a bridge plate and put together a small...

    Obvious differences between engines

    I post this to help future seekers of knowledge because I assume (yes, I know); There is not a known way to tell the difference between these two engines. I very often read through thread after thread, post after post only to find.........nothing, no closure, no "I finally figured it out and...

    oil leaking out wheel, what should i do???

    The good news is that I was way over on my estimate , it was only $252.50 and that was 2hrs at $80/hr. The bad news is that this really doesn't help you any. Perhaps the quote you got was from someone who hasn't worked on a deuce before and they're playing it safe. The people working on mine...

    Heater Diverter Difference

    i jumped over here to the M151 site to ask you guys a question I've been unable to find the answer to myself. Are the above diverters used together or are they for different applications? I have the blower/core assembly and I have recently ordered the diverter pictured on the left but I really...

    I certainly hope that it's just that yours is blocked, I wasn't so fortunate

    oil leaking out wheel, what should i do???

    What 73m19 said I've been waiting a while now to get mine back (long story & not my thread) for the same repair. Don't know what the normal rate is there but here it's $75/hour, I'm planning on $700-$800. Unfortunately I don't have the heavy stuff to work on anything larger than a p/u but I'm...

    Obvious differences between engines

    I'm real sure I don't have a/an LDS as don' have anyway to compare mine with but I wouldn't be that fortunate

    Obvious differences between engines

    At least we're starting to narrow it down now, the starter is on the passenger side........so I probably have a Deuce and a half. :naner: Pictures I've seen of the engine data plate had some stamped info but the engine type was printed which is what concerns me. I should've checked closer when...

    Obvious differences between engines

    Is there some obvious way I can tell which engine is in my deuce (LDT-465-1c, LDT-1d or LDS) without taking it apart? I've searched several posts about the differences but I'm looking for something like "The canibler pin in the encabulator is truncated on the 1C and not on the 1D". I've read...

    M151 Mutt heater in a Deuce

    I thought seriously about the electric heater route until I remembered that mutt heater laying in the back of that old motorless cj i've meaning to put back together. It's small and from what I've read works well but I lack a little confidence in the fabrication dept.

    M151 Mutt heater in a Deuce

    I've been contemplating a hot water heater for my Deuce and am thinking I'll go with it mostly for the defrost capability (thanks to the several posts about it) and it just so happens I have a M151 Mutt heater that's been laying around for several years. I've been searching half the day for a...

    Looking for a part, don't know what it's called

    Great Scott!! I have a Grainger and a Fastenal less than 3 miles away, I could have had that fixed already. When I saw the prices the surplus dealers were asking I thought they must be made from Unicorn sinew. And thanks to everyone on the TM information, it all makes better sense now.

    Looking for a part, don't know what it's called

    Good info, I get frustrated flipping from one TM to another forgetting which 10 or 12 digit numbered (or how ever many) TM's I've already looked at..

    Looking for a part, don't know what it's called

    That's not the correct diagram for what I was asking, what I'm referring to are the 6 mounts for the plate that the headlight and infrared (I think) are attached to.
