    Deuce Rough Terrain Limitations

    When you "bob" a Deuce you lose weight which comes in handy in soft ground. Driving in the Marines taught me quite a few lessons on driving in adverse conditions. One was keeping traction. The more wheels in contact with the ground the better, so watch your "lines" . That means if you have to...

    A3 air cleaner to whistler turbo

    I bought my reducer from "Silicone Hose Specialist." Almost any supplier of Silicone hoses will have these reducers in stock. I converted my air-cleaner over 5 years ago to the A3 model. Works great. Saved all that space in the engine compartment

    M35a2 NV4500 Conversions?

    We have been to this "rodeo" many times here. The NV4500 is longer than the Spicer 3053, therfore your transfer case will have to be pushed back and then your drivelines will need to be cut and shortened (rear) and lengthened (front) .

    Fuel Supply Line to Primary Filter Fitting

    Spoon’s build thread

    DIY Injector Servicing

    Thanks Jason for this post ! I've been meaning to set-up my pop-tester but never got around to buying the fittings needed. By the way. What fittings did you need to adapt to the Onan injectors ?

    Installing A Detroit 8v71 or 8v92 engine into a 2.5 ton or 5 ton M54A2

    Sorry. I gave a lot of my old tools away since my son will never use them. Not much need for a lawyer to be "running the rack" on an old Detroit.

    Installing A Detroit 8v71 or 8v92 engine into a 2.5 ton or 5 ton M54A2

    Now that sounds really cool ! Never heard of "Clean Cams Technology Systems" . Wished I had when I still had a chance to pick-up some good running 8V92's out of some fishing boats here.
